To Esq of with a Life of the late Ingenious Mr W M Hogarth	A
	-
	-
Dear Cosmopolitan I know	B
I should address you a Rondeau	B
Or else announce what I've to say	C
At least en Ballade fratris e	D
But No for once I leave Gymnasticks	C
And take to simple Hudibrasticks	C
Why should I choose another Way	C
When this was good enough for GAY	C
	-
You love my FRIEND with me I think	E
That Age of Lustre and of Link	E
Of Chelsea China and long s es	C
Of Bag wigs and of flowered Dresses	C
That Age of Folly and of Cards	C
Of Hackney Chairs and Hackney Bards	C
No H LTS no K G N P LS were then	F
Dispensing Competence to Men	F
The gentle Trade was left to Churls	C
Your frowsy TONSONS and your CURLLS	C
Mere Wolves in Ambush to attack	G
The AUTHOR in a Sheep skin Back	G
Then SAVAGE and his Brother Sinners	C
In Porridge Island div'd for Dinners	C
Or doz'd on Covent Garden Bulks	C
And liken'd Letters to the Hulks	C
You know that by gone Time I say	C
That aimless easy moral'd Day	C
When rosy Morn found MADAM still	H
Wrangling at Ombre or Quadrille	H
When good Sir JOHN reel'd Home to Bed	I
From Pontack's or the Shakespear's Head	I
When TRIP convey'd his Master's Cloaths	C
And took his Titles and his Oaths	C
While BETTY in a cast Brocade	J
Ogled MY LORD at Masquerade	J
When GARRICK play'd the guilty Richard	K
Or mouth'd Macbeth with Mrs PRITCHARD	K
When FOOTE grimac'd his snarling Wit	L
When CHURCHILL bullied in the Pit	L
When the CUZZONI sang	M
But there	N
The further Catalogue I spare	N
Having no Purpose to eclipse	C
That tedious Tale of HOMER'S Ships	C
This is the MAN that drew it all	H
From Pannier Alley to the Mall	H
Then turn'd and drew it once again	F
From Bird Cage Walk to Lewknor's Lane	O
Its Rakes and Fools its Rogues and Sots	C
Its brawling Quacks its starveling Scots	C
Its Ups and Downs its Rags and Garters	C
Its HENLEYS LOVATS MALCOLMS CHARTRES	C
Its Splendour Squalor Shame Disease	C
Its quicquid agunt Homines	C
Nor yet omitted to pourtray	N
Furens quid possit Foemina	O
In short held up to ev'ry Class	C
NATURE'S unflatt'ring looking Glass	C
And from his Canvass spoke to All	H
The Message of a JUVENAL	H
	-
Take Him His Merits most aver	N
His weak Point is his Chronicler	N
