"Hunting Song", in Apollo and Daphne (1734, or later) Fond of your freedom spurn the venal fee, And prove he's only great—who dares to be free. Manners (1739), l. 21; 2nd ed. (1748): Fond of your freedom, spurn at the venal fee, And prove he's only great—who dares be free. Honour’s a mistress all mankind pursue, Yet most mistake the false one for the true: Lur’d by the trappings, dazzled by the paint, We worship oft the idol for the saint. Honour (1747), l. 105 Why, praise is satire in these sinful days. Honour (1747), l. 215 External links Paul Whitehead (satirist) Category:1710 births Category:1774 deaths Category:Poets from England Category:Satirists from England Category:People from London
