ON REPRINTING Philomela's POEMS,
Forty Years after their first Publication.
Impartial old Time with his Scythe has cut down,With the Dregs of the People, both Crosier and Crown;
Nor has Poetry 'scap'd! Philomela long Dead,
Now re-warbles her Throat, again lifts up her Head;
Of her beautiful Numbers, attend to the Flow,
In the Woods the delightfullest Singer is Rowe.
