THE
DEDICATION.
TO THE
Worthy, Daring, Adventurous, Thrice-renown'd, and Victorious Captain Lemuel Gulliver.
HALL a Poet find a Patron, and not a Lunatick? Let it not be said, Gulliver's alive, or the Laputians had e're now crush'd us, by coming down to mourn him; yet his Lustre dazzles; he cannot be conceal'd: His Fame rings loudly in the Moon: To Clods of Earth I tell it.
Thee
