To you, the Tyrant Criticks of the Age, To you, who make such Havock on the Stage; Assault with Fury every coming Scene, Like Heroes arm'd at Ramillies, or Turin. Whilst vanquish'd Wit, shrunk from her native Glory, Like the cow'd Gaul, too weakly stands before ye. Since then the Poets play this Losing-game, I, a poor Suppliant in the Muses Name, Beg to avert our trembling Author's Fate; And, like the sad Bavarian Advocate, Resistance vain, we to your Mercy fly, And court you now to lay your Thunder by. Of slaughter'd Wits let the Effusion cease, We, like the humble Lewis, sue for Peace.
