Composer: William Jackson (of Exeter) (1730 - 1803)
Forces: S./T.2Vn.Continuo
Lyrics: Alexander Pope
Jackson was a pupil of John Travers, and wrote canzonets and elegies after the model established by Travers, close to, but separate from, the glee tradition. He was organist of Exeter Cathedral and a theorist on music. A friend of Thomas Gainsborough, he corresponded with him on the subject of aesthetics.
Jackson later expanded the harmonization of this song from his Op. 4, and recast it as a glee.
