ord Radcliffe succeeded to his father in 1696-7, and died 29th April,1705. [19] These lines are quoted from Lord Dorset's address "to MrEdward Howard, on his incomparable, incomprehensible poem, called, TheBritish Princes:" Wit, like tierce claret, when it 'gins to pall,Neglected lies, and's of no use at all;But, in its full perfection of decay,Turns vinegar, and comes again in play.
