For Worth fo thron'd, fuch popular Union fhown!And popular Union's zeal, perpetuate fuch a Throne! ANOTHER. Καλα πεφαλαιο THRO' the ftreets, on May-day, you have seen, without doubt, In footy proceffion, a chimney-sweep rout, With a garland of bushes parade; Dreft in barrister's three-tail'd perukes from Ragfair, With lac'd coats, and lac'd hats, all of gilt paper ware, And chalk-paint on their chubby cheeks laid. Thus gaily bedight, they jump jigs at your door; And a concert of fhovel and brush goes before! If ever you laugh, you to laugh must be stirr'd, With fo trifling advantage in view : But fhould you advise, with however grave face, Any one to abandon his music and lace, He would laugh as profufely, at you! In comparative importance, thro' life's whole career, We are all, to ourselves,-that we think we appear! ANOTHER. Καλα πεφαλαιο WHY fleeps, benumb'd, th' accomplish'd mind, When focial good craves virtue's zeal ? Whoe'er can benefit mankind, Is Heaven's trustee, for human weal. To hide true worth from public view, But all that is gold—ought to shine! ANOTHER. Καλα πεφανίαι. ONCE every year, an infant band, Whom public charity's foft'ring hand Hath led to truths divine, Beneath one roof arrang'd to raise Say where befide has harmony found In fuch a group, so sweet a found? Say, where befide does earth unite With found fo fweet-fo rich a fight? ANOTHER. Καλα πεφάναι. MARK, how the expiring taper's rays, Their radiance to protract, Shoot into momentary blaze, And perish, in the act! So, when in mortal agony's thrall, Departing Virtue lies, Brief bursts of splendour grace its fall! It sparkles - as it dies! London: Printed by A. Strahan, Printers Street. |
