Nicholas Amhurst

1697-1742 / England

On Scriblers.

IF He's an Author who to Paper
Sets Pen, and squeezes out some Sense;
Then He who just can cut a Caper,
A Dancing--Master may commence.
But none can by so small a Claim,
B' intitled to so great a Name;
For Men, who can't speak Sense, can Scribble,
As Children, who can't Spit, can Dribble.
