Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hypocrisy Unveiled, and Calumny Detected: In a Review of Blackwood's Magazine
Ricketty b'oys, whose green and tender age, Would fain assume the priv'lege of the sage, And cram into the ears 0' th' unwilling town The filth which folly trickles through their own; True puny creatures, who mistake for wit The ven'mous ?ow that's most averse from it; And think, because they wield a slipp'ry pen, That God has meant them to be wond'rous men But though they strive to seize upon a niche, Their works are pustules, - their disease an itch.
