''Poems Descriptive and Moral: Consisting of Imitations, Translations, Pastorals, Narrations'' is a collection of poems written by Thomas May and published in 1791. The book is divided into four sections, each containing a different type of poem. The first section includes imitations of famous poets such as Milton and Dryden, while the second section consists of translations of works by Virgil and Horace. The third section contains pastorals, which are poems that depict rural life and nature, while the fourth section includes narrations, which are stories told in verse form. The poems in this collection are both descriptive and moral, meaning that they not only paint vivid pictures of their subjects but also impart important lessons or values to the reader. May’s writing style is characterized by its elegance and sophistication, and his use of classical themes and references gives his work a timeless quality. Overall, ''Poems Descriptive and Moral'' is a significant work of poetry from the late 18th century, showcasing May’s skill as a writer and his ability to create works that are both beautiful and meaningful.And Various Reflections On The Beauties Of Nature, Etc.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
