THE
Author
might
here
(
according
to
the
laudible
custom
of
Prefaces
)
entertain
the
Reader
with
a
Discourse
of
the
Original
,
Progress
,
and
Rules
of
and
let
him
understand
,
that
he
has
lately
Read
and
several
other
Criticks
upon
the
Point
;
but
at
present
he
is
minded
to
wave
it
,
as
a
vanity
he
is
in
no
wise
fond
of
.
His
only
intent
now
is
to
give
a
brief
account
of
what
he
Publishes
,
in
order
to
prevent
what
Censures
he
foresees
may
coulourably
be
past
thereupon
:
And
that
is
,
as
followeth
:
What
he
calls
the
is
in
imitation
of
who
has
prefix'd
somewhat
by
that
Name
before
his
Book
of
Satyrs
,
and
may
serve
for
a
pretty
good
Authority
.
The
first
Satyr
he
drew
by
in
the
great
which
may
be
perceived
by
some
strokes
and
touches
therein
,
however
short
they
come
of
the
Original
.
In
the
second
,
he
only
followed
the
swinge
of
his
own
〈◊〉
.
The
Design
,
and
some
Passages
of
the
Which
ingenious
confession
he
thinks
fit
to
make
,
to
shew
he
has
more
modesty
than
the
common
Padders
in
Wit
of
these
times
.
He
doubts
,
there
may
be
some
few
mistakes
in
Chronology
therein
,
which
for
want
of
Books
he
could
●…ot
inform
himself
in
.
If
the
skilful
Reader
meet
with
any
such
,
he
may
the
more
easily
pardon
them
upon
that
score
.
Whence
he
had
the
hint
of
the
fourth
,
is
obvious
to
all
,
that
are
any
thing
acquainted
with
And
without
the
Authority
of
so
great
a
President
,
the
making
of
an
Image
speak
,
is
but
an
ordinary
Miracle
in
Poetry
.
He
expects
,
that
some
will
tax
him
of
Buffoonery
,
and
turning
holy
things
into
ridicule
.
But
le●…
them
Read
,
how
severely
and
the
gravest
have
railly'd
the
fopperies
and
superstitions
of
the
Heathen
,
and
then
consider
whether
those
,
which
he
has
chosen
for
his
Argument
,
are
not
as
worthy
of
laughter
.
The
only
difference
is
that
they
did
it
in
Prose
,
as
he
does
in
Verse
,
where
perhaps
't
is
the
more
allowable
.
As
for
the
next
Poem
(
which
is
the
most
liable
to
censure
)
tho
the
world
has
given
it
the
Name
of
the
he
declares
't
was
never
design'd
to
that
intent
,
how
apt
soever
some
may
be
to
wrest
it
.
And
this
appears
by
what
is
said
after
it
,
and
is
discernable
enough
to
all
,
that
have
the
sense
to
understand
it
,
'T
was
meant
to
abuse
those
,
who
valued
themselves
upon
their
Wit
and
Parts
,
in
praising
Vice
,
and
to
shew
,
that
others
of
sober
Principles
,
if
they
would
take
the
same
liberty
in
Poetry
,
could
strain
as
high
rants
in
Profaneness
as
they
.
At
first
he
intended
it
not
for
the
publick
,
nor
to
pass
beyond
the
privacy
of
two
or
three
Friends
,
but
seeing
it
had
the
Fate
to
steal
abroad
in
Manuscript
,
and
afterwards
in
Print
,
without
his
knowledg
,
he
now
thinks
it
a
Justice
due
to
his
own
Reputation
,
to
have
it
come
forth
without
those
faults
,
which
it
has
suffered
from
Transcribers
and
the
Press
hitherto
,
and
which
make
it
a
worse
Satyr
upon
himself
,
than
upon
what
it
was
design'd
.
Something
should
be
said
too
of
the
last
Trifle
,
if
it
were
worth
it
.
'T
was
occasioned
upon
reading
the
late
Translations
of
which
gave
him
a
mind
to
try
what
he
could
do
upon
a
like
Subject
.
Those
being
already
forestall'd
,
he
thought
fit
to
make
choice
of
the
same
Poet
,
whereon
perhaps
he
has
taken
too
much
liberty
.
Had
he
seen
Mr.
his
Translation
before
he
began
,
he
never
durst
have
ventured
:
Since
he
has
,
and
finds
reason
enough
to
despair
of
his
undertaking
.
But
now
't
is
done
,
he
is
loth
to
burn
it
,
and
chuses
rather
to
give
somebody
else
the
trouble
.
The
Reader
may
do
as
he
pleases
,
either
like
it
,
or
put
it
to
the
use
of
Mr.
's
Works
.
'T
is
the
first
attempt
,
he
ever
made
in
this
kind
,
and
likely
enough
to
be
the
last
,
his
vein
(
if
he
may
be
thought
to
have
any
)
lying
another
way
.

M.
C.
Jo.
Hindmarsh
BEing
to
appear
anew
in
the
World
,
it
may
be
expected
,
that
I
should
say
something
concerning
these
ensuing
Trisies
,
which
I
shall
endeavour
to
do
with
as
much
briefness
,
as
I
did
before
what
I
last
published
in
this
kind
.
I
doubt
not
but
the
Reader
will
think
me
guilty
of
an
high
presumption
in
adventuring
upon
a
Translation
of
after
two
such
great
Hands
as
have
gone
before
me
in
the
same
attempts
:
I
need
not
acquaint
him
,
that
I
mean
and
the
Earl
of
the
one
being
of
so
establish'd
an
Authority
,
that
whatever
he
did
is
held
as
Sacred
,
the
other
having
lately
performed
it
with
such
admirable
success
,
as
almost
cuts
off
all
hope
in
any
after
Pretenders
of
ever
coming
up
to
what
he
has
eone
.
Howbeit
,
when
I
let
him
kn●…w
,
that
it
was
a
Task
imposed
upon
me
,
and
not
what
I
voluntarily
engaged
in
;
I
hope
he
will
be
the
more
favourable
in
his
Censures
.
I
would
indeed
very
willingly
have
wav'd
the
undertaking
upon
the
forementioned
account
,
and
urged
it
as
a
reason
for
my
declining
the
same
,
but
it
would
not
be
allowed
as
sufficient
to
excuse
me
therefrom
.
Wherefore
,
being
prevailed
upon
to
make
an
Essay
.
I
fell
to
thinking
of
some
course
,
whereby
I
might
serve
my self
of
the
Advantages
,
which
those
that
went
before
me
,
have
either
not
minded
,
or
scrupulously
abridged
themselves
of
.
This
I
soon
imagined
was
to
be
effected
by
putting
into
a
more
modern
dress
,
than
hitherto
he
has
appeared
in
,
that
is
by
making
him
speak
,
as
if
he
were
living
,
and
writing
now
.
I
therefore
resolved
to
alter
the
Scene
from
and
to
make
use
of
names
of
Men
,
Places
,
and
Customs
,
where
the
Parallel
would
decently
permit
,
which
I
conceived
would
give
a
kind
of
new
Air
to
the
Poem
,
and
render
it
more
agreeable
to
the
rellish
of
the
present
Age.
With
these
Considerations
I
set
upon
the
Work
,
and
pursued
it
accordingly
.
I
have
not
,
I
acknowledg
,
been
ever-nice
in
keeping
to
the
words
of
the
Original
,
for
that
were
to
transgress
a
Rule
therein
contained
.
Nevertheless
I
have
been
religiously
strict
to
its
sense
,
and
express'd
it
in
as
plain
,
and
intelligible
a
manner
,
as
the
Subject
would
bear
.
Where
I
may
be
thought
to
have
varied
from
it
(
which
is
not
above
once
or
twi●…e
,
and
in
Passages
not
much
material
)
the
skilful
Reader
will
perceive
't
was
necessary
for
carrying
on
my
proposed
design
,
and
the
Author
himself
,
were
he
again
alive
,
would
(
I
believe
)
forgive
me
.
I
have
been
careful
to
avoid
stiffness
,
and
made
it
my
endeavour
to
hit
(
as
near
as
I
could
)
the
easie
and
familiar
way
of
writing
,
which
is
peculiar
to
in
his
Epistles
,
and
was
his
proper
Talent
above
any
of
mankind
.
After
all
,
't
is
humbly
submitted
to
the
judgment
of
the
truly
knowing
,
how
I
have
acquitted
my self
herein
.
Let
the
success
be
what
it
will
,
I
shall
not
however
wholly
repent
of
my
undertaking
,
being
(
I
reckon
)
in
some
measure
recompenced
for
my
pains
by
the
advantage
I
have
reaped
of
fixing
these
admirable
Rules
of
Sense
so
well
in
my
memory
.
of
the
Author
,
which
follow
next
in
order
,
I
have
translated
after
the
same
libertine
way
.
In
them
also
I
labour'd
under
the
disadvantages
of
coming
after
other
persons
.
The
had
been
made
into
a
Scene
by
in
a
Play
of
his
,
called
the
After
I
had
finished
my
imitation
thereof
,
I
came
to
learn
,
that
it
had
been
done
likewise
by
Dr.
and
since
I
have
had
the
sight
of
it
amongst
the
Printed
Translations
of
's
Works
.
The
are
there
done
too
,
but
not
so
excellently
well
,
as
,
to
discourage
any
farther
endeavours
.
If
these
of
mine
meet
with
good
entertainment
in
the
world
,
I
may
perhaps
find
leisure
to
attempt
some
other
of
them
,
which
at
present
suffer
as
much
from
their
Translaters
,
as
the
Psalms
of
The
two
sacred
I
designed
not
to
have
made
publick
now
,
forasmuch
as
they
might
seem
unfit
to
appear
among
Subjects
of
this
nature
,
and
were
intended
to
come
forth
apart
hereafter
in
company
of
others
of
their
own
kind
.
But
,
having
suffer'd
Copies
of
them
to
straggle
abroad
in
Manuscript
,
and
remembring
the
Fate
of
some
other
Pieces
of
mine
,
which
have
formerly
stoln
into
the
Press
without
my
leave
,
or
knowledg
,
and
be
exposed
to
the
world
abominably
false
and
uncorrect
;
to
prevent
the
same
misfortune
likely
en●…ugh
to
befal
these
,
I
have
been
persuaded
to
yield
my
consent
to
their
Publishing
amongst
the
rest
.
Nor
is
the
Printing
of
such
Miscellanies
altogether
so
unpresidented
,
but
that
it
may
be
seen
in
the
Editions
of
Dr.
and
Mr.
's
Works
,
whether
done
by
their
own
appointment
,
or
the
sole
direction
of
the
Stationers
,
I
am
not
able
to
determine
.
As
for
the
two
Essays
out
of
they
were
occasioned
by
a
report
,
that
some
persons
found
fault
with
the
roughness
of
my
Satyrs
formerly
published
,
tho
,
upon
what
ground
they
should
do
it
,
I
could
be
glad
to
be
informed
.
Unless
I
am
mistaken
,
there
are
not
many
Lines
but
will
endure
the
reading
without
shocking
any
Hearer
,
that
is
not
too
nice
,
and
censorious
.
I
confess
,
I
did
not
so
much
mind
the
Cadence
,
as
the
Sense
and
expressiveness
of
my
words
,
and
therefore
chose
not
those
,
which
were
best
disposed
to
placing
themselves
in
Rhyme
,
but
rather
the
most
keen
,
and
tuant
,
as
being
the
most
sutable
to
my
Argument
.
And
certainly
no
one
that
pretends
to
distinguish
the
several
Colours
of
Poetry
,
would
expect
that
when
he
is
lashing
of
Vice
and
Villany
,
should
flow
so
smoothly
,
as
when
they
are
describing
Amours
and
Gallantries
,
and
have
nothing
to
disturb
and
ruffle
the
evenness
of
their
Stile
.
Howbeit
,
to
shew
that
the
way
I
took
,
was
out
of
choice
,
not
want
of
judgment
,
and
that
my
Genius
is
not
wholly
uncapa●…e
of
performing
upon
more
gay
and
agreeable
Subjects
,
if
my
humour
inclined
me
to
exercise
it
,
I
have
pitch'd
upon
these
two
,
which
the
greatestmen
of
sense
have
allowed
to
be
some
of
the
softest
and
tenderest
of
all
Antiquity
.
Nay
,
if
we
will
believe
one
of
the
best
Criticks
which
these
latter
Ages
have
produced
;
they
have
no
other
fault
,
than
that
they
are
too
exquisitely
delicate
for
the
Character
of
Pastoral
,
which
should
not
seem
too
laboured
,
and
w●…ose
chief
beauty
is
an
unaffected
air
of
plainness
and
simplicity
.
That
,
which
laments
the
Death
of
has
been
attempted
in
by
several
great
Masters
,
namely
,
The
last
of
them
has
done
it
Paraphrastically
,
but
left
good
part
of
the
Poem
toward
the
latter
end
untouch'd
,
perhaps
because
he
thought
it
not
so
capable
of
Ornament
,
as
the
rest
.
Him
I
chiefly
chose
to
follow
,
as
being
most
agreeable
to
my
way
of
translating
,
and
where
I
was
at
a
loss
for
want
of
his
guidance
,
I
was
content
to
steer
by
my
own
Fancy
.
The
Translation
of
that
upon
was
begun
by
another
Hand
,
as
far
as
the
first
fifteen
Verses
,
but
who
was
the
Author
I
could
never
yet
learn
.
I
have
been
told
that
they
were
done
by
the
Earl
of
but
I
could
not
well
believe
it
,
both
because
he
seldom
medled
with
such
Subjects
,
and
more
especially
by
reason
of
an
uncorrect
line
,
or
two
to
be
found
amongst
them
,
at
their
first
coming
to
my
hands
,
which
never
us'd
to
flow
from
his
excellent
Pen.
Conceiving
it
to
be
in
the
Original
,
a
piece
of
as
much
Art
,
Grace
,
and
Tenderness
,
as
perhaps
was
ever
offered
to
the
Ashes
of
a
Poet
,
I
thought
fit
to
dedicate
it
to
the
memory
of
that
incomparable
Person
,
of
whom
nothing
can
be
said
,
or
thought
so
choice
and
curious
,
which
his
Deserts
do
not
surmount
.
If
it
be
thought
mean
to
have
borrowed
the
sense
of
another
to
praise
him
in
,
yet
at
least
it
argues
at
the
same
time
a
value
and
reverence
,
that
I
durst
not
think
any
thing
of
my
own
good
enough
for
his
Commendation
.
This
is
all
,
which
I
judg
material
to
be
said
of
these
following
Resveries
.
As
for
what
others
are
to
be
found
in
the
parcel
,
I
reckon
them
not
worth
mentioning
in
particular
,
but
leave
them
wholly
open
and
unguarded
to
the
mercy

Jo.
Hindmarsh
THe
Author
of
these
following
Poems
being
dead
,
the
Publisher
thought
fit
to
acquaint
the
World
,
that
the
reason
why
he
exposed
them
now
in
Print

that

but
for
securing
the
reputation
of
Mr.
which
might
otherwise
have
suffered
from
worse
hands
,
and
out
of
a
desire
he
has
to
print
the
last
Remains
of
his
friend
since
he
had
the
good
fortune
to
publish
his
first
Pieces
.
He
confesses
that
it
is
the
greatest
piece
of
injustice
to
publish
the
posthumous
Works
of
Authors
,
especially
such
,
that
we
may
suppose
they
had
brought
to
the
file
and
sent
out
with
more
advantages
into
the
World
,
had
they
not
been
prevented
by
untimely
death
;
and
therefore
assures
you
he
had
never
presumed
to
print
these
following
Miscellanies
,
had
they
not
already
been
countenanced
by
men
of
unquestionable
repute
and
esteem
.
He
is
not
of
the
same
perswasion
with
several
others
of
his
own
profession
,
that
never
care
how
much
they
lessen
the
reputation
of
the
Poet
,
if
they
can
but
inhance
the
value
of
the
Book
;
that
ransackt
he
Studies
of
the
deceased
,
and
print
all
that
passed
under
the
Author's
hands
,
from
Fifteen
to
Forty
,
and
upwards
:
and
(
as
the
incomparable
Mr.
has
exprest
it
)
think
a
rude
heap
of
ill
placed
Stones
a
better
Monument
than
a
neat
Tomb
of
Marble
.

the
Description
of

Country
P
—
(
the
only
part
in
this
Book
that
he
judges
liable
to
exception
)
he
makes
you
no
Apology
at
all
;
For
to
men
of
candor
and
judgment
any
thing
that
comes
from
Mr.
will
certainly
be
acceptable
;
to
others
that
are
resolved
to
damn
at
first
sight
he
thinks
a
defence
of
this
nature
signifies
no
more
than
a
Plantiffs
perswasions
to
a
hungry
Judg
after
twelve
.
However
he
is
very
confident
that
the
rest
of
Mr.
pieces
will
abundantly
atone
for
one
unfinished
draught
,
and
that
no
man
of
sense
and
reason
will
quarel
at
one
bad
half
Crown
,
in
a
good
,
round
,
substantial
lump
of
Money
.
LOrd
,
how
dreadful
is
the
Prospect
of
Death
at
the
remotest
Distance
!
How
the
smallest
Apprehension
of
it
can
pall
the
most
gay
,
airy
and
brisk
Spirits
!
Even
I
,
who
thought
I
could
have
been
merry
in
sight
of
my
Coffin
,
and
drink
a
Health
with
the
in
my
own
Grave
,
now
tremble
at
the
least
Envoy
of
the
King
of
Terrors
.
To
see
but
the
shaking
of
my
Glass
makes
me
turn
pale
,
and
fear
is
like
to
prevent
and
do
the
Work
of
my
Distemper
.
All
the
Jollity
of
my
Humor
and
Conversation
is
turn'd
on
a
suddain
into
shagrin
and
melancholy
,
black
as
Despair
,
and
dark
as
the
Grave
.
My
Soul
and
Body
seem
at
once
laid
out
,
and
I
fancy
all
the
Plummets
of
Eternal
Night
already
hanging
upon
my
Temples
.
But
whence
proceed
these
Fears
?
Certainly
they
are
not
idle
Dreams
,
nor
the
accidental
Product
of
my
Disease
,
which
disorders
the
Brains
,
and
fills
'em
with
odd
Why
should
my
Soul
be
averse
to
its
Enlargement
?
Why
should
it
be
content
to
be
knit
up
in
two
Yards
of
Skin
,
when
it
may
have
all
the
World
for
its
Purliew
?
'T
is
not
that
I
'm
unwilling
to
leave
my
Relations
and
present
Friends
:
I
'm
parted
from
the
first
already
,
and
could
be
sever'd
from
both
the
length
of
the
whole
Map
,
and
live
with
my
Body
as
far
distant
from
them
as
my
Soul
must
when
I
'm
dead
.
Neither
is
it
that
I
'm
loth
to
leave
the
Delights
and
Pleasures
of
the
World
;
some
of
them
I
have
tried
,
and
found
empty
,
the
others
covet
not
,
because
unknown
.
I
'm
confident
I
could
despise
'em
all
by
a
Greatness
of
did
not
the
Bible
oblige
me
,
and
Divines
tell
me
,
't
is
my
Duty
.
It
is
not
neither
that
I
'm
unwilling
to
go
hence
before
I
've
establish'd
a
Reputation
,
and
something
to
make
me
survive
my self
.
I
could
have
been
content
to
be
Still-born
,
and
have
no
more
than
the
to
tell
that
I
've
ever
been
in
the
Land
of
the
Living
.
't
is
not
from
a
Principle
of
Cowardise
,
which
the
Schools
have
called
the
poor
Effect
of
Instinct
and
dull
pretence
of
a
Brute
as
well
as
me
.
This
Unwillingness
therefore
,
and
Aversion
to
undergo
the
general
Fate
,
must
have
a
juster
and
flow
from
a
more
important
Cause
.
I
'm
well
satisfied
that
this
other
Being
within
,
that
moves
and
actuates
my
Frame
of
Flesh
and
Blood
,
has
a
beyond
it
and
the
and
something
in
it
prompts
me
to
believe
its
immortality
.
A
it
must
have
somewhere
else
,
when
it
has
left
this
and
another
to
pass
into
,
unchangeable
and
everlasting

after
its
This
Condition
must
be
good
or
bad
according
to
its
in
this
Life
;
for
as
it
ows
its
to
some
that
created
it
,
I
well
suppose
it
his
and
oblig'd
to
live
by
his
and
as
certainly
conclude
,
that
according
to
the
keeping
or
breaking

is
to
be
