Would not Mr Pope, that bright Genius & that supreme Poet, more happily entertain & improve Mankind, could he be persuaded to turn his pen to such sort of Lyric Odes, than by all his satyrick imitations of Horace?

Has not ye Epistle to a young Nobleman from his Preceptor at least four times the Beauties in it that any of those late Imitations can boast of?
