Subtitle: a critical discourse. In two parts. The first, shewing that the principal reason why the ancients excel'd the moderns in the greater poetry, was because they mix'd religion with poetry. The second, proving that by joyning poetry with the religion reveal'd to us in sacred writ, the modern poets might come to equal the ancients
