TO ALDERMAN BOYDELL.

From Esteem in Cheapside, to Eclat in Pall Mall,
How happily Boydell proceeds;
While his judgment discriminates efforts so well,
To which his encouragement leads!
No wonder if loud approbation ensue!
'Tis Merit's right natural fruit;
When Spirit, like his, carries Arts into view;
And those Arts carry Shakespeare to boot!
