Citation | NYWJ.750.024 8 Oct 1750:12 (876) Ye paultry scriblers of a foggy clime, How dare ye write in either prose or rhyme, How dare ye write in either rhyme or prose, 'Gainst common sense, in spite of nature's nose; . . . [22 lines] Tho' plac'd beneath the dignity of rhyme, Yet mount the stage thou monster of the time; . . . [14 lines] To caping fools that round the monster throng, The nurses menace, and the children's song, Whose heart and tongue is always in the wrong. . . . [9 more lines] |
