text_original: Dryden, in his "Absalom and Achitophel," says of the Earl of Shaftesbury, David for him his tuneful harp had strung, _And Heaven had wanted one immortal song_. This verse was ringing in the ear of Pope, when with equal modesty and felicity he adopted it in addressing his friend Dr. Arbuthnot.
