The First PART. WRITTEN In the TIME of the Late Wars. Corrected and Amended. ADDITIONS and ANNOTATIONS Adorned with CUTS. LONDON: Printed forOHN BAKER, Row. 1710. A TO THE READER. Oeta nafcitur, non fit, is a Sentence of as great Truth as Antiquity; it being most certain, that all the acquir'd Learning imaginable is infufficient to compleat a Poet, without a Natural Genius and Propensity to for Noble and fublime an Art. And we may without Offence obferve, that many very Learned Men, who have been ambitious to be thought Poets, have only render'd themfelves obnoxious to that Satyrical Infpiration, our Author wittily invokes; Which made them, tho' it were in fpight Of Nature and their Stars, to write. |
