ROSAMUND GRAY: RECOLLECTIONS OF CHRIST'S HOSPITAL, ETC. ETC. BY CHARLES LAMB. AUTHOR OF THE ESSAYS OF ELIA." LONDON:' EDWARD MOXON, DOVER STREET. MDCCCXXXV. ΤΟ MARTIN CHARLES BURNEY, ESQ. FORGIVE me, BURNEY, if to thee these late Thyself no common judge of books and men, My verse was offered to an older friend; Those humourous clouds that flit o'er brightest days, In all my threadings of this worldly maze, (And I have watched thee almost from a child), Free from self-seeking, envy, low design, I have not found a whiter soul than thine. |
