a_o satyr_n against_o the_o penman_n and_o speech-man_n of_o the_o time_n now_o every_o scribbler_n do_v the_o press_n invade_v and_o what_o be_v a_o diversion_n grow_v a_o trade_n some_o poet_n bear_v with_o five_o lame_a foot_n for_o measure_n and_o two_o bald_a rhyme_n think_v to_o give_v reader_n pleasure_n so_o with_o ear_n tickle_v and_o deceitful_a cadence_n supply_v the_o great_a defect_n of_o wit_n and_o sense_n some_o who_o for_o verse_n never_o scratch_v pate_n laugh_v at_o those_o that_o help_v out_o sense_n with_o rhyme_n and_o in_o loose_a prose_n vent_v yet_o more_o wretched_a stuff_v themselves_o however_o with_o this_o advantage_n that_o it_o do_v more_o appear_v in_o prose_n for_o where_o the_o work_n be_v in_o measure_n wrought_v the_o rhyme_n oft_o hide_v the_o meanness_n of_o the_o thought_n but_o now_o we_o have_v see_v the_o manner_n to_o the_o man_n and_o to_o the_o weighty_a subject_n of_o each_o pen._n here_o a_o brave_a knight_n with_o hundred_o at_o his_o heel_n through_o many_o a_o street_n lane_n turn_n wind_n wheel_n lord_n mayor_n at_o guildhall_n thither_o he_o will_v reach_v in_o pain_n till_o he_o be_v deliver_v of_o a_o speech_n
