XLVIII + 

Reader, whoever thou mayst be, + 

Foeman or friend, I do aspire + 

To part in amity with thee! + 

Adieu! whate’er thou didst desire + 

From careless stanzas such as these, + 

Of passion reminiscences, + 

Pictures of the amusing scene, + 

Repose from labour, satire keen, + 

Or faults of grammar on its page⁠— + 

God grant that all who herein glance, + 

In serious mood or dalliance + 

Or in a squabble to engage, + 

May find a crumb to satisfy. + 

Now we must separate. Good-bye! + 
