HE. Dear Shade! I will: Then mix this duft with thine-O fpotlefs Ghoft! -He faid, and dy’d. XIV. On EDMOND Duke of BUCKINGHAM, Who died in the Nineteenth Year of his I Age, 1735: F modeft Youth, with cool Reflection crown'd, XV. For H EROES and KINGS! your distance keep; In peace Who never flatter'd Folks like you: Another, on the fame. UNDER this Marble, or under this Sill, Or under this Turf, or e'en what they will; Whatever an Heir, or a Friend in his stead, Or any good creature fhall lay o'er my head, Lies one who ne'er car'd, and still cares not a pin What they faid, or may fay of the Mortal within: But who, living and dying, ferene still and free, Trufts in GOD, that as well as he was, he shall be. XVI. Lord CONINGSBY's EPITAPH*. H ERE lies Lord Coningsby-be civil; The reft God knows-fo does the Devil. *This Epitaph, originally written on Picus Mirandula, is applied to F. Chartres, and printed among the works of Swift. See Hawkefworth edition, vol. vi. S. On On BUTLER's MONUMENT. Perhaps by Mr. POPE *. RESPECT to Dryden, Sheffield juftly pay'd, And noble Villers honour'd Cowley's shade: * Mr. Pope, in one of the prints from Scheemaker's monument of Shakespeare in Weftminster-Abbey, has fufficiently fhewn his contempt of Alderman Barber, by the following couplet, which is fubftituted in the place of "The cloud-capt towers, &c." "Thus Britain lov'd me; and preserv'd my fame, "Clear from a Barber's or a Benfon's name." A. POPE. Pope might probably have fuppreffed his fatire on the Alderman, because he was one of Swift's acquaintances and correfpondents; though in the 4th Book of the Dunciad he has an anonymous ftroke at him: “‹ So by each bard an Alderman fhall fit, "A heavy Lord shall hang at every wit." S To To Lady MARY WORTLEY MONTAGUE *. I I. N beauty, or wit, No mortal as yet To queftion your empire has dar'd; But men of difcerning Have thought that in learning, To yield to a lady was hard. II. Impertinent schools, With mufty dull rules, Have reading to females deny'd: So papists refufe The Bible to use, Left flocks fhould be wife as their guide. III. 'Twas a woman at first, (Indeed fhe was curst) In knowledge that tasted delight, *This panegyric on Lady Mary Wortley Montague might have been fuppreffed by Mr. Pope, on account of her having fatirized him in her verfes to the imitator of Horace; which abuse he returned in the first Satire of the fecond book of Horace. "From furious Sappho, fcarce a milder fate, "P-'d by her love, or libel'd by her hate." S. And And fages agree The laws fhould decree To the firft of poffeffors the right. IV. Then bravely, fair dame, Refume the old claim, Which to your whole fex does belong; From a second bright Eve, The knowledge of right, and of wrong. ས་ But if the first Eve Hard doom did receive, When only one apple had she, What a punishment new Shall be found out for you, Who tafting, have robb'd the whole tree?
