- Notes
- Originally published as:
“Then let the mind your noblest care engage;-
Its beauties last beyond the flight of age.”
Miscellanies in Two Parts, published in Oxford, England 1829. This is an anthology and as Mavor first began writing in the 1790s, the text is probably printed in an earlier anthology..
