'Tis epigram, 'tis point, 'tis what you will ;
But not an elegy, nor writ with skill,
No Panegyrick, nor a Cooper's Hill.

Who would not fuppofe that Waller's Panegyrick and Denham's Cooper's Hill were Elegies?

His verses are often infipid; but his memoirs are lively and agreeable; he had the perfpicuity and elegance of an historian, but not the fire and fancy of a poet.
