Observe the Town, and study well the Court, For thither various Characters resort: Thus 'twas great Johnson purchas'd his renown, And in his Art had born away the Crown; If less desirous of the Peoples praise, He had not with low Farce debas'd his Playes; Mixing dull Buffoonry with Wit refin'd, And Harlequin with noble Terence joyn'd. When in the Fox I see the Tortois hist, I lose the Author of the Alchymist.
