Where'er the oak's thick branches ſtretch 


A broader browner ſhade ; 
Where'er the rude and moſs-grown beech 


O'er-canopies the glade ; 


Beſide ſome water's ruſhy brink 


With me the Muſe ſhall fit, and think 
(At eaſe reclin'd in ruſtic ſtate) 

How vain the ardour of the Crowd, 
How low, how little are the Proud, 


How indigent the Great ! 


Still is the toiling hand of Care: 
The panting herds repoſe: 
Vet hark, how thro' the peopled air 
Ihe buſy murmur glows! 
Ihe inſect youth are on the wing, 
Eager to taſte the honied ſpring, 

And 


[4-3 


And float amid the liquid noon : 
Some lightly o'er the current ſkim, 
Some ſhew their gayly-gilded trim 
Quick-glancing to the ſun. 


To Contemplation's ſober eye 

Such is the race of Man : 

And they that creep, and they that fly, 
Shall end where they began. 

Alike the Buſy and the Gay 

But flutter thro” life's little day, 

In fortune's varying colours dreſt : 
Bruſh'd by the hand of rough Miſchance, 
Or chill'd by age, their airy dance 
They leave, in duſt to reſt. 


| Methinks I hear in accents low 

The ſportive kind reply: 

Poor moraliſt ! and what art thou ? 
A ſolitary fly ! 3

On the Death of a Favourite CA I, 
Drowned in a Tub of Gold Fiſhes. 


W 


Where China's gayeſt art had dy'd 
'The azure flowers, that blow ; 

Demureſt of the tabby kind, 

The penſive Selima reclin'd, 

| Gazed on the lake below. 


Her conſcious tail her joy declar'd ; 
The fair round face, the ſnowy beard, 


The velvet of her paws, 


Her coat, that with the tortoiſe vies, 


Her ears of jet, and emerald eyes, 


She ſaw ; and purr'd applauſe.

MY 
Still had ſhe gaz d: but midſt the tide 
Two angel forms were ſeen to glide, 
The Genii of the ſtream : 
Their ſcaly armour's Tyrian hue 
Throꝰ richeſt purple to the view 
Betray'd a golden gleam. 


The hapleſs Nymph with wonder ſaw : 


A whiſker firſt and then a claw, 


With many an ardent wiſh, 


She ſtretch'd in vain to reach the Prize. 


What female heart can gold deſpiſe ? 
What Cat's averſe to fiſh ? 


Preſumptuous Maid ! with looks intent 


Again ſhe ſtretch'd, again ſhe bent, 
Nor knew the gulf between. 

(Malignant Fate fat by, and ſmil'd) 

The ſlipp'ry verge her feet beguil'd, 
She tumbled headlong in. 


Eight times emerging from the flood 
She mew'd to ev'ry watry God, 
Some ſpeedy aid to ſend.

Ah happy hills, ah pleaſing ſhade, 
Ah fields belov'd in vain, 
Where once my careleſs childhood ſtray'd, 
A ſtranger yet to pain! 
I feel the gales, that from ye blow, 
A momentary bliſs beſtow, 
As waving freſh their gladſome wing, 


My weary ſoul they ſeem to ſooth, 


And, redolent of joy and youth, 
To breath a ſecond ſpring. 


Say, Father THAMEs, for thou haſt ſeen 


Full many a ſprightly race 


Diſporting on thy margent green 
The paths of pleaſure trace, 

Who foremoſt now delight to cleave 
With plant arm thy glaſſy wave? 
The captive linnet which enthrall ? 
What idle progeny ſucceed 


To chaſe the rolling circle's ſpeed, 
Or urge the flying ball?

That fly th' approach of morn. 


[ 10 ] 
While ſome on earneſt buſineſs bent 
Their murm'ring labours ply 
'Gainſt graver hours, that bring conſtraint 
To ſweeten liberty: 


Some bold adventurers diſdain 


The limits of their little reign, 


And unknown regions dare deſcry 1 


Still as they run they look behind, 
They hear a voice in every wind, 
And ſnatch a fearful joy. 


Gay hope is theirs by fancy fed, 
Leſs pleaſing when poſſeſt; 
The tear forgot as ſoon as ſhed, 
The ſunſhine of the breaſt : 
Theirs buxom health of roſy hue, 


Wild wit, invention ever-new, 


And lively chear of vigour born ; 
The thoughtleſs day, the eaſy night, 
The ſpirits pure, the ſlumbers light,

Alas, regardleſs of their doom, 
The little victims play 
No ſenſe have they of ills to come, 
Nor care beyond to-day: 
Yet ſee how all around em wait 
The Miniſters of human fate, 
And black Misfortune's baleful train ! 
Ah, ſhew them where in ambuſh ſtand 
To ſeize their prey the murth'rous band ! 
Ah, tell them, they are men ! 


Theſe ſhall the fury Paſſions tear, 
The vulturs of the mind, 
Diſdainful Anger, pallid Fear, 
And Shame that ſculks behind ; 
Or pineing Love ſhall waſte their youth, 
Or Jealouſy with rankling tooth, 
That inly gnaws the ſecret heart, 
And Envy wan, and faded Care, 
Grim-viſag'd comfortleſs Deſpair, 
And Sorrow's piercing dart.

Ambition this ſhall tempt to riſe, 
Then whirl the wretch from high, 
To bitter Scorn a ſacrifice, 

And grinning Infamy. 

The ſtings of Falſhood thoſe ſhall try, 
And hard Unkindneſs' alter'd eye, 
That mocks the tear it forc'd to flow; 
And keen Remorſe with blood defil'd, 
And moody Madneſs laughing wild 
Amid ſevereſt woe. 


Lo, in the vale of years beneath 
A grieſly troop are ſeen, 
The painful family of Death, 
More hideous than their Queen: 
This racks the joints, this fires the veins, 
That every labouring ſinew trains, 
Thoſe in the deeper vitals rage: 
Lo, Poverty, to fill the band, 
'That numbs the ſoul with icy hand, 
And ſlow-conſuming Age.

To each his ſuff* rings : all are men, 
Condemn'd alike to groan, 
The tender for another's pain ; 
Th' unfeeling for his own. 


Vetah! why ſhould they know their fate? 
Since ſorrow never comes too late, 


And happineſs too ſwiftly flies. 


Thought would deſtroy their paradiſe. 
No more; where ignorance is bliſs, 
"Tis folly to be wiſe.

The firſt came cap-a-pee from France 
Her conqu'ring deſtiny fulfilling, 
Whom meaner Beauties eye aſkance, 


And vainly ape her art of killing. 


The other Amazon kind Heaven 
Had arm'd with ſpirit, wit, and fatire : 
But CoBHAM had the poliſh given, 


And tip'd her arrows with good- nature. 


To celebrate her eyes, her air - - - - - 


Coarſe panegyricks would but teaze her. 


Melifla is her Nom de Guerre. 


Alas, who would not wiſh to pleaſe her! 


With bonnet blue and capucine, 
And aprons long they hid their armour, 


And veil'd their weapons bright and keen 


In pity to the country-farmer.

Fame in the ſhape of Mr. P - - -t 
(By this time all the Pariſh know it) 
Had told, that thereabouts there lurk'd 


A wicked Imp they call a Poet, 


Who prowl'd the country far and near, 
Bewitch'd the children of the peaſants, 


Dried up the cows, and lam'd the deer, 


My Lady heard their joint petition, 
Swore by her coronet and ermine, 
She'd iſſue out her high commiſſion 


To rid the manor of ſuch vermin. 


TD he Heroines undertook the taſk, 
Thro' lanes unknown, o'er ſtiles they ventur'd, 
Rap'd at the door, nor ſtay'd to aſk, 
But bounce into the parlour enter'd. 
L The 


And ſuck'd the eggs, and kill'd the pheaſants.

The trembling family they daunt, 


They flirt, they ſing, they laugh, they tattle, 


Rummage his Mother, pinch his Aunt, 


And up ſtairs in a whirlwind rattle. 


Each hole and cupboard they explore, 
Each creek and cranny of his chamber, 
Run hurry-ſkurry round the floor, 
And o'er the bed and teſter clamber, 


Into the Drawers and China pry, 


Papers and books, a huge Imbroglio ! 
Under a tea-cup he might lie, 


Or creas'd, like dogs-ears, in a folio. 


On the firſt marching of the troops 


The Muſes, hopeleſs of his pardon, 
Convey'd him underneath their hoops 


To a ſmall cloſet in the garden.

So Rumor ſays. (Who will, believe.) 


But that they left the door a-jarr, 


Where, ſafe and laughing in his ſleeve, 


He heard the diſtant din of war. 


Short was his joy. He little knew, 
The power of Magick was no fable. 
Out of the window, whiſk, they flew, 
But left a ſpell upon the table. 


The words too eager to unriddle 

The Poet felt a ſtrange diſorder : 
Tranſparent birdlime form'd the middle, 
And chains inviſible the border. 


So cunning was the Apparatus, 
The powerful pothooks did ſo move him, 
That, will he, nill he, to the Great-houſe 


He went, as if the Devil drove him.

Vet on his way (no ſign of grace, 
For folks in fear are apt to pray) 

To Phoebus he prefer'd his caſe, 
And beg'd his aid that dreadful day. 


The Godhead would have back'd his quarrel, 
But with a bluſh on recollection 


Own'd, that his quiver and his laurel - 


Gainſt four ſuch eyes were no protection. 


The Court was fate, the Culprit there, 
Forth from their gloomy manſions creeping 
The Lady Janes and Joans repair, 
And from the gallery ſtand peeping:

In peaked hoods and mantles tarniſh'd, 


Sour viſages, enough to ſcare ye, 
High Dames of honour once, that garniſh'd 
The drawing-room of fierce Queen Mary! 


The Peereſs comes. The Audience ſtare, 
And doff their hats with due ſubmiſſion : 
She curtſies, as ſhe takes her chair, 


To all the People of condition. 


The Bard with many an artful fi,

Diſproved the arguments of © Squrb,

Yet ſomething he was heard to mutter, 
* How in the park beneath an old-tree 
(Without deſign to hurt the butter, 


Or any malice to the poultry,) 


He once or twice had pen'd a ſonnet; 
Vet hoped, that he might ſave his bacon: 
Numbers would give their oaths upon it, 


He ne'er was for a conj'rer taken. 


The ghoſtly Prudes with hagged face 
Already had condemn'd the ſinner. 


My Lady roſe, and with a grace -- 


She ſmiled, and bid him come to dinner. 


« Jeſu-Maria ! Madam Bridget, 
* Why, what can the Vicounteſs mean ? 
(Cried the ſquare Hoods in woful fidget) 


The times are alter'd quite and clean!

When firſt thy Sire to ſend on earth 
Virtue, his darling Child, deſign'd, 
To thee he gave the heav'nly Birth, 


And bad to form her infant mind. 


Stern rugged Nurſe ! thy rigid lore 


With patience many a year ſhe bore : 


What ſorrow was, thou bad'ſt her know, 


And from her own ſhe learn'd to melt at others? 


WOC 


Scared at thy frown terrific, fly 
Self-pleafing Folly's idle brood, 

Wild Laughter, Noiſe, and thoughtleſs Joy, 
And leave us leiſure to be good. 

Light they diſperſe, and with them go 
The ſummer Friend, the flatt'ring Foe ; 


By vain Proſperity received, 


Toherthey vow their truth, and are again believed.

Immers'd in rapt'rous thought profound, 
And Melancholy, filent maid 
With leaden eye, that loves the ground, 


Still on thy ſolemn ſteps attend : 

Warm Charity, the gen ral Friend, 

With Juſtice to herſelf ſevere, 

And Pity, dropping ſoft theſadly-pleafing tear. 


Oh, gently on thy Suppliant's head, 
Dread Goddeſs, lay thy chaſt'ning hand ! 
Not in thy Gorgon terrors clad, 


Nor circled with the vengeful Band 

(As by the Impious thou art ſeen) 

With thund'ring voice, and threat'ning mien, 
With ſcreaming Horror's funeral cry, 
Deſpair, and fell Diſeaſe, and ghaſtly Poverty.

Now fades the glimmering landſcape on the ſight, 
And all the air a ſolemn ſtillneſs holds, 
Save where the beetle wheels his droning flight, 
And drowſy tinklings lull the diſtant folds ; | 


Save that from yonder ivy-mantled tow'r 
The mopeing owl does to the moon complain 
Of ſuch, as wand'ring near her ſecret bow'r, 


Moleſt her ancient ſolitary reign. 


Beneath thoſe rugged elms, that yew-tree's ſhade, 


Where heaves the turfin many a mould'ring heap, 
Each in his narrow cell for ever laid, 


The rude Forefathers of the hamlet ſleep.

With ruffled plumes, and flagging wing:
