Issue 2 of Working with Pope continues with the metrical analysis of The Dunciad. This issue looks at verses 15 and 17 from Book I.

Verse 15

15      Laborious, heavy, busy, bold, and blind,
16      She rul’d, in native Anarchy, the mind.

Verse 17

17      Still her old Empire to restore she tries,
18      For, born a Goddess, Dulness never dies.
