Synopsis
Excerpt from Ode: Inscribed to John Howard, Esq. F. R. S., Author of "the State of English and Foreign Prisons;"
Fav'rite of Heaven, and friend of Earth
Philanthropy, benignant Power
Whose sons display no doubtful worth,
The pageant of the passing hour
Teach me to paint, in deathless song,
Some darling from thy silial throng,
Whose deeds no party-rage inspire.
But fill th' agreeing world with one desire,
To echo his renown, responsive to my lyre
