He would show his verses to several friends; and would alter almost everything that any of them hinted at as wrong. He seemed to be too diffident of himself; and too much con- cerned about his character as a poet; or (as he worded it) too solicitous for that kind of praise which, God knows, is a very little matter after all." — Pope: Spence's Anec- dotes.
