Ser

Their Bodies bath'd in purple Blood,
They bore with them away;

They kiss'd them dead a thousand times,
When they were clad in Clay.

Thus we see how the Thoughts of this
Poem, which naturally arife from the
Subject, are always fimple, and fome-
times exquifitely noble; that the Lan-
guage
is often very founding, and that
the whole is written with a true poeti-
cal Spirit.

IF this Song had been written in the Gothick Manner, which is the Delight of all our little Wits, whether Writers or Readers, it would not have hit the Tafte of fo many Ages, and have pleafed the Readers of all Ranks and Conditions. I fhall only beg Pardon for fuch a Profufion of Latin Quotations; which I fhould not have made use of, but that I feared my own Judgment would have looked too fingular on fuch a Subject, had not I fupported it by the Practice and Authority of Virgil.
