Hail, bards triumphant I bom in happier days. Immortal heirs of universal praise I Whose honors with increase of ages grow. As streams roil down, enlarging as they fiow; Nations unborn your mighty names shall sound, And worlds applaud that must not yet be found I Oh I may some spark of your celestial fire, The last, the meanest, of your sons inspire, (That on weak wings from far pursues your flights, Olows while he reads, but trembles as he writes), To teach vain wits a science little known, — ...To admire superior sense, and doubt their own." Johnson's poem on the '* Vanity of Human Wishes ** is imitated from the tenth Satire of Juvenal. The strik- ing passage on Hannibal Q^ expende Hannibalem^^^ &c.) is transferred to Charles XII. of Sweden. The lines will bftar quotation : — *' On what foundations stands the warrior's pride, How Just his hopes, let Swedish Charles decide. A frame of adamant, a soul of fire, No dangers fright him, and no labors tire; O'er love, o'er fear, extends his wide domain, Unconquered lord of pleasure and of pain.
