Seite 261 - ... in judgment and in genius bright; In controversy seldom known to spare, But humble as the Publican in prayer ; To more, than merited his kindness, kind, And, though in manners harsh, of friendly mind ; Deep ting'd with melancholy's blackest shade, And, though prepar'd to die, of death afraid— Such Johnson was ; of him with justice vain, When will this nation see his like again...
