Epigram on Delacourt's Complimenting Carthy
Social Commentaries
On one Delacourt's complimenting Carthy on his Poetry
Carthy, you say, writes well--his genius true,
You pawn your word for him--he'll vouch for you.
So two poor knaves, who find their credit fail,
To cheat the world, become each other's bail.
