Aurora now, fair daughter of the dawn,
Sprinkled with rosy light the dewy lawn.

POPE: _Iliad,_ Bk. viii., Line 1.


=Author.=

Most authors steal their works, or buy;
Garth did not write his own Dispensary,

POPE: _E. on Criticism,_ Pt. iii., Line 59.

No author ever spar'd a brother.

GAY: _Fables, The Elephant and the Bookseller._

How many great ones may remember'd be,
Which in their days most famously did flourish,
Of whom no word we hear, nor sign now see,
But as things wip'd out with a sponge do perish.
125
SPENSER: _Ruins of Time,_ St. 52.


=Authority.=

Man, proud man,
Drest in a little brief authority,
Most ignorant of what he's most assur'd,
