INEDITED POEM BT POPE. 



In an original letter from James Boaden to 

 Northcote the artist, I find the following passage ; 

 and I add to it the verses to which allusion is 

 therein made : 



" 60. Warren Street, Fitzroy Square. 

 " 28th August, 1827. 

 " My dear friend, 

 " The verses annexed are so fine, that you should 

 put them into your copy of Pope, among the Mis- 

 cellanies. Dr. Warburton received them too late 

 for his edition of our poet, and I find them only in 

 a letter from that prelate to Dr. Hurd, dated 

 ' Prior Park, June 24th, 1765.' 



" I have used the freedom to mark a few of the 

 finest touches with a pencil, to show you mt/ feel- 

 ing. These you can rub out easily, and after- 

 wards indulge your own. The style of interro- 

 gation seems to have revived in Gray's Elegy. 

 Hurd would send the verses to Mason as soon as 

 he got them ; and Mason and Gray, as you know, 

 were one in all their studies. 

 " I do not forget the Fables. 



" Yours, my dear friend, always, 



" J. BoADEN. 



" J. Northcote, Esq." 



Not having by me any modern edition of Pope's 

 Works, may I ask whether these verses, thus 

 transcribed for Northcote by his friend Boaden, 

 have yet been introduced to the public ? 



Verses ly Mr. Pope, on the late Dean of Carlisle's 

 {Dr. Bolton) having written and published a 

 Paper to the Memory of Mrs. Butler, of Sussex, 

 Mother to old Lady Blount of Twickenham. 



[They are supposed to be spoken by the deceased 

 lady to the author of that paper, which drew her 

 character.] 



" Stript to the naked soul, escaped from clay. 

 From doubts unfetter'd, and dissolved in day; ' 

 Unwarm'd by vanity, unreach'd by strife. 

 And all my hopes and fears thrown off with life; 

 Why am I charm'd by Friendship's fond essays, 

 And tho' unbodied, conscious of thy praise ?
