London. where all Letters to the Editor are particularly desired to be addressed, POST-PAID THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, For AUGUST, Mr. URBAN, Shrewsbury, Aug. 5. TH HE enclosed inscriptions adorn the rural retreat of John F. M. Dovaston, esq. "THE NURSERY," West-Felton, near Oswestry, in the county of Salop. The late John Dovaston, esq. (see your Vol. LXXVIII. pp. 563, 564), by whom this Villa was erected and embellished, was the intimate friend of the Poet Shenstone, and from him he probably first imbibed a fondness for rural elegance; he bas certainly evinced much Shenstonian taste in ornamenting his grounds, and some scenes are truly Leasowish. Yours, &c. D. PARKES. Over the entrance of PAN'S TEMPLE. Supported on Six Rustic Pillars. Sacred to PAN. Si Deus nobiscum, quis contra nos? On the Inside. North. Welcome, peaceful, calm retreat! Far from common ills of Fate, Welcome joys before unknown; Ev'ry pleasure, ev'ry blessing, Ev'ry bliss that's worth possessing, Here delights, and here alone. Let aspiring minds pursue Dangerous greatness, gilded woe, Tortur'd with ambitious care. Here, such empty dreams despising, Far from falling as from rising, I avoid the tempting snare. Heaps of wealth amass'd in vain Give the sordid Miser pain, Waking, dread his bosom rends: But Content my wishes bounding, And soft Peace my bed surrounding, Balmy sleep my call attends. Fraud and envy, grief and fear, Breed no dire confusion here; Exil'd from the guilty town, In the same Temple. West. 1815. In a Bower of Box. I love my little boxen bower, The climbing sunbeams shed their sheen Or prove no meaner magic reigns On the Cyder-mill. Nee Pomona ferax nobiscum habitare recusat. Cæcubam, et prælo domitam Caleno, Mr. URBAN, THE HORACE. August 9. HE following Letter, which, after seeing and admiring it, as the I had ever met with, was lost to me best production against Duelling that for several years, at length was found in a book which has become scarce. I therefore transcribe it for you, that others may enjoy an advantage for which I long wished in vain, that of possessing so powerful a performance. It is said to be written by Alexander Robinson, Esq. a man who had been much distinguished for courage in military service, to a friend of his, whose name was Walter Smyth, in consequence of a challenge received from him. Yours, &c. (Copy.) A. N. "Sir,-I must absolutely decline the Challenge you sent me yesterday by Robin, and frankly acknowledge I dare not fight you. I am very sensible the world in general will call this cowardice, and that the odious appellation of Scoundrel will be given me in every Coffee |
