As a Poet, of subjects was once in great want,
He an Elegy wrote on it sickly old Aunt,
*ho chancing to hear of her Nephew's odd freak,
Resolv'd the impertinent Poet to ftek,
To drive_both Himself and his Elegy thence,
And punish him duly for this his offence.
" Indeed," said theßhymester, "rown it was wrong,
To make you, my dear Niadam, the point of my song;
But my fault to confess is at once the best way,
And since I hare done it, permit me to say,
That more generous surely I never can be,
Than to grant you ten fed fdr but one L—E—G—
But if this excuse brings net pardon about, -
The next time I'll foot it, a better w/y out."
