- "Genius, enamor'd of his fruitful bride, Assumes new force and elevates his pride. No more, recumbent o'er his finger'd style, He plods whole years each copy to compile, Leaves to ludibrious winds the priceless page, Or to chance fires the treasure of an age; But bold and buoyant, with his sister Fame, He strides o'er earth, holds high his ardent flame, Calls up Discovery with her tube and scroll, And points the trembling magnet to the pole."
- "Carols, too, receive ludibrious attention; and it is not unusual for small Christmas singers at the door to offer their own words to the familiar tunes […]"
- "the Souldiers Geniculations, thornie Coronation, and ludibrious Gesticulations"
