NOTES
DR. JOHNSON AND DR. WARTON.
Amongst the poems of the Rev. Thos. Warton, vicar of Basingstoke, who is best remembered as the father of two celebrated sons, is one entitled The Universal Love of Pleasure, commencing—
"All human race, from China to Peru,
Pleasure, howe'er disguised by art, pursue."
&c. &c.
Warton died in 1745, and his Poems were published in 1748.
Johnson's Vanity of Human Wishes appeared in 1749; but Boswell believes that it was composed in the preceding year. That Poem, as we well remember, commences thus tamely:—
"Let observation with extensive view,
Survey Mankind from China to Peru."
Though so immeasurably inferior to his own, Johnson may have noticed these verses of Warton's with some little attention, and unfortunately borrowed the only prosaic lines in his poem. Besides the imitation before quoted, both writers allude to Charles of Sweden. Thus Warton says,—
"'Twas hence rough Charles rush'd forth to ruthless war."
Johnson, in his highly finished picture of the same monarch, says,—
"War sounds the trump, he rushes to the field."
