Translated Verse.
HAppy that Author; whose correct Essay
Repairs so well our Old Horatian way;
And happy those, who, (if concurring Stars
Prædestinate them to Poetick Wars)
With Pains, and leisure, by such Precepts write;
And learn to use their arms before they fight.
But since the Press, the Pulpit, and the Stage,
Joyn all their forces, to invade our Age.
