EXPLANATORY NOTES, AND SIMILAR PASSAGES,

BY WILLIAM DODD, L.L.D.

LATE OF CLARE-HALL, CAMBRIDGE.

The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,

Doth glance from heav'n to earth, from earth to heav'n,

And, as imagination bodies forth

The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen

Turns them to fhape, and gives to airy nothing

A local habitation and a name. See Mid.Night's Dr. vol.1. p. 232.

IN THREE VOLUMES.

THE THIRD EDITION WITH LARGE ADDITIONS,

AND THE

AUTHOR'S LAST CORRECTIONS.

VOL. III.
