Note p. 98 — IN THE GROUNDS OF COLEORTON, THE SEAT OF SIR GEORGE BEAUMONT, BART., LEICESTERSHIRE
Reading edition
[B] This line is from The Battle of Bosworth Field, by Sir John Beaumont (Brother to the Dramatist), whose poems are written with so much spirit, elegance, and harmony, that it is supposed, as the Book is very scarce, a new edition of it would be acceptable to Scholars and Men of taste, and, accordingly, it is in contemplation to give one.—W. W. 1807.
Beaumont's line in The Battle of Bosworth Field is—
The earth assists thee with the cry of blood.Ed.
