Synopsis
Bellisle, A Poem: Inscribed To Sir Ralph Gore, Bart. By William Balfour Madden. This 1761 verse is a dedication-poem attributed to the poet Drufus and addressed to Sir Ralph Gore, with a separate dedication to Lady Louisa Conolly. The work blends classical allusions with country-house praise, celebrating Bellisle’s landscape—lakes, hills, groves, and ornamental gardens—while alternating scenes of pastoral leisure, fishing on the inland waters, and a convivial banquet. The poem contrasts virtuous sociability and refined manners with Bacchanalian revelry, arguing that true felicity lies in virtue, good humor, and benevolent wit within a cultivated society. It also treats friendship and admiration as the highest aims, and frames the poet’s life as a choice of private integrity over public pomp. The piece exemplifies 18th-century English verse, imitating classical forms while addressing contemporaries such as Lady Louisa Conolly and Sir Ralph Gore.
