CONSIDERED AS THE SUBJECT OF POETRY.
Inscribed to Mr. John Home. HOME! thou return’st from Thames, whose naiads
long Have seen thee lingering with a fond delay, Mid those soft friends whose hearts, some fu

Whom, long endear'd, thou leavest by Lavant's Together let us wish him lasting truth [side; And joy untainted, with his
ride.
• A gentleman of the pame of Barrow, who introduced Ilome to Collins. VOL. III.
