1. Advertisement2. Hymns and Sacred Poems, 17393. The Preface4. Eupolis’ Hymn to the Creator Wesley inserted this poem in “Moral and Sacred Poems,” vol. 3, p.3, assigning it to his father as its author. He also reprinted it in the first volume of the Arminian Magazine. When the Monthly Reviewers disparaged Methodist hymns, he transcribed fifty lines of it, and sent them with a remonstrance against the criticism. (Works, 3rd edition, vol. 13, pp.345-349.) In some editions the verses are headed “From the Greek;” but Dr. Clarke has shown that this is an error. The copy printed in his “Wesley Family” contains eighty-four additional lines; but Wesley never published more than are given here.5. Solitude6. The Mystery of Life7. Epitaph8. Virtue9.
