An Epistle in Verse, occasioned by the death of James Boswell, Esquire | ||
No, Sir, in Johnson's manner, I reply:
To foibles friendship does not shut her eye,
Nor shuns the light, nor ventures to unsay,
Meekness may fret, and Patience curse her day.
A David and a Solomon may fall:
Cephas himself may be reprov'd by Paul.
To foibles friendship does not shut her eye,
Nor shuns the light, nor ventures to unsay,
