War, that does on plenty feed.

Recitativo.

Phœbus with joy looks Britain round to see,

The happy state of his lov’d Poetry,

To Eusdes, Cibber gloriously succeeds;

Wit triumphs most, when bard like farmer feeds!

Then truly are we great, when he can shew

The way his own out-doings to out-do.

Cast, envious Poets, on his Verse your Eyes,

Behold the offspring of his brain.
