Of gentle Philips will I ever sing, <br />With gentle Philips shall the valleys ring. <br />My numbers too for ever will I vary, <br />With gentle Budgell and with gentle Carey. <br />Or if in ranging of the names I judge ill, <br />With gentle Carey and with gentle Budgell: <br />Oh! may all gentle bards together place ye, <br />Men of good hearts, and men of delicacy. <br />May satire ne'er befool ye, or beknave ye, <br />And from all wits that have a knack, God save ye.<br /><br />Alexander Pope<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-three-gentle-shepherds/
