THE LIFE OF THE AUTHOR.

Cooke's Edition.

Here's norvde ore; no fits of heat and cold;
Here all is nature, yet all's beaten gold;
No forc'd in fterious foarings in the clouds;
No mud, no foam, no noife, in your deep foods,
With fuch true fpirit your great numbers run,
As lighting bold, but equal as the fun:
Gentle tho' trong; and high, yet still in fight;
Rapid, yet pure; and eafy as the light,

Verjes to Prior.
