William Cowper - In A Letter To C. P. Esq. In Imitation Of Shakspeare
Work rating: Low

Trust me the meed of praise, dealt thriftily 
From the nice scale of judgement, honours more
Than does the lavish and o`erbearing tide
Of profuse courtesy.  Not all the gems
Of India`s richest soil at random spread
O`er the gay vesture of some glittering dame,
Give such alluring vantage to the person,
As the scant lustre of a few, with choice
And comely guise of ornament disposed.
