 | An Epistle in Verse, occasioned by the death of James Boswell, Esquire |  |
I see the man, the parent, and the friend:
The husband and the widower ascend;
The pleader stands before me in his gown;
The sportive humourist diverts the town;
Anecdote and Biography appear,
Now to amuse, and now to draw the tear:
While his great Johnson is rever'd and painted,
His Boswell is more fully represented.

The sportive humourist diverts the town;

His Boswell is more fully represented.
