          <ptr target="ukred-19842">"[Pilkington tells how Swift cut out many pages of an edition of Horace and made her paste letters between the covers instead] "I told him, I was extreamly proud to be honoured with his Commands: ""But, Sir, may I presume to make a request to you?"" ""Yes"", says he, ""but Ten to One I shall deny it"". ""I hope not Sir, "tis this; may I have Leave to read the Letters as I go on?"" ""Why, provided you will acknowledge yourself amply rewarded for your Trouble, I don"t much care if I indulge you so far; but are you sure you can read?"" ""I don"t know Sir, I"ll try"". ""Well then begin with this"". It was a letter from Lord [italics] Bolingbroke [end italics], Dated six o"Clock in the Morning; it began with a remark, how differently that Hour appeared to him now, rising cool, serene, and temperate, to contemplate the Beauties of Nature, to what it had done in some former Parts of his Life, when he was either in the midst of Excesses, or returning Home sated with them [Pilkington continues to summarise the "moral philosophy" of the letter and professes herself delighted with all his other letters]
Nor can I be at all surprized that Mr [italics] Pope [end italics] should so often celebrate a Genius who for sublimity of Thought, and elegance of Stile, had few Equals. The rest of the Dean"s Correspondents were, the Lady [italics] Masham [end italics], the Earl of [italics] Oxford [end italics] [a long list of others, ending] Mr [italics] Pope [end italics], Mr [italics] Gay [end italics], Dr [italics] Arbuthnot [end italics]; A Noble and learned Set! So my Readers may judge what a Banquet I had. I cou"d not avoid remarking to the Dean, that notwithstanding the Friendship Mr [italics] Pope [end italics] professed for Mr [italics] Gay [end italics], he cou"d not forbear a great many Satyrical, or if I might be allowed to say so, envious Remarks on the success of the [italics] Beggar"s Opera [end italics] The Dean very frankly own"d, he did not think Mr [italics] Pope [end italics] was so candid to the Merits of other Writers, as he ought to be.
