Johnson shook his head at these common-place funereal lines, and said to Garrick, 'I think, Davy, I can make a better. Then, stirring about his tea for a little while, in a state of meditation, he almost extempore produced the following verses: 'Philips, whose touch harmonious could remove The pangs of guilty power or hapless love; Rest here, distress'd by poverty no more, Here find that calm thou gav'st so oft before; Sleep, undisturb'd, within this peaceful shrine, Till angels wake thee with a note like thine!
Then did Shooba and I, who thus had undisturb'd Access to my Aunt's room, work swiftly until Dawn. Three nights and a half night did we two work, before our Task was compleat'd, the Kernell's filch'd from the Nuts, and the Empty Shells left for my lady's adorning of herself at my lord's birth-night Ball. Oh, 't was a rare, rare Jest! I laugh'd and old Shooba laugh'd.
Besides, it is worthy our Notice, that this Province has been settled, and continued the most free from the Insults and Barbarities of the Indians, of any Colony that was ever yet seated in America; which must be esteem'd as a particular Providence of God handed down from Heaven, to these People; especially, when we consider, how irregularly they settled North-Carolina, and yet how undisturb'd they have ever remain'd, free from any foreign Danger or Loss, even to this very Day.
The broken sleep excites Fresh pain, increased distress; The quiet slumber undisturb'd Soothes pain and restlessness. Sleep is the gift of God: Oh! bear these words at heart, 'He giveth His beloved sleep, And gently do thy part." London: Jarrold and Sons.
No ripple on the slumbering lake Unhallow'd oar doth ever make; All undisturb'd, the placid wave Flows gently o'er Macarthy's grave.
The Minster bell tolls out Above the city's rout And noise and humming They've stopp'd the chiming bell, I hear the organ's swell She's coming, she's coming! My lady comes at last, Timid and stepping fast, And hastening hither, With modest eyes downcast. She comes she's here she's past. May Heaven go with her! Kneel undisturb'd, fair saint, Pour out your praise or plaint Meekly and duly.
Philip Neve's indignant protest is only good in the general, and that Milton's "hallowed reliques" still "rest undisturb'd within their peaceful shrine." I have adduced this instance to serve as an example of what I condemn, and should, in any actual case, denounce as strongly as Mr. Philip Neve or George Steevens.
