4342442The Works of Alexander Pope — Occasion'd by some Verses of his Grace the Duke of BuckinghamAlexander Pope
Muse, 'tis enough: at length thy labour ends, And thou shalt live; for Buckingham commends. Let crowds of criticks now my verse assail, Let D———s write, and nameless numbers rail: This more than pays whole years of thankless pain; Time, health, and fortune, are not lost in vain. Sheffield approves, consenting Phœbus bends, And I and Malice from this hour are friends.
