[48] It may interest the reader, who does not dive deep into literary
curiosities, to refer to the original edition of Hayley's "Cowper" (4to,
1803, vol. i. p. 314), where the poet, in a letter to Samuel Rose, Esq.,
written at Weston, August 18, 1788, alludes to his having "composed a
_spick_ and _span_ new piece called 'The Dog and the Water-lily;'" and
in his next letter, September 11, he sent this piece to his excellent
friend, the London barrister. Visitors to Olney and Weston, who have
gone over the poet's walks, cannot but have their love for the gentle
and afflicted Cowper most deeply _intensified_.--_See_ Miller's "First
Impressions."
