- Solitude, an Ode, by Dr. Grainger in A collection of poems in six volumes. By several hands. [Volume 4 of 6], 1763, London: Printed by J. Hughs, for R. and J. Dodsley; coy; thaw [BKG Note: both added to 1773 Dict. from the same stanza, p.229 of this title; SJ quotes one line under coy and quotes most of the first stanza of the poem under thaw, leaving out two lines and making minor word changes; Boswell reports that, in 1777, SJ praises this poem as it appeared in Dodsley's Collection, quotes this stanza "with great energy" and pronounces it "very noble." Grainger's translation of Tibullus, which Boswell reports SJ thinking "very well done" is lot 47 in The Sale Catalogue of SJ's library; per Fleeman, lot 47 was purchased by Charles Burney.]
