BOOKSELLER.

USEUM, fir! that's not enough.
New works, we know, require a Puff;

A title to entrap the eyes,

And catch the reader by furprize:
As gaudy figns, which hang before
The tavern or the alehouse door,
Hitch ev'ry paffer's obfervation,"
Magnetic in their invitation.

That SHAKESPEARE is prodigious fine
Shall we ftep in, and taste the wine?
Men, women, houses, horses, books,
All borrow credit from their looks.

[ocr errors]

Externals have the gift of striking,
And lure the fancy into liking.
