With constitutional veracity;
Yet garrulous he tells too much,
On fancied failings prone to touch
With sedulous loquacity.
At length, Job's patience it would try,
Brewed on my lees comes "Thrale's Entrie,"
Straining to draw my picture;
For she a common-place book kept,
"Johnson at Streatluim dined and slept,"
And who shall contradict her?
