Excerpt from book: had been the author. His blunders would not have turned out to his advantage: nor could there have been more fenfe in the lines, than in the head, which conceived them. In mort, chance could never have fo contrived, that the poetry fhould be better than the purpofe. Many of the terms ufed by Rowley may be authenticated from the county dialects, which prevail at this day.
