GRAY ON HIMSELF.

Too poor for a bribe, and too proud to importune,

He had not the method of making a fortune;

Could love and could hate, so was thought something odd;

No very great wit, he believed in a God;

A post or a pension he did not desire,

But left church and state to Charles Townshend and Squire.
