A man must serve his time to every trade
Save censure — critics are ready-made.

English Bards and Scotch Reviewers (1809)

She had a good opinion of advice,
Like all who give and eke receive it gratis.
For which small thanks are still the market price,
Even where the article at highest rate is.

As soon
Seek roses in December, ice in June;
Hope constancy in wind, or corn in chaff;
Believe a woman or an epitaph,
Or any other thing that's false, before
You trust in critics, who themselves are sore.

English Bards and Scotch Reviewers (1809)
