But when th' illuftrious poet foars above If thou wouldst have thy volume stand the test, Let Prior's Muse with soft'ning accents move, Waller in Granville lives: when Mira sings, On Addison's sweet lays attention waits, When Pope's harmonious Muse with pleasure roves 30 } From Prom these successful bards collect thy strains, And praise with profit shall reward thy pains : Then, while calves-leather binding bears the sway, And thecp-skin to it's sleeker glofs gives way; While neat old Elzivir is reckon'd better Than Pirate Hill's brown Meets and scurvy letter ; While print-admirers careful Aldus chuse, Before John Morphew, or the weekly news; So long shall live thy praise in books of fame, And Tonson yield to Lintott's lofty name, 1 END OF THE FIRST VOLUME.
