Odes of Anacreon
(1800).
Translated Into English Verse. With Notes
To His Royal Highness
The Prince of Wales
SIR,—In allowing me to dedicate this Work to Your Royal Highness, you have conferred upon me an honor which I feel very sensibly: and I have only to regret that the pages which you have thus distinguished are not more deserving of such illustrious patronage.
Believe me, SIR,
With every sentiment of respect,
Your Royal Highness’s
Very grateful and devoted Servant,
THOMAS MOORE.
