- The poet received a letter written in verse from a friend, also a snuff-box. he sent the following reply:-
Dear James, - with pleasure I perused your rhyme
And 'tis entertaining, pleasing and sublime.
Your writing's fair, you speak correct and clear
And in your lines no blaring faults appear.
Obedient nature to your aid inclines
And lively diction sparkles in your lines.
Your style is plain and easily understood
And your muse conveys you through the vale and wood
To paint the forest and describe the glen
With your elastic, sweet attracting pen. And for the snuff-box you bestowed on me,
While I exist your humble friend I'll be,
But what avails my friendship now, dear James,
When adverse fate my poverty proclaims
A worthless outcast outside fortune's door
Beneath the slur of every purse-proud boor?But cease, my muse I will not carp or quail
Or entertain you with a plaintive tale;
Of fate or fortune I will not complain
But I'll recoil and praise the bor again.(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)- Bailitheoir
