"Say to what friendly Aid we owe / Those Gleams that in the Mind's fair Mirror play."

— Travers, H. (f. 1730)

Date: 1773

"Think'st thou, had Fancy's mirror struck his sight, / And brought thy too degenerate deeds to light; / Had shewn thee curst to such a vicious race, / Whose very breath contaminates the place: / How would his manly heart with grief have died / T'have seen this fatal barrier to his pride?"
