Horace Greeley and Good Sense.


In looking over the hn.ekerdocker for
March, 1857, PIP. 295-1, find where a
couple Of literary men differed as to
who was the author of the somewhat
famous two lines Of poetry:
"Immodest words admit OF no defence,
For want Of decency is want of sense"
Nearly all the world yet supposes
that they were written by Pope. But
this is not the case. They were written
by the Earl of Roscommon. in his
Essay on Translated Verse" One Of
the gentlemen bet that the lines were
by Pope. This caused him to CLEAN all
the couplets from Pope which would
rhyme with defence or. sense, and he
selected forty couplets, which he gives
in this number OF the Knicksrboeker. j
give his last couplet as there pub
lisbed:
