  I know your only Help, the pow’rful Charm
  That aids in ev’ery Grief and every Harm,
  I know the Leaches Craft, and what they need
  Who Doctors in that Noble Art proceed.

  Me Elphin now his Bard may justly boast
  Who long of old amid the Fire-wing’d Host: 
  Once Merlin was I call’d, well known to Fame,
  Whom future Kings shall Taliessin name. 
  Wo to the Wretch who Wealth by Rapine gains,
  And wo to him who Fasts and Pray’rs refrains;
  Wo to the Shepherds who their Flocks betray,
  And will not drive the Ravish Wolves away.

Vide Psal. 80, & 81. Where some Verses have Treble, where Quadruple Rhimes, four in one Verse.

[7] Vide Collier’s Reflexions on Moarning Bride, and Garth’s Dispensary.

[8] I know some have affirm’d that Moses’s Song in the 14_th of_ Exodus was writ in Hexameters, but I can’t perceive any such thing in it, any more than in the 90_th_ Psalm, or the Book of Job, which seem to be written about the same time with it.  The Song of the Well, in Numbers, pag. 15. is clearly an Ode of unequal Measures.
