119 페이지 - Dear charming nymph, neglected and decried, My shame in crowds, my solitary pride. Thou source of all my bliss, and all my woe, That found'st me poor at first, and keep'st me so; Thou guide, by which the nobler arts excel, Thou nurse of every virtue, fare thee well!
308 페이지 - But I have seen thy work, and I know thee : And, if thou list thyself, what thou canst be. For, though but early in these paths thou tread, I find thee write most worthy to be read.

What walls can guard me, or what shades can hide? They pierce my thickets, through my grot they glide, By land...
240 페이지 - Who shames a scribbler? break one cobweb through, He spins the slight, self-pleasing thread anew: Destroy his fib or sophistry, in vain, The creature's at his dirty work again, Throned in the centre of his thin designs, Proud of a vast extent of flimsy lines!
261 페이지 - You see, we try all shapes, and shifts, and arts, To tempt your favours, and regain your hearts.

301 페이지 - To teare the passive earth, nor lash his taile About his buttockes broad ; the slimy snayle Might on the wainscot, (by his many mazes Winding meanders and selfe-knitting traces) Be follow'd, where he stucke, his glittering slime Not yet wipt off.
