But now!-forgive the conscious mufe,
That feels her verse too bold :-

What fashions modern Reverends use,

You need not here be told.—

Tho' new their tafte, while they adopt

Their good forefathers' ways,

The frizz'd, the curl'd, the bald, the cropt,
Have all their claim to praise.

AYE! Honefty's a jewel," RICHARD cry'd, "That shines the clearer ftill, the more 'tis try'd.” "True, DICK," quoth JEREMY-" yourself may

"fhew it,

"Your honefty's fo clear we all fee through it."

ANOTHER.

SPLENDEAT USU.

SEE! ftretch'd on nature's couch of grass,

The foot fore traveller lies!

Vaft treasures let the great amass;

A leathern pouch, and burning glass,

For all his wants fuffice.

For him the fun it's power displays,
In either hemisphere;

Pours on VIRGINIA's coaft it's blaze,
Tobacco for his pipe to raise;
And fhines to light it-HERE!

ANOTHER.

SPLENDEAT USU.

WHEN all, a people for a KING can feel,

Burst into voice,-an unifon of zeal,

The QUEEN fo long rever'd, and lov'd fo well, Heard the glad theme the general fhout employ; And 'midst the thunders of affectionate joy, Dropt a warm tear, that sparkled as it fell.

But oft, if right the Mufe the future read,
Will fimilar praife, to fimilar feelings lead,

While Virtues like her own, her name endear;

Th' effect is but proportion'd to the cause;
Her tear will still do honour to applause,
And new applauses still call forth her tear.

CORRIGE SODES.

If matters have been stated ill,

In Chancery you may mend your bill:
But mending bills, three times in four,
Is only giving fcope for more:
When legal flaws keep fuits depending,
'Tis the bill-maker, that wants mending!

CORRIGE SODES.

THE RUSSIAN husbands, as we 're told,

Their wives to due correction hold,

Whene'er they act or judge ill :-"Love me and love my dog," we cry; But their rough discipline feems to imply, "Love me, and love my cudgel."

ANOTHER.

CORRIGE SODES.

To our ruin point-blank," quoth the Patriot,

66 we run;

"Whether doing or undoing, both ways undone ; "And Government nods to it's fall:"

But whatever we rifque, or whatever we lose, Let the Patriot but ftand in the Minister's fhoes, And that fingle amendment-mends all!

CORRIGE SODES.

MANKIND, tho' fatirifts with jobations weary us,

Has only two weak parts, if fairly reckon'd; The first of which is -trifling with things serious; And seriousness in trifles - is the fecond:

Remove these little rubs, whoe'er knows how,
And fools will be as fcarce-as wife men now!

ANOTHER.

CORRIGE SODES.

EXPERT phyfiognomists teach us to trace

All another's defects in the lines of his face,
By infallible rules, if we mind 'em :

But methinks, with refpect to the faults of our neighbour,

'Twould be much better worth a philofopher's

labour,

Could he cure us-of looking to find 'em!
