The works of my past weakness , as one views Some scene where danger met him long before /
Our limits compel us to pause . Our opinion will be readily inferred from the quantity Vhich we have quoted from a publication of only seventy pages . The chief blemish is a note ascribed to Pauline , p . 55 ; and there are a few passages rather obscure , 1 but that ' s not much . In recognising a poet we cannot stand
upon trifles , nor fret ourselves about such matters . Time enough for that afterwards , when larger works come before us . Archimedes in the bath had many particulars to settle about specific gravities , and Hiero ' s crown , but he first gave a glorious leap and shouted Eureka !

On the present occasion our remarks will relate , not so much
