Epigram By Mr. Bowyer Intended To Be Placed Under The Head Of Gulliver. 1733

By Jonathan Swift

"Here learn from moral truth and wit refined, How vice and folly have debased mankind; Strong sense and humour arm in virtue's cause; Thus her great votary vindicates her laws: While bold and free the glowing colours strike; Blame not the picture, if the picture's like."
