Firﬁ Satire of tloe Second Book of Horace.

N two large Columns, on thy moriy Page,
Where Roman Wit is ﬁripe’d with Enghjb Rage g 2

Where Rihaidry to Satire makes pretence;
And modern Scandal rolls with ancient Senfe a
Whilﬂ on one ﬁde we fee how Horace thought,
And on the other how he never wrote. '- 2

Who can believe, who view the bad and good;
. That drill the Copi’ﬂ: better underﬂood

That Spirit, h’e pretends to imitate, ‘

Than heretofore that Greek he did tranﬂate 2' '

As thou thy {elf art of the Sons of Mene

Where our own Species in Burlefque we traee, '

‘ Thy Bow is doubly bent to force a Dark.
Nor Dignity nor Innocence is fpat’d,

Nor only Iuﬁice vainly we demana,
But even Beneﬁts can’t rein thy Hand :
To this or that alike in vain we truﬂ,
Nor ﬁnd thee left. Ungrateful than Unjuﬁ.
Not. even Youth and Beauty can controul - .
The univerfal Raucour of thy Soul;
Charms that might {often Superﬂition’s R389,
Might humble Pride, or thaw the Ice of Age.
But how fhou’dﬂ thou by Beauty’s Force be mov’ds?
No more for loving made, than to be lov’d?
