TO THE CRITIC.
Friend, when a rival poem you peruse,
Let not black envy blind the partial muse;
Where merit is, esteem it as your own,
And in it's triumph let your light be shown:

Dear students, now indulge the thoughtful hours;
Seek to awake the long forgotten strain,
And make old Ampheon string his harp again:
By Pindar taught tune the Ausonian lyre,
With English elegance and Roman fire.
