James Thomson - A Poetical Epistle To Sir William Bennet, Bart. of Grubbat
Work rating: Low

My trembling muse your honour does address,
That it`s a bold attempt most humbly I confess;
If you`ll encourage her young fagging flight,
She`ll upwards soar and mount Parnassus` height.
If little things with great may be compared
In Rome it so with the divine Virgil fared;
The tuneful bard Augustus did inspire,
Made his great genius flash poetic fire;
But if upon my flight your honour frowns,
The muse folds up her wings, and dying — justice owns.
