Writ on a blank Leaf of Merope;
sent to Mr. Garrick, by the Author.
To the never-equall'd Actor of Eumenes.
Into
your hands, a dumb dead likeness take,
Whose form you quicken'd, and whose soul you make.
Mine was a painted fire—your piercing rays
Lent light'ning; and effulg'd it into blaze.
Now, on a shelf, some silent nook impart
To him, you've loudly lodg'd on ev'ry heart.
