SONNET I.

Line 13.

Ah! then, how dear the Muse's favours cost,
If those paint sorrow best—who feel it most!

'The well-sung woes shall soothe my pensive ghost;
'He best can paint them who shall feel them most.'
Pope's Eloisa to Abelard, 366th line.


SONNET II.

Line 3.

Anemonies, that spangled every grove.

Anemony Nemeroso. The wood Anemony.
