Excerpt from The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift, D. D., Dean of St. Patrick's, Dublin, Vol. 14: With Notes, Historical and Critical

I borrowed your Homer from the bishop (mine is not yet landed) and read it out in two evenings. If it pleases others as well as me, you have got your end in profit and reputation: Yet I am angry at some bad rhymes and triplets, and pray in your next do not let me have so many unjustifiable rhymes+'to war and gods. I tell you all the faults I know, only in one or two places you are a little obscure; but I expected you to be so in one or two and twenty. I have heard no foul talk of it here, for indeed it is not come over; nor do we very much abound in judges, at least I have not the honour to be acquainted with them Your notes are perfectly good, and so are your preface and essay 4g. You were pretty hold in men tioning lord Bolingbroke in that preface. I saw the Key to the Lock but yesterday I think you have changed it a good deal, 'to adapt it to the present times�.
