_"Could we with ink," &c._--Could you, or any of your numerous and able
correspondents, inform me who is the _bonâ fide_ author of the following
lines?--
"Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the heavens of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade;
To write the love of God above,
Would drain the ocean dry;
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky."
