TO
Mr. JOHN JAMES FLETCHER,
OF LONDON,
THIS POEM IS DEDICATED,
AS A TRIBUTE OF ESTEEM
FOR HIS TALENTS AND FRIENDSHIP,
AND AS A TESTIMONY
OF THE PLEASURABLE SENSATIONS
FELT UPON LOOKING BACK,
TO THE NUMBERLESS
HAPPY AND PROFITABLE HOURS,
SPENT
IN HIS CONVERSATION AND SOCIETY,
BY HIS MOST SINCERE FRIEND,
THE AUTHOR.
