After all, the public are perhaps a Lttle unreasonable, when they expect a Satirist to torture his brains for their amuse- ment, whose only encouragement is the certainty of abuse. For hit a knave where we will, we are sure not to please him; and a fool is often angry without being hit at ail. But I have one consolition, as I have not half the genius of Pope, or Dry- den, I may hope to escape with half the censures lavished upoa them* 84 HYPOCRISY.
Of Rank and Riches proud, the Placeman see, Th...e stern Republican, of Poverty. And Broadbrim sports his dittos, and his hat, Proud as Lord Fanny of his silk cravat.
Proud of his debts and Phaeton in four, Sir John to borrow seeks Avaro's door, Who to the Senate just about to ride, On half-starved hunter mounts, to show his pride ; Sir John his suit obtains, but stranger yet, Pride makes a miser scorn to claim a debt. * * John Elwes. This extraordinary man was never known to demand a debt. Avarice was his ruling passion, but pride was the disturbing force that produced no small eccentricity in his character.
