T hath "oe, very cr to che writer of hel 
idle lines to have heard them commented on with 


great accuracy of Criticiſm ; ; and as little quarter given to 


the Poet as he hath appeared to ſhew to Sancho :—it will, 


doubtleſs, be ſaid that he ſhould expect no more: how⸗ 


ever, he will take the liberty to point out to theſe pro- 


found Judges the line by which they ſhould judge of their 
ſeveral demerits.— The firſt (The Hzzxorc Pos rsckhirr) i >. 
a performance, confined to no particular ſubject: the 


| author. had, by a former Poem, eſtabliſhed—as he himſelf 


modeſtly expreſſes it“ A Fame as fix d as fate,” and 
his preſent one was announced as ſuperior even to that 


( —paullo majora canamus —) treating us at the ſame 


time with a fpecimen of the grave and majeſtic air which 


he intended to aſſume in his next. — As for theſe trifling 
comments on that performance the author can only ſay, that 
there is no one Reader of them who ſhall not be perfectly 


welcome to alter every line and expreſſion in them, or 
expunge till the Poem become a non-entity :—provided 
only that, admitting the obvious defects of the other, he 
will ht down and e out thoſe defects with truly elegant

done this—the vanq uiſhed Scribler of the Familiar Epiſtle 


ſhall own him poſſeſſed of a degree of critical Aſſiduity 


and patient Dulneſs, which ſhall command his higheſt ve vene- 
ration, without e one ie particle c of Envy. .. 


FThoſe who are ect judges, having, no Gstibtz 7 at a 
glance diſcovered what true ground for ridicule there 1 is 


in Sancho's laſt performance, will immediately perceive : 


that this Stricture on it, is entirely addreſſed to the Level 
of their underſtandings who look upon that Bard as a 


oy 


Genius of the firſt rate: not ſcrupling to charge their 


memories with his ſmooth couplets with as much care 
and repetition as they would beſtow on a bon mot of t their 
own, or a Rondeau of 8 Melli. 911

*I know not whether it will be worth while to mark, ſeriouſly, any faults, in a 
Poem, where careleſſneſs and expedition will be urged as a full excuſe ; however, as the 
Poet has, juſt before the laſt-quoted pailage, made a, point with his muſe, that ſhe 
ſhould keep him within “'the bounds of Senſe and Verſe,” I ſhall take the liberty of 
ſhewing to him, 'in Proſe, a few places where ſhe has been very remiſs. A little way
