Evidence:

'Since writing it, I have found in a poem by Hamilton of Bangour, these 2 lines to happiness

Nun sober and devout, where art thou fled
To hide in shades thy meek contented head

Lines eminently beautiful, but I do not remember having re'd 'em previously, for the credit of my 10th and 11th lines.'
