"But you who seek to give and merit Fame,
"And juftly bear a Critic's noble name—

-

"Be niggards of advice on no pretence,

"For the worst avarice is that of Sense.

"With mean complacence ne'er betray your trust,

"Nor be fo civil as to prove unjuft.

"Fear not the anger of the Wife to raife;

"Those best can bear reproof, who merit praife POFE.
