  As _Pasaran_ directs I'd end my life, And kill myself, my daughter, and my wife. To _Greek_ or _Latin Tongues_ without pretence, I trust to mother Wit, and father Sense. _

  Who o'er thy Suns spread'st such a thick'ning Veil, That Sense of Pain, as well as Shame, is lost, And you _reward_ those best, who _blunder_ most; For where are Honours, Places, Gifts bestow'd, But where thy Influence is most avow'd? Rest, while more modern Miracles I sing, Of _Minor Dunces_ that from thee first spring; But all who Recreants thy Pow'r disclaim, And, Laureat-like, to _Pertness_ change thy Name; And ye, her Sons, who've nothing else to do, Wait, if you please, the----Vision thro': You, who in Manuscript your Works retale, And tag with Rhimes the latter Ends of Ale, But vow th' ungrateful Age shall never see, But if that Lord the _Pen_ or _Press_ invade, Rouse, rouse, ye Tribe!

  He finally instructed a young nobleman that the best poet in England was Mr. Pope, a Papist, who had begun a translation of Homer into English verse, for which he must have them all subscribe; 'for,' says he, 'the author shall not begin to print till I have a thousand guineas for him!' Bentley's phrase--a pretty poem, Mr. Pope, but you must not call it Homer--expresses the uniform view taken from the first by all who could read both.

  Pope certainly speaks of her under the name of Mrs. (_i. e._ Miss) W--, which at least argues a poetical exaggeration in describing her as a being that once had _titles_, honor, wealth, and fame; and he may as much have exaggerated her pretensions to beauty. Stratford are clear enough; but what motives determined his course _to_ London, and especially to the stage, still remains to be explained.
