4005 Samuel Johnson 1709-1784 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:4005
AUTHOR:Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
QUOTATION:Philips, whose touch harmonious could remove
The pangs of guilty power and hapless love!
Rest here, distress’d by poverty no more;
Here find that calm thou gav’st so oft before;
Sleep undisturb’d within this peaceful shrine,
Till angels wake thee with a note like thine!
