He said—(I only give the heads)—he said,

He meant no harm in scribbling; 'twas his way

Upon all topics; 'twas, besides, his bread,

Of which he buttered both sides; 'twould delay

Too long the assembly (he was pleased to dread),

And take up rather more time than a day,

To name his works—he would but cite a few—[hr]

"Wat Tyler"—"Rhymes on Blenheim"—"Waterloo."[556]
