To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His thoughts are often bold and original ; his expressions happy and striking ; but he is often quaint and forced in his images, at least as / think. But you must not kill me, if I say in my old age, I almost begin to think that taste, as it is called, in our judgment of the Muse, LIFE OF AKENSIDE. 139 has more whim than solidity, and that our ear is often too imperious to be governed by rules. Nothing can be more unlike than Gray and Cowper ; yet I am enraptured of them both. I am wicked enoug...h to think Dryden very superior to Pope. Prior and Waller, in some of their playful graces, enchant me; but I cannot admire Mason or Thomson. " I have paid the greater attention to Mr. Har- dinge *, because he brings a charge against Aken- side of political apostacy.
It is certain that Mr. Dyson forsook his party, and became a tory ; but it does not appear that Akenside, whatever his friend might do, ever for- sook his principles; at least, his second poem on the Pleasures of Imagination is, to the full, as remarkable for a fine glow of liberty as the first.
