ED. TO THE MEMORY OF RAISLEY CALVERT Composed 1806.--Published 1807 [This young man, Raisley Calvert, to whom I was so much indebted, died at Penrith, 1795.--I. F.] Classed among the "Miscellaneous Sonnets."--ED. Calvert! it must not be unheard by them Who may respect my name, that I to thee Owed many years of early liberty. This care was thine when sickness did condemn Thy youth to hopeless wasting, root and stem-- 5 That I, if frugal and severe, might stray Where'er I liked; and finally array My temples with the Muse's diadem. Hence, if in freedom I have loved the truth; If there be aught of pure, or good, or great, 10 In my past verse; or shall be, in the lays Of higher mood, which now I meditate;-- It gladdens me, O worthy, short-lived, Youth! To think how much of this will be thy praise.
