Select Works of the British Poets: With Biographical and Critical Prefaces, Հատոր 1"The object of this work, which is entirely new, is to comprise, within a single volume, a chronological series of our classical poets, from Ben Johnson to Beattie, without mutilation or abridgment, with biographical and critical notices of their authors.

fear'd ; should we again provoke Immortal vigour , though oppress'd and fall'n ,
Our stronger , some worse way his wrath may find I give not Heaven for lost .
