It was thought proper to infer t in this place the 

 pleaimg Preface which Mr. DRYDEN printed before 

 his Translation of M. Du FRESNQY'S Poem. There 

 is a charm in that great writer's Profe peculiar to 

 itfelf ; and tho', perhaps, the Parallel between the 

 two Arts, which he has here drawn, be too fuper- 

 ficial to ftand the teft of ftricl: Criticifm, yet it will 

 ^always give pleafure to Readers of Tafte, even when 

 it fails to fatisfy their Judgment.
