A Pindaricque; On the Grunting of a Hog by Samuel Wesley

chosen by Peter

Freeborn Pindaric never does refuse,

Either a lofty, or a humble Muse:

Now in proud Sophaclean Buskins Sings,

Of Hero's, and of Kings,

Mighty Numbers, mighty Things;

Now out of fight the flys,

Rowing with gaudy Wings,

A­cross the stormy Skys,

Then down again,

Her self she Flings,

Without uneasiness, or Pain

To Lice, and Dogs,

To Cows, and Hogs,

And follows their melodious grunting o're the Plain.
