POEMS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. ΤΟ MR. DRYDEN. How long, great poet, shall thy sacred lays Provoke our wonder, and transcend our praise? Grief chill'd his breast, and check'd his rising thought; Prevailing warmth has still thy mind possest, B Now Ovid boasts th' advantage of thy song, Have liv'd a second life, and different nature's try'd. MAG. COLL. OXON, June 2, 1693. The Author's age 22. |
