To the Learned Critic
XVII.
? TO THE LEARNED CRITIC.
May others fear, fly, and traduce thy name,
As guilty men do magistrates ; glad I,
That wish my poems a legitimate fame,
Charge them, for crown, to thy sole censure hie.
And but a sprig of bays, given by thee,
Shall outlive garlands, stol'n from the chaste tree.
