To the Bookseller, on the foregoing Poem.THE Author's yet unknown to me, so Iforbear to speak, for fear I should therebyDetract from his desert, and hurt his Name,Who once may gain an everlasting Fame.His Aim is good, the Subject's too divine,To be made better by a Pen of mine:The Genius may, by use, be more sublime,And Dr—n may become his Friend in time.His Name (perhaps) may make the faithless WorldBelieve his Muse from Helicon was hurl'd.Till then, I'll say no more, than that I am,Your faithful Friend, and still will be the same.C.
