Author of the Flora Londinensis.
| "The spleen is seldom felt where Flora reigns; |
| The low'ring eye, the petulance, the frown, |
| And sullen sadness, that o'ershade, distort, |
| And mar the face of beauty, when no cause |
| For such immeasurable woe appears; |
| These Flora banishes, and gives the fair |
| Sweet smiles and bloom, less transient than her own." |
