Cloſe, carver, by ſome well cut books,
Let a thin buſto tell,
In ſpite of plump and pamper’d looks,
How ſcantly ſenſe can dwell!

Since loftieſt verſe would loſe its ſtrength,
In mentioning his own.

At once! and not verboſely tame,
Some brave Laconic pen
Should ſmartly touch his ample name,
In form of—O rare Ben!
