To some he has seemed feeble ; for many he wants the fire of genius. But multitudes in every age have been held willing captives by the lively play of his unwearied fancy, his melodious periods, his tenderness and truth; have yielded to a power that is never asserted, and to an art that is hidden in the simplicity of a master. By his side gleams out from the mists of cen- turies the severe and intellectual countenance of Alexander Pope. Bitter, treacherous, and cruel, magnanimous and full of mo...ral vigor, the teacher of honesty and independence, the poet of Queen Anne's age still holds his high place in the temple of fame. His versification, so novel and so perfect to his contemporaries, has long sunk into monotony under countless imitations ; his satiric vigor is no longer felt ; the splendor of his artifice and the glitter cf his rhetoric amaze J.d, vpt> THE DA YS OF QUEEN ANNE. 27 rather than delight; yet while literature endures the wise sen- tences and the keen insight of t\e philosophic poet will in- struct and guide his race.
