As you have immortalized Willy Waugh by the publication of
his epitaph, written so much in his strain, that the author
appears to have much of his spirit; I hope you will confer
the same honour upon Walter Dymocke, Esq; who lately expired
in one of your papers, by publishing the following elegy
upon him, written by his and your friend and humble servant,
[signed] Unknown.
O Walter! Thou for great atchievements born!
To sleer at sacred things with pious scorn.
To laugh at truths, the hardiest ghost in hell
In their dread energy with trembling feel.
