WOu'dst
thou
,
by
Attic
taste
approv'd
,
By
all
be
read
,
by
all
be
lov'd
,
To
learned
Harris'
curious
eye
,
By
me
advis'd
,
dear
Muse
,
apply
:
In
him
the
perfect
judge
you'll
find
,
In
him
the
candid
friend
,
and
kind
.
If
he
repeats
,
if
he
approves
,
If
he
the
laughing
muscles
moves
,
Thou
nor
the
critic's
sneer
shal'st
mind
,
Nor
be
to
pie's
or
trunks
consign'd
.
If
he
condemns
,
away
you
fly
,
And
mount
in
paper
kites
the
sky
,
Or
dead
'mongst
Grub-street's
records
lye
.
