To the VXINTER,
SIR,
„T'HE following Jeu d'Efyril was the Production
of the prefect Dew of Derry, Dr. Barnard,
who advanced in Conversation with Sir Joshua
Reynolds and other Wits, that he thought " no
.'dan could improve when he was pah the A^e of
forty-five," Johnson (Samuel) who was in Com
pany, with his usual Elegance aid poHJbfd Graces,
immediately turned round to the facetious Dean,
and told him that he was an Instance to the con
trary, for that there was great Room for Im
provement Dean) and w/bed he'd J^
about it ; upon wnich, the Dean the next Day
sent the following elegant Bagatelle to Sir Jofhoa
Re noh's, and the fame Company : if you think
it worth , our inserting, I may venture to fay it
will please many of ypur Readers, among the rest
Your humble Servant,
Berth, OR. io. REGULUS SECUNDUS.
To Sir JOSHUA REYNOLDS and Co.
By the Dean of Derry.
T Lately thought no Man alive,
Could e'er improve pall forty-five,
And ventur'd to afferr it;
The Observation was not new',
But feem'd to me so just and true,
That none could controvert it.
'' No, Sir," fays Johnson, " 'tis not so,
" That's your Mistake, and I can Ihew
“ An Instance if you doubt it ;
“ You, Sir, who are near forty-eight,
" May much improve, 'tis not too late,
“ I wifn you'd set about it."
Encourag'd thus to mend my Faults,
I turn'd his Counsel in my Thoughts,
Which Way I (hail'd apply it;
Learning and Wit feem'd past ray Reach,
For who an learn when none will teach ?
And Wit — I could not buy it.
Then come my Friends, and try your Skill,
You can inform me if you will,
(My Books are at a Distance.)
With you I'll live and learn, an I then
Instead of Books, I (hall read Men,
So lend me your Assistance.
Dear , Knight of Photon, teach me ha*r
To fuffer with unruffled brow,
And Smile fertile like thwe:
The Jeff uncouth, or Truth severe.
To such I'd turn my dcafeft E r,
And calmly drink my Wine,
Thou sayest, net only Skill is gain'd.
But Genius too may be attain'd
By studious Imitation;
Thy temper mild, thy Genius fine,
I'll copy till I make thee mine,
By constant Application.
Thy Art of pleasing, teach me Garrick,
Thou, who revereft Odes Pindaric,
A second Time read o'er ;
Oh ! cou'd we read thee backwards too,
Last thirty Years thou fhou'flt review,
And charm us thirty more.
If I have Thoughts and can't express 'em,
Gibbons (hall teach me how to dress 'em.
In Terms fried and terse ;
Jones teach me Modesty and Greek,
Sraith how to think, Burke how to speak,
And Beauclere to converse.
Let Johnson teach me how to place,
In lalreft Light, each borrow'd Grace,
From him I'll learn to write ;
Copy his clear familiar Style,
And from the Roughn^fs of his File,
Grow like b:»;Jelf -pstiie.
