PREFACE

I thanked my God, that, while below,
This pleasing task to me was given;
And when my numbers ceased to flow,
I bent the knee and looked to Heaven.HHHH 4.1

Let none this humble work assail,
Its failings to expose to view,
Which sprung within Misfortune’s vale,
And ‘neath the dews of Sorrow grew.HHHH 4.2
