But when th' illuftrious poet foars above Let Congreve teach the lift'ning groves to mourn, Let Prior's Mufe with foft'ning accents move, With Chaucer's humour and with Spencer's ftrains. On Addison's sweet lays attention waits, Alike in phyfick as in poetry. When Pope's harmonious Muse with pleasure roves Thro' the glad fhade each warbling note prolongs; 30 } From From thefe fuccefsful bards collect thy ftrains, And praise with profit fhall reward thy pains : Then, while calves-leather binding bears the sway, And sheep-fkin to it's fleeker glofs gives way; While neat old Elzivir is reckon'd better Than Pirate Hill's brown sheets and fcurvy letter; While print-admirers careful Aldus chufe, Before John Morphew, or the weekly news; So long fhall live thy praise in books of fame, And Tonfon yield to Lintott's lofty name, END OF THE FIRST VOLUME.
