Rhyme Scheme: AAAAABBAACDAEE FHold on thy course uncheck'd heroic Wood | A |
Regardless what the player's son may prate | A |
Saint Stephens' fool the Zany of Debate | A |
Who nothing generous ever understood | A |
London's twice Pr tor scorn the fool born jest | A |
The stage's scum and refuse of the players | B |
Stale topics against Magistrates and Mayors | B |
City and Country both thy worth attest | A |
Bid him leave off his shallow Eton wit | A |
More fit to sooth the superficial ear | C |
Of drunken Pitt and that pickpocket Peer | D |
When at their sottish orgies they did sit | A |
Hatching mad counsels from inflated vein | E |
Till England and the nations reeled with pain | E |
