_On a certain line of Mr. Br----, author of a copy of verses
called the "British Beauties."--From the_ "GARLAND," _a

"When one good line did much my wonder raise
In Br----st's works, I stood resolved to praise;
And had, but that the modest _author_ cries,
_Praise undeserv'd is satire in disguise_."
I would add, that I believe this Epigram to be Dr. Kenrick's,
Goldsmith's old persecutor in later years.
