Стр. 204 - Jupiter ;" and, to speak in the same heathen language, we call it the gift of our Apollo, not to be obtained by pains or study, if we are not born to it : for the motions which are studied are never so natural as those which break out in the height of a real passion. Mr. Otway possessed this part as thoroughly as any of the antients or moderns.
Стр. 220 - Oh lasting as those colours may they shine, Free as thy stroke, yet faultless as thy line, New graces yearly like thy works display, Soft without weakness, without glaring gay ; Led by some rule that guides, but not constrains ; And finish 'd more through happiness than pains.
