Epigram Addressed to Two Clergymen Who Had Been Trying in Jest to Put Some Constructions on the Conversation That Was Not Meant, An
That schoolmen are subtle the world have agreed
But such bramins as you had nigh shaken the creed
By holding to view a protrait as fair
With minds so enlighten'd with talents so rare
With hearts so humane so candid and kind
So polish'd by Science by wit so refin'd
That proud to retract an error so low
We gave them cart blanche and Judg'd others by you. —
But alass to my Cost Ive felt it with pain —
That some of the leven will ever remain
For really my text you've severely Commented
And all the conclusions your selves have invented
To put a poor novice in terible fright
Because what is wrong she cant prove to be right
But chopping of logic was never my task
And sophists your both what ever the mask
But such bramins as you had nigh shaken the creed
By holding to view a protrait as fair
With minds so enlighten'd with talents so rare
With hearts so humane so candid and kind
So polish'd by Science by wit so refin'd
That proud to retract an error so low
We gave them cart blanche and Judg'd others by you. —
But alass to my Cost Ive felt it with pain —
That some of the leven will ever remain
For really my text you've severely Commented
And all the conclusions your selves have invented
To put a poor novice in terible fright
Because what is wrong she cant prove to be right
But chopping of logic was never my task
And sophists your both what ever the mask
