I owe it to his care- His faithful hand (Regardless of the frowns he might incur "From me, then madly eager after death)

ELEGIAC ODE.

I.

**Snatch'd me, reluctant, from approaching A Scend, my mufe, and feek a loftier strain,

"flames,

Ready to fieze and burn unquenchable. "May richest Grace reward his pious zeal With fome bright manfion in this world of "blifs."

Tranfporting thought! O, then be bleft the hand

Who form'd my elemental clay to man! And ftill fupports me!'Tis well worth to live,

If I may live to purposes fo great! Awake my dormant zeal! for ever flame With generous ardours for immortal fouls! Souls, with CHRIST'S blood, God's dear, beft jewel, bought.

Rich gem! th'exhausted treasury of heav'n.
Be mine the blifs that random to apply!·
And may my head, my tongue, my heart, my
all,

Spend, and be spent, in service so divine.

THE FADING ROSE,

Or SYLVIA inftructed.

BLuming, gay, but prickly Rofe,

Emblem, true, of human woes: Emblem too of all the joys That our forrows counterpoife. Pierc'd thou ftand'st with thorny darts; Such the blifs of human hearts. Short thy beauty, (deck'd fo fine) Fully blown; thy fweets decline. Mine's the fplendour of an hour, Like to thine, fweet fading flow'r!

Man impatient will not stop,
Thee, but opening, he must crop:
Canker, infects, ftorms of hail
Thy frail body oft affail.

Foes like thefe should't thou escape,
Time is fure to mar thy shape.
In full bloom I view'd thee laft,
Now I fee thy prime is paft;
Thou who wert so fresh, so gay,
Ne'er wilt fee thy yesterday.
What to-morrow thou fhalt be
I fhall ne'er more prize to fee.

From thy fate I'll strive to learn
What may most my weal concern ;
Youth and beauty will decay,
Time and death call foon away.
Charms enduring I will feek,

Which outvie the blooming cheek. Charms, which all internal are;

Charms, which make old age e'en fair.
Virtue, like her fifter Truth,
Bloffoms in immortal youth.
Briftol, Stokes Croft,
July 2, 1755

Not all in fhrubs and Tamarisks delight;
Sing now the dangers of the fairy train
That met in manfion-house to pass the night
In fong and dance, and jocund revelry—
But ah! no earthly joys can ever certain be!
II.

Sing how did there the gay affembly meet;
Affift me parent of the crooked lyre,
Like Hermes dreft with wings at head and feet,
Affift me, and thy poet's breaft inspire;
For there were lyres and flutes and harp and
fiddle,

And fome fung toll-de-roll, & fome squeak'd tweedle diddle.

III. Some dæmon fure, that lucklefs evening, happ'd

Fly out o'er N-b-ry, to take the air: He faw the dancing-room all mopp'd and fwept,

Ods me! quoth he, "What doings have we here!

[ocr errors]

This sneaking town attempts to ape the

court?

But, truft me, I'll for this time fpoil their sport.

JV.

So faid, so done; at fix, that fatal night, The west wind blows; who dufk and horror brings.

He veils his face, of darkness and affright, While torrents spout from his fhow'r-dripping wings;

What terrors now attend the hapless fair! For all the town affords but one poor paultry chair.

V.

But now, poft-chaifes all the nymphs requir'd,

Some from St. George, and from our good
King's Arms;

But in the town all vehicles are hired-
Yet females to the ball-room run in swarms.
The school, that morn, on all machines did
feize,

One chaife could well contain seven small
young Belles with ease.
VI.

But think not yet their happiness fecure:
And lend an ear attentive while I fing
The perils of thofe maids, who dar'd endure
The evils rain on bruffels-heads might bring;
(For, not the heaviest rain, with lightning

join'd,

Can make one real woman change her mind.)

VII.

Now 'gan the dances, by our Gallic foes
J. N. Contriv'd; when, lo! a mighty crash is heard,

La-vi-re.

Tho' you hid her, ye deities! up in the fkies, As an object too glorious for meer mortal eyes:

On a theft (like Prometheus) I'd am'rously
dare,

And scale your steep walls for Mifs B-fy
La-vi-re.

III.

Or if fate ftill more envious had nine times faft bound her:

With Phlegethon, Styx, and Cocytus, all round her:

Their Banks I'd (like Orpheus) explore with-
out fear,

And bring back my far lovelier Mifs B-fy
La-vi-re.

What tho' in my coffers but flender's my
hoard,

And but few rich Acres poclaim me their

lord?

Let Fortune grant others their thousands a year,

I'm content if the gives me Mifs B—sy La— vi-re.

IV.

Or fhould the old gipfey, more liberal grown, Make hundreds, and thousands, ay millions my own,

[ocr errors]

I'd lay it down all (hear, a fond lover fwear)
At the feet of the lovely Mifs B-sy La—-

vi-re.

Then ceafe your contentions, ye witlings! nor tell me

Of Chloe's bright eye, or the softness of Elwy Recall your rafh strains, your false praises forbear,

And all chant my more lovely Mifs B-fy La-vi-re.

CAT's-PAW.

Gubenfs,

An ancient biftorical BALLAD on what befel
a memorable four-footed matron at H-g-n
Hall in the famous County of B-ks—
To the tune of Heigh Boys up go we.

I.

PUSS, a prime princefs of the pack,

The lov'lieft piece of white and black Of all her purring kind; Her fur was glofs'd with fable jet And ermine fnows-Difafter yet May royal beauty find.

II. 'Twas on a Day, ill fated fure! (No day is man or cat fecure)

She left her guardian's lap : The rooms wide-wandering, unrestrain'd, She chanc'd ('twas fo the fates ordain'd) Where ftood a baited trap.

this que refer them to Prior's Apelles.
