Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Will. Shenstone: With the Life of the Author and a Description of the Leasowes If the Author has hazarded, throughout, the ufe of Euglilh or modern allufions, he hopes it will notbe imputed to an entire ignorance, or to the leali dif el'teem of the ancient learning. He has kept the ah cient plan and method in his eye, though he builds his edifice with the materials of his own nation. In other words, through a fondnel's for his native coun try, he has made ufe of the flowers it produced, tho', in order to exhibit them to the greater advantage, he has endeavoured to weave his garland by the belt mo del he could find with what fuccefs, beyond his own amufement, mull be left to judges lefs partial to him than either his acquaintance or his friends. - If any of thofe thould be fo candid as to approve the variety of fubje???ls he has chofen, and the tendernels of feti timent he has endeavoured to imprefs, he begs the me tre alfo may not be too fuddenly condemned. The public ear, habituated of late to a quicker meafure, may perhaps confider this as heavy and languid but an obje???lion of that kind may gradually lole its force, if this meafure fhould be allowed to fuit the nature of Elegy.
