Montague. rOPE AND DfftYDEN H;;J 5 T2ie following beautiful parallel between these two illustrious vptarie3 of the muse, is -from, the pen f the eelebrated Doctor Johnson, and though nearly a century has elapsed ;sine it was" writtenj vet we conceive thatit still retains a sufficient nor tion or its original Bpirit, smoothness and affluence of sty te to gratify the taste of many of our readers: Pope profes?ed to hay . learned bis pej--try from Dryden,. whom, whenever ap jpportunity was. presented, he praised ilirough his vh:ole life with unvaried iheraiityj and perhaps His character ma receive some illustration, if he be com pared with his master. ; ' Integrity of un lerstanding and.nicelv of discetnment were not allotted in a less proportion tDryden than toPopel-'I b pclitude of Dryden's mind wassufTicient tyishown by the dismission of his poetical prejudices, and the re jection of unnatural ihoiirhjs & rugged numbers. Hut Dryden never '-desired to apply all the judgement .that lie had. lie wrote and professed to write, tnerely for "the people ; and wheil heph?asetl others, he conteVited himselfJ. He spentlno tjmp in strugglesj to rousp; latent powprs; hfe never aftempte'd to; make thai better vhich was already good nor often -to menfl whaj, he racist have; knovn to de faulty. He wrote, as he; tells us, with . very little consideration: when occasion or necessity called upon! him, he poured out what the present mo ment happened Jo supply, and when; oncejitdiad; passed the press, ejected it from his mild; for, whephe had no pe cuniary interest he had no fprther soli- CILIIUU. ;. ; . ; . Pope w"as not content to. satisfy; he desired tp excel; and therefore always endeavored to dii his best; he did not court -the j candour, but dared the judg ment, of fiis reader, and, expecting nr indulgence from others, he shewed nom. to himself, lie examined Jin.es aip' Hvords (with minute andpunctiliious ob 1. 'rv:'t' ionj and retouched every part will Ihdefatijahle djliirence, ( till he had deft t i iiotlmnn to be lorffivett. be forgive in. ' .. ' ,I'"r t!'-is rea?on he kept his pieces very , I . 1, 1 I I vn ti 111 5 honr! I mg'in his hands, while, he considered i'id reconsidered them. The only oeins vhich (can be supposed to haye.been vritieni with such regard to thetimes a- might: hasten their publication, .were the wo satires of Thirty-eight;". of which Dodsfey fold me that' they were brouglst 10 him by; the author, that they minhi hpf (airly copied. K'A!mbst every line" ie said," '.'was then writien twice O' er; l:Jjave hi i)l a clean transcript, w hich he were the io.t some lime afterwards to me, tor the pr; wl,ralinp)st pvety line j wrilten iwicO;Ovef a, spcopd jtitne." - 5 ,- His declaration, tbat!hi. care for his works ceased: at their publication,; was imt strictly true. . i His parental atttiiitioti never! aban bmed them; what he found 1 miss rectP( iears freed iin the first edition,; he silently por- 111 tiiose that followed.' He ap- t! have rpvised the "Iliad," and it from Eivne of its imperfections; ;md the; "Essay on Gritirism'"f received nanyl improvements after its first ap pearance. It will. seldom be fbundthat he altered witno.uj addintf cleaniess,!tde; iTance, or vl;or. Pope had perhaps the judjrinent .jf Dryden; hu' Uryden cer laiidyj wanted the diligence of Pope In ;acquired khowletlge, the ; superi ority must be allowed to Dryden, wdiiose education was more scholastic, and who before h became an author had b' en 1- Inivpil mrirn time for study, uith betteV neans of information ! His mind has a larrp'rraVijre,-and he'&ollects his ; images and illustrations from a more extensive cii cuniference of science.
