To The Hon. Thomas Erskine

ON HEARING HIM ELOQUENTLY AND SUCCESSFULLY PLEAD THE CAUSE OF A POOR MAN, WHICH HE HAD UNDERTAKEN GRATIS: DURING THE SUMMER ASSISES, ON THE HOME CIRCUIT, AT C ROYDON .

P ERSUASIVE Advocate ! whose matchless art,
Alike can charm the ear, and move the heart;
In thee we see, pourtray'd in colours true,
The Character immortal T ULLY drew:
Virtuous as eloquent, thy feeling breast,
Prompts thee to aid the indigent distress'd,
Whose honest heart shall with a grateful tear
Reward thy talents, and thy worth revere.
