LINES ADDED TO WYCHERLEY'S POEMS: 2. OF THE BYPASS OF A BOWL, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: The poize of dulness to the heavy skull
Last Line: The nearer to its end, or purpose, home.


The Poize of Dulness to the heavy Skull,
Is like the Leaden Byass to the Bowl,
Which, as more pond'rous, makes its Aim more true,
And guides it surer to the Mark in view;
The more it seems to go about, to come
The nearer to its End, or Purpose, home.
