Présentation de l'éditeur
Author may have improved his language, in the eleven years, that the follcving poems have been in the hands of the pubhc. Errors in diftion might have been committed at twentyfour, which the experience of a riper age may remove ;and fome exuberances mimagery m.ay be reftrained, with advantage, by a degree of judgment acquired in the progrefs of time. I mpreifed with this opmion, he ran over the whole with attention and accuracy ;and, he hopes, he has brought the work to a flate of corre6tnefs, which will preclude all future improvements. The eagernefs, with which thefe Poems have been received abroad, are a recompcnce for the coldnefs with which a few have affecled to treat them at home. All the polite nations of Europe have transferred them into their refpeclive languages ;and they fpeak of him, who brought them to light, in terms that might flatter the vanity of one fond of fame, in a convenient indifference for a literary reputation, the Author hears praife without being elevated, and ribaldry, without being deprefled. He has frequently feen the firfi bellowed too precipitately ;and the latter is fo faithlefs to its purpofe, that it is often the only index to merit in the prefent age.
