Note 109 — Chapter V
Reading edition
“—— Granby stands without a flaw; At least, each fault he did possess Rose from some virtue in excess. Pierc’d by the piteous tale of grief, When wretches sought of him relief, His eyes large drops of pearl distilling, He’d give—till left without a shilling! What most his manly heart-strings tore, Was, when he felt, and found no more.”
Poem by Major Henry Waller, in the Gentleman’s Magazine for September, 1784.
