Notes
Elegiac Sonnets, and Other Poems, Volume 1, The Ninth Edition
Ah! then, how dear the Muse's favours cost,If those paint sorrow best—who feel it most!
'The well-sung woes shall soothe my pensive ghost;'He best can paint them who shall feel them most.'Pope's Eloisa to Abelard, 366th line.
Anemonies, that spangled every grove.
Anemony Nemeroso. The wood Anemony.
'Scrivo in te l'amato nome'Di colei, per cui, mi moro.'
The Muse shall still, with social aid,Her gentlest promise keep;E'en humble Harting's cottag'd valeShall learn the sad repeated tale,And bid her shepherds weep.
'Wild Arun too has heard thy strains,'And Echo, 'midst thy native plains,Been sooth'd with Pity's lute.
