Note 1276 — AN ESSAY ON MAN, IN FOUR EPISTLES (continued 3)
Reading edition
The passage is indebted to Fenton, in his Epistle to Southerne:
Who winged the winds, and gave the streams to flow, And raised the rocks, and spread the lawns below.—Wakefield.
MS.:
Think'st thou for thee he feeds the wanton fawn And not as kindly spreads for him the lawn? Think'st thou for thee the sky-lark mounts and sings?
