THE ORNAMENTED WITH A PORTRAIT OF ABRAHAM NEWLAND, ESQ. To Correspondents. NOTWITHSTANDING the ingenious comments of CRITO on Cowley's lines :— "A neighbouring wood born with himself he sees, And loves his old contemporary trees." he will find them all fruitless by consulting the original in Claudian: "Ingentem mominit parvo qui germine quercum Aquævumque videt consenuisse nemus." It must, however, be admitted that the English Poet is superior to his original. There is a voluptuousness, if not an obscenity, in SECUNDUS'S history of a Kiss, which prevents its admission into the Union. Magazine. |
