GRAY ON HIMSELF.

Tobias George Smollett

Too poor for a bribe, and too proud to importune, He had not the method of making a fortune; Could love and could hate, so was thought something odd; No very great wit, he believed in a God;

A post or a pension he did not desire, But left church and state to Charles Townshend and Squire.
