The only exception ts the Author of the follow- ing Poem, who doubtleſs had either a better in- fight into the grounds of this clamour, or a bet-

ter opinion of Mr. Pope's integrity, join'd with

a greater perſonal love for bim, than a7 other of his numerous friends and admirers. _ Farther, that he was in his peculiar intima- cy, appears from the knowledge be manifeſts of the moſt private Authors of all the anonymous pieces againſt him, and from bis having in this Poem attacked no man living, .who bad not be- fore printed and publiſhed 9gainſ this particular
