This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: Of all good sense, impertinent, and slight, They never have been known to stand in need Of stationer to sell, or sot to read; For, so the rhyme be at the verse's end, No matter whither all the rest does tend. Unhappy is that man who, spite of 's heart, Is forc'd to be ty'd up to rules of art. A fop that scribbles does it with delight, Takes no pains to consider what to write, But, fond of all the nonsense he brings forth, Is ravish'd with his own great wit and worth; While brave and noble writers vainly strive To such a height of glory to arrive; But, still with all they do unsatisfy'd, Ne'er please themselves, though all the world beside: And those whom all mankind admire for wit, Wish, for their own sakes, they had never writ.
