A reader from Illinois adds Alexander Pope to the roster of Frog-bashing

English writers. From THE DUNCIAD, describing the corruption of English

political life in the early 18c (said corruption being, of course, all the

fault of the French):

The sturdy Squire to Gallic masters stoop,
And drown his lands and manors in a soupe .
Others import yet nobler arts from France,
Teach kings to fiddle, and make senates dance.
