THE
WORKS
OF
IN NINE VOLUMES.
WITH NOTES CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY,
AND A BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR,
By W. GIFFORD, Esq.
The Muses' fairest light in no dark time;
The wonder of a learned age; the line
Which none can pass; the most proportion'd wit,
To nature, the best judge of what was fit;
The deepest, plainest, highest, clearest pen;
The voice most echo'd by consenting men;
The soul which answer'd best to all well said
By others, and which most requital made.
VOLUME THE FIFTH.

THE DEVIL IS AN ASS.
THE STAPLE OF NEWS.
THE NEW INN.
