Note 110 — EPISTLE TO F. C. R. MUNDY, Esq. OF MARKETON, DERBYSHIRE.—WRITTEN 1794
Reading edition
l. 12. Chang’d a Bard—The author hopes she shall not be understood too seriously through this sportive poem. She has every honour for the profession of a public magistrate, and only means to say, that it does not require, she presumes, that brilliance of imagination, necessary to form a poet, accomplished as Mr Mundy. It is hoped she may be excused for trying to exalt her honoured masters, the Bards.
