Side 397 - Vati noceat . But however this contention might be carried on by the Partizans on either side, I cannot help thinking these two great Poets were good friends, and lived on amicable terms and in offices of society with each other.
Side 49 - Love, rais'd on beauty, will like that decay, Our hearts may bear its slender...
