Upon a Paraphrase of Salomon's Song, Done by his Worthy Friend, Dr. Samuel Woodford.
Whilst Thou with Sacred Rage inspir'd dost SingThe Mystic Song of Songs, can Cold Age bring
An Offering fit? Or, without Fire, devote
True Zeal to Verse? Or can I tell by rote
Thy Praises without measure due? Shall I
Confound Thy Consort then, or Modesty
Prophane in Print? No, let me silent be
A Monumental Foyl to Poetry and Thee.
Nicholas Stuart. Baronet.
