- To Chloe in The Gentleman’s Magazine, Vol. X, 1740; triumph (p.462; verse for triumph quote, author indicated as "L." in G’Mag.) [BKG Note: see the text of the poem below.]
- Translation of Virgil Distich, proposed for translation Gentleman's Magazine, Vol. XIII, 1748, p. 228. Attempts on pp. 228, 279, 280 (80) but share in a Logie translation was not found; share (Dict.: "All night it rains, the shews return with day; Great Jove with Cæsar shares his sov’reign sway.) [BKG Note: Two "L.A." translations on p. 279; the closest is "All night it rains, gay sports return with day; With Jove thus Cæsar holds divided sway." Perhaps SJ's memory mixed this with a translation by J. Sackette on the following page: "It rains all night, the shows return with day; Jove and great Cæsar bear alternate sway." Thanks to E. Lorraine De Montluzin, sponsor of https://www.gmpoetrydatabase.org for pointing out that while SJ may have remembered these as Logie, the attribution appears uncertain. Also, I notice that the poem immediately above is signed "L."]
- Logie (no work cited); resistless (Dict.: "Though thine eyes resistless glances dart, A stronger charm is thine, a generous heart.")
To C H L O E. L.
IF fools admire, or whining coxcombs toaſt,
The vain coquets the trifling triumphs boaſt ;
Proud to enſlave, they roll their conqu'ring eyes,
Fond of the fame, tho' careleſs of the prize :
A nobler fame be gen’rous Chloe's care!
Empow'r'd to wound, how glorious 'tis to ſpare !
