Of Quantity Which Depends upon the Authority of the Poets
Another kind of Quantity
There is, we call Authority;
In first and middle syllables,
This liberty of poets dwells;
Where we may find A, E, I, O
Short commonly, but U's not so:
For U much oft'ner long we find,
Because by nature so inclined.
All that do not with this agree,
Comprised in burlesque you shall see.
