Funeral Poem upon the Death of the late Noble Earl of Devonshire.—"WELL-LANGUAGED DANIEL,” as BROWNE calls him in his “Brittania's Pastorals," was one of Southey's favourite Poets. JOHN WOOD WARTÉR. 812 paring the sheets for the press, added a few notes on difficult and doubtful passages or expressions, but on consideration I crossed them ont.
