Side 9 - A virgin tragedy, an orphan muse.' If I dislike it, 'Furies, death and rage!' If I approve, 'Commend it to the stage.
Side 24 - Who but must laugh if such a man there be ? Who would not weep if Atticus were he?
Side 25 - Fed with soft Dedication all day long, Horace and he went hand in hand in song. His library, where busts of poets dead...

On cares like these, if length of days attend, May Heaven, to bless those days, preserve my friend!
Side 9 - Lintot, dull rogue! will think your price too much." "Not, sir, if you revise it, and retouch.
