LINES

Written on returning from the Funeral of the

RIGHT HON. C. J. FOX,

Friday, October 10, 1806.

ADDRESSED TO LORD HOLLAND.

—"Pianger ben merti ognor, s'ora non piangi!"—
Tasso.



And is this all?—that vast and vigorous mind,
Whose views embraced the good of all mankind;
That reasoning Eloquence, whose rapid course
Bore down the Opposer with resistless force;
That Genius, from all trick and tinsel free,
Bright as the Sun, and boundless as the Sea;
