One likes the pheasant ' s wing , and one the leg ; The vulgar boil , the learned
roast an egg : Hard task to hit the palate of such guests , When Oldfield loves

Nor public flame, nor private, dares to shine ; Nor human spark is left, nor glimpse divine !

Página 72 - Peace to all such ! but were there one whose fires True genius kindles, and fair fame inspires; Blest with each talent and each art to please, And born to write, converse, and live with ease : Should such a man, too fond to rule alone, Bear, like the Turk...
Página 126 - He stuck to poverty with peace of mind ; And me, the Muses help'd to undergo it ; Convict a papist he, and I a poet. But (thanks to Homer) since I live and thrive, Indebted to no prince or peer alive ; Sure I should want the care of ten Monroes,3 If I would scribble rather than repose.
