History & Politics
On Deputy ----
From Complete Poetical Works, ed. E. H. Coleridge (1912)
History & Politics
By many a booby's vengeance bit
I leave your haunts, ye sons of wit!
And swear, by Heaven's blessed light,
That Epigrams no more I'll write.
Now hang that ***** for an ass,
Thus to thrust in his idiot face,
Which spite of oaths, if e'er I spy,
I'll write an Epigram--or die.
LABERIUS.
