Explore "Gray on Himself" by Thomas Gray on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Written in 1761, and Found in One of His Pocketbooks / Too poor for a bribe, and too proud to importune; / He had not the method of making a fortune; / Could love, and could hate, so was thought somewhat odd; / No very great wit, he believed in a God.
A place or a pension he did not desire, / But left church and state to Charles Townshend and Squire.
