PARODY ON THE SPEECH OF DR. BENJAMIN PRATT TO THE PRINCE OF WALES, SEL by JONATHAN SWIFT

First Line: THUS, SIR, YOU SEE HOW MUCH AFFECTION
Last Line: IN GOODNESS, WIT, AND BEAUTY.
Thus, sir, you see how much affection,
Not interest, sways in this election,
But sense of loyal duty.
For you suprass all princes far,
A glow-worms do exceed a star,
In goodness, wit, and beauty.
