A SATYR, SELECTION by JONATHAN SMEDLEY

First Line: SCIENCE AND ARTS ARE AT A STAND
Last Line: THE DUSTY PRESS WOULD STAND QUITE STILL.
Subject(s): SHERIDAN, THOMAS (1687-1738); SWIFT, JONATHAN (1667-1745);

Science and Arts are at a stand;
Weren't not for Hel -- m's @3Sleigh of Hand,@1
For Sherry's quibbles, and thy quill
The dusty press would stand quite still.
