Carthy Knocked Out Some Teeth from His News-Boy

On Carthy's Translation of Longinus

High as Longinus to the stars ascends,
So deeply Carthy to the centre tends.

Ratio Inter Longinum Et Carthium Computata

Aethereas quantum Longinus surgit in auras,
Carthius en tantum ad Tartara tendit iter.

On the Same

What Midas touch'd became true gold, but then,
Gold becomes lead touch'd lightly by thy pen.

For saying he could not live by the profits of Carthy's works, as
they did not sell.

I must confess that I was somewhat warm,
I broke his teeth, but where's the mighty harm?
My work he said could ne'er afford him meat,
And teeth are useless where there's nought to eat!

TO CARTHY
On his sending about specimens to force people to subscribe to his
Longinus.

Thus vagrant beggars, to extort
By charity a mean support,
Their sores and putrid ulcers show,
And shock our sense till we bestow.
