Epig. 38. On Mr. Sands inimitable translation of Ovids Metamorphosis .

Tell me did'st thou converse with Ovid's Spirit
Converse, said I, most sure thou didst inherit
His Soule, I now will credit thy relation,
That soules transplanted are by transmigration:

For when I read thy work, and it compare
With Naso's own, to me it doth appeare
Thou hast out-done him, and his Latine Verse,
(Pure and unspotted) while thou dost reherse
In our own tongu, is grac'd and made more high
Then when t'was absent from each vulgar eye.
