"Arthur, whose giddy son leglects the laws."
on which Warburton notes--
"_Arthur Moore, Esq._"
Who was _Arthur Moore, Esq._? and who was the "giddy son?" Was the
latter _James Moore Smith_ a gentleman whose family name was, I think,
_Moore_, and who assumed (perhaps for a fortune) the additional name of
_Smith_? This gentleman Pope seems to call indiscriminately _Moore_,
_Moor_, and _More_: and when he says that his good nature towards the
dunces was so great that he had even "rhymed for Moor" (Ib. v. 373.), I
cannot but suspect that the Moor _for_ whom he had _rhymed_, was the
_giddy son_ whom _Arthur_ accused him of seducing from the law to the
Muses. There are many allusions to this Mr. James Moore Smith throughout
Pope's satirical works, but all very obscure; and Warburton, though he
appears to have known him, affords no explanation as to who or what he
was. He was the author of a comedy called _The Rival Modes_.
