Non equidem hoc studeo bullatis ut mihi nugis Pagina turgescat, dare pondus idonea fumo. PERS., Sat. v. 19. 'Tis not indeed my talent to engage In lofty trifles, or to swell my page With wind and noise. There is no kind of false wit which has been so recommended by the practice of all ages as that which consists in a jingle of words, and is comprehended under the general name of punning.
I do not here form a statue to erect in the great square of a city, in a church, or any public place: "Non equidem hoc studeo, bullatis ut mihi nugis, Pagina turgescat...... Secreti loquimur:" 'tis for some corner of a library, or to entertain a neighbour, a kinsman, a friend, who has a mind to renew his acquaintance and familiarity with me in this image of myself.
