POETICAL WORKS

OF

WIL. SOMERVILE.

IN TWO VOLUMES.

For thee I quit the law's more rugged ways,
To pay my humble tribute to thy lays --
Wak'd by thy lines, the borrow'd flames I feel,
As flints give fire when aided by the steel---
Thy genius in such colours paints the Chase,
The real to fictitious joys give place.

When the wild music charms my ravish'd ear,
How dull, how tasteless Handel's notes appear!
Ev'n Farinelli's seif the paim resigns;

He yields.but to the music of thy lines---
They but a momentary joy impart;

'Tis you who touch the scul and warm the heart.
