Excerpt from The Lyricks, Vol. 1
It may conciliate some enmities and captivate, perhaps, some good-will when I abjure all pretensions to rank as a Poet. NO one more fully appreciates the difference between making and translating; between the Poétés'(the Creator) and the copier who aspires only to second prizes, to increase the returns or revenues of knowledge, but not the stock or inheritance. My ambition is limited to the humbler boast.
