Grocott & Ward, comps. Grocott’s Familiar Quotations, 6th ed. 189-?.

Jemmy Dawson

Though justice ever must prevail,
The tear my Kitty sheds is due;
For seldom shall she hear a tale
So sad, so tender, yet so true.
Shenstone.—Jemmy Dawson, Verse 20.

Or Gallus’ song, so tender and so true,
As e’vn Lycoris might with pity view.
Roscommon.—On Translated Verse, Line 23.
