Before again recurring to Gray's partiality for the poems of Cowley, I will make a remark or two on Mr. Wakefield's edition of Gray.
In his delightful "Ode to Adversity" Gray has written:
"Daughter of Jove, relentless power, Thou tamer of the human breast, Whose _iron scourge, and tort'ring hour_, The bad affright, afflict the best."
Upon which Wakefield gives us this brilliant criticism:
"'Torturing hour.' There seems to be some little impropriety and incongruity in this. _Consistency_ of figure rather required some _material_ image, like _iron scourge_ and _adamantine chain_."
