PLN. EPIST.
Of manners gentie, of affections mid;
In wir a man, simplicity a child:
With native humour temp'ring virtuous rage;
Form'd to d-light, at once, and lash the age :
Above temptation in a low estate,
And uncorrupted ev'n amongst the great :
A safe companion, and an casy friend;
L'nblam'd thro' life, lamented in thy end :
These are thy hopriurs !---
