You, as your Custom is, defend his Fame.
""Petillius is my Friend; from early Youth
""Chearful we liv'd together, and in truth
""I have been much indebted to his Power,
""And I rejoice to find his Danger o'er.
""But, in the Name of Wonder be it said,
""At that same Trial how he sav'd his Head.""--
Such Rancour this, of such a poisonous Vein,
As never, never, shall my Paper stain:
Much less infect my Heart, if I may dare

For my own Heart, in any thing, to swear.
