Just men, by whom impartial laws were given;
And saints who taught and led the way to heaven.

On the Death of Mr. Addison (1721)

Nor e'er was to the bowers of bliss conveyed
A fairer spirit or more welcome shade.

On the Death of Mr. Addison (1721)

There patient show'd us the wise course to steer,
A candid censor, and a friend severe;
There taught us how to live; and (oh! too high
The price for knowledge) taught us how to die.
