Copies of " An Elegy on the Ancient Greek Model , " are so rare , the performance itself is so eminently poetical , ( b ) the sentiments which it expresses are so happily adapted to the occasion that called them forth , ( ) and so consonant with the principles and object of the Monthly Repository , as to render me desirous of preserving it in these pages . To gratify some
