Explanation:

The first quote "But like a hawk encumber'd with his hood, Explaining Metaphysics to the nation— I wish he would explain his Explanation." implies that the subject is confusing his audience while trying to explain metaphysics, as the speaker wants the subject to explain his own explanations. The second quote "...he really promised something great, If not intelligible, without Greek Contrived to talk about the Gods of late, Much as they might have been supposed to speak." suggests that the subject has half - baked knowledge as he tries to talk about the gods in a way that is not truly understandable or well - informed.
