Rowley—(Chatterton.)

44. A man resolved and steady to his trust,

Inflexible to ill, and obstinately just.

Dr. Watts.

45. I know thy generous temper well;

Fling but the appearance of dishonor on it,

It straight takes fire, and mounts into a blaze.

Addison—Cato.

46. Just like a snail through life's dull path you creep,

Your whole existence but a waking sleep.
