SEDLEY, a truly worthy Knight,
In whom strong sense quick parts unite,
Whose humour of peculiar cast
Surprizes you from first to last;
Who, tho' few really are more wise,
To look a little foolish tries;
And likes  to discover,
As a fine Lady a new Lover;
To the consounded Put comes near,
Tips him at once a friendly leer,
And thus accosts him: "How now, Squire?
" Why, you've already wrote a Quire;
"Yet still continue to go on:
" What! will your labours ne'er be done?
"'Tis said that you and EGLINTOUN
" Our History are handing down:
"No doubt, 'twill be a Work compleat;
" All former Authors will be beat:
"Out with  — for my share,
" I'll instantly subscribe, I swear. "
