London, September, 1818. THE RECANTATION. For SENSE he little owes to frugal Heaven. " Sir W******, art thou much conversed with HISTORY ? If so, it is indeed to me a mystery Where thou acquird'st this branch of know* ledge ; Certes in neither SCHOOL nor COLLEGE ; For I have heard, although thy station Ranks pretty high in Civic honours, Thou ow'st to PARENTS or to DONORS, But little for thy education ! And yet it might have been some recompense^ Had NATURE gifted thee with Common Sense 12 Howe...ver smaliy^-Sir W****** 9 read my motto ! ^et t - tajkeitfaejwdrt^of NATURE still m toto, This axiom I must maintain, SHE NOUGHT CREATES IN VAIN !
