- Waller’s Life; Biographia Britannica: or, the lives of the most eminent persons who have flourished in Great Britain and Ireland, from the earliest ages, down ..., London, MDCCXLVII. [1747]. vol. Volume 6 of 7; quote under repeat is on p. 4112: "... repeated some verses out of Virgil, suitable to the occasion..." ; or Poems, &c. Written upon several Occasions, And to several Persons.The Eighth Edition, with Additions. To which is Prefix'd The Author's Life, London, 1711, . quote under repeat is on p. LVI: "... repeated some admirable verses out of Virgil, suitable to the occasion... "(Dict. quote: "lines," rather than "verses" in both sources). [BKG Note: I found nothing similar in Cibber's Lives of the Poets, 1753. Biographia Britannica gives the 1711 Life as a source] Both Biographia Britannica and the 1711 Poems Life are cited as sources for the SJ 1779 "Life of Waller" in Lives, Yale Vol. 21, p. 261. SJ paraphrases this quotation on p. 295 of Yale Vol. 21.
