Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Robert Southey, Vol. 3: With a Memoir of the Author In a former Preface my obligations to Akenside were acknowledged, with especial reference to the Hymn to the Penates, the earliest of my Inscriptions also originated in the pleasure with which I perused those of this favourite author. Others of a later date bear a nearer resemblance to the general character of Chiabrera's epitaphs. Those which relate to the Peninsular War are part of a series which I once hoped to have completed. The epitaph for Bishop Butler was originally composed in the lapidary style, to suit the monument in Bristol Cathedral: it has been remodelled here, that I might express myself more at length, and in a style more accordant with my own judgement. One thing remains to be explained, and I shall then have said all that it becomes me to say concerning these Minor Poems.
