For ever, Fortune, wilt thou prove - J. Thomson

136 For ever, Fortune, wilt thou prove
The one-hundred and thirty-sixth poem in the collection. (* additional details below)

NOTES FROM THE BACK OF THE BOOK:

Perhaps no writer who has given such strong proofs of the poetic nature has left less satisfactory poetry than Thomson. Yet he touched little which he did not beautify: and this song, with "Rule Britannia" and a few others, must make us regret that he did not more seriously apply himself to lyrical writing.
