ON COMPLETING HIS LXXVI VOLUME.

How ftrange and various are the ways,

Men happiness purfue!
Although a momentary blaze,
And that, alas! to few.

But while much more of grief and pain
Are mingled with our blifs,
To think of happiness how vain,
In fuch a world as this!

For what is Man's precarious life,
Which we fo dearly prize,
This fretful fcene of noife and ftrife,
But forrow in difguife?

Whether we toil in Fortune's frown,
Or foar her giddy courfe;
Age wrinkles every anxious crown,
Though thou feel'ft not the force.

For fuch the merit of thy race,
Recording facred Truth;

That Time himself to thee gives place,
And crowns with Fame and Youth.

With undiminish'd luftre ftill
And energies fublime,

FIVE fifteen years your plan you fill,
Delighting ev'ry clime.

Progreffive towards an Hundred Years,
The World thy honours fee;

The fum of all thy toil and cares,
A MONTHLY JUBILEE.
