Seems, Churchill!—nay, it is!
The following address to the artist may, with infinitely more propriety, be applied to the bard; whose name I have therefore ventured to insert in the place where he has left the name of Hogarth:
"With so much merit, and so much success,
With so much power to curse, so much to bless,
Would he have been man's friend instead of foe,
Churchill had been a little god below.
Why, then, like savage giants fam'd of old,
Of whom in Scripture story we are told,
Dost thou in cruelty that strength employ,
Which Nature meant to save, not to destroy?
