Chapter 73 EPILOGUE TO ALL FOR LOVE.

Poets, like disputants, when reasons fail,

Have one sure refuge left-and that's to rail.

Fop, coxcomb, fool, are thunder'd through the pit;

And this is all their equipage of wit.

We wonder how the devil this difference grows,

Betwixt our fools in verse, and yours in prose:

For, 'faith, the quarrel rightly understood,

'Tis civil
