Of the INNER TEMPLE, Esq.

IN TWO VOLUMES.

VOL I.

Sicut aquæ tremulum labris ubi lumen ahenis
Sole repercuffum. aút radiantis imagine lunæ,
Omnia pervolitat latè loca, jamque fub auras
Erigitur, fummique ferit laquearia tecti.

VIRG. EN. VIII,

So water trembling in a polish'd vase,
Reflects the beam that plays upon its face,
The fportive light, uncertain where it falls,
Now ftrikes the roof, now flashes on the walls.
