gether in any book of Homer with justice to the Poet, and yet he dares reproach his fellow-writers with not understanding Greek. He has ftuck fo little to his Original as to have his knowledge in Greek call'd in question. I should be glad to know which it is of all Homer's Excellencies which has fo delighted the Ladies, and the Gentlemen who judge like Ladies *. But he has a notable talent at Burlesque; his genius slides so naturally into it, that he hath burlesqued Homer without defigning it'.

Mr. POPE trick'd his Subscribers.

'Tis indeed fomewhat bold, and almoft prodigious, for a fingle man to undertake fuch a work: But 'tis too late to difsuade by demonstrating the madness of the Project. The Subfcribers expectations have been rais'd in proportion to what their Pockets have been drain'd of. Pope has been concern'd in Jobs, and hired out his Name to Bookfellers "

Names beftow'd on Mr. POPE.

An APE.] Let us take the initial letter of his Christian name, and the initial and final letters of his furname, viz. A PE, and they give you the fame Idea of an Ape as his Face *, &c.

An Ass.] It is my duty to pull off the Lion's skin from this

little Afs".

A FROG.] A fquab fhort Gentleman—a little creature that, like the Frog in the Fable, fwells, and is angry that it is not allow'd to be as big as an Ox2.

A COWARD] A lurking way-laying coward 2.

A KNAVE.] He is one whom God and nature have mark'd for want of common honesty".

A FOOL.] Great Fools will be chriften'd by the names of great Poets, and Pope will be call'd Homer.
