He wants no advocate his caufe to plead :
You will yourfelves be patrons of the dead.

No party his benevolence confin'd,

No fect---alike it flow'd to all mankind.

Such was the Man---the Poet well you know;

Oft' has he touch'd your hearts with tender woe:
For his chafte Mufe employ'd her heav'n-taught lyre

None but the nobleft paffions to infpire:

Not one immoral, one corrupted thought,

One line which, dying, he could wish to blot.--

Prol. to Coriol.
