William Cowper - Epitaph On JohnsonWilliam Cowper - Epitaph On Johnson
Work rating: Low


Here Johnson lies, a sage by all allowed, Whom to have bred, may well make England proud; Whose prose was eloquence, by wisdom taught, The graceful vehicle of virtuous thought; Whose verse may claim, grave, masculine and strong, Superior praise to the mere poet`s song; Who many a noble gift from Heaven possessed, And faith at last, alone worth all the rest. O man, immortal by a double prize, By fame on earth, by glory in the skies!
