Of gentle Philips will I ever sing, With gentle Philips shall the Vallies ring. My Numbers too for ever will I vary, With gentle Budgell, and with gentle Carey. Or if in ranging of the Names I judge ill, With gentle Carey and with gentle Budgell. Oh! may all gentle Bards together place ye, Men of good Hearts, and Men of Delicacy. May Satire ne'er befool ye, or beknave ye, And from all Wits that have a Knack Gad save ye. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LINES IN CONCLUSION OF A SATIRE by ALEXANDER POPE MACER: A CHARACTER by ALEXANDER POPE "ON A YOUNG LADY'S FAVOURITE CAT, SELS." by ANONYMOUS ON WINTER (IN IMITATION OF AN EPISTLE BY AMBROSE PHILIPS) by MARY LEAPOR SHOE-HEEL; A RHAPSODY, SELS. by JOSEPH+(1) MITCHELL ODE TO DAPHNIS A PUPPY, PLAYING WITH MIRTILLA IN BED, SELS. by JOHN STACIE CHRISTMAS BOX FOR NAMBY PAMBY, SELS. by JONATHAN SWIFT COPY OF VERSES UPON TWO CELEBRATED MODERN POETS by JONATHAN SWIFT A FAREWELL TO LONDON IN THE YEAR 1715 by ALEXANDER POPE A HYMN WRITTEN IN WINDSOR FOREST by ALEXANDER POPE |
