His court, the dissolute and hateful school Of wantonness, where vice was taught by rule, Swarmed with a scribbling herd as deep inlaid With brutal lust as ever Circe made.
From these a long succession in the rage Of rank obscenity debauched their age.
Nor ceased, till ever anxious to redress The abuses of her sacred charge, the press, The Muse instructed a well-nurtured train Of abler votaries to cleanse the stain.
And claim the palm for purity of song, That lewdness had usurped and worn so lo...ng.
Then decent pleasantry and sterling sense, That neither gave nor would endure offence.
Whipped out of sight, with satire just and keexii The puppy pack that had defiled the scene.
In front of these came Addison. In him Humour, in holiday and sightly trim, Sublimity and Attic taste combined.
To polish, furnish, and delight the mind.
Then Pope, as harmony itself exact.
In verse well-disciplined, complete, compact, Gave virtue and morality a grace That, quite eclipsing pleasure's painted face, Levied a tax of wonder and applause, Even on the fools that trampled on their lawau But he (his musical finesse was such, So nice his ear, so delicate his touch) Ffa Digitized by VjOOQ IC 436 THE ENGLISH POETS.
