Epigrams by Thomas Sheridan. On a Caricature
If you say this was made for friend Dan, you belie it, I’ll swear he’s so like it that he was made by it.
On Dean Swift’s Proposed Hospital for Lunatics

TO A DUBLIN PUBLISHER.
Who displayed a bust of Dean Swift in his window, while publishing
Lord Orrery’s offensive remarks upon the Dean.

By representing Swift transformed to stone;
For could he thy ingratitude have known,
Astonishment itself the work had done!
