340 And, too unjust to other Pictish men,

Enjoys thy person, and inspires thy pen!

Illustrious ! hard would be his lot,

His hirelings mentioned, and himself forgot!

, with at his back,

The whipper-in and huntsman of the pack.

Blest be the banquets spread at Holland House,

Where Scotchmen feed, and Critics may carouse!

Long, long beneath that hospitable roof

Shall Grub-street dine, while duns are kept aloof.

See honest lay aside his fork,

Resume his pen, review his Lordship's work,

And, grateful for the dainties on his plate,

Declare his landlord can at least translate!
