Why make ’Em both together Lords,
Or Hang them Both together.
[Another] 98
At Scribblers poor, who Rail 99 to Eat,
Ye wags, give over jeering;
Since gall’d by Harry, Bob the Great
Has stoop’d to Pamphleteering.
Would not one Champion on his Side
For Love or Money venture?
Must Knighthood’s Mirror, spite of Pride,
So mean a Combat enter?
To take the Field his Weakness shows,
Though well he could maintain it:
Since Hal no Honour has to lose,
Pray, how should Robin gain it?
Worthy each other are the Two:
Halloo! Boys, Fairly start ye:
Let Those be hated worse than You
Who ever strive to part Ye!
The Alliance, or Like to Like 100
The Saints in Nol’s Religious Years
Struck up a Friendship with Algiers,
And, while they Cavaliers exclude
Receive the Turk to Brotherhood
98 Samuel Wesley Jr., ms; cf. Poems (1862), 633.
99 Later published version: “write to eat”
100 Not in Poems (1862), so not surviving in manuscript, but likely also by Samuel Jr.
