________________________________________________
Title:     Epigram By Mr. Bowyer Intended To Be Placed Under The Head Of Gulliver
Author: Jonathan Swift [More Titles by Swift]

1733


"Here learn from moral truth and wit refined,
How vice and folly have debased mankind;
Strong sense and humour arm in virtue's cause;
Thus her great votary vindicates her laws:
While bold and free the glowing colours strike;
Blame not the picture, if the picture's like."
