Robert Southey to Grosvenor Charles Bedford, c. 23 October 1795, 'Have you seen the Mæviad? the poem is not equal to the former production of the same author — but the spirit of panegyric is more agreable than that of satire & I love the man for his lines to his own friends. there is an imitation of Otium Divos very eminently beautiful. Merry has been satyrized enough too much & praised too much — his taste is debauched but he is a man of Genius.'
