[78] Mrs Wilmot, well known for her great talents in drawing, _et cet. _ MONODY ON THE DEATH OF DR WARTON.
    Oh! I should ill thy generous cares requite Thou who didst first inspire my timid Muse, Could I one tuneful tear to thee refuse, Now that thine aged eyes are closed in night, Kind Warton! Thou hast stroked my stripling head, And sometimes, mingling soft reproof with praise, My path hast best directed through the maze Of thorny life: by thee my steps were led To that romantic valley, hi
...gh o'erhung With sable woods, where many a minstrel rung 10 His bold harp to the sweeping waterfall; Whilst Fancy loved around each form to call That fill the poet's dream: to this retreat Of Fancy, (won by whose enticing lay I have forgot how sunk the summer's day), Thou first did guide my not unwilling feet; Meantime inspiring the gay breast of youth With love of taste, of science, and of truth. The first inciting sounds of human praise, A parent's love excepted, came from thee; 20 And but for thee, perhaps, my boyish days Had all passed idly, and whate'er in me Now live of hope, been buried.
