From the Gentleman's Magazine.
To the Author of the Following Lines on the Death of Yorick.
Wit, humour, genius, thou hadst, all agree;
One grain of wisdom had been worth all three.
So!--This is wisdom--to insult the dead;
Heap fancied crimes upon a mortal's head:
Well-be it so--such wisdom, and such art
Shall never--never shall approach my heart
