THOMAS TICKELL.

WITH THE LIFE OF THE AUTHOR.

Permit thefe Lines by thee to live-nor blame

A Mufe that pants and languifhes for fame,
That fears to fink when humbler themes the fings,
Loft in the mafs of mean forgotten things.
Receiv'd by thee I prophefy my Rhymes
The praife of virgins in fucceeding times:

Mix'd with thy works their life no bounds fhall fee,
But ftand protected as infpir'd by thee.
