But see where artful DRYDEN next appears, Grown old in rhyme, but charming even in years! Great DRYDEN next! whose tuneful Muse affords The sweetest numbers and the fittest words.

Whether in comic sounds or tragic airs

She forms her voice, she moves our smiles or tears.
If satire or heroic strains she writes,

Her hero pleases, and her satire bites.

From her no harsh unartful numbers fall;

She wears all dresses, and she charms in all.

ADDISON.
