LINES Addressed to Lady Miller, on the Urn at Bath-Easton.
Miller, the Urn in ancient times ('tis said)Held the collected ashes of the dead:
So thine, the wonder of these modern days,
Stands open night and day for lifeless lays.
Leave not unfinish'd then the well-form'd plan,
Complete the work thy classic taste began;
And oh! in future, ere thou dost inurn 'em,
Remember first to raise a pile—and burn 'em.
