The Author to his Book.
GOe Slender Pinnace to a Boist'rous Sea,Where naught but Tempests, Rocks and Quick-Sands be.Such is the Curse attends this Wicked Age,Such are the Actors fill this Spacious Stage,That Impudence must pass for Wit, and theyWho'ave most of Malice, bear the greatest Sway.Yet when thou meet'st with Real Wit, Strike Sail,Though they reprove thee sharply, 'tmay Avail;But ev'ry little Bubble of the Town,Will take the Hint, and tell it for his own:That's Hard;—yet let them baul their Lungs away,Thy Fate depends not on a Poets Day.However, in thy Cabin, as they pass,Tell them thou hast a* 1.1 Sympathetick Glass,Will shew a Fool, a Fool; an Asse, an Asse.
