'Sir Gilbert [the first Earl Minto] was indeed a man among a thousand. I knew him very
intimately at the beginning of the century [...] He loved the Muses and worshipd them in
secret and used to read some of [his] poetry which was but middling. One upon a walk with
his lady which involved certain conclusions (most delicately couchd) but which it is not usual
to allude [to].' |
