BEGGAR. If Poverty be a Title to Poetry, I am sure no-body can
dispute mine. I own myself of the Company of Beggars; and I make
one at their Weekly Festivals at St. Giles's. I have a small Yearly
Salary for my Catches, and am welcome to a Dinner there whenever I
please, which is more than most Poets can say. PLAYER. As we live
by the Muses, it is but Gratitude in us to encourage Poetical Merit
wherever we find it. The Muses, contrary to all other Ladies, pay
no Distinction to Dress, and never partially mistake the Pertness
of Embroidery for Wit, nor the Modesty of Want for Dulness. Be the
Author who he will, we push his Play as far as it will go. So
(though you are in Want) I wish you success heartily.
