I then ventur"d to ask the Dean, whether he thought the Lines Mr [italics] Pope [end italics] addresses him with, in the Beginning of the [italics] Dunciad [end italics], were any Compliment to him? [italics] viz

O Thou! whatever Title please thine Ear. [end italics]

"I believe", says he, they were meant as such, but they are very stiff"; - "Indeed, Sir, said I, "he is so perfectly a Master of harmonious Numbers, that had his Heart been in the least affected with his Subject, he must have writ better; How cold, how forc"d, are his Lines to you, compared with yours to him."

[italics] Hail happy [end italics] Pope [italics] whose generous Mind. [end italics]
