From the London Chronicle, of April 26, 1766.
THE GENTLE SHEPHERD. A parody of the second pastoral of Mr.
Pope.
A gentle shepherd (that's his proper name)
Retir'd to show; far distant from the Thame;
Where dancing fishes in the bason play'd
And crowded columns form'd a marble shade.
. . . [42 lines]
The Cits, while Bow Church bells forget to ring
. . . [9 lines]
In opposition B----- and T---p--e join,
And wicked Twitcher with good -----Come, matchless Jemmy!
bless the cool retreats
. . . [21 lines]
