To Doctor Delany

ON HIS BOOK ENTITLED "OBSERVATIONS ON LORD ORRERY'S REMARKS"

Delany, to escape your friend the Dean, And prove all false that Orrery had writ, You kindly own his Gulliver profane, Yet make his puns and riddles sterling wit.

But if for wrongs to Swift you would atone, And please the world, one way you may succeed, Collect Boyle's writings and your own, And serve them as you served THE DEED.
