[43] The passage belongs to him as far as “heart’s deep fervency.” It concluded, when first written, with a reference to the unhappy thraldom of his powers, of which I have been speaking; for at that time, says the writer, in a private communication, “he was not so well regulated in his habits and labours afterwards.” The verses are from a Rhymed Plea for Tolerance: in two dialogues, by John Kenyon. I wish that I had space to quote the sweet lines that follow, relating to the author’s own character and feelings, and his childhood passed “in our Carib isle.” They do justice to Mr. Kenyon’s humility and cheerfulness, in what they say of himself, but not to his powers.
