poem. I fhould judge that they were clapp'd in as they rofe, trefh and fresh, and chang'd from day to day; in like manner as when the old boughs wither, we thruft new ones into a chimney.

I would not have the reader too much troubled or anxious, if he cannot decypher them; fince when he fhall have found them out, he will probably know no more of the perfons than before.

Yet we judg'd it better to preferve them as they are, than to change them for fictitious names; by which the fatire would' only be multiplied, and applied to many inftead of one. Had the hero, for inftance, been called Codrus, how many would have affirm'd him to have been Mr. T. Mr. E. Sir R. B. &c. but now all that unjuft fcandal is faved by calling him by a name, which by good luck happens to be that of a real perfon.
