BG.735.027
1-8 Sep 1735:21,22 (818)
Boston, Aug. 14 1735. The following lines were written to a
young gentleman, occasion'd by a poem of his, the early
produce of his fine genius, inscrib'd to a young lady, and
presented to me for my perusal and opinion of it ---- by
inserting them, sir, in your next, you'll highly gratify the
fancy of yours, &c.
. . . [3 lines of Latin verse; signed:] Virg.
Hail wond'rous bard! whom all-wise Phaebus owns,
And speaks the best lov'd of his [ ] sons;
What shall I say? What numbers shall I chuse,
Thou may'st be grating to my easy muse?
. . . [48 more lines]
