Let Prior's Muse with softening accents move,
Soft as the strains of constant Emma's love:
Or let his fancy choose some jovial theme,
As when he told Hans Carval's jealous dream;
PRIOR th' admiring reader entertains
With Chaucer's humour, and with Spenser's strains.
PRIOR shall live as long as POPE.
