/ ROGERS.\ /----------\ / \ / \ / \ / MOORE.--CAMPBELL.\ /--------------------\ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / SOUTHEY.--WORDSWORTH.--COLERIDGE.\ /------------------------------------\ / \ / THE MANY. \ / \ /--------------------------------------------\ There is a triangular 'Gradus ad Parnassum!'--the names are too numerous for the base of the triangle. Poor Thurlow has gone wild about the poetry of Queen Bess's reign--_c'est dommage_. I have ranked the names upon my triangle more upon what I believe popular opinion, than any decided opinion of my own. For, to me, some of M * * e's last _Erin_ sparks--'As a beam o'er the face of the waters'--'When he who adores thee'--'Oh blame not'--and 'Oh breathe not his name'--are worth all the Epics that ever were composed. |
