- 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 quoes 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."]
