Event Comment: LLondon Daily Post and General Advertiser, 25 Feb. contained the following verses: Hearing Mr Handel's Samson at Covent Garden. Rais'd by his subject Milton nobly flew And all Parnassus open'd to our view; By Milton fir'd Great Handel strikes our ear, And every power of harmony we hear. When two such mighty artists blend their fire Pour forth each Charm that Genius can inspire The man whose bosom does not raptures feel, Must have no soul, or all his heart be steel
