- Epigraph:
- [i]We Publishers the Town's[/i] FALSE TASTE [i]must hit: | The Book is damn'd that's wrote with Sterling Wit. | The learned Bard his Reader sore perplexes: | The[/i] LUSCIOUS POET [i]pleases both the Sexes: Dull Sermons are mere Drugs, laid by for Waste, While such a Work as This suits[/i] EV'RY TASTE. [i]Each Charming Page attracts a Thousand Eyes, And, as they gaze, their Inclinations rise, And he who reads[/i] ONE PAGE [i]--- most surely buys.[/i]
