_Resistless burns the_ fever of renown,
_Caught_ from the strong contagion of the gown.
Mr. Boswell tells us, that when he remarked to Dr. Johnson, that
there was an awkward repetition of the word spreads in this passage,
he altered it to "Burns from the strong contagion of the gown;" but
this expression, it appears, was only resumed from the reading in
the first edition.
[o] There is a tradition, that the study of friar Bacon, built on an
arch over the bridge, will fall, when a man greater than Bacon shall
pass under it. To prevent so shocking an accident, it was pulled
down many years since.
[p] And sloth's _bland_ opiates _shed_ their fumes in vain.
[q] The _garret_ and the gaol.
[r] See Gent. Mag. vol. lxviii. p. 951, 1027.
[s] This was first written, "See, when the vulgar scap_ed_;" but,
as the rest of the paragraph was in the present tense, he altered it
to scape_s_; but again recollecting that the word _vulgar_
is never used as a singular substantive, he adopted the reading of
the text.
[t] Ver. 133--146.
