then in the hands of the enemy, they buried this Pruffian 
hero with all military honours : the governor, a great num¬ 
ber of the Ruffian officers, the magiftrates of the city, with 
the profeffiors and the (Indents, formed the proceffion, pre¬ 
ceded by the funeral mufic. Kleid’s poems, which are great¬ 
ly admired, are elegantly printed in the German tongue, in 
s vols. 8vo. The piece upon which reputation chiefly reds 
i: ' is popular poem entitled “Spring,’’ which appeared for 
t’ firft time in 1749, at a period, when, notwithftanding the 
different attempts that had been made in that way, many 
dill doubted whether the German language was fufcepti- 
ble of that harmony and fmoothnefs which Kleid was en¬ 
abled to give it. On account of this poem, he was called 
the imitator of Thomlon ; but at that time he had not 
ftudied the works of that poet. He is reckoned, in this 
piece particularly, to excel in painting the fweet and 
beautiful fcenes of nature, in a dyle Angularly elegant 
anil harmonious, and free from all didiiefs and turgidity. 
An Italian tranflation of this poem by Tagliazuchi ap¬ 
peared in 1755, and a French, by Iluber, in 3760. Two 
Latin verfions of it were likewife publidied 5 one by G.L. 
Spalding, fon of the profeffor, and another by J.F. Diet- 
rich, in 1787.
