A midnight modern conversation W. Hogarth invt. pinxt & sculpt. Think not to find one meant resemblance there, We lash the vices but the persons spare. Prints should be prizd as authors should be read Who sharply smile prevailing folly dead So Rabilaes laught, & so Cervantes thought, So Nature dictated what Art has taught
