Samuel Johnson

A dictionary of the English language

[Lyrical. Lyrick]

LYR'ICAL. LY'RIC. adj. [lyricus, Latin; lyrique, French.] Pertaining to an harp, or to odes or poetry sung to an harp; singing to an harp.

All his trophies hung and acts enroll'd
In copious legend, or sweet lyrick song. Milton's Agonist.

Somewhat of the purity of English, somewhat of more equal thoughts,
somewhat of sweetness in the numbers; in one word, somewhat of a
finer turn, and more lyrical verse, is yet wanting. Dryden.

The lute neglected, and the lyrick muse,
Love taught my tears in sadder notes to flow,
And tun'd my heart to elegies of woe. Pope.
