fign, will be fenfible that the Poem was not made for the fe authors, but these authors for the Poem. I should judge that they were clapped in as they rofe, fresh and freth, and changed from day to day; in like manner as when the old boughs wither we thrust new ones into a chimney.

I would not have the reader too much troubled or anxious if he cannot decypher them; fince, when he fhall have found them out, he will probably know no more of the persons than before.

Yet we judged it better to preserve them as they are, than to change them for fictitious names; by which the fatire would only be multiplied, and applied to many instead of one. Had the Hero, for instance, been called Codrus, how many would have affirmed him to have been Mr. T. Mr. E. Sir R. B? &c. but now all that unjust scandal is faved, by calling him by a name which by good luck happens to be that of a real perfon.
