Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Providence, Vol. 1: A Poem, in Four Cantos, With Miscellaneous Pieces Dear Sir, The day for high patronage, with a few exceptions, has long since passed, and dedication, therefore, is now more justly and properly restricted to the expression of friendship, gratitude, esteem, and respect; feelings which have never been entertained by many servile dedicators, who have been repaid in their own coin by those from whom they expected place or pension, but who have given them nought but words, and who have been ready to exclaim, though perhaps with as little justice as mercy, "Perish such patrons! to such sons of verse. For ever peace I they all deserve a hearse." I can truly go on to say with the same poet, who has thus recorded my own feelings; "But when constrained to follow fashion´s mode, I scorn to tread the common hackney´d road."
