Shakspeare and His Times [Vol. 1 of 2]

Note 684:A — Chapter IV · (continued 2)

Reading edition

A collection which consists, observes Mr. Park, "of the saddest trash that ever assumed the name of Epigrams; and which, with a very slight alteration, well merits the sarcasm bestowed by Shenstone on the poems of a Kidderminster bard:—

"Thy verses, friend, are linsey woolsey stuff, And we must own—you've measur'd out enough."

Censura Lit. vol. v. p. 348.
