_Sic ulciscar genera singula, quemadmodum à quibus sum provocatus._ CIC. post Redit. ad Quir. _LONDON_: Printed for J. ROBERTS, near the _Oxford-Arms_ in _Warwick-Lane_. MDCCXLII. Mr. _C--b--r_ to Mr. _P._ Have at you again, Sir. I gave you fair Warning that I would have the last Word; and by ---- (I will not swear in Print) you shall find me no Lyar. I own, I am greatly elate on the Laurels the Town has bestow'd upon me for my Victory over you in my Prose Combat; and, encouraged by that Triumph, I now resolve to fight you on your own Dunghil of Poetry, and with your own jingling Weapons of Rhyme and Metre. I confess I have had some Help; but what then? since the greatest Princes are rather proud than asham'd of Allies and Auxiliaries when they make War in the Field, why should I decline such Assistance when I make War in the Press? And since you thought most unrighteously and unjustly to fall upon me and crush me, only because you imagin'd your Self strong and Me weak, as _France_ fell upon the Queen of _Hungary_; if I like her (_si parva licet componere magnis_) by first striking a bold and desperate Stroke myself with a little Success, have encouraged such a Friend to me, as _England_ has been to her, to espouse my Cause, and turn all the Weight of the War upon you, till you wish you had never begun it; with what reasonable and equitable Pleasure may I not pursue my Blow till I make you repent, by laying you on your Back, the ungrateful Returns you have made me for saving you from Destruction when you laid yourself on your Belly. I am, Sir, not your humble, but your devoted Servant; for I will follow you as long as I live; and as _Terence_ says in the _Eunuch_, _Ego pol te pro istis dictis & factis, scelus, ulciscar, ut ne impune in nos illus eris_. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN Verbal and Practical VIRTUE EXEMPLIFY'D, In some Eminent Instances both Ancient and Modern. What awkard Judgments must they make of Men, Who think their Hearts are pictur'd by their Pen; That _this_ observes the Rules which _that_ approves, And what one praises, that the other loves. Few Authors tread the Paths they recommend, Or when they shew the Road, pursue the End: Few give Examples, whilst they give Advice, Or tho' they scourge the vicious, shun the Vice; But lash the Times as Swimmers do the Tide, And kick and cuff the Stream on which they ride.
