To prove the ju&ticfc of thU serious
chargOttauttt the potts* he produces
numberless examples from Ovid to Littlt,
and l# fW?m Stephen Duck, down to Thfr
mas Dermody and WtWrts up the first
part of Ms work #?th the foflowin* spirit
eg passage, which ll would be barbarous
to abridge, and unpardonable to om it. " I
will close this division of my Work, with
one or two remarks upon Ovid ; and first,
where he recommends learning and the
sciences to his popi's* I quote koin rr.c
mory, but I believe his words arc :
aijrf stttnet* ycur Urartd im/trtrvcf
?* Q/ high imfity t are language# in love.*'
And goes on to exhort the " noble youth oC
Rome/* to be cloqueht ; telling them that
eloquence prevails at the bar, and in the
f senate^ but no where more than in love ?
ami then relate* a long story about Ulys
ses, who though nrrVAer /air nor yottruf, cn_
chanted Calypso, by his softly pervasive
eloquence*? so that ahe hung with rapture
on hs%?*tccots, and desired htm to retate
again and again, the story of Troy's fall.

tfiat I know or care ; for she Was not a
woman, ftut a goddess ; and t do not
teach the art of making love to goddesses,
