The name of "Beauty," Heav'n-imparted dower?

Are they fit devotees, who late displayed

The symbol of a vitriol-tinted flower?

And shall the sweet and kindly Muse be shamed

By unsexed "Poetry" that defiles your page?

Has Art a mission that may not be named,

With "scarlet sins" to enervate the age?

All honour to the rare and cleanly prints,

Which have not filled our homes from day to day

With garbage-epigrams and pois'nous hints
