The Works of Henry Fielding/J-n W-ts At A Play.
(Redirected from J-n W-ts At A Play.)
WHILE hisses, groans, cat-calls thro' the pit,
Deplore the hapless poet's want of wit:
J—n W—ts, from silence bursing in a rage,
Cried, 'Men are mad who write in such an age.'
'Not so,' replied his friend, a sneering blade,
'The poet's only dull, the printer's mad.'
This work was published before January 1, 1929, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.
