Doctor Dalwaney

Some say the Doctor fattens in his place, And some declare 'twill load him with disgrace, Some say 'twas wrong to loose his member's name, But where's the man that would not do the same? Men when they take an office in their hands, Should place themselves in firm well footed stands, Or else the sidelong waggish bullets thrown, Will often knock the heedless caitiff down. When state accounts are furnish'd, have a care That Irish blunders are not notic'd there.

Enjoy the profits which preferment brings, Tho' satire's bullets round thy office rings; Laugh at the fools and act an upright part, Then malice ne'er shall give thee conscious smart.
