On an unknown generous Person.

'Tis Virtue to the highest Pitch to raise,
At once to merit, and decline the Praise:
While conscious inward Joy and deep Delight
Approve the Doer, and the Deed requite.
Tho' modest Worth its own Desert may wrong.
Yet ev'n from Silence he demands a Tongue,
Who like dispensing Providence bestows:
The Good confers, concealing the Dispose:
So oft descending Pow'rs, in Mists array'd,
Veil'd the bright Glory with impervious Shade.
