of the tardy Waggon – allow me however to introduce them to you by a few Post-Rhymes, which started up as I was whirled along my last stage this morning -
Since Poets; while placed under Natures controul [sic]
want Food for the Stomach, as well as the soul,
of Each I present you a little supply –
a small Volume to read – a few oysters to fry –
& O! while she bends oer the warm smoaking [sic] shell
May Julia's kind Thoughts on that Visitant dwell,
who wishes (tho torn from her Table in Haste)
To be dear to her Heart as the Fish to her Taste!
Nor let her suppose (tho He call'd her a Witch)
That He blames her keen Gusto for Viands so rich,
No! let Earth Air & Water their dainties confer,
all their dainties are due, as a Tribute, to Her,
whose Fancy supplies, to the Universe kind,
The most exquisite Feast to each delicate Mind –
