Transcription	To the Right Honble Charles Townsend, reminding him of his promise to serve Capt. Schomberg 1 If true that as the Wit is great, The Mem'ry's in proportion small; Ask him, or her, the first you meet, They'll swear that you have none at all. 2 This fact premis'd-- shall I once doubt. Again to urge my former suit; A Thousand Grains are blown about, For one that happily takes root. 3 Imagination like the wind, Lets not the seeds of kindness rest, But tho' they're scattere'd from your mind, They fall and settle in your breast. 4 To humbler Tasks your heart will bend, To feel neglected Worth Submit, And there will Schomberg find a Friend, Benevolent in Spite of Wit.
