Here you will find thePoemA Poetical Epistle To Sir William Bennet, Bart. of Grubbatof poet James Thomson
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.
