Thomas Tickell. 1686-1740

Just men, by whom impartial laws were given;

And saints who taught and led the way to heaven.

On the Death of Mr. Addison. Line 41.

Nor e'er was to the bowers of bliss conveyed

A fairer spirit or more welcome shade.

On the Death of Mr. Addison. Line 45.

There taught us how to live; and (oh, too high

The price for knowledge!) taught us how to die.[313:2]

On the Death of Mr. Addison. Line 81.

The sweetest garland to the sweetest maid.

To a Lady with a Present of Flowers.

I hear a voice you cannot hear,
Which says I must not stay;
I see a hand you cannot see,
Which beckons me away.

Colin and Lucy.
