And ſhall great Hallifax reſign to fate,
And not one bard upon his aſhes wait?
Or is with him all inſpiration fled,
And lye the muſes with their patron dead?
Convince us, Addiſon, his ſpirit reigns,
Breathing again in thy immortal ſtrains:
To thee the liſt’ning world impartial bends,
Since Hallifax and envy now are friends.
