MUSAPÆDIA, OR Mifcellany POEMS, Never before Printed. By feveral Members of the OXFORD Poetical Parce Pueris Chartis illudentibus; Et fi pauca nitent in Carmine Ducant vendantque Poema. Hor. The SECOND EDITION. LOND ON: Printed for R. FRANCKLIN, at the Sun against ADVERTISEMENT FROM THE BOOKSELLER. T HE following Poems being fent me from Chrift-Church College in OXFORD, I thought it would not be amils to let the Reader know that I was obliged not to communicate Them, before the Publication, to any One; and under fo great a Difadvantage does this Collection come to the World, that I think my self neceffitated to beg a favourable Reception from the Publick; the Authors being under no Concern for the Fate of them, have thrown them entirely into my Hands, without either Dedication, Preface or Title; never was poor Infant drop'd fo Naked, or with fo little Reluctance; A 2 iv Advertisement &c. luctance; however, being fatisfied that Poems of a worfe Stamp have fucceeded beyond Expectation, I have Reafon to believe that fome of these may attone for the Faulty, and give the Whole a Reputation, Just Publish'd, STREPHON's Revenge; a Satire on the Oxford Toafts; infcrib'd to the Author of Merton Walks.
