第 137 頁 - Oft she rejects, but never once offends. Bright as the sun, her eyes the gazers strike, And, like the sun, they shine on all alike. Yet graceful ease, and sweetness void of pride, Might hide her faults, if belles had faults to hide: If to her share some female errors fall, Look on her face, and you'll forget them all.
第 7 頁 - If the whole may be estimated by this specimen, which seems to be the production of Arbuthnot with a few touches perhaps by Pope, the want of more will not be much lamented; for the follies which the writer ridicules are so little practiced that they are not known; nor can the satire be understood but by the learned.

第 20 頁 - I have undertaken this arduous but necessary task, to lead them as it were by the hand, and step by step, the gentle down-hill way to the Bathos ; the bottom, the end, the central point, the non plus ultra, of true Modern Poesy...
第 80 頁 - To make an Episode. — Take any remaining adventure of your former collection, in which you could no way involve your hero; or any unfortunate accident that was too good to be thrown away; and it will be of use applied to any other person, who may be lost and evaporate in the course of the work, without the least damage to the composition.
第 130 頁 - And now (as oft in some distemper'd state) On one nice trick depends the gen'ral fate. An Ace of Hearts steps forth : the King unseen Lurk'd in her hand, and mourn'd his captive Queen : He springs to vengeance with an eager pace, And falls like thunder on the prostrate ace.
