"What strutting _Bantam_, weak but proud,
E'er held his head so high as
This pigmy idol of the crowd,
The prancing pert ----.

"[Greek: Touto to biblion], he'll swear,
Is [Greek: plaeron taes sophias],
But men of sense and taste declare

"Oh! were this scribbler, for a time,
Struck dumb like _Zacharias_,
Who could regret the spiteful rhyme
Of little black ----.

"Small was his stature who in fight
O'erthrew the great _Darius_
But small in genius as in height
Is little black ----.

And salary that _Pye_ has,
Would it not cheer thy visage black,

Remember how _he_ went to pot,
As thou may'st, friend ----.
