On the Toafts of the Kit-Cat Club,

W Hence

Anno 1716.

Hence deathlefs Kit-Cat took its Name,
Few Criticks can unriddle;
Some fay from Paftry-Cook it came,
And fome from Cat and Fiddle;
From no trim Beaus' its Name it boasts,
Grey Statesman, or Green Wits;
But from this Pell-mell-Pack of Toafts,
Of old Cats and young Kits.

* To a LADY with the Temple of Fame.

WHAT'S

THAT's Fame with Men, by Custom of the
Nation,

Is call'd in Women only Reputation:

About them both why keep we fuch a pother;
Part you with one, and I'll renounce the other.

Then

Verfes on England's Arch-Poet
Then took his Mufe at once, and dipt her
Full in the Middle of the Scripture.

What Wonders there the Man grown old, did?
Sternbold himself he out-Sternbolded,
Made 10 David feem fo mad and freakish,
All thought him just what thought King Acbiz.
No Mortal read his 11 Salomon,
But judg'd Roboam his own Son.
Mofes 12 he ferv'd as Mofes Pharaoh,
And Deborah, as She Sife-rab:
Made 13 Jeremy full fore to cry,
And 14 Job himself curfe God and die.

What Punishment all this must follow?
Shall Arthur ufe him like King Tollo?
Shall David as Uriah flay him?
Or dext'rous Deb'rah Sifera-him?
Or fhall Eliza lay a Plot,

To treat him like her Sifter Stot?

Shall William dub his better End,*
Or Marlb'rough ferve him like a Friend?
