Excerpt from The Practical Works of the Reverend Ralph Erskine, A. M , Vol. 10 of 10: Consisting of His Sermons and Poems Poetical compositions, it will readily admitted, are of a very antient original, and very early specimens of this kind of writing are yet to be found on record, both in sacred and profane story. - Writings in poesy have many peculiar excellencies in them, and particular advantages attending them: and when men, endued with poetical talents, employ them on subjects of real importance, the sparkling and flowery images, the magnificent and lofty expressions, and the striking figures and retorical embellishments, add such a native grandeur, dignity, and majesty to the subject, that the mind is not only truly elevated, the attention gained, the affections moved, and devotion excited, but the memory is gradually prepared to retain and be benefited by them, on account of the beautiful and elegant manner in which the various topics are elucidated.
