Epigram on Admiral Vernon
Long in the senate had brave V ERNON rail'd,
And all mankind with bitter tongue assail'd:
Sick of his noise we wearied heav'n with pray'r
In his own element to place the tar.
The gods at length have yielded to our wish,
And bade him rule o'er Billingsgate and fish.
And all mankind with bitter tongue assail'd:
Sick of his noise we wearied heav'n with pray'r
In his own element to place the tar.
The gods at length have yielded to our wish,
And bade him rule o'er Billingsgate and fish.
