Epistle From Esopus To Maria
eye.
blest highnd bo! once my proudest dress,
now prouder still, maria's temples press;
i see her wave thy t plumes afar,
and call eab to the wordy war:
i see her face the first of irend's sons,
and even out-irish his hibernian bronze;
the crafty el leaves the tartan'd lines,
for other wars, where he a hero shines:
the hopeful youth, in scottish senate bred,
who owns a bushby's heart without the head,
es 'mid a string of bs, to dispy
that veni, vidi, vici, is his way:
the shrinking bard adown the alley skulks,
and dreads a meeting
