Would you be well receiv'd where'er you go,Remember each Man vanquish'd is a Foe:Resist not therefore to your utmost Might,But let the Weakest think he's sometimes right;He, for each Triumph you shall thus decline,Shall give ten Opportunities to shine;He sees, since once you own'd him to excel,That 'tis his Interest you should reason well.
DECEMBER. [1757] XII Month.
