Tixall Poetry.
Ah! too reserv'd, too good, too sweet, too fayre,
Tafflict your selfe, and make all else dispaire.



On the World.


This world into a just contempt must fall,
Where reason rules, or where men think at all.
'Tis nothing but stupidity can prize,
Its airy hopes, and glittering vanitys.
These may surprise a man of sense, 'tis true,
But they can never stand a second view.
