THE inequality of ietribution turns to a pity when there is not ability sufficient for acknowledgment. Your equal respects may yet admit the readiness of endeavour, though the very hazard in it betray my defect. I have enjoyed freely acquaintance with the sweetness of your dispositipns, and can justly account, from the nobleness of them, an evident distinction betwixt friendship and friends. The latter-according to the practice of compliment-are usually met with, and often without search the other many have searched for, I have found. For which, though I partake a benefit of the fortune, yet to you, most equal pair, must remain the honour of that bounty.

But wheres now such a one in which these three Are handsomely contrivd or, if they be, Are understood by all who hear to see Wit, wits the word in fashion, that alone Cries up the poet, which, though neatly shown, Is rather censurd, oftentimes, than known. He who will venture on a jest, that can Rail on anothers pain, or idly scan Affairs of state, 0, hes the only man A goodly approbation, which must bring Fame with contempt by such a deadly sting The Muses chatter, who were wont to sing.
