Upon the ERRATA'S.

Reader, think no Wonder by it,
If with Town I've Town supplied;
If my Metres backward Nature,
Set Before what should be later:
"As for instance is exprest there,
Harrington after Godmanchester.
What tho' Breves too be made Longo's?
What tho' Vowels be Diphthongo's?
What tho' Graves become Acute too?
What tho' Accents become mute too?
What tho' fully, freely, plainly
I've broke Priscian's Forehead mainly?
What tho' Seat with Seat I've strained?
What tho' my limp Verse be maimed?
What tho' Night I've ta'en for Day too?
What tho' I've made Briers my Way too?
Know ye, I've declin'd most bravely,
'Titubo-titubas-titubavi.
