Poem by Anonymous

To a Worn-Out Author

When next you’re in print, Ned, for money or fame,
Be advis’d by a friend, let the work want your name: 
For whoever in that should unluckily look,
And remembers your last, will ne’er open the book.

1. Shakespeare’s Monument at Stratford-upon-Avon
2. The Guard-Chamber
3. Bide ye yet by
4. Sir Richard Whittington’s Advancement
5. The Bells of Fletching
