not this finer far Then walk un-hided when that every Stone Has knock'd acquaintance with your Anckle bone VVhen your wing'd papers like the last dove nere Return'd to quit you of your hope or fear But left you to the mercy of your Host And your days fare a fortified Toast How many battel 's sung in Epick strain Would have procur'd your head thatch from the rain Not all the arms of Thebes and

Poets raging with Poetick heat Tearing themselves and th endl●sse wrea●h as though Immortal they their wrath should be so too And doubly fir'd Apollo burns to see In silent Helicon a Naumachie Parnassus hears these as his first alarms Never till now Minerva was in arms O more then Conqu'ror of the World great Rome Thy Hero's did with gentleness or'e come Thy Foes themselves but one another first Whilst Envy stript alone was left and burst The learn'd Decemviri 't is true did strive But to add flames to keep their fame alive Whilst the eternal Lawrel hung i th' Air Nor of these ten Sons
