"The Poems of Jonathan Swift, D.D., Volume 2"

Patrick's church), while he was
publishing Lord Orrery's Remarks.
Faulkner! for once you have some judgment shown,
By representing Swift transform'd to stone;
For could he thy ingratitude have known,
Astonishment itself the work had done!

AN INSCRIPTION
Intended for a compartment in Dr. Swift's monument, designed by
Cunningham, on College Green, Dublin.
Say, to the Drapier's vast unbounded fame,
What added honours can the sculptor give?
None.--'Tis a sanction from the Drapier's name
Must bid the sculptor and his marble live.
June 4, 1765.

AN EPIGRAM OCCASIONED BY THE ABOVE INSCRIPTION
Which gave the Drapier birth two realms contend;
And each asserts her poet, patriot, friend:
Her mitre jealous Britain may deny;
That loss Ierne's laurel shall supply;
Through life's low vale, she, grateful, gave him bread;
Her vocal stones shall vindicate him dead.
W. B. J. N.
1766.
