Seite 3 - Despised and hated, how he bears to live. With honest warmth of heart, with some degree Of pity that such wretched things should be, You scorn the sordid knave — He grins at you, And deems himself the wiser of the two. — 'Tis all but taste, howe'er we sift the case ; 40 He has his joy, as every creature has.
Seite 2 - Goths, that stare astonished at their verse; To the rank tribes submit their virgin lays : So gross, so bestial, is the lust of praise!
