and bless my days, in fome fall rural fea
And blefs my days,in fome fmall rural feat.
Faft by thy downs, fair Hampshire! wou'd I be,
Where ruddy health in every face we see t
Where fleecy herds in pleafing pafture ftray,
And on the graffy banks for ever play.
My manfion near a rivulet fhou'd ftand,
Yet high enough a profpe&t to command
O'er meads, & woods, & thofe delightful plains,
Where plenty triumphs ---peace eternal reigns.
A decent garden fhou'd my house surround,
By Flora favour'd, and Pomona crown'd.
My modeft dome and fortune should agree,
Bearing no face of want, or luxury;
Enough to joy my friends fometimes, and al-
ways me.

I'd have fome worthy neighbours near me placed,
In guileless chat an idle hour to waste:

A little church, with a well meaning prieft,
Devoid of pride, the fchoolman's common peft;
Knowing the world, but from its vices free,
Loving the mufes ----next divinity.
My way to heaven this friendly guide fhou'd fhew,
At once the teacher and example too.
But O great power! who over all things reigns,
My foul's chief treafure yet unfought remains,
Connubial joys thou'd heighten all the reft,
And Myra, lovely maid! muft make me bleft.
Grant me with her, from noify ftrife retir'd,
To practife virtues which the firft infpir'd.
Joylefs all other gifts without her prove,
Balm of my foul! fweet object of my love!

Advice to a young LADY.
ASSes milk, half a piat, take at feven, or before,
Then fleep for an hour or two, and no more;
At nine ftretch your arms, and oh think, when
alone,
[gown:
There's no pleasure in bed-Mary, bring me my
Slip on that ere you rife, let your caution be fuch,
Keep all cold from your breaft, there's already

too much :

Your pinners fet right, your twitcher ty'd on,
Your prayers at an end, and your breakfaft quite
done,

Retire to fome author improving and gay,
And with fenfe, like your own, fet your mind
for the day.
At twelve you may walk, for at this time o'th'
[year,
The fun, like your wit, is as mild as it's clear:
But mark in the meadows the ruin of time,
Take & hint, & let life be improv'd in its prime:
Return not in hafte, norof dreffing take heed,
For fuch beauty as your's no affiftance can need:
With an appetite thus down to dinner you fit,
Where chief of feaft is the flow of your wit,
Let this be indulg'd, and let laughter go round;
As it pleafes your mind, to your health 'twill re-

dound.

After dinner two glaffes at least I approve,
Name first to the king, the next to your love:
Thus chearful with wifdom, with innocence gay,
And calm your joys, gently glide thro' day.
The dews of the ev'ning moft carefully thun,
They are tears of the sky for the loss of the lyn.

To the Memory of the late Alderman FRENCH of Dublin. (See V.

Ο

Thou! Eblana's tutelary chief,

Accept her tears: her fons, by duty led,
So late her triumph, and fo foon her grief
That hail'd thee living, now lament thee dead.
Such was the joy, that thro' his native Rome
Acclaim'd Marcellus in his martial bloom:
Such was the forrow, in its pious turn,.
That wail'd him fnatch'd to his untimely urm
Alas! 'tis all the great, the good can have,
A fhort-liv'd honour, and a laiting grave!
Defcended ever to this mortal stage,

If chafte Aftrea, fince the golden age,

To guide be-wilder'd man with rays divine,
Which knew no partial love, no fervile fear,
And animate a form, that form was thine,
A Cato, not the præter of one year.

Thus we commit thy reliques to the dust,

Thy fair example to the future juft.
To grace the bright republick of the skies,
While from this grov'ling earth thy fpirit flies,
And Ireland trembles at the wrath in ftore,
When Swift fhall die, and freedom be no more.

Verfes to a sprightly beautiful Boy, in his
Third Year. (See Mag. for Sept. p. 545.)

ΤΗ

HAT cafe, fimplicity and grace,
Which in your beauteous lines we trace
Diftinguish'd fair! with rapture move
My heart, and tune my foul to love.
How rarely, very rarely 's feen
Such wit and genius at fixeeen!
When you your tender thoughts employ
Upon the fprightly, fav'rite boy;
When you prefer his harmless prattle
To am'rous fops more empty tattle;
His artlefs, unaffected fmiles,
His carelefs air, and eafy toils,
To all the flutter, action, show,
Who does not apprehend from thence
And primnefs of a formal beau;
Who does not fcorn with indignation,
Your true regard for innocence?
The guilty fop's licentious pallion?
But fhould a fprightly, gen'rous youth,
Infpir'd with virtue, fente, and truth;
Unitain'd with bafenefs, warm'd with love
And faithful as the turtle-dove;
Neglecting ev'ry other fair,
Make you his whole delight and care;
And by a pallionate addrefs,
His conftant loyalty exprefs;
Mult not the pretty, charming boy,
To fuch a youth as this give way?
And ere you'd flight fo rare a fwain,
Would you not think and think again?
