TO Sir CHAREES SEDLEY.

1 BUt stay 'tis Sedley and it were a crime
2 For me to grasp a Subject so sublime:
3 Since nothing but his own Coelestial lays
4 Are fit the Authour of such flights to praise,
5 Nor dare my thoughts make the unequal choice
6 My Infant-muse has yet, but try'd her tender voice.
