<A FIELDING> <T MPREFACE> <P 3><L 1> PREFACE THE VOLUMES I NOW PRESENT THE PUBLIC, CONSIST, AS THEIR TITLE INDICATES, OF VARIOUS MATTER; TREATING OF SUBJECTS WHICH BEAR NOT THE LEAST RELATION TO EACH OTHER: AND PERHAPS, WHAT MARTIAL SAYS OF HIS EPIGRAMS, MAY BE APPLICABLE TO THESE SEVERAL PRODUCTIONS. SUNT BONA, SUNT QUAEDAM MEDIOCRIA, SUNT MALA PLURA. AT LEAST, IF THE BONA BE DENIED ME, I SHALL, I APPREHEND, BE ALLOWED THE OTHER TWO. THE POETICAL PIECES WHICH COMPOSE THE FIRST PART OF THE FIRST VOLUME, WERE MOST OF THEM WRITTEN WHEN I WAS VERY YOUNG, AND ARE INDEED PRODUCTIONS OF THE HEART RATHER THAN OF THE HEAD. IF THE GOOD-NATURED READER THINKS THEM TOLERABLE, IT WILL ANSWER MY WARMEST HOPES. THIS BRANCH OF WRITING IS WHAT I VERY LITTLE PRETEND TO, AND WILL APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN VERY LITTLE MY PURSUIT, SINCE I THINK(ONE OR TWO POEMS EXCEPTED) I HAVE HERE PRESENTED MY READER WITH ALL I COULD REMEMBER, OR PROCURE COPIES OF. MY MODERNIZATION OF PART OF THE SIXTH SATIRE OF JUVENAL, . . .
