On Some Lines of Lopez de Vega. Dr. Johnson

If the man who turnips cries,
Cry not when his father dies,
’Tis a proof that he had rather
Have a turnip than his father.

ON A FULL-LENGTH PORTRAIT OF BEAU MARSH.
Placed between the busts of Newton and Pope.
LORD CHESTERFIELD

“Immortal Newton never spoke
More truth than here you’ll find;
Nor Pope himself e’er penn’d a joke
More cruel on mankind.

“The picture placed the busts between,
Gives satire all its strength;
Wisdom and Wit are little seen—
But Folly at full length.”
