Sent by Mr Titlet ; to Doctor Bentley , He that would great in science grow , By whom bright Virtue is ador d , At first must be content to know An humble roof , a . homely board . With want and rigid college laws Let him , inur'd betimes , comply ; Firm to religion ' s sacred cause , The learned combat let him

Doctor Benlley * $ f epl ^ . Who strives to mount ParuassuV hiU , And thence poetic laurels brine , , Mu ^ t fi rst acquire due force and sfcll > Must fly with swan ' s or eagTcVwftMj
Who nature ^ s treasures would explore ., IJer mysteries and arcana know , Must high as lofty Nekton soar , Must stoop as delving- WoodwaxdL low .
Who studies ancient laws anrt rites , Tongues , arts and arms ai ^ d histoi jr , Must drudge like Seiden , day « ac 4 l nights , And m the endless labojcw die .
Who travels in rd ^ iotis j ^ rs , ' Truth mixt with crror sltadt Wttk rays , Like Whist on wanting pyx or $ ttrs , In ocean wide , or sinks or strays .
But grant pur hero ' s hope , long toil And comprehensive genius cromn ., All sciences , all arts his &pou \ Vet what reward , or whac renown ?
