CRABBE.

C opyist of Nature—simply, sternly true,—

R eal the scenes that in thy page we view.

“A mid the huts where poor men lie” unknown,

B right humor or deep pathos thou hast thrown.

B ard of the “Borough” and the “Village,” see—

E ’en haughty Byron owns he’s charm’d by thee.

WALTER SCOTT.

W ondrous Wizard of the North,

A rmed with spells of potent worth!
