"No youth did I in education waste;

"Writing ne'er cramp'd the finews of my thumb,
"No barb'rous birch did ever brush my b.
"My guts ne'er fuffer'd from a college cook,
"My name ne'er enter'd in a buttery book.
"Grammar in vain the fons of Prifcian teach;
"Good parts are better than eight parts of speech.
"Since these declin'd, thofe undeclin'd they call;
"I thank my ftars, that I declin'd them all.

To Greek or Latin tongues without pretence,
"I trust to Mother Wit and Father Senfe.
"Nature's my guide; all pedantry I fcorn;
"Pains I abhor, I was an Author born."
