Samuel Boyce (died 1775), was an English engraver and poet. ==Life== Boyce was originally an engraver, and subsequently worked in the South Sea House. He published one play, entitled ''The Rover, or Happiness at Last, a dramatic pastoral'' (1752), which was never performed. In its preface, he claimed that this was due to its length, and not to its lack of merit. In 1757, he published ''Poems on Several Occasions'', which included an ode entitled ''Glory'', addressed to the Duke of Cumberland, and a heroic poem in two cantos, dedicated to David Garrick, called ''Paris, or the Force of Beauty''. The frontispiece, engraved by Boyce himself, was an allegorical scene depicting "Fortune obstructing the Genius of Poetry in its ascent to the Temples of Learning and Fame". He was a friend of Christopher Smart, and published a poem in praise of Smart's ''Song to David'' in the ''Public Advertiser'' in July 1763. He died 21 March 1775. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Samuel Boyce」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
