A FRAGMENT, from the Italian; understand English. The short-pac'd efforts of a trammeld Muse; And my mistaking passion thus accuse. Strive, in rough sound, soft meaning to impart? And point his purpose at the hearer's heart. Nymphs of thy native clime, perhaps—they cry, But we must understand ere we comply! Tell them, 'tis nothing, how, or what, I write And scorns the lame impertinence of wit. CONTENTS C O N T E N T S OF THE THIRD VOLUME, SAMS 67 .
