TWO EPIGRAMS.
I. ON A PORTRAIT PRESENTED TO J. Y. SIMPSON, M.D. (AFTERWARDS SIR JAMES SIMPSON).
Unto myself my better self you gave.I give yourself yourself: but ah, my friend,
In how inverse a ratio! To amend
The unjust return these thanks are all I have,
Except a sigh, when that poor ‘all’ is o'er,
To feel, alas, no less your debtor than before.
342
II. ON THE DEATH OF EDWARD FORBES.
Nature, a jealous mistress, laid him low.He woo'd and won her; and, by love made bold,
She showed him more than mortal man should know,
Then slew him lest her secret should be told.
