EPIGRAM ON MR. M--RE'S GOING TO LAW WITH MR. GILLIVER, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Once in his life m--re judges right
Last Line: Who's but a publisher himself.
Subject(s): Smyth, James Moore


Once in his Life M--RE judges right:
His Sword and Pen not worth a Straw,
An Author that cou'd never write,
A Gentleman that dares not fight,
Has but one way to teaze -- by Law.

This suit dear TIBBALD kindly hatch;
Thus thou may'st help the sneaking Elf:
And sure a Printer is his Match,
Who's but a Publisher himself.
