+
+  While others sing the fortune of the great;
+  Empire and arms, and all the pomp of state;
+  With Britain’s hero(1) set their souls on fire,
+  And grow immortal as his deeds inspire;
+  I draw a deeper scene: a scene that yields
+  A louder trumpet, and more dreadful fields;
+  The world alarm’d, both earth and heaven o’erthrown,
+  And gasping nature’s last tremendous groan;
+  Death’s ancient sceptre broke, the teeming tomb,
+  The righteous Judge, and man’s eternal doom.
+    ’Twixt joy and pain I view the bold design,
+  And ask my anxious heart, if it be mine.
+  Whatever great or dreadful has been done
+  Within the sight of conscious stars or sun,
+  Is far beneath my daring: I look down
+  On all the splendours of the British crown.
+  This globe is for my verse a narrow bound;
+  Attend me, all the glorious worlds around!
+  O! all ye angels, howsoe’er disjoin’d,
+  Of every various order, place, and kind,
+  Hear, and assist, a feeble mortal’s lays;
+  ’Tis your Eternal King I strive to praise.
+    But chiefly thou, great Ruler! Lord of all!
+  Before whose throne archangels prostrate fall;
+  If at thy nod, from discord, and from night,
+  Sprang beauty, and yon sparkling worlds of light,
+  Exalt e’en me; all inward tumults quell;
+  The clouds and darkness of my mind dispel;
+  To my great subject thou my breast inspire,
+  And raise my lab’ring soul with equal fire.
+    Man, bear thy brow aloft, view every grace
+  In God’s great offspring, beauteous nature’s face:
+  See spring’s gay bloom; see golden autumn’s store;
+  See how earth smiles, and hear old ocean roar.
+  Leviathans but heave their cumbrous mail,
+  It makes a tide, and wind-bound navies sail.
+  Here, forests rise, the mountains awful pride;
+  Here, rivers measure climes, and worlds divide;
+  There, valleys fraught with gold’s resplendent seeds,
+  Hold kings, and kingdoms’ fortunes, in their beds:
+  There, to the skies, aspiring hills ascend,
+  And into distant lands their shades extend.
+  View cities, armies, fleets; of fleets the pride,
+  See Europe’s law, in Albion’s channel ride.
+  View the whole earth’s vast landscape unconfin’d,
+  Or view in Britain all her glories join’d.
+    Then let the firmament thy wonder raise;
+  ’Twill raise thy wonder, but transcend thy praise.
+  How far from east to west? the lab’ring eye
+  Can scarce the distant azure bounds descry:
+  Wide theatre! where tempests play at large,
+  And God’s right hand can all its wrath discharge.
+  Mark how those radiant lamps inflame the pole,
+  Call forth the seasons, and the year control:
+  They shine thro’ time, with an unalter’d ray:
+  See this grand period rise, and that decay:
+  So vast, this world’s a grain; yet myriads grace,
+  With golden pomp, the throng’d ethereal space;
+  So bright, with such a wealth of glory stor’d,
+  ’Twere sin in heathens not to have ador’d.
+    How great, how firm, how sacred, all appears!
+  How worthy an immortal round of years!
+  Yet all must drop, as autumn’s sickliest grain,
+  And earth and firmament be sought in vain:
+  The tract forgot where constellations shone,
+  Or where the Stuarts fill’d an awful throne:
+  Time shall be slain, all nature be destroy’d,
+  Nor leave an atom in the mighty void.
+    Sooner, or later, in some future date,
+  (A dreadful secret in the book of fate!)
+  This hour, for aught all human wisdom knows,
+  Or when ten thousand harvests more have rose;
+  When scenes are chang’d on this revolving earth,
+  Old empires fall, and give new empires birth;
+  While other Bourbons rule in other lands,
+  And (if man’s sin forbids not) other Annes;
+  While the still busy world is treading o’er
+  The paths they trod five thousand years before,
+  Thoughtless as those who now life’s mazes run,
+  Of earth dissolv’d, or an extinguish’d sun;
+  (Ye sublunary worlds, awake, awake!
+  Ye rulers of the nation, hear, and shake!)
+  Thick clouds of darkness shall arise on day;
+  In sudden night all earth’s dominions lay;
+  Impetuous winds the scatter’d forests rend;
+  Eternal mountains, like their cedars, bend:
+  The valleys yawn, the troubled ocean roar,
+  And break the bondage of his wonted shore;
+  A sanguine stain the silver moon o’erspread;
+  Darkness the circle of the sun invade;
+  From inmost heaven incessant thunders roll,
+  And the strong echo bound from pole to pole.
+    When, lo, a mighty trump, one half conceal’d
+  In clouds, one half to mortal eye reveal’d,
+  Shall pour a dreadful note; the piercing call
+  Shall rattle in the centre of the ball;
+  Th’ extended circuit of creation shake,
+  The living die with fear, the dead awake.
+    Oh powerful blast! to which no equal sound
+  Did e’er the frighted ear of nature wound,
+  Tho’ rival clarions have been strain’d on high,
+  And kindled wars immortal thro’ the sky,
+  Tho’ God’s whole enginery discharg’d, and all
+  The rebel angels bellow’d in their fall.
+    Have angels sinn’d? and shall not man beware?
+  How shall a son of earth decline the snare?
+  Not folded arms, and slackness of the mind,
+  Can promise for the safety of mankind:
+  None are supinely good: thro’ care and pain
+  And various arts, the steep ascent we gain.
+  This is the scene of combat, not of rest,
+  Man’s is laborious happiness at best;
+  On this side death his dangers never cease,
+  His joys are joys of conquest, not of peace.
+    If then, obsequious to the will of fate,
+  And bending to the terms of human state,
+  When guilty joys invite us to their arms,
+  When beauty smiles, or grandeur spreads her charms,
+  The conscious soul would this great scene display,
+  Call down th’ immortal hosts in dread array,
+  The trumpet sound, the Christian banner spread,
+  And raise from silent graves the trembling dead;
+  Such deep impression would the picture make,
+  No power on earth her firm resolve could shake;
+  Engag’d with angels she would greatly stand,
+  And look regardless down on sea and land;
+  Not proffer’d worlds her ardour could restrain,
+  And death might shake his threat’ning lance in vain!
+  Her certain conquest would endear the sight,
+  And danger serve but to exalt delight.
+  Instructed thus to shun the fatal spring,
+  Whence flow the terrors of that day I sing;
+  More boldly we our labours may pursue,
+  And all the dreadful image set to view.
+    The sparkling eye, the sleek and painted breast,
+  The burnish’d scale, curl’d train, and rising crest,
+  All that is lovely in the noxious snake,
+  Provokes our fear, and bids us flee the brake:
+  The sting once drawn, his guiltless beauties rise
+  In pleasing lustre, and detain our eyes;
+  We view with joy, what once did horror move,
+  And strong aversion softens into love.
+    Say then, my muse, whom dismal scenes delight,
+  Frequent at tombs, and in the realms of night;
+  Say, melancholy maid, if bold to dare
+  The last extremes of terror and despair;
+  Oh say, what change on earth, what heart in man,
+  This blackest moment since the world began.
+    Ah mournful turn! the blissful earth, who late
+  At leisure on her axle roll’d in state;
+  While thousand golden planets knew no rest,
+  Still onward in their circling journey prest;
+  A grateful change of seasons some to bring,
+  And sweet vicissitude of fall and spring:
+  Some thro’ vast oceans to conduct the keel,
+  And some those watery worlds to sink, or swell:
+  Around her some their splendours to display,
+  And gild her globe with tributary day:
+  This world so great, of joy the bright abode,
+  Heaven’s darling child, and fav’rite of her God,
+  Now looks an exile from her father’s care,
+  Deliver’d o’er to darkness and despair.
+  No sun in radiant glory shines on high;
+  No light, but from the terrors of the sky:
+  Fall’n are her mountains, her fam’d rivers lost,
+  And all into a second chaos tost:
+  One universal ruin spreads abroad;
+  Nothing is safe beneath the throne of God.
+    Such, earth, thy fate: what then canst thou afford
+  To comfort and support thy guilty lord?
+  Man, haughty lord of all beneath the moon,
+  How must he bend his soul’s ambition down
+  Prostrate, the reptile own, and disavow
+  His boasted stature, and assuming brow?
+  Claim kindred with the clay, and curse his form,
+  That speaks distinction from his sister worm?
+  What dreadful pangs the trembling heart invade?
+  Lord, why dost thou forsake whom thou hast made?
+  Who can sustain thy anger? who can stand
+  Beneath the terrors of thy lifted hand?
+  It flies the reach of thought; oh, save me, Power
+  Of powers supreme, in that tremendous hour!
+  Thou who beneath the frown of fate hast stood,
+  And in thy dreadful agony sweat blood;
+  Thou, who for me, thro’ every throbbing vein,
+  Hast felt the keenest edge of mortal pain;
+  Whom death led captive thro’ the realms below,
+  And taught those horrid mysteries of woe;
+  Defend me, O my God! Oh, save me, Power
+  Of powers supreme, in that tremendous hour!
+  From east to west they fly, from pole to line,
+  Imploring shelter from the wrath divine;
+  Beg flames to wrap, or whelming seas to sweep,
+  Or rocks to yawn, compassionately deep;
+  Seas cast the monster forth to meet his doom,
+  And rocks but prison up for wrath to come.
+    So fares a traitor to an earthly crown;
+  While death sits threat’ning in his prince’s frown
+  His heart’s dismay’d; and now his fears command,
+  To change his native for a distant land:
+  Swift orders fly, the king’s severe decree
+  Stands in the channel, and locks up the sea;
+  The port he seeks, obedient to her lord,
+  Hurls back the rebel to his lifted sword.
+    But why this idle toil to paint that day?
+  This time elaborately thrown away?
+  Words all in vain pant after the distress,
+  The height of eloquence would make it less;
+  Heavens! how the good man trembles!—
+    And is there a last day? and must there come
+  A sure, a fix’d, inexorable doom?
+  Ambition swell, and, thy proud sails to show,
+  Take all the winds that vanity can blow;
+  Wealth on a golden mountain blazing stand,
+  And reach an India forth in either hand;
+  Spread all thy purple clusters, tempting vine,
+  And thou, more dreaded foe, bright beauty, shine;
+  Shine all; in all your charms together rise;
+  That all, in all your charms, I may despise;
+  While I mount upward on a strong desire,
+  Borne, like Elijah, in a car of fire.
+    In hopes of glory to be quite involv’d!
+  To smile at death! to long to be dissolv’d!
+  From our decays a pleasure to receive!
+  And kindle into transport at a grave!
+  What equals this? And shall the victor now
+  Boast the proud laurels on his loaded brow?
+  Religion! Oh, thou cherub, heavenly bright!
+  Oh, joys unmix’d, and fathomless delight!
+  Thou, thou art all; nor find I in the whole
+  Creation aught, but God and my own soul.
+    For ever, then, my soul, thy God adore,
+  Nor let the brute creation praise him more.
+  Shall things inanimate my conduct blame,
+  And flush my conscious cheek with spreading shame?
+  They all for him pursue, or quit, their end
+  The mountain flames their burning power suspend;
+  In solid heaps th’ unfrozen billows stand,
+  To rest and silence aw’d by his command:
+  Nay, the dire monsters that infest the flood,
+  By nature dreadful, and athirst for blood,
+  His will can calm, their savage tempers bind,
+  And turn to mild protectors of mankind.
+  Did not the prophet this great truth maintain
+  In the deep chambers of the gloomy main;
+  When darkness round him all her horrors spread,
+  And the loud ocean bellow’d o’er his head?
+    When now the thunder roars, the lightning flies,
+  And all the warring winds tumultuous rise;
+  When now the foaming surges, tost on high,
+  Disclose the sands beneath, and touch the sky;
+  When death draws near, the mariners aghast,
+  Look back with terror on their actions past;
+  Their courage sickens into deep dismay,
+  Their hearts, thro’ fear and anguish, melt away;
+  Nor tears, nor prayers, the tempest can appease;
+  Now they devote their treasure to the seas;
+  Unload their shatter’d barque, tho’ richly fraught,
+  And think the hopes of life are cheaply bought
+  With gems and gold; but oh, the storm so high!
+  Nor gems nor gold the hopes of life can buy.
+    The trembling prophet then, themselves to save,
+  They headlong plunge into the briny wave;
+  Down he descends, and, booming o’er his head,
+  The billows close; he’s number’d with the dead.
+  (Hear, O ye just! attend, ye virtuous few!
+  And the bright paths of piety pursue)
+  Lo! the great Ruler of the world, from high,
+  Looks smiling down with a propitious eye,
+  Covers his servant with his gracious hand,
+  And bids tempestuous nature silent stand;
+  Commands the peaceful waters to give place,
+  Or kindly fold him in a soft embrace:
+  He bridles in the monsters of the deep:
+  The bridled monsters awful distance keep:
+  Forget their hunger, while they view their prey;
+  And guiltless gaze, and round the stranger play.
+    But still arise new wonders; nature’s Lord
+  Sends forth into the deep his powerful word,
+  And calls the great leviathan: the great
+  Leviathan attends in all his state;
+  Exults for joy, and, with a mighty bound,
+  Makes the sea shake, and heaven and earth resound;
+  Blackens the waters with the rising sand.
+  And drives vast billows to the distant land.
+    As yawns an earthquake, when imprison’d air
+  Struggles for vent, and lays the centre bare,
+  The whale expands his jaws’ enormous size;
+  The prophet views the cavern with surprise;
+  Measures his monstrous teeth, afar descried,
+  And rolls his wond’ring eyes from side to side:
+  Then takes possession of the spacious seat,
+  And sails secure within the dark retreat.
+    Now is he pleas’d the northern blast to hear,
+  And hangs on liquid mountains, void of fear;
+  Or falls immers’d into the depths below,
+  Where the dead silent waters never flow;
+  To the foundation of the hills convey’d,
+  Dwells in the shelving mountain’s dreadful shade:
+  Where plummet never reach’d, he draws his breath,
+  And glides serenely thro’ the paths of death.
+    Two wondrous days and nights thro’ coral groves,
+  Thro’ labyrinths of rocks and sands, he roves:
+  When the third morning with its level rays
+  The mountains gilds, and on the billows plays,
+  It sees the king of waters rise and pour
+  His sacred guest uninjur’d on the shore:
+  A type of that great blessing, which the muse
+  In her next labour ardently pursues.
+
+
+
+
+                                 Book II.
+
+
+    Έκ γαιη έλπιξομεν ές Φάος έλθειν. Λειψαν άποιχομένων όπισω δέ Θεοι
+    τελέθονται.
+
+                                                               PHOCYL.
+
+
+    ——We hope that the departed will rise again from the dust: after
+    which, like the gods, they will be immortal.
+
+
+  Now man awakes, and from his silent bed,
+  Where he has slept for ages, lifts his head;
+  Shakes off the slumber of ten thousand years,
+  And on the borders of new worlds appears.
+  Whate’er the bold, the rash, adventure cost,
+  In wide eternity I dare be lost.
+  The muse is wont in narrow bounds to sing,
+  To teach the swain, or celebrate the king.
+  I grasp the whole, no more to parts confin’d,
+  I lift my voice, and sing to humankind:
+  I sing to men and angels; angels join,
+  While such the theme, their sacred songs with mine.
+    Again the trumpet’s intermitted sound
+  Rolls the wide circuit of creation round,
+  A universal concourse to prepare
+  Of all that ever breath’d the vital air:
+  In some wide field, which active whirlwinds sweep,
+  Drive cities, forests, mountains, to the deep,
+  To smooth and lengthen out th’ unbounded space,
+  And spread an area for all human race.
+    Now monuments prove faithful to their trust,
+  And render back their long committed dust.
+  Now charnels rattle; scatter’d limbs, and all
+  The various bones, obsequious to the call,
+  Self-mov’d, advance; the neck perhaps to meet
+  The distant head; the distant legs the feet.
+  Dreadful to view, see thro’ the dusky sky
+  Fragments of bodies in confusion fly,
+  To distant regions journeying, there to claim
+  Deserted members, and complete the frame.
+    When the world bow’d to Rome’s almighty sword,
+  Rome bow’d to Pompey, and confess’d her lord.
+  Yet one day lost, this deity below
+  Became the scorn and pity of his foe.
+  His blood a traitor’s sacrifice was made,
+  And smok’d indignant on a ruffian’s blade.
+  No trumpet’s sound, no gasping army’s yell,
+  Bid, with due horror, his great soul farewell.
+  Obscure his fall! all welt’ring in his gore,
+  His trunk was cast to perish on the shore!
+  While Julius frown’d the bloody monster dead,
+  Who brought the world in his great rival’s head.
+  This sever’d head and trunk shall join once more,
+  Tho’ realms now rise between, and oceans roar.
+  The trumpet’s sound each fragrant mote shall hear,
+  Or fix’d in earth, or if afloat in air,
+  Obey the signal wafted in the wind,
+  And not one sleeping atom lag behind.
+    So swarming bees, that on a summer’s day
+  In airy rings, and wild meanders play,
+  Charm’d with the brazen sound, their wand’rings end,
+  And, gently circling, on a bough descend.
+    The body thus renew’d, the conscious soul,
+  Which has perhaps been flutt’ring near the pole,
+  Or midst the burning planets wond’ring stray’d,
+  Or hover’d o’er where her pale corpse was laid;
+  Or rather coasted on her final state,
+  And fear’d or wish’d for her appointed fate:
+  This soul, returning with a constant flame,
+  Now weds for ever her immortal frame.
+  Life, which ran down before, so high is wound,
+  The springs maintain an everlasting round.
+    Thus a frail model of the work design’d
+  First takes a copy of the builder’s mind,
+  Before the structure firm with lasting oak,
+  And marble bowels of the solid rock,
+  Turns the strong arch, and bids the columns rise,
+  And bear the lofty palace to the skies;
+  The wrongs of time enabled to surpass,
+  With bars of adamant, and ribs of brass.
+    That ancient, sacred, and illustrious dome,(2)
+  Where soon or late fair Albion’s heroes come,
+  From camps, and courts, tho’ great, or wise, or just,
+  To feed the worm, and moulder into dust;
+  That solemn mansion of the royal dead,
+  Where passing slaves o’er sleeping monarchs tread,
+  Now populous o’erflows: a num’rous race
+  Of rising kings fill all th’ extended space:
+  A life well spent, not the victorious sword,
+  Awards the crown, and styles the greater lord.
+    Nor monuments alone, and burial-earth,
+  Labours with man to this his second birth;
+  But where gay palaces in pomp arise,
+  And gilded theatres invade the skies,
+  Nations shall wake, whose unrespected bones
+  Support the pride of their luxurious sons.
+  The most magnificent and costly dome
+  Is but an upper chamber to the tomb.
+  No spot on earth but has supplied a grave,
+  And human skulls the spacious ocean pave.
+  All’s full of man; and at this dreadful turn,
+  The swarm shall issue, and the hive shall burn.
+    Not all at once, nor in like manner, rise:
+  Some lift with pain their slow, unwilling eyes:
+  Shrink backward from the terror of the light,
+  And bless the grave, and call for lasting night.
+  Others, whose long-attempted virtue stood
+  Fix’d as a rock, and broke the rushing flood,
+  Whose firm resolve, nor beauty could melt down,
+  Nor raging tyrants from their posture frown;
+  Such, in this day of horrors, shall be seen
+  To face the thunders with a godlike mien;
+  The planets drop, their thoughts are fixt above;
+  The centre shakes, their hearts disdain to move;
+  An earth dissolving, and a heaven thrown wide,
+  A yawning gulf, and fiends on every side,
+  Serene they view, impatient of delay,
+  And bless the dawn of everlasting day.
+    Here, greatness prostrate falls; there, strength gives place;
+  Here, lazars smile; there, beauty hides her face.
+  Christians, and Jews, and Turks, and Pagans stand,
+  A blended throng, one undistinguish’d band.
+  Some who, perhaps, by mutual wounds expir’d,
+  With zeal for their distinct persuasions fir’d,
+  In mutual friendship their long slumber break,
+  And hand in hand their Saviour’s love partake.
+    But none are flush’d with brighter joy, or, warm
+  With juster confidence, enjoy the storm,
+  Than those, whose pious bounties, unconfin’d,
+  Have made them public fathers of mankind.
+  In that illustrious rank, what shining light
+  With such distinguish’d glory fills my sight?
+  Bend down, my grateful muse, that homage show,
+  Which to such worthies thou art proud to owe.
+  Wickham! Fox! Chichley! hail, illustrious names,(3)
+  Who to far distant times dispense your beams;
+  Beneath your shades, and near your crystal springs,
+  I first presum’d to touch the trembling strings.
+  All hail, thrice honour’d! ’Twas your great renown
+  To bless a people, and oblige a crown.
+  And now you rise, eternally to shine,
+  Eternally to drink the rays divine.
+    Indulgent God! Oh how shall mortal raise
+  His soul to due returns of grateful praise,
+  For bounty so profuse to humankind,
+  Thy wondrous gift of an eternal mind?
+  Shall I, who, some few years ago, was less
+  Than worm, or mite, or shadow can express,
+  Was nothing; shall I live, when every fire
+  And every star shall languish and expire?
+  When earth’s no more, shall I survive above,
+  And thro’ the radiant files of angels move?
+  Or, as before the throne of God I stand,
+  See new worlds rolling from his spacious hand,
+  Where our adventures shall perhaps be taught,
+  As we now tell how Michael sung or fought?
+  All that has being in full concert join,
+  And celebrate the depths of love divine!
+    But oh! before this blissful state, before
+  Th’ aspiring soul this wondrous height can soar,
+  The Judge, descending, thunders from afar,
+  And all mankind is summon’d to the bar.
+    This mighty scene I next presume to draw:
+  Attend, great Anna, with religious awe.
+  Expect not here the known successful arts
+  To win attention, and command our hearts:
+  Fiction, be far away; let no machine
+  Descending here, no fabled god, be seen;
+  Behold the God of gods indeed descend,
+  And worlds unnumber’d his approach attend!
+    Lo! the wide theatre, whose ample space
+  Must entertain the whole of human race,
+  At heaven’s all-powerful edict is prepar’d,
+  And fenc’d around with an immortal guard.
+  Tribes, provinces, dominions, worlds, o’erflow
+  The mighty plain, and deluge all below:
+  And every age, and nation, pours along,
+  Nimrod and Bourbon mingle in the throng:
+  Adam salutes his youngest son; no sign,
+  Of all those ages, which their births disjoin.
+    How empty learning, and how vain is art,
+  But as it mends the life, and guides the heart!
+  What volumes have been swell’d, what time been spent,
+  To fix a hero’s birth-day, or descent!
+  What joy must it now yield, what rapture raise,
+  To see the glorious race of ancient days!
+  To greet those worthies who perhaps have stood
+  Illustrious on record before the flood!
+  Alas! a nearer care your soul demands,
+  Cæsar unnoted in your presence stands.
+    How vast the concourse! not in number more
+  The waves that break on the resounding shore,
+  The leaves that tremble in the shady grove,
+  The lamps that gild the spangled vaults above:
+  Those overwhelming armies, whose command
+  Said to one empire, fall; another, stand:
+  Whose rear lay wrapt in night, while breaking dawn
+  Rous’d the broad front, and call’d the battle on:
+  Great Xerxes’ world in arms, proud Cannæ’s field,
+  Where Carthage taught victorious Rome to yield,
+  (Another blow had broke the fates’ decree,
+  And earth had wanted her fourth monarchy,)
+  Immortal Blenheim, fam’d Ramillia’s host,
+  They all are here, and here they all are lost:
+  Their millions swell to be discern’d in vain,
+  Lost as a billow in th’ unbounded main.
+    This echoing voice now rends the yielding air,
+  For judgment, judgment, sons of men, prepare!
+  Earth shakes anew; I hear her groans profound;
+  And hell through all her trembling realms resound.
+    Whoe’er thou art, thou greatest power of earth,
+  Blest with most equal planets at thy birth;
+  Whose valour drew the most successful sword,
+  Most realms united in one common lord;
+  Who, on the day of triumph, saidst, Be thine
+  The skies, Jehovah, all this world is mine:
+  Dare not to lift thine eye—Alas! my muse,
+  How art thou lost! what numbers canst thou choose?
+    A sudden blush inflames the waving sky,
+  And now the crimson curtains open fly;
+  Lo! far within, and far above all height,
+  Where heaven’s great Sov’reign reigns in worlds of light,
+  Whence nature he informs, and with one ray
+  Shot from his eye, does all her works survey,
+  Creates, supports, confounds! Where time, and place,
+  Matter, and form, and fortune, life, and grace,
+  Wait humbly at the footstool of their God,
+  And move obedient at his awful nod;
+  Whence he beholds us vagrant emmets crawl
+  At random on this air-suspended ball
+  (Speck of creation): if he pour one breath,
+  The bubble breaks, and ’tis eternal death.
+    Thence issuing I behold (but mortal sight
+  Sustains not such a rushing sea of light!)
+  I see, on an empyreal flying throne
+  Sublimely rais’d, heaven’s everlasting Son;
+  Crown’d with that majesty which form’d the world,
+  And the grand rebel flaming downward hurl’d.
+  Virtue, dominion, praise, omnipotence,
+  Support the train of their triumphant prince.
+  A zone, beyond the thought of angels bright,
+  Around him, like the zodiac, winds its light.
+  Night shades the solemn arches of his brows,
+  And in his cheek the purple morning glows.
+  Where’er serene, he turns propitious eyes,
+  Or we expect, or find, a paradise:
+  But if resentment reddens their mild beams,
+  The Eden kindles, and the world’s in flames.
+  On one hand, knowledge shines in purest light;
+  On one, the sword of justice fiercely bright.
+  Now bend the knee in sport, present the reed;
+  Now tell the scourg’d impostor he shall bleed!
+    Thus glorious thro’ the courts of heav’n, the source
+  Of life and death eternal bends his course;
+  Loud thunders round him roll, and lightnings play;
+  Th’ angelic host is rang’d in bright array:
+  Some touch the string, some strike the sounding shell,
+  And mingling voices in rich concert swell;
+  Voices seraphic; blest with such a strain,
+  Could Satan hear, he were a god again.
+    Triumphant King of Glory! Soul of bliss!
+  What a stupendous turn of fate is this!
+  O! whither art thou rais’d above the scorn
+  And indigence of him in Bethlem born;
+  A needless, helpless, unaccounted guest,
+  And but a second to the fodder’d beast!
+  How chang’d from him, who, meekly prostrate laid,
+  Vouchsaf’d to wash the feet himself had made!
+  From him who was betray’d, forsook, denied,
+  Wept, languish’d, pray’d, bled, thirsted, groan’d, and died;
+  Hung pierc’d and bare, insulted by the foe,
+  All heaven in tears above, earth unconcern’d below!
+    And was’t enough to bid the sun retire?
+  Why did not nature at thy groan expire?
+  I see, I hear, I feel, the pangs divine;
+  The world is vanish’d,—I am wholly thine.
+    Mistaken Caiaphas! Ah! which blasphem’d;
+  Thou, or thy pris’ner? which shall be condemn’d?
+  Well might’st thou rend thy garments, well exclaim;
+  Deep are the horrors of eternal flame!
+  But God is good! ’Tis wondrous all! Ev’n he
+  Thou gav’st to death, shame, torture, died for thee.
+    Now the descending triumph stops its flight
+  From earth full twice a planetary height.
+  There all the clouds condens’d, two columns raise
+  Distinct with orient veins, and golden blaze.
+  One fix’d on earth, and one in sea, and round
+  Its ample foot the swelling billows sound.
+  These an immeasurable arch support,
+  The grand tribunal of this awful court.
+  Sheets of bright azure, from the purest sky,
+  Stream from the crystal arch, and round the columns fly.
+  Death, wrapt in chains, low at the basis lies,
+  And on the point of his own arrow dies.
+    Here high enthron’d th’ eternal Judge is plac’d,
+  With all the grandeur of his godhead grac’d;
+  Stars on his robes in beauteous order meet,
+  And the sun burns beneath his awful feet.
+    Now an archangel eminently bright,
+  From off his silver staff of wondrous height,
+  Unfurls the Christian flag, which waving flies,
+  And shuts and opens more than half the skies:
+  The cross so strong a red, it sheds a stain,
+  Where’er it floats, on earth, and air, and main;
+  Flushes the hill, and sets on fire the wood,
+  And turns the deep-dy’d ocean, into blood.
+    Oh formidable glory! dreadful bright!
+  Refulgent torture to the guilty sight.
+  Ah turn, unwary muse, nor dare reveal
+  What horrid thoughts with the polluted dwell.
+  Say not, (to make the sun shrink in his beam,)
+  Dare not affirm, they wish it all a dream;
+  With, or their souls may with their limbs decay,
+  Or God be spoil’d of his eternal sway.
+  But rather, if thou know’st the means, unfold
+  How they with transport might the scene behold.
+    Ah how! but by repentance, by a mind
+  Quick, and severe its own offence to find?
+  By tears, and groans, and never-ceasing care,
+  And all the pious violence of prayer?
+  Thus then, with fervency till now unknown,
+  I cast my heart before th’ eternal throne,
+  In this great temple, which the skies surround,
+  For homage to its lord, a narrow bound.
+    "O thou! whose balance does the mountains weigh,
+  Whose will the wild tumultuous seas obey,
+  Whose breath can turn these watery worlds to flame,
+  That flame to tempest, and that tempest tame;
+  Earth’s meanest son, all trembling, prostrate falls,
+  And on the boundless of thy goodness calls.
+    "Oh! give the winds all past offence to sweep,
+  To scatter wide, or bury in the deep:
+  Thy power, my weakness, may I ever see,
+  And wholly dedicate my soul to thee:
+  Reign o’er my will; my passions ebb and flow
+  At thy command, nor human motive know!
+  If anger boil, let anger be my praise,
+  And sin the graceful indignation raise.
+  My love be warm to succour the distress’d,
+  And lift the burden from the soul oppress’d.
+  Oh may my understanding ever read
+  This glorious volume, which thy wisdom made!
+  Who decks the maiden spring with flow’ry pride?
+  Who calls forth summer, like a sparkling bride?
+  Who joys the mother autumn’s bed to crown?
+  And bids old winter lay her honours down?
+  Not the great Ottoman, or greater Czar,
+  Not Europe’s arbitress of peace and war.
+  May sea and land, and earth and heaven be join’d
+  To bring th’ eternal author to my mind!
+  When oceans roar, or awful thunders roll,
+  May thoughts of thy dread vengeance shake my soul!
+  When earth’s in bloom, or planets proudly shine,
+  Adore, my heart, the majesty divine!
+    "Thro’ every scene of life, or peace, or war,
+  Plenty, or want, thy glory be my care!
+  Shine we in arms? or sing beneath our vine?
+  Thine is the vintage, and the conquest thine:
+  Thy pleasure points the shaft, and bends the bow;
+  The cluster blasts, or bids it brightly glow:
+  ’Tis thou that lead’st our powerful armies forth,
+  And giv’st great Anne thy sceptre o’er the north.
+    "Grant I may ever, at the morning ray,
+  Open with prayer the consecrated day;
+  Tune thy great praise, and bid my soul arise,
+  And with the mounting sun ascend the skies:
+  As that advances, let my zeal improve,
+  And glow with ardour of consummate love;
+  Nor cease at eve, but with the setting sun
+  My endless worship shall be still begun.
+    "And, oh! permit the gloom of solemn night
+  To sacred thought may forcibly invite.
+  When this world’s shut, and awful planets rise,
+  Call on our minds, and raise them to the skies;
+  Compose our souls with a less dazzling sight,
+  And show all nature in a milder light;
+  How every boisterous thought in calm subsides!
+  How the smooth’d spirit into goodness glides!
+  O how divine! to tread the milky way,
+  To the bright palace of the lord of day;
+  His court admire, or for his favour sue,
+  Or leagues of friendship with his saints renew;
+  Pleas’d to look down, and see the world asleep,
+  While I long vigils to its founder keep!
+    "Canst thou not shake the centre? Oh! control,
+  Subdue by force, the rebel in my soul:
+  Thou, who canst still the raging of the flood,
+  Restrain the various tumults of my blood;
+  Teach me, with equal firmness, to sustain
+  Alluring pleasure, and assaulting pain.
+  O may I pant for thee in each desire!
+  And with strong faith foment the holy fire!
+  Stretch out my soul in hope, and grasp the prize,
+  Which in eternity’s deep bosom lies!
+  At the great day of recompense behold,
+  Devoid of fear, the fatal book unfold!
+  Then wafted upward to the blissful seat,
+  From age to age, my grateful song repeat;
+  My light, my life, my God, my Saviour see,
+  And rival angels in the praise of thee."
+
+
+
+
+                                Book III.
+
+
+      Esse quoque in fatis reminiscitur, affore tempus,
+      Quo mare, quo tellus, correptaque regia cæli
+      Ardeat; et mundi moles operosa laboret.
+
+                                                           —OVID. MET.
+
+
+  The book unfolding; the resplendent seat
+  Of saints and angels; the tremendous fate
+  Of guilty souls; the gloomy realms of woe;
+  And all the horrors of the world below;
+  I next presume to sing: what yet remains
+  Demands my last, but most exalted strains.
+  And let the muse or now affect the sky,
+  Or in inglorious shades for ever lie.
+  She kindles, she’s inflam’d so near the goal;
+  She mounts, she gains upon the starry pole;
+  The world grows less as she pursues her flight,
+  And the sun darkens to her distant sight.
+  Heaven op’ning, all its sacred pomp displays,
+  And overwhelms her with the rushing blaze!
+  The triumph rings! archangels shout around!
+  And echoing nature lengthens out the sound!
+    Ten thousand trumpets now at once advance;
+  Now deepest silence lulls the vast expanse:
+  So deep the silence, and so strong the blast,
+  As nature died, when she had groan’d her last.
+  Nor man, nor angel, moves; the Judge on high
+  Looks round, and with his glory fills the sky:
+  Then on the fatal book his hand he lays,
+  Which high to view supporting seraphs raise;
+  In solemn form the rituals are prepar’d,
+  The seal is broken, and a groan is heard.
+  And thou, my soul, (oh fall to sudden pray’r,
+  And let the thought sink deep!) shalt thou be there?
+    See on the left (for by the great command
+  The throng divided falls on either hand);
+  How weak, how pale, how haggard, how obscene,
+  What more than death in ev’ry face and mien!
+  With what distress, and glarings of affright.
+  They shock the heart, and turn away the sight!
+  In gloomy orbs their trembling eye-balls roll,
+  And tell the horrid secrets of the soul.
+  Each gesture mourns, each look is black with care,
+  And ev’ry groan is loaden with despair.
+  Reader, if guilty, spare the muse, and find
+  A truer image pictur’d in thy mind.
+    Shouldst thou behold thy brother, father, wife,
+  And all the soft companions of thy life,
+  Whose blended int’rests levell’d at one aim,
+  Whose mix’d desires sent up one common flame,
+  Divided far; thy wretched self alone
+  Cast on the left, of all whom thou hast known;
+  How would it wound! what millions wouldst thou give
+  For one more trial, one more day to live!
+  Flung back in time an hour, a moment’s space,
+  To grasp with eagerness the means of grace;
+  Contend for mercy with a pious rage,
+  And in that moment to redeem an age?
+  Drive back the tide, suspend a storm in air,
+  Arrest the sun!—but still of this despair.
+    Mark, on the right, how amiable a grace!
+  Their Maker’s image fresh in ev’ry face!
+  What purple bloom my ravish’d soul admires!
+  And their eyes sparkling with immortal fires!
+  Triumphant beauty! charms that rise above
+  This world, and in blest angels kindle love!
+  To the great Judge with holy pride they turn,
+  And dare behold th’ Almighty’s anger burn;
+  Its flash sustain, against its terror rise,
+  And on the dread tribunal fix their eyes.
+  Are these the forms that moulder’d in the dust?
+  Oh the transcendent glory of the just!
+  Yet still some thin remains of fear and doubt,
+  Th’ infected brightness of their joy pollute.
+    Thus the chaste bridegroom, when the priest draws nigh,
+  Beholds his blessing with a trembling eye,
+  Feels doubtful passions throb in every vein,
+  And in his cheeks are mingled joy and pain,
+  Lest still some intervening chance should rise,
+  Leap forth at once, and snatch the golden prize;
+  Inflame his woe, by bringing it so late,
+  And stab him in the crisis of his fate.
+    Since Adam’s family, from first to last,
+  Now into one distinct survey is cast;
+  Look round, vainglorious muse, and you whoe’er
+  Devote yourselves to fame, and think her fair;
+  Look round, and seek the lights of human race,
+  Whose shining acts time’s brightest annals grace;
+  Who founded sects; crowns conquer’d, or resign’d;
+  Gave names to nations: or fam’d empires join’d;
+  Who raised the vale, and laid the mountain low;
+  And taught obedient rivers where to flow;
+  Who with vast fleets, as with a mighty chain,
+  Could bind the madness of the roaring main:
+  All lost? all undistinguish’d? nowhere found?
+  How will this truth in Bourbon’s palace sound?
+    That hour, on which the Almighty King on high
+  From all eternity has fix’d his eye,
+  Whether his right hand favour’d, or annoy’d,
+  Continu’d, alter’d, threaten’d, or destroy’d;
+  Southern or eastern sceptre downward hurl’d,
+  Gave north or west dominion o’er the world;
+  The point of time, for which the world was built,
+  For which the blood of God himself was spilt,
+  That dreadful moment is arriv’d.
+    Aloft, the seats of bliss their pomp display
+  Brighter than brightness, this distinguish’d day;
+  Less glorious, when of old th’ eternal Son
+  From realms of night return’d with trophies won:
+  Thro’ heaven’s high gates, when he triumphant rode,
+  And shouting angels hail’d the victor God.
+  Horrors, beneath, darkness in darkness, hell
+  Of hell, where torments behind torments dwell;
+  A furnace formidable, deep, and wide,
+  O’erboiling with a mad sulphureous tide,
+  Expands its jaws, most dreadful to survey,
+  And roars outrageous for the destin’d prey.
+  The sons of light scarce unappall’d look down,
+  And nearer press heaven’s everlasting throne.
+    Such is the scene; and one short moment’s space
+  Concludes the hopes and fears of human race.
+  Proceed who dares!—I tremble as I write,
+  The whole creation swims before my sight:
+  I see, I see, the Judge’s frowning brow;
+  Say not, ’tis distant; I behold it now;
+  I faint, my tardy blood forgets to flow,
+  My soul recoils at the stupendous woe;
+  That woe, those pangs, which from the guilty breast,
+  In these, or words like these, shall be exprest.
+    "Who burst the barriers of my peaceful grave?
+  Ah! cruel death, that would no longer save,
+  But grudg’d me e’en that narrow dark abode,
+  And cast me out into the wrath of God;
+  Where shrieks, the roaring flame, the rattling chain,
+  And all the dreadful eloquence of pain,
+  Our only song; black fire’s malignant light,
+  The sole refreshment of the blasted sight.
+  Must all those pow’rs, heaven gave me to supply
+  My soul with pleasure, and bring in my joy,
+  Rise up in arms against me, join the foe,
+  Sense, reason, memory, increase my woe?
+  And shall my voice, ordain’d on hymns to dwell,
+  Corrupt to groans, and blow the fires of hell?
+  Oh! must I look with terror on my gain,
+  And with existence only measure pain?
+  What! no reprieve, no least indulgence given,
+  No beam of hope, from any point of heaven!
+  Ah mercy! mercy! art thou dead above?
+  Is love extinguish’d in the source of love?
+    "Bold that I am, did heaven stoop down to hell?
+  Th’ expiring Lord of life my ransom seal?
+  Have I not been industrious to provoke?
+  From his embraces obstinately broke?
+  Pursu’d and panted for his mortal hate,
+  Earn’d my destruction, labour’d out my fate?
+  And dare I on extinguish’d love exclaim?
+  Take, take full vengeance, rouse the slack’ning flame;
+  Just is my lot—but oh! must it transcend
+  The reach of time, despair a distant end?
+  With dreadful growth shoot forward, and arise,
+  Where thought can’t follow, and bold fancy dies?
+    "Never! where falls the soul at that dread sound?
+  Down an abyss how dark, and how profound?
+  Down, down, (I still am falling, horrid pain!)
+  Ten thousand thousand fathoms still remain;
+  My plunge but still begun—And this for sin?
+  Could I offend, if I had never been,
+  But still increas’d the senseless happy mass,
+  Flow’d in the stream, or shiver’d in the grass?
+    "Father of mercies! why from silent earth
+  Didst thou awake, and curse me into birth?
+  Tear me from quiet, ravish me from night,
+  And make a thankless present of thy light?
+  Push into being a reverse of thee,
+  And animate a clod with misery?
+    "The beasts are happy; they come forth, and keep
+  Short watch on earth, and then lie down to sleep.
+  Pain is for man; and oh! how vast a pain
+  For crimes, which made the Godhead bleed in vain!
+  Annull’d his groans, as far as in them lay,
+  And flung his agonies, and death, away!
+  As our dire punishment for ever strong,
+  Our constitution too for ever young,
+  Curs’d with returns of vigour, still the same,
+  Powerful to bear, and satisfy the flame:
+  Still to be caught, and still to be pursu’d!
+  To perish still, and still to be renew’d!
+    "And this, my help! my God! at thy decree?
+  Nature is chang’d, and hell should succour me.
+  And canst thou then look down from perfect bliss,
+  And see me plunging in the dark abyss?
+  Calling thee Father, in a sea of fire?
+  Or pouring blasphemies at thy desire?
+  With mortals’ anguish wilt thou raise thy name,
+  And by my pangs omnipotence proclaim?
+    "Thou, who canst toss the planets to and fro,
+  Contract not thy great vengeance to my woe;
+  Crush worlds; in hotter flames fall’n angels lay;
+  On me Almighty wrath is cast away.
+  Call back thy thunders, Lord, hold in thy rage,
+  Nor with a speck of wretchedness engage:
+  Forget me quite, nor stoop a worm to blame;
+  But lose me in the greatness of thy name.
+  Thou art all love, all mercy, all divine,
+  And shall I make these glories cease to shine?
+  Shall sinful man grow great by his offence,
+  And from its course turn back Omnipotence?
+    "Forbid it! and oh! grant, great God, at least
+  This one, this slender, almost no request;
+  When I have wept a thousand lives away,
+  When torment is grown weary of its prey,
+  When I have rav’d ten thousand years in fire,
+  Ten thousand thousand, let me then expire."
+    Deep anguish! but too late; the hopeless soul,
+  Bound to the bottom of the burning pool,
+  Though loth, and ever loud blaspheming, owns
+  He’s justly doom’d to pour eternal groans;
+  Enclos’d with horrors, and transfix’d with pain,
+  Rolling in vengeance, struggling with his chain:
+  To talk to fiery tempests; to implore
+  The raging flame to give its burnings o’er;
+  To toss, to writhe, to pant beneath his load,
+  And bear the weight of an offended God.
+    The favour’d of their Judge, in triumph move
+  To take possession of their thrones above;
+  Satan’s accurs’d desertion to supply,
+  And fill the vacant stations of the sky;
+  Again to kindle long-extinguish’d rays,
+  And with new lights dilate the heavenly blaze;
+  To crop the roses of immortal youth,
+  And drink the fountain-head of sacred truth
+  To swim in seas of bliss, to strike the string,
+  And lift the voice to their Almighty King;
+  To lose eternity in grateful lays,
+  And fill heaven’s wide circumference with praise.
+    But I attempt the wondrous height in vain,
+  And leave unfinish’d the too lofty strain:
+  What boldly I begin, let others end;
+  My strength exhausted, fainting I descend,
+  And choose a less, but no ignoble, theme,
+  Dissolving elements, and worlds, in flame.
+    The fatal period, the great hour, is come,
+  And nature shrinks at her approaching doom;
+  Loud peals of thunder give the sign, and all
+  Heaven’s terrors in array surround the ball;
+  Sharp lightnings with the meteor’s blaze conspire,
+  And, darted downward, set the world on fire;
+  Black rising clouds the thicken’d ether choke,
+  And spiry flames dart through the rolling smoke,
+  With keen vibrations cut the sullen night,
+  And strike the darken’d sky with dreadful light;
+  From heaven’s four regions, with immortal force,
+  Angels drive on the wind’s impetuous course,
+  T’ enrage the flame: It spreads, it soars on high,
+  Swells in the storm, and billows through the sky:
+  Here winding pyramids of fire ascend,
+  Cities and deserts in one ruin blend;
+  Here blazing volumes wafted, overwhelm
+  The spacious face of a far distant realm;
+  There, undermin’d, down rush eternal hills,
+  The neighb’ring vales the vast destruction fills.
+    Hear’st thou that dreadful crack? that sound which broke
+  Like peals of thunder, and the centre shook?
+  What wonders must that groan of nature tell?
+  Olympus there, and mightier Atlas, fell;
+  Which seem’d above the reach of fate to stand,
+  A tow’ring monument of God’s right hand;
+  Now dust and smoke, whose brow, so lately, spread
+  O’er shelter’d countries its diffusive shade.
+    Show me that celebrated spot, where all
+  The various rulers of the sever’d ball
+  Have humbly sought wealth, honour, and redress,
+  That land which heaven seem’d diligent to bless,
+  Once call’d Britannia: can her glories end?
+  And can’t surrounding seas her realms defend?
+  Alas! in flames behold surrounding seas!
+  Like oil, their waters but augment the blaze.
+    Some angel say, where ran proud Asia’s bound?
+  Or where with fruits was fair Europa crown’d?
+  Where stretch’d waste Lybia? Where did India’s shore
+  Sparkle in diamonds, and her golden ore?
+  Each lost in each, their mingling kingdoms glow,
+  And all dissolv’d, one fiery deluge flow:
+  Thus earth’s contending monarchies are join’d,
+  And a full period of ambition find.
+    And now whate’er or swims, or walks, or flies,
+  Inhabitants of sea, or earth, or skies;
+  All on whom Adam’s wisdom fix’d a name,
+  All plunge, and perish in the conquering flame.
+    This globe alone would but defraud the fire,
+  Starve its devouring rage: the flakes aspire,
+  And catch the clouds, and make the heavens their prey;
+  The sun, the moon, the stars, all melt away;
+  All, all is lost; no monument, no sign,
+  Where once so proudly blaz’d the gay machine.
+  So bubbles on the foaming stream expire,
+  So sparks that scatter from the kindling fire;
+  The devastations of one dreadful hour
+  The great Creator’s six days’ work devour.
+  A mighty, mighty ruin! yet one soul
+  Has more to boast, and far outweighs the whole
+  Exalted in superior excellence,
+  Casts down to nothing, such a vast expense.
+  Have you not seen th’ eternal mountains nod,
+  An earth dissolving, a descending God?
+  What strange surprises through all nature ran?
+  For whom these revolutions, but for man?
+  For him, Omnipotence new measures takes,
+  For him, through all eternity, awakes;
+  Pours on him gifts sufficient to supply
+  Heaven’s loss, and with fresh glories fill the sky.
+    Think deeply then, O man, how great thou art;
+  Pay thyself homage with a trembling heart;
+  What angels guard, no longer dare neglect,
+  Slighting thyself, affront not God’s respect.
+  Enter the sacred temple of thy breast,
+  And gaze, and wander there, a ravish’d guest;
+  Gaze on those hidden treasures thou shalt find,
+  Wander through all the glories of thy mind.
+  Of perfect knowledge, see, the dawning light
+  Foretells a noon most exquisitely bright!
+  Here, springs of endless joy are breaking forth!
+  There, buds the promise of celestial worth!
+  Worth, which must ripen in a happier clime,
+  And brighter sun, beyond the bounds of time.
+  Thou, minor, canst not guess thy vast estate,
+  What stores, on foreign coasts, thy landing wait:
+  Lose not thy claim, let virtue’s path be trod;
+  Thus glad all heaven, and please that bounteous God,
+  Who, to light thee to pleasures, hung on high
+  Yon radiant orb, proud regent of the sky:
+  That service done, its beams shall fade away,

+
+  From lofty themes, from thoughts that soar’d on high,
+  And open’d wondrous scenes above the sky,
+  My muse descend: indulge my fond desire;
+  With softer thoughts my melting soul inspire,
+  And smooth my numbers to a female’s praise:
+  A partial world will listen to my lays,
+  While Anna reigns, and sets a female name
+  Unrival’d in the glorious lists of fame.
+    Hear, ye fair daughters of this happy land,
+  Whose radiant eyes the vanquish’d world command,
+  Virtue is beauty: but when charms of mind
+  With elegance of outward form are join’d;
+  When youth makes such bright objects still more bright,
+  And fortune sets them in the strongest light;
+  ’Tis all of heaven that we below may view,
+  And all, but adoration, is your due.
+  Fam’d female virtue did this isle adorn,
+  Ere Ormond, or her glorious queen, was born:
+  When now Maria’s powerful arms prevail’d,
+  And haughty Dudley’s bold ambition fail’d,
+  The beauteous daughter of great Suffolk’s race,
+  In blooming youth adorn’d with every grace;
+  Who gain’d a crown by treason not her own,
+  And innocently fill’d another’s throne;
+  Hurl’d from the summit of imperial state,
+  With equal mind sustain’d the stroke of fate.
+    But how will Guilford, her far dearer part,
+  With manly reason fortify his heart?
+  At once she longs, and is afraid, to know:
+  Now swift she moves, and now advances slow,
+  To find her lord; and, finding, passes by,
+  Silent with fear, nor dares she meet his eye;
+  Lest that, unask’d, in speechless grief, disclose
+  The mournful secret of his inward woes.
+  Thus, after sickness, doubtful of her face,
+  The melancholy virgin shuns the glass.
+    At length, with troubled thought, but look serene,
+  And sorrow soften’d by her heavenly mien,
+  She clasps her lord, brave, beautiful, and young,
+  While tender accents melt upon her tongue;
+  Gentle, and sweet, as vernal zephyr blows,
+  Fanning the lily, or the blooming rose.
+    "Grieve not, my lord; a crown indeed is lost;
+  What far outshines a crown, we still may boast;
+  A mind compos’d; a mind that can disdain
+  A fruitless sorrow for a loss so vain.
+  Nothing is loss that virtue can improve
+  To wealth eternal; and return above;
+  Above, where no distinction shall be known
+  ’Twixt him whom storms have shaken from a throne,
+  And him, who, basking in the smiles of fate,
+  Shone forth in all the splendour of the great:
+  Nor can I find the diff’rence here below;
+  I lately was a queen; I still am so,
+  While Guilford’s wife: thee rather I obey,
+  Than o’er mankind extend imperial sway.
+  When we lie down in some obscure retreat,
+  Incens’d Maria may her rage forget;
+  And I to death my duty will improve,
+  And what you miss in empire, add in love—
+  Your godlike soul is open’d in your look,
+  And I have faintly your great meaning spoke,
+  For this alone I’m pleas’d I wore the crown,
+  To find with what content we lay it down.
+  Heroes may win, but ’t is a heavenly race
+  Can quit a throne with a becoming grace."
+    Thus spoke the fairest of her sex, and cheer’d
+  Her drooping lord; whose boding bosom fear’d
+  A darker cloud of ills would burst, and shed
+  Severer vengeance on her guiltless head:
+  Too just, alas, the terrors which he felt!
+  For, lo! a guard!—Forgive him, if he melt—
+  How sharp her pangs, when sever’d from his side,
+  The most sincerely lov’d, and loving bride,
+  In space confin’d, the muse forbears to tell;
+  Deep was her anguish, but she bore it well.
+  His pain was equal, but his virtue less;
+  He thought in grief there could be no excess.
+  Pensive he sat, o’ercast with gloomy care,
+  And often fondly clasp’d his absent fair;
+  Now, silent, wander’d thro’ his rooms of state,
+  And sicken’d at the pomp, and tax’d his fate;
+  Which thus adorn’d, in all her shining store,
+  A splendid wretch, magnificently poor.
+  Now on the bridal-bed his eyes were cast,
+  And anguish fed on his enjoyments past;
+  Each recollected pleasure made him smart,
+  And every transport stabb’d him to the heart.
+    That happy moon, which summon’d to delight,
+  That moon which shone on his dear nuptial night,
+  Which saw him fold her yet untasted charms
+  (Denied to princes) in his longing arms;
+  Now sees the transient blessing fleet away,
+  Empire and love! the vision of a day.
+    Thus, in the British clime, a summer-storm
+  Will oft the smiling face of heaven deform;
+  The winds with violence at once descend,
+  Sweep flowers and fruits, and make the forest bend;
+  A sudden winter, while the sun is near,
+  O’ercomes the season, and inverts the year.
+    But whither is the captive borne away,
+  The beauteous captive, from the cheerful day?
+  The scene is chang’d indeed; before her eyes
+  Ill boding looks and unknown horrors rise:
+  For pomp and splendour, for her guard and crown,
+  A gloomy dungeon, and a keeper’s frown:
+  Black thoughts, each morn, invade the lover’s breast,
+  Each night, a ruffian locks the queen to rest.
+    Ah mournful change, if judg’d by vulgar minds!
+  But Suffolk’s daughter its advantage finds.
+  Religion’s force divine is best display’d
+  In deep desertion of all human aid:
+  To succour in extremes, is her delight,
+  And cheer the heart, when terror strikes the sight.
+  We, disbelieving our own senses, gaze,
+  And wonder what a mortal’s heart can raise
+  To triumph o’er misfortunes, smile in grief,
+  And comfort those who come to bring relief:
+  We gaze; and as we gaze, wealth, fame, decay,
+  And all the world’s vain glories fade away.
+    Against her cares she rais’d a dauntless mind,
+  And with an ardent heart, but most resign’d,
+  Deep in the dreadful gloom, with pious heat,
+  Amid the silence of her dark retreat,
+  Address’d her God,—"Almighty power divine!
+  ’Tis thine to raise, and to depress, is thine;
+  With honour to light up the name unknown,
+  Or to put out the lustre of a throne.
+  In my short span both fortunes I have prov’d,
+  And though with ill frail nature will be mov’d,
+  I’ll bear it well: (O strengthen me to bear!)
+  And if my piety may claim thy care;
+  If I remember’d, in youth’s giddy heat,
+  And tumult of a court, a future state;
+  O favour, when thy mercy I implore
+  For one who never guilty sceptre bore!
+  ’Twas I receiv’d the crown; my lord is free;
+  If it must fall, let vengeance fall on me.
+  Let him survive, his country’s name to raise,
+  And in a guilty land to speak thy praise!
+  O may th’ indulgence of a father’s love,
+  Pour’d forth on me, be doubled from above!
+  If these are safe, I’ll think my prayers succeed,
+  And bless thy tender mercies, whilst I bleed."
+    ’Twas now the mournful eve before that day
+  In which the queen to her full wrath gave way;
+  Thro’ rigid justice, rush’d into offence,
+  And drank in zeal the blood of innocence:
+  The sun went down in clouds, and seem’d to mourn
+  The sad necessity of his return;
+  The hollow wind, and melancholy rain,
+  Or did, or was imagin’d to, complain:
+  The tapers cast an inauspicious light;
+  Stars there were none, and doubly dark the night.
+    Sweet innocence in chains can take her rest;
+  Soft slumber gently creeping through her breast,
+  She sinks; and in her sleep is reinthron’d,
+  Mock’d by a gaudy dream, and vainly crown’d.
+  She views her fleets and armies, seas and land,
+  And stretches wide her shadow of command:
+  With royal purple is her vision hung;
+  By phantom hosts are shouts of conquest rung;
+  Low at her feet the suppliant rival lies;
+  Our prisoner mourns her fate, and bids her rise.
+  Now level beams upon the waters play’d,
+  Glanc’d on the hills, and westward cast the shade;
+  The busy trades in city had began
+  To sound, and speak the painful life of man.
+  In tyrants’ breasts the thoughts of vengeance rouse,
+  And the fond bridegroom turns him to his spouse.
+  At this first birth of light, while morning breaks,
+  Our spouseless bride, our widow’d wife, awakes;
+  Awakes, and smiles; nor night’s imposture blames;
+  Her real pomps were little more than dreams;
+  A short-liv’d blaze, a lightning quickly o’er,
+  That died in birth, that shone, and were no more:
+  She turns her side, and soon resumes a state
+  Of mind, well suited to her alter’d fate,
+  Serene, though serious; when dread tidings come
+  (Ah wretched Guilford!) of her instant doom.
+  Sun, hide thy beams; in clouds as black as night
+  Thy face involve; be guiltless of the sight;
+  Or haste more swiftly to the western main;
+  Nor let her blood the conscious daylight stain!
+    Oh! how severe! to fall so new a bride,
+  Yet blushing from the priest, in youthful pride;
+  When time had just matur’d each perfect grace,
+  And open’d all the wonders of her face!
+  To leave her Guilford dead to all relief,
+  Fond of his woe, and obstinate in grief.
+  Unhappy fair! whatever fancy drew,
+  (Vain promis’d blessings,) vanish from her view;
+  No train of cheerful days, endearing nights,
+  No sweet domestic joys, and chaste delights;
+  Pleasures that blossom e’en from doubts and fears;
+  And bliss and rapture rising out of cares:
+  No little Guilford, with paternal grace,
+  Lull’d on her knee, or smiling in her face;
+  Who, when her dearest father shall return,
+  From pouring tears on her untimely urn,
+  Might comfort to his silver hairs impart,
+  And fill her place in his indulgent heart:
+  As where fruits fall, quick rising blossoms smile,
+  And the bless’d Indian of his care beguile,
+    In vain these various reasons jointly press,
+  To blacken death, and heighten her distress;
+  She, thro’ th’ encircling terrors darts her sight
+  To the bless’d regions of eternal light,
+  And fills her soul with peace: to weeping friends
+  Her father, and her lord, she recommends;
+  Unmov’d herself: her foes her air survey,
+  And rage to see their malice thrown away.
+  She soars; now nought on earth detains her care——
+  But Guilford; who still struggles for his share.
+  Still will his form importunately rise,
+  Clog and retard her transport to the skies;
+  As trembling flames now take a feeble flight,
+  Now catch the brand with a returning light,
+  Thus her soul onward from the seats above
+  Falls fondly back, and kindles into love:
+  At length she conquers in the doubtful field;
+  That heaven she seeks will be her Guilford’s shield.
+  Now death is welcome; his approach is slow;
+  ’Tis tedious longer to expect the blow.
+  Oh! mortals, short of sight, who think the past
+  O’erblown misfortune still shall prove the last:
+  Alas! misfortunes travel in a train,
+  And oft in life form one perpetual chain;
+  Fear buries fear, and ills on ills attend,
+  Till life and sorrow meet one common end.
+    She thinks that she has nought but death to fear,
+  And death is conquer’d. Worse than death is near.
+  Her rigid trials are not yet complete;
+  The news arrives of her great father’s fate.
+  She sees his hoary head, all white with age,
+  A victim to th’ offended monarch’s rage.
+  How great the mercy, had she breath’d her last,
+  Ere the dire sentence on her father past!
+    A fonder parent nature never knew;
+  And as his age increas’d, his fondness grew.
+  A parent’s love ne’er better was bestow’d;
+  The pious daughter in her heart o’erflow’d.
+  And can she from all weakness still refrain?
+  And still the firmness of her soul maintain?
+  Impossible! a sigh will force its way;
+  One patient tear her mortal birth betray;
+  She sighs and weeps! but so she weeps and sighs,
+  As silent dews descend, and vapours rise.
+    Celestial patience! how dost thou defeat
+  The foe’s proud menace, and elude his hate!
+  While passion takes his part, betrays our peace;
+  To death and torture swells each slight disgrace;
+  By not opposing, thou dost ills destroy,
+  And wear thy conquer’d sorrows into joy.
+  Now she revolves within her anxious mind,
+  What woe still lingers in reserve behind.
+  Griefs rise on griefs, and she can see no bound,
+  While nature lasts, and can receive a wound.
+  The sword is drawn; the queen to rage inclin’d,
+  By mercy, nor by piety, confin’d.
+  What mercy can the zealot’s heart assuage,
+  Whose piety itself converts to rage?
+  She thought, and sigh’d. And now the blood began
+  To leave her beauteous cheek all cold and wan.
+  New sorrow dimm’d the lustre of her eye,
+  And on her cheek the fading roses die.
+  Alas! should Guilford too—when now she’s brought
+  To that dire view, that precipice of thought,
+  While there she trembling stands, nor dares look down,
+  Nor can recede, till heaven’s decrees are known;
+  Cure of all ills, till now, her lord appears—
+  But not to cheer her heart, and dry her tears!
+  Not now, as usual, like the rising day,
+  To chase the shadows, and the damps away:
+  But, like a gloomy storm, at once to sweep
+  And plunge her to the bottom of the deep.
+  Black were his robes, dejected was his air,
+  His voice was frozen by his cold despair;
+  Slow, like a ghost, he mov’d with solemn pace;
+  A dying paleness sat upon his face.
+  Back she recoil’d, she smote her lovely breast,
+  Her eyes the anguish of her heart confess’d;
+  Struck to the soul, she stagger’d with the wound,
+  And sunk, a breathless image, to the ground.
+    Thus the fair lily, when the sky’s o’ercast,
+  At first but shudders in the feeble blast;
+  But when the winds and weighty rains descend,
+  The fair and upright stem is forc’d to bend;
+  Till broke at length, its snowy leaves are shed,
+  And strew with dying sweets their native bed.

+
+  Her Guilford clasps her, beautiful in death,
+  And with a kiss recalls her fleeting breath,
+  To tapers thus, which by a blast expire,
+  A lighted taper, touch’d, restores the fire:
+  She rear’d her swimming eye, and saw the light,
+  And Guilford too, or she had loath’d the sight:
+  Her father’s death she bore, despis’d her own,
+  But now she must, she will, have leave to groan:
+  Ah! Guilford, she began, and would have spoke;
+  But sobs rush’d in, and ev’ry accent broke:
+  Reason itself, as gusts of passion blew,
+  Was ruffled in the tempest, and withdrew.
+    So the youth lost his image in the well,
+  When tears upon the yielding surface fell.
+  The scatter’d features slid into decay,
+  And spreading circles drove his face away.
+  To touch the soft affections, and control
+  The manly temper of the bravest soul,
+  What with afflicted beauty can compare,
+  And drops of love distilling from the fair?
+  It melts us down; our pains delight bestow;
+  And we with fondness languish o’er our woe.
+    This Guilford prov’d; and, with excess of pain,
+  And pleasure too, did to his bosom strain
+  The weeping fair: sunk deep in soft desire,
+  Indulg’d his love, and nurs’d the raging fire:
+  Then tore himself away; and, standing wide,
+  As fearing a relapse of fondness, cried,
+  With ill-dissembled grief; "My life, forbear!
+  You wound your Guilford with each cruel tear:
+  Did you not chide my grief? repress your own;
+  Nor want compassion for yourself alone:
+  Have you beheld, how, from the distant main,
+  The thronging waves roll on, a num’rous train,
+  And foam, and bellow, till they reach the shore;
+  There burst their noisy pride, and are no more?
+  Thus the successive flows of human race,
+  Chas’d by the coming, the preceding, chase;
+  They sound, and swell, their haughty heads they rear;
+  Then fall, and flatten, break, and disappear.
+  Life is a forfeit we must shortly pay;
+  And where’s the mighty lucre of a day?
+  Why should you mourn my fate? ’tis most unkind;
+  Your own you bore with an unshaken mind:
+  And which, can you imagine, was the dart
+  That drank most blood, sunk deepest in my heart?
+  I cannot live without you; and my doom
+  I meet with joy, to share one common tomb.—
+  And are again your tears profusely spilt!
+  Oh! then, my kindness blackens to my guilt;
+  It foils itself, if it recall your pain;—
+  Life of my life, I beg you to refrain!
+  The load which fate imposes, you increase;
+  And help Maria to destroy my peace."
+    But, oh! against himself his labour turn’d;
+  The more he comforted, the more she mourn’d:
+  Compassion swells our grief; words soft and kind
+  But soothe our weakness, and dissolve the mind:
+  Her sorrow flow’d in streams; nor hers alone,
+  While that he blam’d, he yielded to his own.
+  Where are the smiles she wore, when she, so late,
+  Hail’d him great partner of the regal state;
+  When orient gems around her temples blaz’d,
+  And bending nations on the glory gaz’d?
+    ’Tis now the queen’s command, they both retreat,
+  To weep with dignity, and mourn in state:
+  She forms the decent misery with joy,
+  And loads with pomp the wretch she would destroy.
+  A spacious hall is hung with black; all light
+  Shut out, and noon-day darken’d into night.
+  From the mid-roof a lamp depends on high,
+  Like a dim crescent in a clouded sky:
+  It sheds a quiv’ring melancholy gloom,
+  Which only shows the darkness of the room.
+  A shining axe is on the table laid;
+  A dreadful sight! and glitters through the shade.
+    In this sad scene the lovers are confin’d;
+  A scene of terrors, to a guilty mind!
+  A scene, that would have damp’d with rising cares,
+  And quite extinguish’d every love but theirs.
+  What can they do? They fix their mournful eyes——
+  Then Guilford, thus abruptly; "I despise
+  An empire lost; I fling away the crown;
+  Numbers have laid that bright delusion down;
+  But where’s the Charles, or Dioclesian where,
+  Could quit the blooming, wedded, weeping fair?
+  Oh! to dwell ever on thy lip! to stand
+  In full possession of thy snowy hand!
+  And, thro’ th’ unclouded crystal of thine eye,
+  The heavenly treasures of thy mind to spy!
+  Till rapture reason happily destroys,
+  And my soul wanders through immortal joys!
+  Give me the world, and ask me, where’s my bliss?
+  I clasp thee to my breast, and answer, this.
+  And shall the grave"—He groans, and can no more;
+  But all her charms in silence traces o’er;
+  Her lip, her cheek, and eye, to wonder wrought;
+  And, wond’ring, sees, in sad presaging thought,
+  From that fair neck, that world of beauty fall,
+  And roll along the dust, a ghastly ball!
+    Oh! let those tremble, who are greatly bless’d!
+  For who, but Guilford, could be thus distress’d?
+  Come hither, all you happy, all you great,
+  From flowery meadows, and from rooms of state;
+  Nor think I call, your pleasures to destroy,
+  But to refine, and to exalt your joy:
+  Weep not; but, smiling, fix your ardent care
+  On nobler titles than the brave or fair.
+    Was ever such a mournful, moving sight?
+  See, if you can, by that dull, trembling light:
+  Now they embrace; and, mix’d with bitter woe,
+  Like Isis and her Thames, one stream they flow:
+  Now they start wide; fix’d in benumbing care,
+  They stiffen into statues of despair:
+  Now, tenderly severe, and fiercely kind,
+  They rush at once; they fling their cares behind,
+  And clasp, as if to death; new vows repeat;
+  And, quite wrapp’d up in love, forget their fate.
+  A short delusion! for the raging pain
+  Returns; and their poor hearts must bleed again.
+    Meantime, the queen new cruelty decreed;
+  But, ill content that they should only bleed,
+  A priest is sent; who, with insidious art,
+  Instills his poison into Suffolk’s heart;
+  And Guilford drank it: banging on the breast,
+  He from his childhood was with Rome possest.
+  When now the ministers of death draw nigh,
+  And in her dearest lord she first must die,
+  The subtle priest, who long had watch’d to find
+  The most unguarded passes of her mind,
+  Bespoke her thus: "Grieve not; ’tis in your power
+  Your lord to rescue from this fatal hour."
+  Her bosom pants; she draws her breath with pain;
+  A sudden horror thrills through every vein;
+  Life seems suspended, on his words intent;
+  And her soul trembles for the great event.
+    The priest proceeds: "Embrace the faith of Rome,
+  And ward your own, your lord’s, and father’s doom."
+  Ye blessed spirits! now your charge sustain;
+  The past was ease; now first she suffers pain.
+  Must she pronounce her father’s death? must she
+  Bid Guilford bleed?—It must not, cannot, be.
+  It cannot be! But ’tis the Christian’s praise,
+  Above impossibilities to raise
+  The weakness of our nature; and deride
+  Of vain philosophy the boasted pride.
+  What though our feeble sinews scarce impart
+  A moment’s swiftness to the feather’d dart;
+  Though tainted air our vig’rous youth can break,
+  And a chill blast the hardy warrior shake,
+  Yet are we strong: hear the loud tempest roar
+  From east to west, and call us weak no more;
+  The lightning’s unresisted force proclaims
+  Our might; and thunders raise our humble names;
+  ’Tis our Jehovah fills the heavens; as long
+  As he shall reign Almighty, we are strong:
+  We, by devotion, borrow from his throne;
+  And almost make Omnipotence our own:
+  We force the gates of heaven, by fervent prayer;
+  And call forth triumph out of man’s despair.
+    Our lovely mourner, kneeling, lifts her eyes
+  And bleeding heart, in silence, to the skies,
+  Devoutly sad—then, bright’ning, like the day,
+  When sudden winds sweep scatter’d clouds away,
+  Shining in majesty, till now unknown,
+  And breathing life and spirit scarce her own;
+  She, rising, speaks: "If these the terms——"
+    Here, Guilford, cruel Guilford, (barb’rous man!
+  Is this thy love?) as swift as lightning ran;
+  O’erwhelm’d her with tempestuous sorrow fraught,
+  And stifled, in its birth, the mighty thought;
+  Then bursting fresh into a flood of tears,
+  Fierce, resolute, delirious with his fears;
+  His fears for her alone: he beat his breast,
+  And thus the fervour of his soul exprest:
+  "Oh! let thy thought o’er our past converse rove,
+  And show one moment uninflam’d with love!
+  Oh! if thy kindness can no longer last,
+  In pity to thyself, forget the past!
+  Else wilt thou never, void of shame and fear,
+  Pronounce his doom, whom thou hast held so dear:
+  Thou who hast took me to thy arms, and swore
+  Empires were vile, and fate could give no more:
+  That to continue, was its utmost power,
+  And make the future like the present hour.
+  Now call a ruffian; bid his cruel sword
+  Lay wide the bosom of thy worthless lord;
+  Transfix his heart (since you its love disclaim),
+  And stain his honour with a traitor’s name.
+  This might perhaps be borne without remorse;
+  But sure a father’s pangs will have their force!
+  Shall his good age, so near its journey’s end,
+  Through cruel torment to the grave descend?
+  His shallow blood all issue at a wound,
+  Wash a slave’s feet, and smoke upon the ground?
+  But he to you has ever been severe;
+  Then take your vengeance"—Suffolk now drew near;
+  Bending beneath the burden of his care;
+  His robes neglected, and his head was bare;
+  Decrepid winter, in the yearly ring,
+  Thus slowly creeps, to meet the blooming spring:
+  Downward he cast a melancholy look;
+  Thrice turn’d, to hide his grief; then faintly spoke:
+  "Now deep in years, and forward in decay,
+  That axe can only rob me of a day;
+  For thee, my soul’s desire! I can’t refrain;
+  And shall my tears, my last tears, flow in vain?
+  When you shall know a mother’s tender name,
+  My heart’s distress no longer will you blame."
+  At this, afar his bursting groans were heard;
+  The tears ran trickling down his silver beard:
+  He snatch’d her hand, which to his lips he prest,
+  And bid her plant a dagger in his breast;
+  Then, sinking, call’d her piety unjust,
+  And soil’d his hoary temples in the dust.
+    Hard-hearted men! will you no mercy know?
+  Has the queen brib’d you to distress her foe?
+  O weak deserters to misfortune’s part,
+  By false affection thus to pierce her heart!
+  When she had soar’d, to let your arrows fly,
+  And fetch her bleeding from the middle sky!
+  And can her virtue, springing from the ground,
+  Her flight recover, and disdain the wound,
+  When cleaving love, and human interest, bind
+  The broken force of her aspiring mind;
+  As round the gen’rous eagle, which in vain
+  Exerts her strength, the serpent wreaths his train,
+  Her struggling wings entangles, curling plies
+  His pois’nous tail, and stings her as she flies!
+    While yet the blow’s first dreadful weight she feels,
+  And with its force her resolution reels;
+  Large doors, unfolding with a mournful sound,
+  To view discover, welt’ring on the ground,
+  Three headless trunks, of those whose arms maintain’d,
+  And in her wars immortal glory gain’d:
+  The lifted axe assur’d her ready doom,
+  And silent mourners sadden’d all the room.
+  Shall I proceed; or here break off my tale;
+  Nor truths, to stagger human faith, reveal?
+    She met this utmost malice of her fate
+  With Christian dignity, and pious state:
+  The beating storm’s propitious rage she blest,
+  And all the martyr triumph’d in her breast:
+  Her lord and father, for a moment’s space,
+  She strictly folded in her soft embrace!
+  Then thus she spoke, while angels heard on high,
+  And sudden gladness smil’d along the sky:
+    "Your over fondness has not mov’d my hate;
+  I am well pleas’d you make my death so great;
+  I joy I cannot save you; and have giv’n
+  Two lives, much dearer than my own, to heaven,
+  If so the queen decrees:(4)—But I have cause
+  To hope my blood will satisfy the laws;
+  And there is mercy still, for you, in store:
+  With me the bitterness of death is o’er.
+  He shot his sting in that farewell embrace;
+  And all, that is to come, is joy and peace.
+  Then let mistaken sorrow be supprest,
+  Nor seem to envy my approaching rest."
+  Then, turning to the ministers of fate,
+  She, smiling, says, "My victory complete:
+  And tell your queen, I thank her for the blow,
+  And grieve my gratitude I cannot show:
+  A poor return I leave in England’s crown,
+  For everlasting pleasure, and renown:
+  Her guilt alone allays this happy hour;
+  Her guilt,—the only vengeance in her power."
+    Not Rome, untouch’d with sorrow, heard her fate;
+  And fierce Maria pitied her too late.

+
+
+                    In Seven Characteristical Satires.
+
+
+      ——Fulgente trahit constrictos gloria curru.
+      Non minus ignotos generosis.
+
+                                                                 —HOR.
+
+
+
+
+                                 Preface.
+
+
+These satires have been favourably received at home and abroad. I am not
+conscious of the least malevolence to any particular person through all
+the characters; though some persons may be so selfish, as to engross a
+general application to themselves. A writer in polite letters should be
+content with reputation; the private amusement he finds in his
+compositions; the good influence they have on his severer studies; that
+admission they give him to his superiors; and the possible good effect
+they may have on the public; or else he should join to his politeness some
+more lucrative qualification.
+
+But it is possible, that satire may not do much good: men may rise in
+their affections to their follies, as they do to their friends, when they
+are abused by others: it is much to be feared, that misconduct will never
+be chased out of the world by satire; all therefore that is to be said for
+it is, that misconduct will certainly be never chased out of the world by
+satire, if no satires are written: nor is that term unapplicable to graver
+compositions. Ethics, heathen and Christian, and the Scriptures
+themselves, are, in a great measure, a satire on the weakness and iniquity
+of men; and some part of that satire is in verse too: nay, in the first
+ages, philosophy and poetry were the same thing; wisdom wore no other
+dress: so that, I hope, these satires will be the more easily pardoned
+that misfortune by the severe. Nay, historians themselves may be
+considered as satirists, and satirists most severe; since such are most
+human actions, that to relate, is to expose them.
+
+No man can converse much in the world, but, at what he meets with, he must
+either be insensible, or grieve, or be angry, or smile. Some passion (if
+we are not impassive) must be moved; for the general conduct of mankind is
+by no means a thing indifferent to a reasonable and virtuous man. Now to
+smile at it, and turn it into ridicule, I think most eligible; as it hurts
+ourselves least, and gives vice and folly the greatest offence: and that
+for this reason; because what men aim at by them, is, generally, public
+opinion and esteem; which truth is the subject of the following satire;
+and joins them together, as several brandies from the same root: a unity
+of design, which has not, I think, in a set of satires, been attempted
+before.
+
+Laughing at the misconduct of the world, will, in a great measure, ease us
+of any more disagreeable passion about it. One passion is more effectually
+driven out by another, than by reason; whatever some may teach: for to
+reason we owe our passions: had we not reason, we should not be offended
+at what we find amiss: and the cause seems not to be the natural cure of
+any effect.
+
+Moreover, laughing satire bids the fairest for success: the world is too
+proud to be fond of a serious tutor; and when an author is in a passion,
+the laugh, generally, as in conversation, turns against him. This kind of
+satire only has any delicacy in it. Of this delicacy Horace is the best
+master: he appears in good humour while he censures; and therefore his
+censure has the more weight, as supposed to proceed from judgment, not
+from passion. Juvenal is ever in a passion; he has little valuable but his
+eloquence and morality: the last of which I have had in my eye: but rather
+for emulation, than imitation, through my whole work.
+
+But though I comparatively condemn Juvenal, in part of the sixth satire
+(where the occasion most required it), I endeavoured to touch on his
+manner; but was forced to quit it soon, as disagreeable to the writer, and
+reader too. Boileau has joined both the Roman satirists with great
+success; but has too much of Juvenal in his very serious satire on woman,
+which should have been the gayest of all. An excellent critic of our own
+commends Boileau’s closeness, or, as he calls it, pressness, particularly;
+whereas, it appears to me, that repetition is his fault, if any fault
+should be imputed to him.
+
+There are some prose satirists of the greatest delicacy and wit; the last
+of which can never, or should never, succeed without the former. An author
+without it, betrays too great a contempt for mankind, and opinion of
+himself, which are bad advocates for reputation and success. What a
+difference is there between the merit, if not the wit, of Cervantes and
+Rabelais? The last has a particular art of throwing a great deal of genius
+and learning into frolic and jest; but the genius and the scholar is all
+you can admire; you want the gentleman to converse with in him: he is like
+a criminal who receives his life for some services; you commend, but you
+pardon too. Indecency offends our pride, as men; and our unaffected taste,
+as judges of composition: nature has wisely formed us with an aversion to
+it; and he that succeeds in spite of it, is,(5) aliena venia, quam sua
+providentia tutior.
+
+Such wits, like false oracles of old (which were wits and cheats), should
+set up for reputation among the weak, in some Bœotia, which was the land
+of oracles; for the wise will hold them in contempt. Some wits, too, like
+oracles, deal in ambiguities; but not with equal success: for though
+ambiguities are the first excellence of an impostor, they are the last of
+a wit.
+
+Some satirical wits and humourists, like their father Lucian, laugh at
+every thing indiscriminately; which betrays such a poverty of wit, as
+cannot afford to part with any thing; and such a want of virtue, as to
+postpone it to a jest. Such writers encourage vice and folly, which they
+pretend to combat, by setting them on an equal foot with better things:
+and while they labour to bring every thing into contempt, how can they
+expect their own parts should escape? Some French writers, particularly,
+are guilty of this in matters of the last consequence; and some of our
+own. They that are for lessening the true dignity of mankind, are not sure
+of being successful, but with regard to one individual in it. It is this
+conduct that justly makes a wit a term of reproach.
+
+Which puts me in mind of Plato’s fable of the birth of love; one of the
+prettiest fables of all antiquity; which will hold likewise with regard to
+modern poetry. Love, says he, is the son of the goddess poverty, and the
+god of riches: he has from his father his daring genius; his elevation of
+thought; his building castles in the air; his prodigality; his neglect of
+things serious and useful; his vain opinion of his own merit; and his
+affectation of preference and distinction: from his mother he inherits his
+indigence, which makes him a constant beggar of favours; that importunity
+with which he begs; his flattery; his servility; his fear of being
+despised, which is inseparable from him. This addition may be made; viz.
+that poetry, like love, is a little subject to blindness, which makes her
+mistake her way to preferments and honours; that she has her satirical
+quiver; and, lastly, that she retains a dutiful admiration of her father’s
+family; but divides her favours, and generally lives with her mother’s
+relations.
+
+However, this is not necessity, but choice: were wisdom her governess, she
+might have much more of the father than the mother; especially in such an
+age as this, which shows a due passion for her charms.

+
+
+                     TO HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF DORSET.
+
+
+      ——Tanto major famæ sitis est, quam
+      Virtutis.
+
+                                                          JUV. SAT. X.
+
+
+  My verse is satire; Dorset, lend your ear,
+  And patronize a muse you cannot fear.
+  To poets sacred is a Dorset’s name:
+  Their wonted passport through the gates of fame:
+  It bribes the partial reader into praise,
+  And throws a glory round the shelter’d lays:
+  The dazzled judgment fewer faults can see,
+  And gives applause to Blackmore, or to me.
+  But you decline the mistress we pursue;
+  Others are fond of fame, but fame of you.
+    Instructive satire, true to virtue’s cause!
+  Thou shining supplement of public laws!
+  When flatter’d crimes of a licentious age
+  Reproach our silence, and demand our rage;
+  When purchas’d follies, from each distant land,
+  Like arts, improve in Britain’s skilful hand;
+  When the law shows her teeth, but dares not bite,
+  And south sea treasures are not brought to light;
+  When churchmen scripture for the classics quit,
+  Polite apostates from God’s grace to wit;
+  When men grow great from their revenue spent,
+  And fly from bailiffs into parliament;
+  When dying sinners, to blot out their score,
+  Bequeath the church the leavings of a whore;
+  To chafe our spleen, when themes like these increase,
+  Shall panegyric reign, and censure cease?
+    Shall poesy, like law, turn wrong to right,
+  And dedications wash an Æthiop white,
+  Set up each senseless wretch for nature’s boast,
+  On whom praise shines, as trophies on a post?
+  Shall fun’ral eloquence her colours spread,
+  And scatter roses on the wealthy dead?
+  Shall authors smile on such illustrious days,
+  And satirize with nothing—but their praise?
+    Why slumbers Pope, who leads the tuneful train,
+  Nor hears that virtue, which he loves, complain?
+  Donne, Dorset, Dryden, Rochester, are dead,
+  And guilt’s chief foe, in Addison, is fled;
+  Congreve, who, crown’d with laurels, fairly won,
+  Sits smiling at the goal, while others run,
+  He will not write; and (more provoking still!)
+  Ye gods! he will not write, and Mævius will.
+    Doubly distrest, what author shall we find
+  Discreetly daring, and severely kind,
+  The courtly(6) Roman’s shining path to tread,
+  And sharply smile prevailing folly dead?
+  Will no superior genius snatch the quill,
+  And save me, on the brink, from writing ill?
+  Tho’ vain the strife, I’ll strive my voice to raise,
+  What will not men attempt for sacred praise?
+    The love of praise, howe’er conceal’d by art,
+  Reigns, more or less, and glows, in ev’ry heart:
+  The proud, to gain it, toils on toils endure;
+  The modest shun it, but to make it sure.
+  O’er globes, and sceptres, now on thrones it swells;
+  Now, trims the midnight lamp in college cells:
+  ’Tis tory, whig; it plots, prays, preaches, pleads,
+  Harangues in senates, squeaks in masquerades.
+  Here, to Steele’s humour makes a bold pretence
+  There, bolder, aims at Pulteney’s eloquence.
+  It aids the dancer’s heel, the writer’s head,
+  And heaps the plain with mountains of the dead;
+  Nor ends with life; but nods in sable plumes,
+  Adorns our hearse, and flatters on our tombs.
+    What is not proud? The pimp is proud to see
+  So many like himself in high degree:
+  The whore is proud her beauties are the dread
+  Of peevish virtue, and the marriage-bed;
+  And the brib’d cuckold, like crown’d victims born
+  To slaughter, glories in his gilded horn.
+    Some go to church, proud humbly to repent,
+  And come back much more guilty than they went:
+  One way they look, another way they steer,
+  Pray to the gods, but would have mortals hear;
+  And when their sins they set sincerely down,
+  They’ll find that their religion has been one.
+    Others with wishful eyes on glory look,
+  When they have got their picture tow’rds a book;
+  Or pompous title, like a gaudy sign,
+  Meant to betray dull sots to wretched wine.
+  If at his title T—— had dropt his quill,
+  T—— might have pass’d for a great genius still.
+  But T——, alas! (excuse him, if you can)
+  Is now a scribbler, who was once a man.
+  Imperious some a classic fame demand,
+  For heaping up, with a laborious hand,
+  A waggon-load of meanings for one word,
+  While A’s deposed, and B with pomp restor’d.
+    Some, for renown, on scraps of learning dote,
+  And think they grow immortal as they quote.
+  To patch-work learn’d quotations are allied;
+  Both strive to make our poverty our pride.
+    On glass how witty is a noble peer!
+  Did ever diamond cost a man so dear?
+    Polite diseases make some idiots vain,
+  Which, if unfortunately well, they feign.
+    Of folly, vice, disease, men proud we see;
+  And (stranger still!) of blockheads’ flattery;
+  Whose praise defames; as if a fool should mean,
+  By spitting on your face, to make it clean.
+    Nor is’t enough all hearts are swoln with pride,
+  Her power is mighty, as her realm is wide.
+  What can she not perform? The love of fame
+  Made bold Alphonsus his Creator blame:
+  Empedocles hurl’d down the burning steep:
+  And (stronger still!) made Alexander weep.
+  Nay, it holds Delia from a second bed,
+  Tho’ her lov’d lord has four half months been dead.
+    This passion with a pimple have I seen
+  Retard a cause, and give a judge the spleen.
+  By this inspir’d (O ne’er to be forgot!)
+  Some lords have learn’d to spell, and some to knot.
+  It makes Globose a speaker in the house;
+  He hems, and is deliver’d of his mouse.
+  It makes dear self on well-bred tongues prevail,
+  And I the little hero of each tale.
+    Sick with the love of fame, what throngs pour in,
+  Unpeople court, and leave the senate thin!
+  My glowing subject seems but just begun,
+  And, chariot-like, I kindle as I run.
+  Aid me, great Homer! with thy epic rules,
+  To take a catalogue of British fools.
+  Satire! had I thy Dorset’s force divine,
+  A knave or fool should perish in each line;
+  Tho’ for the first all Westminster should plead,
+  And for the last, all Gresham intercede.
+    Begin. Who first the catalogue shall grace?
+  To quality belongs the highest place.
+  My lord comes forward; forward let him come!
+  Ye vulgar! at your peril, give him room:
+  He stands for fame on his forefathers’ feet,
+  By heraldry prov’d valiant or discreet.
+  With what a decent pride he throws his eyes
+  Above the man by three descents less wise!
+  If virtues at his noble hands you crave,
+  You bid him raise his fathers from the grave.
+  Men should press forward in fame’s glorious chase;
+  Nobles look backward, and so lose the race.
+    Let high birth triumph! What can be more great?
+  Nothing—but merit in a low estate.
+  To virtue’s humblest son let none prefer
+  Vice, though descended from the conqueror.
+  Shall men, like figures, pass for high, or base,
+  Slight, or important, only by their place?
+  Titles are marks of honest men, and wise;
+  The fool, or knave, that wears a title, lies.
+    They that on glorious ancestors enlarge,
+  Produce their debt, instead of their discharge.
+  Dorset, let those who proudly boast their line,
+  Like thee, in worth hereditary, shine.
+  Vain as false greatness is, the muse must own
+  We want not fools to buy that Bristol stone;
+  Mean sons of earth, who, on a south-sea tide
+  Of full success, swarm into wealth and pride;
+  Knock with a purse of gold at Anstis’ gate,
+  And beg to be descended from the great.
+    When men of infamy to grandeur soar,
+  They light a torch to show their shame the more.
+  Those governments which curb not evils, cause!
+  And a rich knave’s a libel on our laws.
+    Belus with solid glory will be crown’d;
+  He buys no phantom, no vain empty sound;
+  But builds himself a name; and, to be great,
+  Sinks in a quarry an immense estate!
+  In cost and grandeur, Chandos he’ll outdo;
+  And Burlington, thy taste is not so true.
+  The pile is finish’d! ev’ry toil is past;
+  And full perfection is arriv’d at last;
+  When, lo! my lord to some small corner runs,
+  And leaves state-rooms to strangers and to duns.
+    The man who builds, and wants wherewith to pay,
+  Provides a home from which to run away.
+  In Britain, what is many a lordly seat,
+  But a discharge in full for an estate?
+    In smaller compass lies Pygmalion’s fame;
+  Not domes, but antique statues, are his flame:
+  Not Fountaine’s self more Parian charms has known,
+  Nor is good Pembroke more in love with stone.
+  The bailiffs come (rude men profanely bold!)
+  And bid him turn his Venus into gold.
+  "No, sirs," he cries; "I’ll sooner rot in jail;
+  Shall Grecian arts be truck’d for English bail?"
+  Such heads might make their very busto’s laugh:
+  His daughter starves; but(7) Cleopatra’s safe.
+    Men, overloaded with a large estate,
+  May spill their treasure in a nice conceit:
+  The rich may be polite; but, oh! ’tis sad
+  To say you’re curious, when we swear you’re mad.
+  By your revenue measure your expense;
+  And to your funds and acres join your sense.
+  No man is bless’d by accident or guess;
+  True wisdom is the price of happiness:
+  Yet few without long discipline are sage;
+  And our youth only lays up sighs for age.
+  But how, my muse, canst thou resist so long
+  The bright temptation of the courtly throng,
+  Thy most inviting theme? The court affords
+  Much food for satire;—it abounds in lords.
+  "What lords are those saluting with a grin?"
+  One is just out, and one as lately in.
+  "How comes it then to pass we see preside
+  On both their brows an equal share of pride?"
+  Pride, that impartial passion, reigns through all,
+  Attends our glory, nor deserts our fall.
+  As in its home it triumphs in high place,
+  And frowns a haughty exile in disgrace.
+  Some lords it bids admire their wands so white,
+  Which bloom, like Aaron’s, to their ravish’d sight:
+  Some lords it bids resign; and turn their wands,
+  Like Moses’, into serpents in their hands.
+  These sink, as divers, for renown; and boast,
+  With pride inverted, of their honours lost.
+  But against reason sure ’tis equal sin,
+  To boast of merely being out, or in.
+    What numbers here, through odd ambition, strive
+  To seem the most transported things alive!
+  As if by joy, desert was understood;
+  And all the fortunate were wise and good.
+  Hence aching bosoms wear a visage gay,
+  And stifled groans frequent the ball and play.
+  Completely drest by(8) Monteuil, and grimace,
+  They take their birth-day suit, and public face:
+  Their smiles are only part of what they wear,
+  Put off at night, with Lady B——’s hair.
+  What bodily fatigue is half so bad?
+  With anxious care they labour to be glad.
+    What numbers, here, would into fame advance,
+  Conscious of merit, in the coxcomb’s dance;
+  The tavern! park! assembly! mask! and play!
+  Those dear destroyers of the tedious day!
+  That wheel of fops! that saunter of the town!
+  Call it diversion, and the pill goes down.
+  Fools grin on fools, and, stoic-like, support,
+  Without one sigh, the pleasures of a court.
+  Courts can give nothing, to the wise and good,
+  But scorn of pomp, and love of solitude.
+  High stations tumult, but not bliss, create:
+  None think the great unhappy, but the great:
+  Fools gaze, and envy; envy darts a sting,
+  Which makes a swain as wretched as a king.
+    I envy none their pageantry and show;
+  I envy none the gilding of their woe.
+  Give me, indulgent gods! with mind serene,
+  And guiltless heart, to range the sylvan scene;
+  No splendid poverty, no smiling care,
+  No well-bred hate, or servile grandeur, there:
+  There pleasing objects useful thought suggest;
+  The sense is ravish’d, and the soul is blest;
+  On every thorn delightful wisdom grows;
+  In every rill a sweet instruction flows.
+  But some, untaught, o’erhear the whisp’ring rill,
+  In spite of sacred leisure, blockheads still;
+  Nor shoots up folly to a nobler bloom
+  In her own native soil, the drawing-room.
+    The squire is proud to see his coursers strain,
+  Or well-breath’d beagles sweep along the plain.
+  Say, dear Hippolitus, (whose drink is ale,
+  Whose erudition is a Christmas tale,
+  Whose mistress is saluted with a smack,
+  And friend receiv’d with thumps upon the back,)
+  When thy sleek gelding nimbly leaps the mound,
+  And Ringwood opens on the tainted ground,
+  Is that thy praise? Let Ringwood’s fame alone;
+  Just Ringwood leaves each animal his own;
+  Nor envies, when a gipsy you commit,
+  And shake the clumsy bench with country wit;
+  When you the dullest of dull things have said,
+  And then ask pardon for the jest you made.
+    Here breathe, my muse! and then thy task renew:
+  Ten thousand fools unsung are still in view.
+  Fewer lay-atheists made by church debates;
+  Fewer great beggars fam’d for large estates;
+  Ladies, whose love is constant as the wind;
+  Cits, who prefer a guinea to mankind;
+  Fewer grave lords to Scrope discreetly bend;
+  And fewer shocks a statesman gives his friend.
+    Is there a man of an eternal vein,
+  Who lulls the town in winter with his strain,
+  At Bath, in summer, chants the reigning lass,
+  And sweetly whistles, as the waters pass?
+  Is there a tongue, like Delia’s o’er her cup,
+  That runs for ages without winding up?
+  Is there, whom his tenth epic mounts to fame?
+  Such, and such only, might exhaust my theme:
+  Nor would these heroes of the task be glad;
+  For who can write so fast as men run mad?
+
+
+
+
+                                Satire II
+
+
+  My muse, proceed, and reach thy destin’d end;
+  Though toils and danger the bold task attend.
+  Heroes and gods make other poems fine;
+  Plain satire calls for sense in every line:
+  Then, to what swarms thy faults I dare expose!
+  All friends to vice and folly are thy foes.
+  When such the foe, a war eternal wage;
+  ’Tis most ill-nature to repress thy rage:
+  And if these strains some nobler muse excite,
+  I’ll glory in the verse I did not write.
+    So weak are human kind by nature made,
+  Or to such weakness by their vice betray’d,
+  Almighty vanity! to thee they owe
+  Their zest of pleasure, and their balm of woe.
+  Thou, like the sun, all colours dost contain,
+  Varying, like rays of light, on drops of rain.
+  For every soul finds reasons to be proud,
+  Tho’ hiss’d and hooted by the pointing crowd.
+    Warm in pursuit of foxes, and renown,
+  (9)Hippolitus demands the sylvan crown;
+  But Florio’s fame, the product of a shower,
+  Grows in his garden, an illustrious flower!
+  Why teems the earth? Why melt the vernal skies?
+  Why shines the sun? To make(10) Paul Diack rise.
+  From morn to night has Florio gazing stood,
+  And wonder’d how the gods could be so good;
+  What shape! what hue! was ever nymph so fair!
+  He dotes! he dies! he too is rooted there.
+  O solid bliss! which nothing can destroy,
+  Except a cat, bird, snail, or idle boy.
+  In fame’s full bloom lies Florio down at night,
+  And wakes next day a most inglorious wight;
+  The tulip’s dead! See thy fair sister’s fate,
+  O C——! and be kind ere ’tis too late.
+    Nor are those enemies I mention’d, all;
+  Beware, O florist, thy ambition’s fall.
+  A friend of mine indulg’d this noble flame;
+  A quaker serv’d him, Adam was his name;
+  To one lov’d tulip oft the master went,
+  Hung o’er it, and whole days in rapture spent;
+  But came, and miss’d it, one ill-fated hour:
+  He rag’d! he roar’d! "What demon cropt my flower?"
+  Serene, quoth Adam, "Lo! ’twas crusht by me;
+  Fall’n is the Baal to which thou bow’dst thy knee."
+    But all men want amusement; and what crime
+  In such a paradise to fool their time?
+  None: but why proud of this? to fame they soar;
+  We grant they’re idle, if they’ll ask no more.
+    We smile at florists, we despise their joy,
+  And think their hearts enamour’d of a toy:
+  But are those wiser whom we most admire,
+  Survey with envy, and pursue with fire?
+  What’s he who sighs for wealth, or fame, or power?
+  Another Florio doting on a flower;
+  A short liv’d flower; and which has often sprung
+  From sordid arts, as Florio’s out of dung.
+  With what, O Codrus! is thy fancy smit?
+  The flower of learning, and the bloom of wit.
+  The gaudy shelves with crimson bindings glow,
+  And Epictetus is a perfect beau.
+  How fit for thee! bound up in crimson too,
+  Gilt, and, like them, devoted to the view!
+  Thy books are furniture. Methinks ’tis hard
+  That science should be purchas’d by the yard;
+  And Tonson, turn’d upholsterer, send home
+  The gilded leather to fit up thy room.
+    If not to some peculiar end design’d,
+  Study’s the specious trifling of the mind;
+  Or is at best a secondary aim,
+  A chase for sport alone, and not for game.
+  If so, sure they who the mere volume prize,
+  But love the thicket where the quarry lies.
+    On buying books Lorenzo long was bent,
+  But found at length that it reduc’d his rent;
+  His farms were flown; when, lo! a sale comes on,
+  A choice collection! what is to be done?
+  He sells his last; for he the whole will buy;
+  Sells ev’n his house; nay, wants whereon to lie:
+  So high the gen’rous ardour of the man
+  For Romans, Greeks, and Orientals ran.
+  When terms were drawn, and brought him by the clerk,
+  Lorenzo sign’d the bargain—with his mark.
+  Unlearned men of books assume the care,
+  As eunuchs are the guardians of the fair.
+    Not in his authors’ liveries alone
+  Is Codrus’ erudite ambition shown:
+  Editions various, at high prices bought,
+  Inform the world what Codrus would be thought;
+  And to his cost another must succeed
+  To pay a sage, who says that he can read;
+  Who titles knows, and indexes has seen;
+  But leaves to Chesterfield what lies between;
+  Of pompous books who shuns the proud expense,
+  And humbly is contented with their sense.
+    O Stanhope, whose accomplishments make good
+  The promise of a long illustrious blood,
+  In arts and manners eminently grac’d,
+  The strictest honour! and the finest taste!
+  Accept this verse; if satire can agree
+  With so consummate a humanity.
+    By your example would Hilario mend,
+  How would it grace the talents of my friend,
+  Who, with the charms of his own genius smit,
+  Conceives all virtues are compris’d in wit!
+  But time his fervent petulance may cool;
+  For though he is a wit, he is no fool.
+  In time he’ll learn to use, not waste, his sense;
+  Nor make a frailty of an excellence.
+  He spares nor friend, nor foe; but calls to mind,
+  Like doomsday, all the faults of all mankind.
+    What though wit tickles? tickling is unsafe,
+  If still ’tis painful while it makes us laugh.
+  Who, for the poor renown of being smart,
+  Would leave a sting within a brother’s heart?
+    Parts may be prais’d, good-nature is ador’d;
+  Then draw your wit as seldom as your sword;
+  And never on the weak; or you’ll appear
+  As there no hero, no great genius here.
+  As in smooth oil the razor best is whet,
+  So wit is by politeness sharpest set:
+  Their want of edge from their offence is seen;
+  Both pain us least when exquisitely keen.
+  The fame men give is for the joy they find;
+  Dull is the jester, when the joke’s unkind.
+    Since Marcus, doubtless, thinks himself a wit,
+  To pay my compliment, what place so fit?
+  His most facetious(11)letters came to hand,
+  Which my first satire sweetly reprimand:
+  If that a just offence to Marcus gave,
+  Say, Marcus, which art thou, a fool, or knave?
+  For all but such with caution I forbore;
+  That thou wast either, I ne’er knew before:
+  I know thee now, both what thou art, and who;
+  No mask so good, but Marcus must shine through:
+  False names are vain, thy lines their author tell;
+  Thy best concealment had been writing well:
+  But thou a brave neglect of fame hast shown,
+  Of others’ fame, great genius! and thy own.
+  Write on unheeded; and this maxim know,
+  The man who pardons, disappoints his foe.
+    In malice to proud wits, some proudly lull
+  Their peevish reason; vain of being dull;
+  When some home joke has stung their solemn souls,
+  In vengeance they determine to be fools;
+  Through spleen, that little nature gave, make less,
+  Quite zealous in the way of heaviness;
+  To lumps inanimate a fondness take;
+  And disinherit sons that are awake.
+  These, when their utmost venom they would spit,
+  Most barbarously tell you—"He’s a wit."
+  Poor negroes, thus, to show their burning spite
+  To cacodemons, say, they’re dev’lish white.
+    Lampridius, from the bottom of his breast,
+  Sighs o’er one child; but triumphs in the rest.
+  How just his grief! one carries in his head
+  A less proportion of the father’s lead;
+  And is in danger, without special grace,
+  To rise above a justice of the peace.
+  The dunghill breed of men a diamond scorn,
+  And feel a passion for a grain of corn;
+  Some stupid, plodding, monkey-loving wight,
+  Who wins their hearts by knowing black from white,
+  Who with much pains, exerting all his sense,
+  Can range aright his shillings, pounds, and pence.
+    The booby father craves a booby son;
+  And by heaven’s blessing thinks himself undone.
+    Wants of all kinds are made to fame a plea;
+  One learns to lisp; another not to see:
+  Miss D——, tottering, catches at your hand:
+  Was ever thing so pretty born to stand?
+  Whilst these, what nature gave, disown, through pride,
+  Others affect what nature has denied;
+  What nature has denied, fools will pursue,
+  As apes are ever walking upon two.
+    Crassus, a grateful sage, our awe and sport!
+  Supports grave forms; for forms the sage support.
+  He hems; and cries, with an important air,
+  "If yonder clouds withdraw it will be fair:"
+  Then quotes the Stagyrite, to prove it true;
+  And adds, "The learn’d delight in something new."
+  Is’t not enough the blockhead scarce can read,
+  But must he wisely look, and gravely plead?
+  As far a formalist from wisdom sits,
+  In judging eyes, as libertines from wits.
+    These subtle wights (so blind are mortal men,
+  Though satire couch them with her keenest pen)
+  For ever will hang out a solemn face,
+  To put off nonsense with a better grace:
+  As pedlers with some hero’s head make bold,
+  Illustrious mark! where pins are to be sold.
+  What’s the bent brow, or neck in thought reclin’d?
+  The body’s wisdom to conceal the mind.
+  A man of sense can artifice disdain;
+  As men of wealth may venture to go plain;
+  And be this truth eternal ne’er forgot,
+  Solemnity’s a cover for a sot.
+  I find the fool, when I behold the screen;
+  For ’tis the wise man’s interest to be seen.
+    Hence, Chesterfield, that openness of heart,
+  And just disdain for that poor mimic art;
+  Hence (manly praise!) that manner nobly free,
+  Which all admire, and I commend, in thee.
+  With generous scorn how oft hast thou survey’d
+  Of court and town the noontide masquerade;
+  Where swarms of knaves the vizor quite disgrace,
+  And hide secure behind a naked face?
+  Where nature’s end of language is declin’d,
+  And men talk only to conceal the mind;
+  Where gen’rous hearts the greatest hazard run,
+  And he who trusts a brother, is undone?
+    These all their care expend on outward show
+  For wealth and fame; for fame alone, the beau.
+  Of late at White’s was young Florello seen!
+  How blank his look! how discompos’d his mien!
+  So hard it proves in grief sincere to feign!
+  Sunk were his spirits; for his coat was plain.
+    Next day his breast regain’d its wonted peace;
+  His health was mended with a silver lace.
+  A curious artist, long inur’d to toils
+  Of gentler sort, with combs, and fragrant oils,
+  Whether by chance, or by some god inspir’d,
+  So touch’d his curls, his mighty soul was fir’d.
+  The well swoln ties an equal homage claim,
+  And either shoulder has its share of fame;
+  His sumptuous watch-case, tho’ conceal’d it lies,
+  Like a good conscience, solid joy supplies.
+  He only thinks himself (so far from vain!)
+  Stanhope in wit, in breeding Deloraine.
+  Whene’er, by seeming chance, he throws his eye
+  On mirrors that reflect his Tyrian dye,
+  With how sublime a transport leaps his heart!
+  But fate ordains that dearest friends must part.
+  In active measures, brought from France, he wheels,
+  And triumphs, conscious of his learned heels.
+    So have I seen, on some bright summer’s day,
+  A calf of genius, debonnair and gay,
+  Dance on the bank, as if inspir’d by fame,
+  Fond of the pretty fellow in the stream.
+    Morose is sunk with shame, whene’er surpris’d
+  In linen clean, or peruke undisguis’d.
+  No sublunary chance his vestments fear;
+  Valu’d, like leopards, as their spots appear.
+  A fam’d surtout he wears, which once was blue,
+  And his foot swims in a capacious shoe;
+  One day his wife (for who can wives reclaim?)
+  Levell’d her barb’rous needle at his fame:
+  But open force was vain; by night she went,
+  And while he slept, surpris’d the darling rent:
+  Where yawn’d the frieze is now become a doubt;
+  And glory, at one entrance, quite shut out.(12)
+    He scorns Florello, and Florello him;
+  This hates the filthy creature; that, the prim:
+  Thus, in each other, both these fools despise
+  Their own dear selves, with undiscerning eyes;
+  Their methods various, but alike their aim;
+  The sloven and the fopling are the same.
+    Ye whigs and tories! thus it fares with you,
+  When party rage too warmly you pursue;
+  Then both club nonsense, and impetuous pride,
+  And folly joins whom sentiments divide.
+  You vent your spleen, as monkeys, when they pass,
+  Scratch at the mimic monkey in the glass;
+  While both are one: and henceforth be it known,
+  Fools of both sides shall stand for fools alone.
+    "But who art thou?" methinks Florello cries;
+  "Of all thy species art thou only wise?"
+  Since smallest things can give our sins a twitch,
+  As crossing straws retard a passing witch,
+  Florello, thou my monitor shalt be;
+  I’ll conjure thus some profit out of thee.
+  O thou myself! abroad our counsels roam,
+  And, like ill husbands, take no care at home:
+  Thou too art wounded with the common dart,
+  And love of fame lies throbbing at thy heart;
+  And what wise means to gain it hast thou chose?
+  Know, fame and fortune both are made of prose.
+  Is thy ambition sweating for a rhyme,
+  Thou unambitious fool, at this late time?
+  While I a moment name, a moment’s past;
+  I’m nearer death in this verse, than the last:
+  What then is to be done? Be wise with speed;
+  A fool at forty is a fool indeed.
+    And what so foolish as the chance of fame?
+  How vain the prize! how impotent our aim!
+  For what are men who grasp at praise sublime,
+  But bubbles on the rapid stream of time,
+  That rise, and fall, that swell, and are no more,
+  Born, and forgot, ten thousand in an hour?
+

+                               Satire III.
+
+
+                  To the Right Honorable Mr. Dodington.
+
+
+  Long, Dodington, in debt, I long have sought
+  To ease the burthen of my grateful thought;
+  And now a poet’s gratitude you see;
+  Grant him two favours, and he’ll ask for three:
+  For whose the present glory, or the gain?
+  You give protection, I a worthless strain.
+  You love and feel the poet’s sacred flame;
+  And know the basis of a solid fame;
+  Tho’ prone to like, yet cautious to commend,
+  You read with all the malice of a friend;
+  Nor favour my attempts that way alone,
+  But, more to raise my verse, conceal your own.
+    An ill-tim’d modesty! turn ages o’er,
+  When wanted Britain bright examples more?
+  Her learning, and her genius too, decays,
+  And dark and cold are her declining days;
+  As if men now were of another cast,
+  They meanly live on alms of ages past.
+  Men still are men; and they who boldly dare,
+  Shall triumph o’er the sons of cold despair;
+  Or, if they fail, they justly still take place
+  Of such who run in debt for their disgrace;
+  Who borrow much, then fairly make it known,
+  And damn it with improvements of their own.
+  We bring some new materials, and what’s old
+  New cast with care, and in no borrow’d mould;
+  Late times the verse may read, if these refuse;
+  And from sour critics vindicate the muse.
+    "Your work is long," the critics cry. "Tis true,
+  And lengthens still, to take in fools like you:
+  Shorten my labour, if its length you blame;
+  For, grow but wise, you rob me of my game;
+  As hunted hags, who, while the dogs pursue,
+  Renounce their four legs, and start up on two.
+    Like the bold bird upon the banks of Nile,
+  That picks the teeth of the dire crocodile,
+  Will I enjoy, (dread feast!) the critic’s rage,
+  And with the fell destroyer feed my page.
+  For what ambitious fools are more to blame,
+  Than those who thunder in the critic’s name?
+  Good authors damn’d, have their revenge in this,
+  To see what wretches gain the praise they miss.
+    Balbutius, muffled in his sable cloak,
+  Like an old Druid from his hollow oak,
+  As ravens solemn, and as boding, cries,
+  "Ten thousand worlds for the three unities!"
+  Ye doctors sage, who thro’ Parnassus teach,
+  Or quit the tub, or practise what you preach.
+    One judges as the weather dictates; right
+  The poem is at noon, and wrong at night:
+  Another judges by a surer gage,
+  An author’s principles, or parentage;
+  Since his great ancestors in Flanders fell,
+  The poem doubtless must be written well.
+  Another judges by the writer’s look;
+  Another judges, for he bought the book;
+  Some judge, their knack of judging wrong to keep;
+  Some judge, because it is too soon to sleep.
+    Thus all will judge, and with one single aim,
+  To gain themselves, not give the writer, fame.
+  The very best ambitiously advise,
+  Half to serve you, and half to pass for wise.
+    Critics on verse, as squibs on triumphs wait,
+  Proclaim the glory, and augment the state;
+  Hot, envious, noisy, proud, the scribbling fry
+  Burn, hiss, and bounce, waste paper, stink, and die.
+  Rail on, my friends! what more my verse can crown
+  Than Compton’s smile, and your obliging frown?
+    Not all on books their criticism waste:
+  The genius of a dish some justly taste,
+  And eat their way to fame; with anxious thought
+  The salmon is refus’d, the turbot bought.
+  Impatient art rebukes the sun’s delay,
+  And bids December yield the fruits of May;
+  Their various cares in one great point combine
+  The business of their lives, that is—to dine.
+  Half of their precious day they give the feast;
+  And to a kind digestion spare the rest.
+  Apicius, here, the taster of the town,
+  Feeds twice a week, to settle their renown.
+    These worthies of the palate guard with care
+  The sacred annals of their bills of fare;
+  In those choice books their panegyrics read,
+  And scorn the creatures that for hunger feed.
+  If man by feeding well commences great,
+  Much more the worm to whom that man is meat.
+  To glory some advance a lying claim,
+  Thieves of renown, and pilferers of fame:
+  Their front supplies what their ambition lacks;
+  They know a thousand lords, behind their backs.
+  Cottil is apt to wink upon a peer,
+  When turn’d away, with a familiar leer;
+  And Harvey’s eyes, unmercifully keen,
+  Have murder’d fops, by whom she ne’er was seen.
+  Niger adopts stray libels; wisely prone
+  To covet shame still greater than his own.
+  Bathyllus, in the winter of threescore,
+  Belies his innocence, and keeps a whore.
+  Absence of mind Brabantio turns to fame,
+  Learns to mistake, nor knows his brother’s name;
+  Has words and thoughts in nice disorder set,
+  And takes a memorandum to forget.
+  Thus vain, not knowing what adorns, or blots,
+  Men forge the patents, that create them sots.
+    As love of pleasure into pain betrays,
+  So most grow infamous thro’ love of praise.
+  But whence for praise can such an ardour rise,
+  When those, who bring that incense, we despise?
+  For such the vanity of great and small,
+  Contempt goes round, and all men laugh at all.
+    Nor can ev’n satire blame them; for, ’tis true,
+  They have most ample cause for what they do.
+  O fruitful Britain! doubtless thou wast meant
+  A nurse of fools, to stock the continent.
+  Tho’ Phœbus and the Nine for ever mow,
+  Rank folly underneath the scythe will grow.
+  The plenteous harvest calls me forward still,
+  Till I surpass in length my lawyer’s bill;
+  A Welsh descent, which well paid heralds damn;
+  Or, longer still, a Dutchman’s epigram.
+  When, cloy’d, in fury I throw down my pen,
+  In comes a coxcomb, and I write again.
+    See Tityrus, with merriment possest,
+  Is burst with laughter, ere he hears the jest:
+  What need he stay? for when the joke is o’er,
+  His teeth will be no whiter than before.
+  Is there of these, ye fair! so great a dearth,
+  That you need purchase monkeys for your mirth?
+    Some, vain of paintings, bid the world admire;
+  Of houses some; nay, houses that they hire:
+  Some (perfect wisdom!) of a beauteous wife;
+  And boast, like Cordeliers, a scourge for life.
+    Sometimes, thro’ pride, the sexes change their airs;
+  My lord has vapours, and my lady swears;
+  Then, stranger still! on turning of the wind,
+  My lord wears breeches, and my lady’s kind.
+    To show the strength, and infamy of pride,
+  By all ’tis follow’d, and by all denied.
+  What numbers are there, which at once pursue
+  Praise, and the glory to contemn it, too!
+  Vincenna knows self-praise betrays to shame,
+  And therefore lays a stratagem for fame;
+  Makes his approach in modesty’s disguise,
+  To win applause; and takes it by surprise.
+  "To err," says he, "in small things, is my fate."
+  You know your answer, he’s exact in great.
+  "My style," says he, "is rude and full of faults."
+  But oh! what sense! what energy of thoughts!
+  That he wants algebra, he must confess;
+  But not a soul to give our arms success.
+  "Ah; that’s a hit indeed," Vincenna cries;
+  "But who in heat of blood was ever wise?
+  I own ’twas wrong, when thousands call’d me back,
+  To make that hopeless, ill-advis’d attack;
+  All say, ’twas madness; nor dare I deny;
+  Sure never fool so well deserv’d to die."
+  Could this deceive in others, to be free,
+  It ne’er, Vincenna, could deceive in thee;
+  Whose conduct is a comment to thy tongue,
+  So clear, the dullest cannot take thee wrong.
+  Thou on one sleeve wilt thy revenues wear;
+  And haunt the court, without a prospect there.
+  Are these expedients for renown? Confess
+  Thy little self, that I may scorn thee less.
+    Be wise, Vincenna, and the court forsake;
+  Our fortunes there, nor thou, nor I, shall make.
+  Ev’n men of merit, ere their point they gain,
+  In hardy service make a long campaign;
+  Most manfully besiege their patron’s gate,
+  And oft repuls’d, as oft attack the great
+  With painful art, and application warm,
+  And take, at last, some little place by storm;
+  Enough to keep two shoes on Sunday clean,
+  And starve upon discreetly, in Sheer Lane.
+  Already this thy fortune can afford;
+  Then starve without the favour of my lord.
+  ’Tis true, great fortunes some great men confer;
+  But often, ev’n in doing right, they err:
+  From caprice, not from choice, their favours come;
+  They give, but think it toil to know to whom:
+  The man that’s nearest, yawning, they advance:
+  ’Tis inhumanity to bless by chance.
+  If merit sues, and greatness is so loth
+  To break its downy trance, I pity both.
+    I grant at court, Philander, at his need,
+  (Thanks to his lovely wife) finds friends indeed.
+  Of every charm and virtue she’s possest:
+  Philander! thou art exquisitely blest;
+  The public envy! Now then, ’tis allow’d,
+  The man is found, who may be justly proud:
+  But, see! how sickly is ambition’s taste!
+  Ambition feeds on trash, and loaths a feast;
+  For, lo! Philander, of reproach afraid,
+  In secret loves his wife, but keeps her maid.
+    Some nymphs sell reputation; others buy;
+  And love a market where the rates run high:
+  Italian music’s sweet, because ’tis dear;
+  Their vanity is tickled, not their ear:
+  Their taste would lessen, if the prices fell,
+  And Shakespeare’s wretched stuff do quite as well;
+  Away the disenchanted fair would throng,
+  And own that English is their mother tongue.
+    To show how much our northern tastes refine,
+  Imported nymphs our peeresses outshine;
+  While tradesmen starve, these Philomels are gay;
+  For generous lords had rather give than pay.
+    Behold the masquerade’s fantastic scene!
+  The legislature join’d with Drury Lane!
+  When Britain calls, th’ embroider’d patriots run,
+  And serve their country—if the dance is done.
+  "Are we not then allow’d to be polite?"
+  Yes, doubtless; but first set your notions right.
+  Worth, of politeness, is the needful ground;
+  Where that is wanting, this can ne’er be found.
+  Triflers not e’en in trifles can excel;
+  ’Tis solid bodies only polish well.
+    Great, chosen prophet! For these latter days,
+  To turn a willing world from righteous ways!
+  Well, Heydegger, dost thou thy master serve;
+  Well has he seen his servant should not starve.
+  Thou to his name hast splendid temples rais’d;
+  In various forms of worship seen him prais’d,
+  Gaudy devotion, like a Roman, shown,
+  And sung sweet anthems in a tongue unknown.
+  Inferior off’rings to thy god of vice
+  Are duly paid, in fiddles, cards, and dice;
+  Thy sacrifice supreme, a hundred maids!
+  That solemn rite of midnight masquerades!
+  If maids the quite exhausted town denies,
+  A hundred heads of cuckolds may suffice.
+  Thou smil’st, well pleas’d with the converted land,
+  To see the fifty churches at a stand.
+  And that thy minister may never fail,
+  But what thy hand has planted still prevail,
+  Of minor prophets a succession sure
+  The propagation of thy zeal secure.
+    See commons, peers, and ministers of state,
+  In solemn council met, and deep debate!
+  What godlike enterprise is taking birth?
+  What wonder opens on th’ expecting earth?
+  ’Tis done! with loud applause the council rings!
+  Fix’d is the fate of whores and fiddle-strings!
+    Tho’ bold these truths, thou, muse, with truths like these,
+  Wilt none offend, whom ’tis a praise to please:
+  Let others flatter to be flatter’d, thou,
+  Like just tribunals, bend an awful brow.
+  How terrible it were to common sense,
+  To write a satire, which gave none offence!
+  And, since from life I take the draughts you see,
+  If men dislike them, do they censure me?
+  The fool, and knave, ’tis glorious to offend,
+  And godlike an attempt the world to mend;
+  The world, where lucky throws to blockheads fall,
+  Knaves know the game, and honest men pay all.
+    How hard for real worth to gain its price!
+  A man shall make his fortune in a trice,
+  If blest with pliant, tho’ but slender, sense,
+  Feign’d modesty, and real impudence:
+  A supple knee, smooth tongue, an easy grace,
+  A curse within, a smile upon his face;
+  A beauteous sister, or convenient wife,
+  Are prizes in the lottery of life;
+  Genius and virtue they will soon defeat,
+  And lodge you in the bosom of the great.
+  To merit, is but to provide a pain
+  For men’s refusing what you ought to gain.
+    May, Dodington, this maxim fail in you,
+  Whom my presaging thoughts already view
+  By Walpole’s conduct fir’d, and friendship grac’d,
+  Still higher in your prince’s favour plac’d;
+  And lending, here, those awful councils aid,
+  Which you, abroad, with such success obey’d:
+  Bear this from one, who holds your friendship dear;
+  What most we wish, with ease we fancy near.
+

+
+                                Satire IV.
+
+
+               To the Right Honourable Sir Spencer Compton.
+
+
+  Round some fair tree th’ ambitious woodbine grows,
+  And breathes her sweets on the supporting boughs;
+  So sweet the verse, th’ ambitious verse, should be,
+  (O! pardon mine) that hopes support from thee;
+  Thee, Compton, born o’er senates to preside,
+  Their dignity to raise, their councils guide;
+  Deep to discern, and widely to survey,
+  And kingdoms’ fates, without ambition, weigh;
+  Of distant virtues nice extremes to blend,
+  The crown’s asserter, and the people’s friend:
+  Nor dost thou scorn, amid sublimer views,
+  To listen to the labours of the muse;
+  Thy smiles protect her, while thy talents fire,
+  And ’tis but half thy glory to inspire.
+  Vex’d at a public fame, so justly won,
+  The jealous Chremes is with spleen undone;
+  Chremes, for airy pensions of renown,
+  Devotes his service to the state and crown;
+  All schemes he knows, and, knowing, all improves,
+  Tho’ Britain’s thankless, still this patriot loves:
+  But patriots differ; some may shed their blood,
+  He drinks his coffee, for the public good;
+  Consults the sacred steam, and there foresees
+  What storms, or sunshine, Providence decrees;
+  Knows, for each day, the weather of our fate;
+  A quid nunc is an almanack of state.
+    You smile, and think this statesman void of use:
+  Why may not time his secret worth produce?
+  Since apes can roast the choice Castanian nut,
+  Since steeds of genius are expert at put;
+  Since half the senate not content can say,
+  Geese nations save, and puppies plots betray.
+    What makes him model realms, and counsel kings?
+  An incapacity for smaller things:
+  Poor Chremes can’t conduct his own estate,
+  And thence has undertaken Europe’s fate.
+    Gehenno leaves the realm to Chremes’ skill,
+  And boldly claims a province higher still:
+  To raise a name, th’ ambitious boy has got,
+  At once, a Bible, and a shoulder-knot;
+  Deep in the secret, he looks thro’ the whole,
+  And pities the dull rogue that saves his soul;
+  To talk with rev’rence you must take good heed,
+  Nor shock his tender reason with the creed:
+  Howe’er well bred, in public he complies,
+  Obliging friends alone with blasphemies.
+    Peerage is poison, good estates are bad
+  For this disease; poor rogues run seldom mad.
+  Have not attainders brought unhop’d relief,
+  And falling stocks quite cur’d an unbelief?
+  While the sun shines, Blunt talks with wondrous force;
+  But thunder mars small beer, and weak discourse.
+  Such useful instruments the weather show,
+  Just as their mercury is high or low:
+  Health chiefly keeps an atheist in the dark;
+  A fever argues better than a Clarke:
+  Let but the logic in his pulse decay,
+  The Grecian he’ll renounce, and learn to pray,
+  While C—— mourns, with an unfeign’d zeal,
+  Th’ apostate youth, who reason’d once so well.
+    C——, who makes so merry with the creed;
+  He almost thinks he disbelieves indeed;
+  But only thinks so; to give both their due,
+  Satan, and he, believe, and tremble too.
+  Of some for glory such the boundless rage,
+  That they’re the blackest scandal of their age.
+    Narcissus the Tartarian club disclaims;
+  Nay, a free-mason, with some terror, names;
+  Omits no duty; nor can envy say,
+  He miss’d, these many years, the church, or play:
+  He makes no noise in parliament, ’tis true;
+  But pays his debts, and visit, when ’tis due;
+  His character and gloves are ever clean,
+  And then, he can out-bow the bowing dean;
+  A smile eternal on his lip he wears,
+  Which equally the wise and worthless shares.
+  In gay fatigues, this most undaunted chief,
+  Patient of idleness beyond belief,
+  Most charitably lends the town his face,
+  For ornament, in ev’ry public place;
+  As sure as cards, he to th’ assembly comes,
+  And is the furniture of drawing-rooms:
+  When ombre calls, his hand and heart are free,
+  And, join’d to two, he fails not—to make three:
+  Narcissus is the glory of his race;
+  For who does nothing with a better grace?
+    To deck my list, by nature were design’d
+  Such shining expletives of human kind,
+  Who want, while thro’ blank life they dream along,
+  Sense to be right, and passion to be wrong.
+    To counterpoise this hero of the mode,
+  Some for renown are singular and odd;
+  What other men dislike, is sure to please,
+  Of all mankind, these dear antipodes;
+  Thro’ pride, not malice, they run counter still,
+  And birthdays are their days of dressing ill,
+  Arbuthnot is a fool, and F—— a sage,
+  S—ly will fright you, E—— engage;
+  By nature streams run backward, flame descends,
+  Stones mount, and Sussex is the worst of friends;
+  They take their rest by day, and wake by night,
+  And blush, if you surprise them in the right;
+  If they by chance blurt out, ere well aware,
+  A swan is white, or Queensberry is fair.
+    Nothing exceeds in ridicule, no doubt,
+  A fool in fashion, but a fool that’s out,
+  His passion for absurdity’s so strong,
+  He cannot bear a rival in the wrong;
+  Tho’ wrong the mode, comply; more sense is shown
+  In wearing others’ follies, than your own.
+  If what is out of fashion most you prize,
+  Methinks you should endeavour to be wise.
+  But what in oddness can be more sublime
+  Than Sloane, the foremost toyman of his time?
+  His nice ambition lies in curious fancies,
+  His daughter’s portion a rich shell inhances,
+  And Ashmole’s baby-house is, in his view,
+  Britannia’s golden mine, a rich Peru!
+  How his eyes languish! how his thoughts adore
+  That painted coat, which Joseph never wore!
+  He shows, on holidays, a sacred pin,
+  That touch’d the ruff, that touch’d Queen Bess’s chin.
+    "Since that great dearth our chronicles deplore,
+  Since that great plague that swept as many more,
+  Was ever year unblest as this?" he’ll cry,
+  "It has not brought us one new butterfly!"
+  In times that suffer such learn’d men as these,
+  Unhappy I——y! how came you to please?
+    Not gaudy butterflies are Lico’s game;
+  But, in effect, his chase is much the same;
+  Warm in pursuit, he levees all the great,
+  Stanch to the foot of title and estate:
+  Where’er their lordships go, they never find
+  Or Lico, or their shadows, lag behind!
+  He sets them sure, where’er their lordships run,
+  Close at their elbows, as a morning dun;
+  As if their grandeur, by contagion, wrought,
+  And fame was, like a fever, to be caught:
+  But after seven years’ dance, from place to place,
+  The(13) Dane is more familiar with his grace.
+    Who’d be a crutch to prop a rotten peer;
+  Or living pendant dangling at his ear,
+  For ever whisp’ring secrets, which were blown
+  For months before, by trumpets, thro’ the town?
+  Who’d be a glass, with flattering grimace,
+  Still to reflect the temper of his face;
+  Or happy pin to stick upon his sleeve,
+  When my lord’s gracious, and vouchsafes it leave;
+  Or cushion, when his heaviness shall please
+  To loll, or thump it, for his better ease;
+  Or a vile butt, for noon, or night, bespoke,
+  When the peer rashly swears he’ll club his joke?
+  Who’d shake with laughter, tho’ he could not find
+  His lordship’s jest; or, if his nose broke wind,
+  For blessings to the gods profoundly bow,
+  That can cry, chimney sweep, or drive a plough?
+  With terms like these, how mean the tribe that close!
+  Scarce meaner they, who terms like these, impose.
+  But what’s the tribe most likely to comply?
+  The men of ink, or ancient authors lie;
+  The writing tribe, who shameless auctions hold
+  Of praise, by inch of candle to be sold:
+  All men they flatter, but themselves the most,
+  With deathless fame, their everlasting boast:
+  For fame no cully makes so much her jest,
+  As her old constant spark, the bard profest.
+  "Boyle shines in council, Mordaunt in the fight,
+  Pelham’s magnificent; but I can write,
+  And what to my great soul like glory dear?"
+  Till some god whispers in his tingling ear,
+  That fame’s unwholesome taken without meat.
+  And life is best sustain’d by what is eat:
+  Grown lean, and wise, he curses what he writ,
+  And wishes all his wants were in his wit.
+    Ay! what avails it, when his dinner’s lost,
+  That his triumphant name adorns a post?
+  Or that his shining page (provoking fate!)
+  Defends sirloins, which sons of dulness eat?
+    What foe to verse without compassion hears,
+  What cruel prose-man can refrain from tears,
+  When the poor muse, for less than half a crown,
+  A prostitute on every bulk in town,
+  With other whores undone, tho’ not in print,
+  Clubs credit for Geneva in the mint?
+  Ye bards! why will you sing, tho’ uninspir’d?
+  Ye bards! why will you starve, to be admir’d?
+  Defunct by Phœbus’ laws, beyond redress,
+  Why will your spectres haunt the frighted press?
+  Bad metre, that excrescence of the head,
+  Like hair, will sprout, altho’ the poet’s dead.
+    All other trades demand, verse makers beg;
+  A dedication is a wooden leg;
+  A barren Labeo, the true mumper’s fashion,
+  Exposes borrow’d brats to move compassion.
+  Tho’ such myself, vile bards I discommend;
+  Nay more, tho’ gentle Damon is my friend.
+  "Is ’t then a crime to write?"—If talent rare
+  Proclaim the god, the crime is to forbear:
+  For some, tho’ few, there are large-minded men,
+  Who watch unseen the labours of the pen;
+  Who know the muse’s worth, and therefore court,
+  Their deeds her theme, their beauty her support;
+  Who serve, unask’d, the least pretence to wit;
+  My sole excuse, alas! for having writ.
+  Argyll true wit is studious to restore;
+  And Dorset smiles, if Phœbus smil’d before;
+  Pembroke in years the long-lov’d arts admires,
+  And Henrietta like a muse inspires.
+    But, ah! not inspiration can obtain
+  That fame, which poets languish for in vain.
+  How mad their aim, who thirst for glory, strive
+  To grasp, what no man can possess alive!
+  Fame’s a reversion in which men take place
+  (O late reversion!) at their own decease.
+  This truth sagacious Lintot knows so well,
+  He starves his authors, that their works may sell.
+    That fame is wealth, fantastic poets cry;
+  That wealth is fame, another clan reply;
+  Who know no guilt, no scandal, but in rags;
+  And swell in just proportion to their bags.
+  Nor only the low-born, deform’d and old,
+  Think glory nothing but the beams of gold;
+  The first young lord, which in the mall you meet,
+  Shall match the veriest huncks in Lombard-street,
+  From rescu’d candles’ ends, who rais’d a sum,
+  And starves to join a penny to a plumb.
+  A beardless miser! ’tis a guilt unknown
+  To former times, a scandal all our own.
+    Of ardent lovers, the true modern band
+  Will mortgage Celia to redeem their land.
+  For love, young, noble, rich, Castalio dies:
+  Name but the fair, love swells into his eyes.
+  Divine Monimia, thy fond fears lay down;
+  No rival can prevail,—but half a crown.
+    He glories to late times to be convey’d,
+  Not for the poor he has reliev’d, but made:
+  Not such ambition his great fathers fir’d,
+  When Harry conquer’d, and half France expir’d:
+  He’d be a slave, a pimp, a dog, for gain:
+  Nay, a dull sheriff, for his golden chain.
+    "Who’d be a slave?" the gallant colonel cries,
+  While love of glory sparkles from his eyes:
+  To deathless fame he loudly pleads his right,—
+  Just is his title,—for he will not fight:
+  All soldiers valour, all divines have grace,
+  As maids of honour beauty,—by their place:
+  But, when indulging on the last campaign,
+  His lofty terms climb o’er the hills of slain;
+  He gives the foes he slew, at each vain word,
+  A sweet revenge, and half absolves his sword.
+    Of boasting more than of a bomb afraid,
+  A soldier should be modest as a maid:
+  Fame is a bubble the reserv’d enjoy;
+  Who strive to grasp it, as they touch, destroy:
+  ’Tis the world’s debt to deeds of high degree;
+  But if you pay yourself, the world is free.
+    Were there no tongue to speak them but his own,
+  Augustus’ deeds in arms had ne’er been known.
+  Augustus’ deeds! if that ambiguous name
+  Confounds my reader, and misguides his aim,
+  Such is the prince’s worth, of whom I speak,
+  The Roman would not blush at the mistake.

+                                Satire V.
+
+
+                                On Women.
+
+
+      O fairest of creation! last and best
+      Of all God’s works! Creature in whom excell’d
+      Whatever can to sight, or thought, be form’d!
+      Holy, divine, good, amiable, or sweet!
+      How art thou lost!—-—-
+
+                                                               MILTON.
+
+
+  Nor reigns ambition in bold man alone;
+  Soft female hearts the rude invader own:
+  But there, indeed, it deals in nicer things,
+  Than routing armies, and dethroning kings:
+  Attend, and you discern it in the fair
+  Conduct a finger, or reclaim a hair;
+  Or roll the lucid orbit of an eye;
+  Or, in full joy, elaborate a sigh.
+    The sex we honour, tho’ their faults we blame;
+  Nay, thank their faults for such a fruitful theme:
+  A theme, fair ——! doubly kind to me,
+  Since satirizing those is praising thee;
+  Who wouldst not bear, too modestly refin’d,
+  A panegyric of a grosser kind.
+    Britannia’s daughters, much more fair than nice,
+  Too fond of admiration, lose their price;
+  Worn in the public eye, give cheap delight
+  To throngs, and tarnish to the sated sight:
+  As unreserv’d, and beauteous, as the sun,
+  Through every sign of vanity they run;
+  Assemblies, parks, coarse feasts in city-halls,
+  Lectures, and trials, plays, committees, balls,
+  Wells, bedlams, executions, Smithfield scenes,
+  And fortune-tellers’ caves, and lions’ dens,
+  Taverns, exchanges, bridewells, drawing-rooms,
+  Installments, pillories, coronations, tombs,
+  Tumblers, and funerals, puppet-shows, reviews,
+  Sales, races, rabbits, (and still stranger!) pews.
+    Clarinda’s bosom burns, but burns for fame;
+  And love lies vanquished in a nobler flame;
+  Warm gleams of hope she, now, dispenses; then,
+  Like April suns, dives into clouds again:
+  With all her lustre, now, her lover warms;
+  Then, out of ostentation, hides her charms:
+  ’Tis, next, her pleasure sweetly to complain,
+  And to be taken with a sudden pain;
+  Then, she starts up, all ecstasy and bliss,
+  And is, sweet soul! just as sincere in this:
+  O how she rolls her charming eyes in spite!
+  And looks delightfully with all her might!
+  But, like our heroes, much more brave than wise,
+  She conquers for the triumph, not the prize.
+    Zara resembles Ætna crown’d with snows;
+  Without she freezes, and within she glows:
+  Twice ere the sun descends, with zeal inspir’d,
+  From the vain converse of the world retir’d,
+  She reads the psalms and chapters for the day,
+  In —— Cleopatra, or the last new play.
+  Thus gloomy Zara, with a solemn grace,
+  Deceives mankind, and hides behind her face.
+    Nor far beneath her in renown, is she,
+  Who, through good breeding, is ill company;
+  Whose manners will not let her larum cease,
+  Who thinks you are unhappy, when at peace;
+  To find you news, who racks her subtle head,
+  And vows—that her great-grandfather is dead.
+    A dearth of words a woman need not fear,
+  But ’tis a task indeed to learn—to hear:
+  In that the skill of conversation lies;
+  That shows, or makes, you both polite and wise.
+    Xantippe cries, "Let nymphs, who nought can say,
+  Be lost in silence, and resign the day;
+  And let the guilty wife her guilt confess,
+  By tame behaviour, and a soft address;"
+  Through virtue, she refuses to comply
+  With all the dictates of humanity;
+  Through wisdom, she refuses to submit
+  To wisdom’s rules, and raves to prove her wit;
+  Then, her unblemish’d honour to maintain,
+  Rejects her husband’s kindness with disdain:
+  But if, by chance, an ill-adapted word
+  Drops from the lip of her unwary lord,
+  Her darling china, in a whirlwind sent,
+  Just intimates the lady’s discontent.
+    Wine may indeed excite the meekest dame;
+  But keen Xantippe, scorning borrow’d flame,
+  Can vent her thunders, and her lightnings play,
+  O’er cooling gruel, and composing tea:
+  Nor rests by night, but, more sincere than nice,
+  She shakes the curtains with her kind advice:
+  Doubly, like echo, sound is her delight,
+  And the last word is her eternal right.
+  Is’t not enough, plagues, wars, and famines rise
+  To lash our crimes, but must our wives be wise?
+    Famine, plague, war, and an unnumber’d throng
+  Of guilt-avenging ills, to man belong:
+  What black, what ceaseless cares besiege our state!
+  What strokes we feel from fancy, and from fate!
+  If fate forbears us, fancy strikes the blow;
+  We make misfortune; suicides in woe.
+  Superfluous aid! unnecessary skill!
+  Is nature backward to torment, or kill?
+  How oft the noon, how oft the midnight, bell,
+  (That iron tongue of death!) with solemn knell,
+  On folly’s errands as we vainly roam,
+  Knocks at our hearts, and finds our thoughts from home!
+  Men drop so fast, ere life’s mid stage we tread,
+  Few know so many friends alive, as dead.
+  Yet, as immortal, in our up-hill chase
+  We press coy fortune with unslacken’d pace;
+  Our ardent labours for the toys we seek,
+  Join night to day, and Sunday to the week:
+  Our very joys are anxious, and expire
+  Between satiety and fierce desire.
+  Now what reward for all this grief and toil?
+  But one; a female friend’s endearing smile;
+  A tender smile, our sorrows’ only balm,
+  And, in life’s tempest, the sad sailor’s calm.
+    How have I seen a gentle nymph draw nigh,
+  Peace in her air, persuasion in her eye;
+  Victorious tenderness! it all o’ercame,
+  Husbands look’d mild, and savages grew tame.
+    The Sylvan race our active nymphs pursue;
+  Man is not all the game they have in view:
+  In woods and fields their glory they complete;
+  Their Master Betty leaps a five-barr’d gate;
+  While fair Miss Charles to toilets is confin’d,
+  Nor rashly tempts the barb’rous sun and wind.
+  Some nymphs affect a more heroic breed,
+  And volt from hunters to the manag’d steed;
+  Command his prancings with a martial air,
+  And Fobert has the forming of the fair.
+    More than one steed must Delia’s empire feel,
+  Who sits triumphant o’er the flying wheel;
+  And as she guides it thro’ th’ admiring throng,
+  With what an air she smacks the silken thong!
+  Graceful as John, she moderates the reins,
+  And whistles sweet her diuretic strains;
+  Sesostris like, such charioteers as these
+  May drive six harness’d monarchs, if they please:
+  They drive, row, run, with love of glory smit,
+  Leap, swim, shoot flying, and pronounce on wit.
+    O’er the belle-lettre lovely Daphne reigns;
+  Again the god Apollo wears her chains:
+  With legs toss’d high, on her sophee she sits
+  Vouchsafing audience to contending wits:
+  Of each performance she’s the final test;
+  One act read o’er, she prophesies the rest;
+  And then, pronouncing with decisive air,
+  Fully convinces all the town—she’s fair.
+  Had lovely Daphne Hecatessa’s face,
+  How would her elegance of taste decrease!
+  Some ladies’ judgment in their features lies,
+  And all their genius sparkles from their eyes.
+    "But hold," she cries, "lampooner! have a care;
+  Must I want common sense, because I’m fair?"
+  O no: see Stella; her eyes shine as bright
+  As if her tongue was never in the right;
+  And yet what real learning, judgment, fire!
+  She seems inspir’d, and can herself inspire:
+  How then (if malice rul’d not all the fair)
+  Could Daphne publish, and could she forbear?
+  We grant that beauty is no bar to sense,
+  Nor is’t a sanction for impertinence.
+    Sempronia lik’d her man; and well she might;
+  The youth in person, and in parts, was bright;
+  Possess’d of every virtue, grace, and art,
+  That claims just empire o’er the female heart:
+  He met her passion, all her sighs return’d,
+  And, in full rage of youthful ardour, burn’d:
+  Large his possessions, and beyond her own:
+  Their bliss the theme, and envy of the town:
+  The day was fix’d, when, with one acre more,
+  In stepp’d deform’d, debauch’d, diseas’d threescore.
+  The fatal sequel I, through shame, forbear:
+  Of pride, and av’rice, who can cure the fair?
+    Man’s rich with little, were his judgment true;
+  Nature is frugal, and her wants are few;
+  Those few wants answer’d, bring sincere delights;
+  But fools create themselves new appetites:
+  Fancy, and pride, seek things at vast expense,
+  Which relish not to reason, nor to sense.
+  When surfeit, or unthankfulness, destroys,
+  In nature’s narrow sphere, our solid joys,
+  In fancy’s airy land of noise and show,
+  Where nought but dreams, no real pleasures, grow;
+  Like cats in air-pumps, to subsist we strive
+  On joys too thin to keep the soul alive.
+  Lemira’s sick; make haste; the doctor call:
+  He comes; but where’s his patient? At the ball.
+  The doctor stares; her woman curtsies low,
+  And cries, "My lady, Sir, is always so:
+  Diversions put her maladies to flight:
+  True, she can’t stand, but she can dance all night:
+  I’ve known my lady (for she loves a tune)
+  For fevers take an opera in June:
+  And, tho’ perhaps you’ll think the practice bold,
+  A midnight park is sov’reign for a cold:
+  With cholics, breakfasts of green fruit agree;
+  With indigestions, supper just at three."
+  A strange alternative, replies Sir Hans,
+  Must women have a doctor, or a dance?
+  Though sick to death, abroad they safely roam,
+  But droop and die, in perfect health, at home:
+  For want—but not of health, are ladies ill;
+  And tickets cure beyond the doctor’s pill.
+    Alas, my heart! how languishingly fair
+  Yon lady lolls! with what a tender air!
+  Pale as a young dramatic author, when,
+  O’er darling lines, fell Cibber waves his pen.
+  Is her lord angry, or has(14) Veny chid?
+  Dead is her father, or the mask forbid?
+  "Late sitting up has turn’d her roses white."
+  Why went she not to bed? "Because ’twas night."
+  Did she then dance, or play? "Nor this, nor that."
+  Well, night soon steals away in pleasing chat.
+  "No, all alone, her prayers she rather chose,
+  Than be that wretch to sleep till morning rose."
+  Then lady Cynthia, mistress of the shade,
+  Goes, with the fashionable owls, to bed:
+  This her pride covets, this her health denies;
+  Her soul is silly, but her body’s wise.
+    Others, with curious arts, dim charms revive,
+  And triumph in the bloom of fifty-five.
+  You, in the morning, a fair nymph invite;
+  To keep her word, a brown one comes at night:
+  Next day she shines in glossy black; and then
+  Revolves into her native red again:
+  Like a dove’s neck, she shifts her transient charms,
+  And is her own dear rival in your arms.
+    But one admirer has the painted lass;
+  Nor finds that one, but in her looking-glass:
+  Yet Laura’s beautiful to such excess,
+  That all her art scarce makes her please us less.
+  To deck the female cheek, he only knows,
+  Who paints less fair the lily, and the rose.
+    How gay they smile! Such blessings nature pours,
+  O’erstock’d mankind enjoy but half her stores:
+  In distant wilds, by human eyes unseen,
+  She rears her flowers, and spreads her velvet green:
+  Pure gurgling rills the lonely desert trace,
+  And waste their music on the savage race.
+  Is nature then a niggard of her bliss?
+  Repine we guiltless in a world like this?
+  But our lewd tastes her lawful charms refuse,
+  And painted art’s depraved allurements choose.
+  Such Fulvia’s passion for the town; fresh air
+  (An odd effect!) gives vapours to the fair;
+  Green fields, and shady groves, and crystal springs,
+  And larks, and nightingales, are odious things;
+  But smoke, and dust, and noise, and crowds, delight;
+  And to be press’d to death, transports her quite:
+  Where silver riv’lets play through flow’ry meads,
+  And woodbines give their sweets, and limes their shades,
+  Black kennels’ absent odours she regrets,
+  And stops her nose at beds of violets.
+    Is stormy life preferr’d to the serene?
+  Or is the public to the private scene?
+  Retir’d, we tread a smooth and open way;
+  Through briers and brambles in the world we stray;
+  Stiff opposition, and perplex’d debate,
+  And thorny care, and rank and stinging hate,
+  Which choke our passage, our career control,
+  And wound the firmest temper of our soul.
+  O sacred solitude! divine retreat!
+  Choice of the prudent! envy of the great!
+  By thy pure stream, or in thy waving shade,
+  We court fair wisdom, that celestial maid:
+  The genuine offspring of her lov’d embrace,
+  (Strangers on earth!) are innocence and peace:
+  There, from the ways of men laid safe ashore,
+  We smile to hear the distant tempest roar;
+  There, bless’d with health, with business unperplex’d,
+  This life we relish, and ensure the next;
+  There too the muses sport; these numbers free,
+  Pierian Eastbury! I owe to thee.
+  There sport the muses; but not there alone:
+  Their sacred force Amelia feels in town.
+  Nought but a genius can a genius fit;
+  A wit herself, Amelia weds a wit:
+  Both wits! though miracles are said to cease,
+  Three days, three wondrous days! they liv’d in peace;
+  With the fourth sun a warm dispute arose,
+  On Durfey’s poesy, and Bunyan’s prose:
+  The learned war both wage with equal force,
+  And the fifth morn concluded the divorce.
+    Phœbe, though she possesses nothing less,
+  Is proud of being rich in happiness:
+  Laboriously pursues delusive toys,
+  Content with pains, since they’re reputed joys.
+  With what well-acted transport will she say,
+  "Well, sure, we were so happy yesterday!
+  And then that charming party for to-morrow!"
+  Though, well she knows, ’twill languish into sorrow:
+  But she dares never boast the present hour;
+  So gross that cheat, it is beyond her power:
+  For such is or our weakness, or our curse,
+  Or rather such our crime, which still is worse,
+  The present moment, like a wife, we shun,
+  And ne’er enjoy, because it is our own.
+    Pleasures are few, and fewer we enjoy;
+  Pleasure, like quicksilver, is bright, and coy;
+  We strive to grasp it with our utmost skill,
+  Still it eludes us, and it glitters still:
+  If seiz’d at last, compute your mighty gains;
+  What is it, but rank poison in your veins?
+    As Flavia in her glass an angel spies,
+  Pride whispers in her ear pernicious lies;
+  Tells her, while she surveys a face so fine,
+  There’s no satiety of charms divine:
+  Hence, if her lover yawns, all chang’d appears
+  Her temper, and she melts (sweet soul!) in tears:
+  She, fond and young, last week, her wish enjoy’d,
+  In soft amusement all the night employ’d;
+  The morning came, when Strephon, waking, found
+  (Surprising sight!) his bride in sorrow drown’d.
+  "What miracle," says Strephon, "makes thee weep?"
+  "Ah, barb’rous man!" she cries, "how could you——sleep?"
+    Men love a mistress, as they love a feast;
+  How grateful one to touch, and one to taste!
+  Yet sure there is a certain time of day,
+  We wish our mistress, and our meat, away:
+  But soon the sated appetites return,
+  Again our stomachs crave, our bosoms burn:
+  Eternal love let man, then, never swear;
+  Let women never triumph, nor despair;
+  Nor praise, nor blame, too much, the warm, or chill;
+  Hunger and love are foreign to the will.
+    There is indeed a passion more refin’d,
+  For those few nymphs whose charms are of the mind:
+  But not of that unfashionable set
+  Is Phyllis; Phyllis and her Damon met.
+  Eternal love exactly hits her taste;
+  Phyllis demands eternal love at least.
+  Embracing Phyllis with soft smiling eyes,
+  Eternal love I vow, the swain replies:
+  But say, my all, my mistress, and my friend!
+  What day next week th’ eternity shall end?
+    Some nymphs prefer astronomy to love:
+  Elope from mortal man, and range above.
+  The fair philosopher to Rowley flies,
+  Where, in a box, the whole creation lies:
+  She sees the planets in their turns advance,
+  And scorns, Poitier, thy sublunary dance;
+  Of Desagulier she bespeaks fresh air;
+  And Whiston has engagements with the fair.
+  What vain experiments Sophronia tries!
+  ’Tis not in air-pumps the gay colonel dies.
+  But though to-day this rage of science reigns,
+  (O fickle sex!) soon end her learned pains.
+  Lo! Pug from Jupiter her heart has got,
+  Turns out the stars, and Newton is a sot.
+    To——turn; she never took the height
+  Of Saturn, yet is ever in the right.
+  She strikes each point with native force of mind,
+  While puzzled learning blunders far behind,
+  Graceful to sight, and elegant to thought,
+  The great are vanquish’d, and the wise are taught.
+  Her breeding finish’d, and her temper sweet,
+  When serious, easy; and when gay, discreet;
+  In glittering scenes, o’er her own heart, sincere;
+  In crowds, collected; and in courts, severe;
+  Sincere, and warm, with zeal well understood,
+  She takes a noble pride in doing good;
+  Yet not superior to her sex’s cares,
+  The mode she fixes by the gown she wears;
+  Of silks and china she’s the last appeal;
+  In these great points she leads the commonweal;
+  And if disputes of empire rise between
+  Mechlin the queen of lace, and colberteen,
+  ’Tis doubt! ’tis darkness! till suspended fate
+  Assumes her nod, to close the grand debate.
+  When such her mind, why will the fair express
+  Their emulation only in their dress?
+    But, oh! the nymph that mounts above the skies,
+  And, gratis, clears religious mysteries,
+  Resolv’d the church’s welfare to ensure,
+  And make her family a sine-cure:
+  The theme divine at cards she’ll not forget,
+  But takes in texts of Scripture at picquet;
+  In those licentious meetings acts the prude,
+  And thanks her Maker that her cards are good.
+  What angels would those be, who thus excel
+  In theologies, could they sew as well!
+  Yet why should not the fair her text pursue?
+  Can she more decently the doctor woo?
+  ’Tis hard, too, she who makes no use but chat
+  Of her religion, should be barr’d in that.
+    Isaac, a brother of the canting strain,
+  When he has knock’d at his own skull in vain,
+  To beauteous Marcia often will repair
+  With a dark text, to light it at the fair.
+  O how his pious soul exults to find
+  Such love for holy men in woman-kind!
+  Charm’d with her learning, with what rapture he
+  Hangs on her bloom, like an industrious bee!
+  Hums round about her, and with all his power
+  Extracts sweet wisdom from so fair a flower!
+    The young and gay declining, Appia flies
+  At nobler game, the mighty and the wise:
+  By nature more an eagle than a dove,
+  She impiously prefers the world to love.
+    Can wealth give happiness? look round, and see
+  What gay distress! what splendid misery!
+  Whatever fortune lavishly can pour,
+  The mind annihilates, and calls for more!
+  Wealth is a cheat; believe not what it says;
+  Like any lord it promises—and pays.
+  How will the miser startle, to be told
+  Of such a wonder, as insolvent gold!
+  What nature wants has an intrinsic weight;
+  All more, is but the fashion of the plate,
+  Which, for one moment, charms the fickle view;
+  It charms us now; anon we cast anew;
+  To some fresh birth of fancy more inclin’d:
+  Then wed not acres, but a noble mind.
+    Mistaken lovers, who make worth their care,
+  And think accomplishments will win the fair:
+  The fair, ’tis true, by genius should be won,
+  As flow’rs unfold their beauties to the sun;
+  And yet in female scales a fop outweighs,
+  And wit must wear the willow and the bays.
+  Nought shines so bright in vain Liberia’s eye
+  As riot, impudence, and perfidy;
+  The youth of fire, that has drunk deep, and play’d,
+  And kill’d his man, and triumph’d o’er his maid;
+  For him, as yet unhang’d, she spreads her charms,
+  Snatches the dear destroyer to her arms;
+  And amply gives (though treated long amiss)
+  The man of merit his revenge in this,
+  If you resent, and wish a woman ill,
+  But turn her o’er one moment to her will.
+    The languid lady next appears in state,
+  Who was not born to carry her own weight;
+  She lolls, reels, staggers, till some foreign aid
+  To her own stature lifts the feeble maid.
+  Then, if ordain’d to so severe a doom,
+  She, by just stages, journeys round the room:
+  But, knowing her own weakness, she despairs
+  To scale the Alps—that is, ascend the stairs.
+  My fan! let others say, who laugh at toil;
+  Fan! hood! glove! scarf! is her laconic style;
+  And that is spoke with such a dying fall,
+  That Betty rather sees, than hears the call:
+  The motion of her lips, and meaning eye,
+  Piece out th’ idea her faint words deny.
+  O listen with attention most profound!
+  Her voice is but the shadow of a sound.
+  And help! oh help! her spirits are so dead,
+  One hand scarce lifts the other to her head.
+  If, there, a stubborn pin it triumphs o’er,
+  She pants! she sinks away! and is more.
+  Let the robust and the gigantic carve,
+  Life is not worth so much, she’d rather starve;
+  But chew she must herself; ah cruel fate!
+  That Rosalinda can’t by proxy eat.
+    An antidote in female caprice lies
+  (Kind heaven!) against the poison of their eyes.
+    Thalestris triumphs in a manly mien;
+  Loud is her accent, and her phrase obscene.
+  In fair and open dealing where’s the shame?
+  What nature dares to give, she dares to name.
+  This honest fellow is sincere and plain,
+  And justly gives the jealous husband pain.
+  (Vain is the task to petticoats assign’d,
+  If wanton language shows a naked mind.)
+  And now and then, to grace her eloquence,
+  An oath supplies the vacancies of sense.
+  Hark! the shrill notes transpierce the yielding air,
+  And teach the neighb’ring echoes how to swear.
+  By Jove, is faint, and for the simple swain;
+  She, on the Christian system, is profane.
+  But though the volley rattles in your ear,
+  Believe her dress, she’s not a grenadier.
+  If thunder’s awful, how much more our dread,
+  When Jove deputes a lady in his stead?
+  A lady! pardon my mistaken pen,
+  A shameless woman is the worst of men.
+    Few to good breeding make a just pretence;
+  Good breeding is the blossom of good sense;
+  The last result of an accomplish’d mind,
+  With outward grace, the body’s virtue, join’d.
+  A violated decency now reigns;
+  And nymphs for failings take peculiar pains.
+  With Chinese painters modern toasts agree,
+  The point they aim at is deformity:
+  They throw their persons with a hoyden air
+  Across the room, and toss into the chair.
+  So far their commerce with mankind is gone,
+  They, for our manners, have exchang’d their own.
+  The modest look, the castigated grace,
+  The gentle movement, and slow measur’d pace,
+  For which her lovers died, her parents pray’d,
+  Are indecorums with the modern maid.
+  Stiff forms are bad; but let not worse intrude,
+  Nor conquer art and nature, to be rude.
+  Modern good-breeding carry to its height,
+  And lady D——’s self will be polite.
+    Ye rising fair! ye bloom of Britain’s isle!
+  When high-born Anna, with a soften’d smile,
+  Leads on your train, and sparkles at your head,
+  What seems most hard, is, not to be well bred.
+  Her bright example with success pursue,
+  And all, but adoration, is your due.
+    But adoration! give me something more,
+  Cries Lyce, on the borders of threescore:
+  Nought treads so silent as the foot of time;
+  Hence we mistake our autumn for our prime;
+  ’Tis greatly wise to know, before we’re told,
+  The melancholy news, that we grow old.
+  Autumnal Lyce carries in her face
+  Memento mori to each public place.
+  O how your beating breast a mistress warms,
+  Who looks through spectacles to see your charms!
+  While rival undertakers hover round,
+  And with his spade the sexton marks the ground,
+  Intent not on her own, but others’ doom,
+  She plans new conquests, and defrauds the tomb.
+  In vain the cock has summon’d sprites away,
+  She walks at noon, and blasts the bloom of day.
+  Gay rainbow silks her mellow charms infold,
+  And nought of Lyce but herself is old.
+  Her grizzled locks assume a smirking grace,
+  And art has levell’d her deep-furrow’d face.
+  Her strange demand no mortal can approve,
+  We’ll ask her blessing, but can’t ask her love.
+  She grants, indeed, a lady may decline
+  (All ladies but herself) at ninety-nine.
+    O how unlike her is the sacred age
+  Of prudent Portia! her gray hairs engage;
+  Whose thoughts are suited to her life’s decline:
+  Virtue’s the paint that can with wrinkles shine.
+  That, and that only, can old age sustain;
+  Which yet all wish, nor know they wish for pain.
+  Not num’rous are our joys, when life is new;
+  And yearly some are falling of the few;
+  But when we conquer life’s meridian stage,
+  And downward tend into the vale of age,
+  They drop apace; by nature some decay,
+  And some the blasts of fortune sweep away;
+  Till naked quite of happiness, aloud
+  We call for death, and shelter in a shroud.
+    Where’s Portia now?—But Portia left behind
+  Two lovely copies of her form and mind.
+  What heart untouch’d their early grief can view,
+  Like blushing rose-buds dipp’d in morning dew?
+  Who into shelter takes their tender bloom,
+  And forms their minds to flee from ills to come?
+  The mind, when turn’d adrift, no rules to guide,
+  Drives at the mercy of the wind and tide;
+  Fancy and passion toss it to and fro;
+  Awhile torment, and then quite sink in woe.
+  Ye beauteous orphans, since in silent dust
+  Your best example lies, my precepts trust.
+  Life swarms with ills; the boldest are afraid;
+  Where then is safety for a tender maid?
+  Unfit for conflict, round beset with woes,
+  And man, whom least she fears, her worst of foes!
+  When kind, most cruel; when oblig’d the most,
+  The least obliging; and by favours lost.
+  Cruel by nature, they for kindness hate;
+  And scorn you for those ills themselves create.
+  If on your fame your sex a blot has thrown,
+  ’Twill ever stick, through malice of your own.
+  Most hard! in pleasing your chief glory lies;
+  And yet from pleasing your chief dangers rise:
+  Then please the best; and know, for men of sense,
+  Your strongest charms are native innocence.
+  Art on the mind, like paint upon the face,
+  Fright him, that’s worth your love, from your embrace.
+  In simple manners all the secret lies;
+  Be kind and virtuous, you’ll be blest and wise.
+  Vain show and noise intoxicate the brain,
+  Begin with giddiness, and end in pain.
+  Affect not empty fame, and idle praise,
+  Which, all those wretches I describe, betrays.
+  Your sex’s glory ’tis, to shine unknown;
+  Of all applause, be fondest of your own.
+  Beware the fever of the mind! that thirst
+  With which the age is eminently curst:
+  To drink of pleasure, but inflames desire;
+  And abstinence alone can quench the fire;
+  Take pain from life, and terror from the tomb;
+  Give peace in hand; and promise bliss to come.

+                                Satire VI.
+
+
+                                On Women.
+
+
+      Inscribed to the Right Honourable the Lady Elizabeth Germain.
+
+
+      Interdum tamen et tollit comœdia vocem.
+
+                                                                 —HOR.
+
+
+  I sought a patroness, but sought in vain.
+  Apollo whisper’d in my ear—"Germain."—
+  I know her not.—"Your reason’s somewhat odd;
+  Who knows his patron, now?" replied the god.
+  "Men write, to me, and to the world, unknown;
+  Then steal great names, to shield them from the town.
+  Detected worth, like beauty disarray’d,
+  To covert flies, of praise itself afraid:
+  Should she refuse to patronize your lays,
+  In vengeance write a volume in her praise.
+  Nor think it hard so great a length to run;
+  When such the theme, ’twill easily be done."
+    Ye fair! to draw your excellence at length,
+  Exceeds the narrow bounds of human strength;
+  You, here, in miniature your picture see;
+  Nor hope from Zincks more justice than from me.
+  My portraits grace your mind, as his your side;
+  His portraits will inflame, mine quench, your pride.
+  He’s dear, you frugal; choose my cheaper lay;
+  And be your reformation all my pay.
+    Lavinia is polite, but not profane;
+  To church as constant as to Drury Lane.
+  She decently, in form, pays heaven its due;
+  And makes a civil visit to her pew.
+  Her lifted fan, to give a solemn air,
+  Conceals her face, which passes for a prayer:
+  Curtsies to curtsies, then, with grace, succeed;
+  Not one the fair omits, but at the creed.
+  Or if she joins the service, ’tis to speak;
+  Thro’ dreadful silence the pent heart might break;
+  Untaught to bear it, women talk away
+  To God himself, and fondly think they pray.
+  But sweet their accent, and their air refin’d;
+  For they’re before their Maker—and mankind:
+  When ladies once are proud of praying well,
+  Satan himself will toll the parish bell.
+    Acquainted with the world, and quite well bred,
+  Drusa receives her visitants in bed;
+  But, chaste as ice, this Vesta, to defy
+  The very blackest tongue of calumny,
+  When from the sheets her lovely form she lifts,
+  She begs you just would turn you, while she shifts.
+    Those charms are greatest which decline the sight,
+  That makes the banquet poignant and polite.
+  There is no woman, where there’s no reserve;
+  And ’tis on plenty your poor lovers starve.
+  But with a modern fair, meridian merit
+  Is a fierce thing, they call a nymph of spirit.
+  Mark well the rollings of her flaming eye;
+  And tread on tiptoe, if you dare draw nigh.
+  "Or if you take a lion by the beard,(15)
+  Or dare defy the fell Hyrcanian pard,
+  Or arm’d rhinoceros, or rough Russian bear,"
+  First make your will, and then converse with her.
+  This lady glories in profuse expense;
+  And thinks distraction is magnificence.
+  To beggar her gallant, is some delight;
+  To be more fatal still, is exquisite;
+  Had ever nymph such reason to be glad?
+  In duel fell two lovers; one run mad.
+  Her foes their honest execrations pour;
+  Her lovers only should detest her more.
+    Flavia is constant to her old gallant,
+  And generously supports him in his want;
+  But marriage is a fetter, is a snare,
+  A hell, no lady so polite can bear.
+  She’s faithful, she’s observant, and with pains
+  Her angel brood of bastards she maintains.
+  Nor least advantage has the fair to plead,
+  But that of guilt, above the marriage-bed.
+    Amasia hates a prude, and scorns restraint;
+  Whate’er she is, she’ll not appear a saint:
+  Her soul superior flies formality;
+  So gay her air, her conduct is so free,
+  Some might suspect the nymph not over good—
+  Nor would they be mistaken, if they should.
+    Unmarried Abra puts on formal airs;
+  Her cushion’s threadbare with her constant prayers.
+  Her only grief is, that she cannot be
+  At once engag’d in prayer and charity.
+  And this, to do her justice, must be said,
+  "Who would not think that Abra was a maid?"
+    Some ladies are too beauteous to be wed;
+  For where’s the man that’s worthy of their bed?
+  If no disease reduce her pride before,
+  Lavinia will be ravish’d at threescore.
+  Then she submits to venture in the dark;
+  And nothing now is wanting—but her spark.
+    Lucia thinks happiness consists in state;
+  She weds an idiot, but she eats in plate.
+  The goods of fortune, which her soul possess,
+  Are but the ground of unmade happiness;
+  The rude material: wisdom add to this,
+  Wisdom, the sole artificer of bliss;
+  She from herself, if so compell’d by need,
+  Of thin content can draw the subtle thread;
+  But (no detraction to her sacred skill)
+  If she can work in gold, ’tis better still.
+    If Tullia had been blest with half her sense,
+  None could too much admire her excellence:
+  But since she can make error shine so bright,
+  She thinks it vulgar to defend the right.
+  With understanding she is quite o’errun;
+  And by too great accomplishments undone:
+  With skill she vibrates her eternal tongue,
+  For ever most divinely in the wrong.
+    Naked in nothing should a woman be;
+  But veil her very wit with modesty:
+  Let man discover, let not her display,
+  But yield her charms of mind with sweet delay.
+    For pleasure form’d, perversely some believe,
+  To make themselves important, men must grieve.
+  Lesbia the fair, to fire her jealous lord,
+  Pretends, the fop she laughs at, is ador’d.
+  In vain she’s proud of secret innocence;
+  The fact she fains were scarce a worse offence.
+    Mira, endow’d with every charm to bless,
+  Has no design, but on her husband’s peace:
+  He lov’d her much; and greatly was he mov’d
+  At small inquietudes in her he lov’d.
+  "How charming this!"—The pleasure lasted long;
+  Now every day the fits come thick and strong:
+  At last he found the charmer only feign’d;
+  And was diverted when he should be pain’d.
+  What greater vengeance had the gods in store?
+  How tedious life, now she can plague no more!
+  She tries a thousand arts; but none succeed:
+  She’s forc’d a fever to procure indeed:
+  Thus strictly prov’d this virtuous, loving wife,
+  Her husband’s pain was dearer than her life.
+    Anxious Melania rises to my view,
+  Who never thinks her lover pays his due:
+  Visit, present, treat, flatter, and adore;
+  Her majesty, to-morrow, calls for more.
+  His wounded ears complaints eternal fill,
+  As unoil’d hinges, querulously shrill.
+  "You went last night with Celia to the ball."
+  You prove it false. "Not go! that’s worst of all."
+  Nothing can please her, nothing not inflame;
+  And arrant contradictions are the same.
+  Her lover must be sad, to please her spleen;
+  His mirth is an inexpiable sin:
+  For of all rivals that can pain her breast,
+  There’s one, that wounds far deeper than the rest;
+  To wreck her quiet, the most dreadful shelf
+  Is if her lover dares enjoy himself.
+    And this, because she’s exquisitely fair:
+  Should I dispute her beauty, how she’d stare!
+  How would Melania be surpris’d to hear
+  She’s quite deform’d! And yet the case is clear;
+  What’s female beauty, but an air divine,
+  Thro’ which the mind’s all gentle graces shine?
+  They, like the sun, irradiate all between;
+  The body charms because the soul is seen.
+  Hence, men are often captives of a face,
+  They know not why, of no peculiar grace:
+  Some forms, tho’ bright, no mortal man can bear;
+  Some, none resist, tho’ not exceeding fair.
+    Aspasia’s highly born, and nicely bred,
+  Of taste refin’d, in life and manners read;
+  Yet reaps no fruit from her superior sense,
+  But to be teaz’d by her own excellence.
+  "Folks are so awkward! things so unpolite!"
+  She’s elegantly pain’d from morn till night.
+  Her delicacy’s shock’d where’er she goes;
+  Each creature’s imperfections are her woes.
+  Heaven by its favour has the fair distrest,
+  And pour’d such blessings—that she can’t be blest.
+    Ah! why so vain, though blooming in thy spring,
+  Thou shining, frail, ador’d, and wretched thing?
+  Old age will come; disease may come before;
+  Fifteen is full as mortal as threescore.
+  Thy fortune, and thy charms, may soon decay:
+  But grant these fugitives prolong their stay,
+  Their basis totters, their foundation shakes;
+  Life, that supports them, in a moment breaks;
+  Then wrought into the soul let virtues shine;
+  The ground eternal, as the work divine.
+    Julia’s a manager; she’s born for rule;
+  And knows her wiser husband is a fool;
+  Assemblies holds, and spins the subtle thread
+  That guides the lover to his fair one’s bed:
+  For difficult amours can smooth the way,
+  And tender letters dictate, or convey.
+  But if depriv’d of such important cares,
+  Her wisdom condescends to less affairs.
+  For her own breakfast she’ll project a scheme,
+  Nor take her tea without a stratagem;
+  Presides o’er trifles with a serious face;
+  Important by the virtue of grimace.
+    Ladies supreme among amusements reign;
+  By nature born to soothe, and entertain.
+  Their prudence in a share of folly lies:
+  Why will they be so weak, as to be wise?
+    Syrena is for ever in extremes,
+  And with a vengeance she commends, or blames.
+  Conscious of her discernment, which is good,
+  She strains too much to make it understood.
+  Her judgment just, her sentence is too strong;
+  Because she’s right, she’s ever in the wrong.
+    Brunetta’s wise in actions great, and rare;
+  But scorns on trifles to bestow her care.
+  Thus ev’ry hour Brunetta is to blame,
+  Because th’ occasion is beneath her aim,
+  Think nought a trifle, though it small appear;
+  Small sands the mountain, moments make the year,
+  And trifles life. Your care to trifles give,
+  Or you may die, before you truly live.
+    Go breakfast with Alicia, there you’ll see,
+  Simplex munditiis, to the last degree:
+  Unlac’d her stays, her night-gown is untied,
+  And what she has of head-dress is aside.
+  She drawls her words, and waddles in her pace;
+  Unwash’d her hands, and much besnuff’d her face.
+  A nail uncut, and head uncomb’d, she loves;
+  And would draw on jack-boots, as soon as gloves.
+  Gloves by Queen Bess’s maidens might be miss’d;
+  Her blessed eyes ne’er saw a female fist.
+  Lovers, beware! to wound how can she fail
+  With scarlet finger, and long jetty nail?
+  For Harvey the first wit she cannot be,
+  Nor, cruel Richmond, the first toast for thee.
+  Since full each other station of renown,
+  Who would not be the greatest trapes in town?
+  Women were made to give our eyes delight;
+  A female sloven is an odious sight.
+    Fair Isabella is so fond of fame,
+  That her dear self is her eternal theme;
+  Through hopes of contradiction, oft she’ll say,
+  "Methinks I look so wretchedly to-day!"
+  When most the world applauds you, most beware;
+  ’Tis often less a blessing than a snare.
+  Distrust mankind; with your own heart confer;
+  And dread even there to find a flatterer.
+  The breath of others raises our renown;
+  Our own as surely blows the pageant down.
+  Take up no more than you by worth can claim,
+  Lest soon you prove a bankrupt in your fame.
+    But own I must, in this perverted age,
+  Who most deserve, can’t always most engage.
+  So far is worth from making glory sure,
+  It often hinders what it should procure.
+  Whom praise we most? The virtuous, brave, and wise?
+  No; wretches, whom, in secret, we despise.
+  And who so blind, as not to see the cause?
+  No rivals rais’d by such discreet applause;
+  And yet, of credit it lays in a store,
+  By which our spleen may wound true worth the more.
+    Ladies there are who think one crime is all:
+  Can women, then, no way but backward fall?
+  So sweet is that one crime they don’t pursue,
+  To pay its loss, they think all others few.
+  Who hold that crime so dear, must never claim
+  Of injur’d modesty the sacred name.
+    But Clio thus: "What! railing without end?
+  Mean task! how much more gen’rous to commend!"
+  Yes, to commend as you are wont to do,
+  My kind instructor, and example too.
+  "Daphnis," says Clio, "has a charming eye:
+  What pity ’tis her shoulder is awry!
+  Aspasia’s shape indeed—but then her air—
+  The man has parts who finds destruction there.
+  Almeria’s wit has something that’s divine;
+  And wit’s enough—how few in all things shine!
+  Selina serves her friends, relieves the poor—
+  Who was it said Selina’s near threescore?
+  At Lucia’s match I from my soul rejoice;
+  The world congratulates so wise a choice;
+  His lordship’s rent-roll is exceeding great—
+  But mortgages will sap the best estate.
+  In Sherley’s form might cherubims appear;
+  But then—she has a freckle on her ear."
+  Without a but, Hortensia she commends,
+  The first of women, and the best of friends;
+  Owns her in person, wit, fame, virtue, bright:
+  But how comes this to pass?—She died last night.
+    Thus nymphs commend, who yet at satire rail:
+  Indeed that’s needless, if such praise prevail.
+  And whence such praise? Our virulence is thrown
+  On others’ fame, thro’ fondness for our own.
+    Of rank and riches proud, Cleora frowns;
+  For are not coronets akin to crowns?
+  Her greedy eye, and her sublime address,
+  The height of avarice and pride confess.
+  You seek perfections worthy of her rank;
+  Go, seek for her perfections at the bank.
+  By wealth unquench’d, by reason uncontrol’d,
+  For ever burns her sacred thirst of gold.
+  As fond of five-pence, as the veriest cit;
+  And quite as much detested as a wit.
+    Can gold calm passion, or make reason shine?
+  Can we dig peace, or wisdom, from the mine?
+  Wisdom to gold prefer; for ’tis much less
+  To make our fortune, than our happiness.
+  That happiness which great ones often see,
+  With rage and wonder, in a low degree;
+  Themselves unblest. The poor are only poor;
+  But what are they who droop amid their store?
+  Nothing is meaner than a wretch of state;
+  The happy only are the truly great.
+  Peasants enjoy like appetites with kings;
+  And those best satisfied with cheapest things.
+  Could both our Indies buy but one new sense,
+  Our envy would be due to large expense.
+  Since not, those pomps which to the great belong,
+  Are but poor arts to mark them from the throng.
+  See how they beg an alms of flattery!
+  They languish! oh support them with a lie!
+  A decent competence we fully taste;
+  It strikes our sense, and gives a constant feast:
+  More, we perceive by dint of thought alone;
+  The rich must labor to possess their own,
+  To feel their great abundance; and request
+  Their humble friends to help them to be blest;
+  To see their treasures, hear their glory told,
+  And aid the wretched impotence of gold.
+    But some, great souls! and touch’d with warmth divine,
+  Give gold a price, and teach its beams to shine.
+  All hoarded treasures they repute a load;
+  Nor think their wealth their own, till well bestow’d.
+  Grand reservoirs of public happiness,
+  Through secret streams diffusively they bless;
+  And, while their bounties glide conceal’d from view,
+  Relieve our wants, and spare our blushes too.
+  But satire is my task; and these destroy
+  Her gloomy province, and malignant joy.
+  Help me, ye misers! help me to complain,
+  And blast our common enemy, Germain:
+  But our invectives must despair success;
+  For next to praise, she values nothing less.
+    What picture’s yonder, loosen’d from its frame?
+  Or is’t Asturia? that affected dame.
+  The brightest forms, through affectation, fade
+  To strange new things, which nature never made.
+  Frown not, ye fair! so much your sex we prize,
+  We hate those arts that take you from our eyes.
+  In Albucinda’s native grace is seen
+  What you, who labour at perfection, mean.
+  Short is the rule, and to be learnt with ease,
+  Retain your gentle selves, and you must please.
+  Here might I sing of Memmia’s mincing mien,
+  And all the movements of the soft machine:
+  How two red lips affected zephyrs blow,
+  To cool the Bohea, and inflame the beau:
+  While one white finger, and a thumb, conspire
+  To lift the cup, and make the world admire.
+    Tea! how I tremble at thy fatal stream!
+  As Lethe, dreadful to the love of fame.
+  What devastations on thy banks are seen!
+  What shades of mighty names which once have been!
+  An hecatomb of characters supplies
+  Thy painted altars’ daily sacrifice.
+  H——, P——, B——, aspers’d by thee, decay,
+  As grains of finest sugars melt away,
+  And recommend thee more to mortal taste:
+  Scandal’s the sweet’ner of a female feast.
+    But this inhuman triumph shall decline,
+  And thy revolting naiads call for wine;
+  Spirits no longer shall serve under thee;
+  But reign in thy own cup, exploded tea!
+  Citronia’s nose declares thy ruin nigh,
+  And who dares give Citronia’s nose the lie?(16)
+    The ladies long at men of drink exclaim’d,
+  And what impair’d both health and virtue, blam’d;
+  At length, to rescue man, the generous lass
+  Stole from her consort the pernicious glass;
+  As glorious as the British queen renown’d,
+  Who suck’d the poison from her husband’s wound.
+    Nor to the glass alone are nymphs inclin’d,
+  But every bolder vice of bold mankind.
+    O Juvenal! for thy severer rage!
+  To lash the ranker follies of our age.
+    Are there, among the females of our isle,
+  Such faults, at which it is a fault to smile?
+  There are. Vice, once by modest nature chain’d
+  And legal ties, expatiates unrestrain’d;
+  Without thin decency held up to view,
+  Naked she stalks o’er law and gospel too.
+  Our matrons lead such exemplary lives,
+  Men sigh in vain for none, but for their wives;
+  Who marry to be free, to range the more,
+  And wed one man to wanton with a score.
+  Abroad too kind, at home ’tis steadfast hate,
+  And one eternal tempest of debate.
+  What foul eruptions, from a look most meek!
+  What thunders bursting, from a dimpled cheek!
+  Their passions bear it with a lofty hand!
+  But then, their reason is at due command.
+  Is there whom you detest, and seek his life?
+  Trust no soul with the secret—but his wife.
+  Wives wonder that their conduct I condemn,
+  And ask, what kindred is a spouse to them?
+    What swarms of am’rous grandmothers I see!
+  And misses, ancient in iniquity?
+  What blasting whispers, and what loud declaiming!
+  What lying, drinking, bawding, swearing, gaming!
+  Friendship so cold, such warm incontinence;
+  Such griping av’rice, such profuse expense;
+  Such dead devotion, such a zeal for crimes;
+  Such licens’d ill, such masquerading times;
+  Such venal faith, such misapplied applause;
+  Such flatter’d guilt, and such inverted laws;
+  Such dissolution through the whole I find,
+  ’Tis not a world, but chaos of mankind.
+    Since Sundays have no balls, the well-dress’d belle
+  Shines in the pew, but smiles to hear of hell;
+  And casts an eye of sweet disdain on all,
+  Who listens less to Collins than St. Paul.
+  Atheists have been but rare; since nature’s birth,
+  Till now, she-atheists ne’er appear’d on earth.
+  Ye men of deep researches, say, whence springs
+  This daring character, in timorous things?
+  Who start at feathers, from an insect fly,
+  A match for nothing—but the Deity.
+    But, not to wrong the fair, the muse must own
+  In this pursuit they court not fame alone;
+  But join to that a more substantial view,
+  "From thinking free, to be free agents too."
+    They strive with their own hearts, and keep them down,
+  In complaisance to all the fools in town.
+  O how they tremble at the name of prude!
+  And die with shame at thought of being good!
+  For what will Artimis, the rich and gay,
+  What will the wits, that is, the coxcombs say?
+  They heaven defy, to earth’s vile dregs a slave;
+  Thro’ cowardice, most execrably brave.
+  With our own judgments durst we to comply,
+  In virtue should we live, in glory die.
+  Rise then, my muse, in honest fury rise;
+  They dread a satire, who defy the skies.
+    Atheists are few: most nymphs a Godhead own;
+  And nothing but his attributes dethrone.
+  From Atheists far, they steadfastly believe
+  God is, and is Almighty——to forgive.
+  His other excellence they’ll not dispute;
+  But mercy, sure, is his chief attribute.
+  Shall pleasures of a short duration chain
+  A lady’s soul in everlasting pain?
+  Will the great Author us poor worms destroy,
+  For now and then a sip of transient joy?
+  No, he’s for ever in a smiling mood;
+  He’s like themselves, or how could he be good?
+  And they blaspheme, who blacker schemes suppose.—
+  Devoutly, thus, Jehovah they depose,
+  The pure! the just! and set up, in his stead,
+  A deity, that’s perfectly well bred.
+    "Dear Tillotson! be sure the best of men;
+  Nor thought he more, than thought great Origen,
+  Though once upon a time he misbehav’d;
+  Poor Satan! doubtless, he’ll at length be sav’d.
+  Let priests do something for their one in ten;
+  It is their trade; so far they’re honest men.
+  Let them cant on, since they have got the knack,
+  And dress their notions, like themselves, in black;
+  Fright us, with terrors of a world unknown,
+  From joys of this, to keep them all their own.
+  Of earth’s fair fruits, indeed, they claim a fee;
+  But then they leave our untith’d virtue free.
+  Virtue’s a pretty thing to make a show:
+  Did ever mortal write like Rochefocaut?"
+  Thus pleads the devil’s fair apologist,
+  And, pleading, safely enters on his list.
+    Let angel-forms angelic truths maintain;
+  Nature disjoins the beauteous and profane.
+  For what’s true beauty, but fair virtue’s face?
+  Virtue made visible in outward grace?
+  She, then, that’s haunted with an impious mind,
+  The more she charms, the more she shocks mankind.
+    But charms decline: the fair long vigils keep:
+  They sleep no more! (17)quadrille has murder’d sleep.
+  "Poor K—p! cries Livia; I have not been there
+  These two nights; the poor creature will despair.
+  I hate a crowd—but to do good, you know—
+  And people of condition should bestow."
+  Convinc’d, o’ercome, to K—p’s grave matrons run;
+  Now set a daughter, and now stake a son;
+  Let health, fame, temper, beauty, fortune, fly;
+  And beggar half their race—thro’ charity.
+    Immortal were we, or else mortal quite,
+  I less should blame this criminal delight:
+  But since the gay assembly’s gayest room
+  Is but the upper story of some tomb,
+  Methinks, we need not our short beings shun,
+  And, thought to fly, contend to be undone.
+  We need not buy our ruin with our crime,
+  And give eternity to murder time.
+    The love of gaming is the worst of ills;
+  With ceaseless storms the blacken’d soul it fills;
+  Inveighs at heaven, neglects the ties of blood;
+  Destroys the power and will of doing good;
+  Kills health, pawns honour, plunges in disgrace,
+  And, what is still more dreadful—spoils your face.
+    See yonder set of thieves that live on spoil,
+  The scandal, and the ruin of our isle!
+  And see, (strange sight!) amid that ruffian band,
+  A form divine high wave her snowy hand;
+  That rattles loud a small enchanted box,
+  Which, loud as thunder, on the board she knocks.
+  And as fierce storms, which earth’s foundation shook,
+  From Æolus’s cave impetuous broke,
+  From this small cavern a mix’d tempest flies,
+  Fear, rage, convulsion, tears, oaths, blasphemies!
+  For men, I mean,—the fair discharges none;
+  She (guiltless creature!) swears to heaven alone.
+    See her eyes start! cheeks glow! and muscles swell!
+  Like the mad maid in the Cumean cell.
+  Thus that divine one her soft nights employs!
+  Thus tunes her soul to tender nuptial joys!
+  And when the cruel morning calls to bed,
+  And on her pillow lays her aching head,
+  With the dear images her dreams are crown’d,
+  The die spins lovely, or the cards go round;
+  Imaginary ruin charms her still;
+  Her happy lord is cuckol’d by spadille:
+  And if she’s brought to bed, ’tis ten to one,
+  He marks the forehead of her darling son.
+    O scene of horror, and of wild despair,
+  Why is the rich Atrides’ splended heir
+  Constrain’d to quit his ancient lordly seat,
+  And hide his glories in a mean retreat?
+  Why that drawn sword? And whence that dismal cry?
+  Why pale distraction thro’ the family?
+  See my lord threaten, and my lady weep,
+  And trembling servants from the tempest creep.
+  Why that gay son to distant regions sent?
+  What fiends that daughter’s destin’d match prevent?
+  Why the whole house in sudden ruin laid?
+  O nothing, but last night—my lady play’d.
+    But wanders not my satire from my theme?
+  Is this too owing to the love of fame?
+  Though now your hearts on lucre are bestow’d,
+  ’Twas first a vain devotion to the mode;
+  Nor cease we here, since ’tis a vice so strong,
+  The torrent sweeps all womankind along;
+  This may be said, in honour of our times,
+  That none now stand distinguish’d by their crimes.
+    If sin you must, take nature for your guide:
+  Love has some soft excuse to soothe your pride:
+  Ye fair apostates from love’s ancient power!
+  Can nothing ravish, but a golden shower?
+  Can cards alone your glowing fancy seize;
+  Must Cupid learn to punt, ere he can please?
+  When you’re enamour’d of a lift or cast,
+  What can the preacher more, to make us chaste?
+  Why must strong youths unmarried pine away?
+  They find no woman disengag’d——from play.
+  Why pine the married—O severer fate!
+  They find from play no disengag’d—estate.
+  Flavia, at lovers false, untouch’d and hard,
+  Turns pale, and trembles at a cruel card.
+  Nor Arria’s Bible can secure her age;
+  Her threescore years are shuffling with her page.
+  While death stands by, but till the game is done,
+  To sweep that stake, in justice, long his own;
+  Like old cards ting’d with sulphur, she takes fire;
+  Or, like snuffs sunk in sockets, blazes higher.
+  Ye gods! with new delights inspire the fair;
+  Or give us sons, and save us from despair.
+    Sons, brothers, fathers, husbands, tradesmen, close
+  In my complaint, and brand your sins in prose:
+  Yet I believe, as firmly as my creed,
+  In spite of all our wisdom, you’ll proceed:
+  Our pride so great, our passion is so strong,
+  Advice to right confirms us in the wrong.
+  I hear you cry, "This fellow’s very odd."
+  When you chastise, who would not kiss the rod?
+  But I’ve a charm your anger shall control,
+  And turn your eyes with coldness on the vole.
+    The charm begins! To yonder flood of light,
+  That bursts o’er gloomy Britain, turn your sight.
+  What guardian power o’erwhelms your souls with awe?
+  Her deeds are precepts, her example law;
+  ’Midst empire’s charms, how Carolina’s heart
+  Glows with the love of virtue, and of art!
+  Her favour is diffus’d to that degree,
+  Excess of goodness! it has dawn’d on me:
+  When in my page, to balance numerous faults,
+  Or godlike deeds were shown, or gen’rous thoughts,
+  She smil’d, industrious to be pleas’d, nor knew
+  From whom my pen the borrow’d lustre drew.
+    (18)Thus the majestic mother of mankind,
+  To her own charms most amiably blind,
+  On the green margin innocently stood,
+  And gaz’d indulgent on the crystal flood;
+  Survey’d the stranger in the painted wave,
+  And, smiling, prais’d the beauties which she gave.
+

+
+                               Satire VII.
+
+
+               To the Right Honourable Sir Robert Walpole.
+
+
+      Carmina tum melius, cum venerit ipse, canemus.
+
+                                                                 VIRG.
+
+
+  On this last labour, this my closing strain,
+  Smile, Walpole! or the Nine inspire in vain:
+  To thee, ’tis due; that verse how justly thine,
+  Where Brunswick’s glory crowns the whole design!
+  That glory, which thy counsels make so bright;
+  That glory, which on thee reflects a light.
+  Illustrious commerce, and but rarely known!
+  To give, and take, a lustre from the throne.
+    Nor think that thou art foreign to my theme;
+  The fountain is not foreign to the stream.
+  How all mankind will be surprised, to see
+  This flood of British folly charg’d on thee!
+  Say, Britain! whence this caprice of thy sons,
+  Which thro’ their various ranks with fury runs?
+  The cause is plain, a cause which we must bless;
+  For caprice is the daughter of success,
+  (A bad effect, but from a pleasing cause!)
+  And gives our rulers undesign’d applause;
+  Tells how their conduct bids our wealth increase,
+  And lulls us in the downy lap of peace.
+    While I survey the blessings of our isle,
+  Her arts triumphant in the royal smile,
+  Her public wounds bound up, her credit high,
+  Her commerce spreading sails in every sky,
+  The pleasing scene recalls my theme again,
+  And shows the madness of ambitious men,
+  Who, fond of bloodshed, draw the murd’ring sword,
+  And burn to give mankind a single lord.
+    The follies past are of a private kind;
+  Their sphere is small; their mischief is confin’d:
+  But daring men there are (Awake, my muse,
+  And raise thy verse!) who bolder frenzy choose;
+  Who stung by glory, rave, and bound away;
+  The world their field, and humankind their prey.
+    The Grecian chief, th’ enthusiast of his pride,
+  With rage and terror stalking by his side,
+  Raves round the globe; he soars into a god!
+  Stand fast, Olympus! and sustain his nod.
+  The pest divine in horrid grandeur reigns,
+  And thrives on mankind’s miseries and pains,
+  What slaughter’d hosts! what cities in a blaze!
+  What wasted countries! and what crimson seas!
+  With orphans’ tears his impious bowl o’erflows,
+  And cries of kingdoms lull him to repose.
+    And cannot thrice ten hundred years unpraise
+  The boist’rous boy, and blast his guilty bays?
+  Why want we then encomiums on the storm,
+  Or famine, or volcano? They perform
+  Their mighty deeds: they, hero-like, can slay,
+  And spread their ample desarts in a day.
+  O great alliance! O divine renown!
+  With dearth, and pestilence, to share the crown.
+  When men extol a wild destroyer’s name,
+  Earth’s builder and preserver they blaspheme.
+    One to destroy, is murder by the law;
+  And gibbets keep the lifted hand in awe;
+  To murder thousands, takes a specious name,
+  War’s glorious art, and gives immortal fame.
+    When, after battle, I the field have seen
+  Spread o’er with ghastly shapes, which once were men;
+  A nation crush’d, a nation of the brave!
+  A realm of death! and on this side the grave!
+  Are there, said I, who from this sad survey,
+  This human chaos, carry smiles away?
+  How did my heart with indignation rise!
+  How honest nature swell’d into my eyes!
+  How was I shock’d to think the hero’s trade
+  Of such materials, fame and triumph made!
+    How guilty these! Yet not less guilty they,
+  Who reach false glory by a smoother way:
+  Who wrap destruction up in gentle words,
+  And bows, and smiles, more fatal than their swords;
+  Who stifle nature, and subsist on art;
+  Who coin the face, and petrify the heart;
+  All real kindness for the show discard,
+  As marble polish’d, and as marble hard;
+  Who do for gold what Christians do thro’ grace,
+  "With open arms their enemies embrace:"
+  Who give a nod when broken hearts repine;
+  "The thinnest food on which a wretch can dine:"
+  Or, if they serve you, serve you disinclin’d,
+  And, in their height of kindness, are unkind.
+  Such courtiers were, and such again may be,
+  Walpole! when men forget to copy thee.
+    Here cease, my muse! the catalogue is writ;
+  Nor one more candidate for fame admit,
+  Tho’ disappointed thousands justly blame
+  Thy partial pen, and boast an equal claim:
+  Be this their comfort, fools, omitted here,
+  May furnish laughter for another year.
+  Then let Crispino, who was ne’er refused
+  The justice yet of being well abus’d,
+  With patience wait; and be content to reign
+  The pink of puppies in some future strain.
+    Some future strain, in which the muse shall tell
+  How science dwindles, and how volumes swell.
+    How commentators each dark passage shun,
+  And hold their farthing candle to the sun.
+    How tortur’d texts to speak our sense are made,
+  And every vice is to the scripture laid.
+    How misers squeeze a young voluptuous peer;
+  His sins to Lucifer not half so dear.
+  How Verres is less qualified to steal
+  With sword and pistol, than with wax and seal.
+    How lawyers’ fees to such excess are run,
+  That clients are redress’d till they’re undone.
+  How one man’s anguish is another’s sport;
+  And ev’n denials cost us dear at court.
+    How man eternally false judgments makes,
+  And all his joys and sorrows are mistakes.
+    This swarm of themes that settles on my pen,
+  Which I, like summer flies, shake off again,
+  Let others sing; to whom my weak essay
+  But sounds a prelude, and points out their prey:
+  That duty done, I hasten to complete
+  My own design; for Tonson’s at the gate.
+    The love of fame in its effect survey’d,
+  The muse has sung; be now the cause display’d:
+  Since so diffusive, and so wide its sway,
+  What is this power, whom all mankind obey?
+    Shot from above, by heaven’s indulgence, came
+  This generous ardour, this unconquer’d flame,
+  To warm, to raise, to deify, mankind,
+  Still burning brightest in the noblest mind.
+  By large-soul’d men, for thirst of fame renown’d,
+  Wise laws were fram’d, and sacred arts were found;
+  Desire of praise first broke the patriot’s rest,
+  And made a bulwark of the warrior’s breast;
+  It bids Argyll in fields and senate shine.
+  What more can prove its origin divine?
+    But, oh! this passion planted in the soul,
+  On eagle’s wings to mount her to the pole,
+  The flaming minister of virtue meant,
+  Set up false gods, and wrong’d her high descent.
+    Ambition, hence, exerts a doubtful force,
+  Of blots, and beauties, an alternate source;
+  Hence Gildon rails, that raven of the pit,
+  Who thrives upon the carcasses of wit;
+  And in art-loving Scarborough is seen
+  How kind a pattern Pollio might have been.
+  Pursuit of fame with pedants fills our schools,
+  And into coxcombs burnishes our fools;
+  Pursuit of fame makes solid learning bright,
+  And Newton lifts above a mortal height;
+  That key of nature, by whose wit she clears
+  Her long, long secrets of five thousand years.
+    Would you then fully comprehend the whole,
+  Why, and in what degrees, pride sways the soul?
+  (For though in all, not equally, she reigns,)
+  Awake to knowledge, and attend my strains.
+    Ye doctors! hear the doctrine I disclose,
+  As true, as if’t were writ in dullest prose;
+  As if a letter’d dunce had said, "’Tis right,"
+  And imprimatur usher’d it to light.
+    Ambition, in the truly noble mind,
+  With sister virtue is for ever join’d;
+  As in fam’d Lucrece, who, with equal dread,
+  From guilt, and shame, by her last conduct, fled:
+  Her virtue long rebell’d in firm disdain,
+  And the sword pointed at her heart in vain;
+  But, when the slave was threaten’d to be laid
+  Dead by her side, her love of fame obey’d.
+    In meaner minds ambition works alone;
+  But with such art puts virtue’s aspect on,
+  That not more like in feature and in mien,
+  (19)The god and mortal in the comic scene.
+  False Julius, ambush’d in this fair disguise,
+  Soon made the Roman liberties his prize.
+    No mask in basest minds ambition wears,
+  But in full light pricks up her ass’s ears:
+  All I have sung are instances of this,
+  And prove my theme unfolded not amiss.
+    Ye vain! desist from your erroneous strife;
+  Be wise, and quit the false sublime of life,
+  The true ambition there alone resides,
+  Where justice vindicates, and wisdom guides;
+  Where inward dignity joins outward state;
+  Our purpose good, as our achievement great;
+  Where public blessings public praise attend;
+  Where glory is our motive, not our end.
+  Wouldst thou be fam’d? Have those high deeds in view
+  Brave men would act, though scandal should ensue.
+    Behold a prince! whom no swoln thoughts inflame;
+  No pride of thrones, no fever after fame!
+  But when the welfare of mankind inspires,
+  And death in view to dear-bought glory fires,
+  Proud conquests then, then regal pomps delight;
+  Then crowns, then triumphs, sparkle in his sight;
+  Tumult and noise are dear, which with them bring
+  His people’s blessings to their ardent king:
+  But, when those great heroic motives cease,
+  His swelling soul subsides to native peace;
+  From tedious grandeur’s faded charms withdraws,
+  A sudden foe to splendour and applause;
+  Greatly deferring his arrears of fame,
+  Till men and angels jointly shout his name.
+  O pride celestial! which can pride disdain;
+  O blest ambition! which can ne’er be vain.
+    From one fam’d Alpine hill, which props the sky,
+  In whose deep womb unfathom’d waters lie,
+  Here burst the Rhone, and sounding Po; there shine,
+  In infant rills, the Danube and the Rhine;
+  From the rich store one fruitful urn supplies,
+  Whole kingdoms smile, a thousand harvests rise.
+    In Brunswick such a source the muse adores,
+  Which public blessings thro’ half Europe pours.
+  When his heart burns with such a godlike aim,
+  Angels and George are rivals for the fame;
+  George! who in foes can soft affections raise,
+  And charm envenom’d satire into praise.
+    (20)Nor human rage alone his power perceives,
+  But the mad winds, and the tumultuous waves.
+  Ev’n storms (death’s fiercest ministers!) forbear,
+  And, in their own wild empire, learn to spare.
+  Thus, nature’s self, supporting man’s decree,
+  Styles Britain’s sovereign, sovereign of the sea.
+    While sea and air, great Brunswick! shook our state,
+  And sported with a king’s and kingdom’s fate,
+  Depriv’d of what she lov’d, and press’d by fear
+  Of ever losing what she held most dear,
+  How did Britannia, like (21)Achilles, weep,
+  And tell her sorrows to the kindred deep!
+  Hang o’er the floods, and, in devotion warm,
+  Strive, for thee, with the surge, and fight the storm
+    What felt thy Walpole, pilot of the realm!
+  Our Palinurus(22) slept not at the helm;
+  His eye ne’er clos’d; long since inur’d to wake,
+  And out-watch every star for Brunswick’s sake:
+  By thwarting passions tost, by cares opprest,
+  He found the tempest pictur’d in his breast:
+  But, now, what joys that gloom of heart dispel,
+  No powers of language—but his own, can tell:
+  His own, which nature and the graces form,
+  At will, to raise, or hush, the civil storm.

+
+                              OCEAN: AN ODE
+
+
+   occasioned by His Majesty’s Royal Encouragement of the Sea Service.
+
+
+     To Which is Prefixed an Ode to the King; and a Discourse on Ode.
+
+
+    I think myself obliged to recommend to you a consideration of the
+    greatest importance; and I should look upon it as a great
+    happiness, if, at the beginning of my reign, I could see the
+    foundation laid of so great and necessary a work, as the increase
+    and encouragement of our seamen in general; that they may be
+    invited, rather than compelled by force and violence, to enter
+    into the service of their country, as oft as occasion shall
+    require it: a consideration worthy the representatives of a people
+    great and flourishing in trade and navigation. This leads me to
+    mention to you the case of Greenwich Hospital, that care may be
+    taken, by some addition to that fund, to render comfortable and
+    effectual that charitable provision, for the support and
+    maintenance of our seamen, worn out, and become decrepit by age
+    and infirmities, in the service of their country.
+
+                                            [Speech, Jan. 27, 1727-8.]
+
+
+
+
+                            To the King.—1728.
+
+
+    Old ocean’s praise
+    Demands my lays;
+  A truly British theme I sing;
+    A theme so great,
+    I dare complete,
+  And join with ocean, ocean’s king.
+
+  The Roman ode
+    Majestic flow’d:
+  Its stream divinely clear, and strong;
+    In sense, and sound,
+    Thebes roll’d profound;
+  The torrent roar’d and foam’d along.
+
+    Let Thebes, nor Rome,
+    So fam’d, presume
+  To triumph o’er a northern isle;
+    Late time shall know
+    The north can glow,
+  If dread Augustus deign to smile.
+
+    The naval crown
+    Is all his own!
+  Our fleet, if war, or commerce, call,
+    His will performs
+    Through waves and storms,
+  And rides in triumph round the ball.
+
+    No former race,
+    With strong embrace,
+  This theme to ravish durst aspire;
+    With virgin charms
+    My soul it warms,
+  And melts melodious on my lyre.
+
+    My lays I file
+    With cautious toil;
+  Ye graces! turn the glowing lines;
+  On anvils neat
+    Your strokes repeat;
+  At every stroke the work refines!
+
+    How music charms!
+    How metre warms!
+  Parent of actions, good and brave!
+    How vice it tames!
+    And worth inflames!
+  And holds proud empire o’er the grave!
+
+    Jove mark’d for man
+    A scanty span,
+  But lent him wings to fly his doom;
+    Wit scorns the grave;
+    To wit he gave
+  The life of gods! immortal bloom!
+
+    Since years will fly,
+    And pleasures die,
+  Day after day, as years advance;
+    Since, while life lasts,
+    Joy suffers blasts
+  From frowning fate, and fickle chance;
+
+    Nor life is long;
+    But soon we throng,
+  Like autumn leaves, death’s pallid shore;
+    We make, at least,
+    Of bad the best,
+  If in life’s phantom, fame, we soar.
+
+    Our strains divide
+    The laurel’s pride;
+  With those we lift to life, to live;
+    By fame enroll’d
+    With heroes bold,
+  And share the blessings which we give.
+
+    What hero’s praise
+    Can fire my lays,
+  Like his, with whom my lay begun?
+    "Justice sincere,
+    And courage clear,
+  Rise the two columns of his throne.
+
+    "How form’d for sway!
+    Who look, obey;
+  They read the monarch in his port:
+    Their love and awe
+    Supply the law;
+  And his own lustre makes the court:"
+
+    On yonder height,
+    What golden light
+  Triumphant shines? and shines alone?
+    Unrivall’d blaze!
+    The nations gaze!
+  ’Tis not the sun; ’tis Britain’s throne.
+
+    Our monarch, there,
+    Rear’d high in air,
+  Should tempests rise, disdains to bend;
+  Like British oak,
+    Derides the stroke;
+  His blooming honours far extend!
+
+    Beneath them lies,
+    With lifted eyes,
+  Fair Albion, like an amorous maid;
+    While interest wings
+    Bold foreign kings
+  To fly, like eagles, to his shade.
+
+    At his proud foot
+    The sea, pour’d out,
+  Immortal nourishment supplies;
+    Thence wealth and state,
+    And power and fate,
+  Which Europe reads in George’s eyes.
+
+    From what we view,
+    We take the clue,
+  Which leads from great to greater thing
+    Men doubt no more,
+    But gods adore,
+  When such resemblance shines in kings.
+
+
+
+
+                             On Lyric Poetry.
+
+
+How imperfect soever my own composition may be, yet am I willing to speak
+a word or two, of the nature of lyric poetry; to show that I have, at
+least, some idea of perfection in that kind of poem in which I am engaged;
+and that I do not think myself poet enough entirely to rely on inspiration
+for success in it.
+
+To our having, or not having, this idea of perfection in the poem we
+undertake, is chiefly owing the merit or demerit of our performances, as
+also the modesty or vanity of our opinions concerning them. And in
+speaking of it I shall show how it unavoidably comes to pass, that bad
+poets, that is, poets in general, are esteemed, and really are, the most
+vain, the most irritable, and most ridiculous set of men upon earth. But
+poetry in its own nature is certainly
+
+
+      Non hos quæsitum munus in usus.
+
+                                                                —VIRG.
+
+
+He that has an idea of perfection in the work he undertakes may fail in
+it; he that has not, must: and yet he will be vain. For every little
+degree of beauty, how short or improper soever, will be looked on fondly
+by him; because it is all pure gains, and more than he promised to
+himself; and because he has no test, or standard in his judgment, with
+which to chastise his opinion of it.
+
+Now this idea of perfection is, in poetry, more refined than in other
+kinds of writing; and because more refined, therefore more difficult; and
+because more difficult, therefore more rarely attained; and the
+non-attainment of it is, as I have said, the source of our vanity. Hence
+the poetic clan are more obnoxious to vanity than others. And from vanity
+consequently flows that great sensibility of disrespect, that quick
+resentment, that tinder of the mind that kindles at every spark, and
+justly marks them out for the genus irritabile among mankind. And from
+this combustible temper, this serious anger for no very serious things,
+things looked on by most as foreign to the important points of life, as
+consequentially flows that inheritance of ridicule, which devolves on
+them, from generation to generation. As soon as they become authors, they
+become like Ben Jonson’s angry boy, and learn the art of quarrel.
+
+
+      Concordes animæ—dum nocte prementur;
+      Heu! quantum inter se bellum, si lumina vitæ
+      Attigerint, quantas acies stragemque ciebunt!
+      Qui Juvenes! quantas ostentant, aspice, vires.
+      Ne, pueri! ne tanta animis assuescite bella.
+      Tuque prior, tu parce, genus qui ducis Olympo,
+      Sidereo flagrans clypeo, et cœlestibus armis,
+      Projice tela manu, sanguis meus!
+      Nec te ullæ facies, non terruit ipse Typhœus
+      Arduus, arma tenens; non te Messapus et Ufens,
+      Contemtorque Deûm Mezentius.
+
+                                                                 VIRG.
+
+
+But to return. He that has this idea of perfection in the work he
+undertakes, however successful he is, will yet be modest; because to rise
+up to that idea, which he proposed for his model, is almost, if not
+absolutely, impossible.
+
+These two observations account for what may seem as strange, as it is
+infallibly true; I mean, they show us why good writers have the lowest,
+and bad writers the highest, opinion of their own performances. They who
+have only a partial idea of this perfection, as their portion of ignorance
+or knowledge of it is greater or less, have proportionable degrees of
+modesty or conceit.
+
+Nor, though natural good understanding makes a tolerably just judgment in
+things of this nature, will the reader judge the worse, for forming to
+himself a notion of what he ought to expect from the piece he has in hand,
+before he begins his perusal of it.
+
+The ode, as it is the eldest kind of poetry, so it is more spiritous, and
+more remote from prose, than any other, in sense, sound, expression, and
+conduct. Its thoughts should be uncommon, sublime, and moral; its numbers
+full, easy, and most harmonious; its expression pure, strong, delicate,
+yet unaffected; and of a curious felicity beyond other poems; its conduct
+should be rapturous, somewhat abrupt, and immethodical to a vulgar eye.
+That apparent order, and connexion, which gives form and life to some
+compositions, takes away the very soul of this. Fire, elevation, and
+select thought, are indispensable; an humble, tame, and vulgar ode is the
+most pitiful error a pen can commit.
+
+
+      Musa dedit fidibus divos, puerosque deorum.
+
+
+And as its subjects are sublime, its writer’s genius should be so too;
+otherwise it becomes the meanest thing in writing, viz. an involuntary
+burlesque.
+
+It is the genuine character, and true merit of the ode, a little to
+startle some apprehensions. Men of cold complexions are very apt to
+mistake a want of vigour in their imaginations, for a delicacy of taste in
+their judgments; and, like persons of a tender sight, they look on bright
+objects, in their natural lustre, as too glaring; what is most delightful
+to a stronger eye, is painful to them. Thus Pindar, who has as much logic
+at the bottom as Aristotle or Euclid, to some critics has appeared as mad;
+and must appear so to all who enjoy no portion of his own divine spirit.
+Dwarf understandings, measuring others by their own standard, are apt to
+think they see a monster, when they see a man.
+
+And indeed it seems to be the amends which nature makes to those whom she
+has not blessed with an elevation of mind, to indulge them in the
+comfortable mistake, that all is wrong, which falls not within the narrow
+limits of their own comprehensions and relish.
+
+Judgment, indeed, that masculine power of the mind, in ode, as in all
+compositions, should bear the supreme sway; and a beautiful imagination,
+as its mistress, should be subdued to its dominion. Hence, and hence only,
+can proceed the fairest offspring of the human mind.
+
+But then in ode, there is this difference from other kinds of poetry;
+that, there, the imagination, like a very beautiful mistress, is indulged
+in the appearance of domineering; though the judgment, like an artful
+lover, in reality carries its point; and the less it is suspected of it,
+it shows the more masterly conduct, and deserves the greater commendation.
+
+It holds true in this province of writing, as in war, "The more danger;
+the more honour." It must be very enterprising: it must, in Shakespeare’s
+style, have hairbreadth ’scapes; and often tread the very brink of error:
+nor can it ever deserve the applause of the real judge, unless it renders
+itself obnoxious to the misapprehensions of the contrary.
+
+Such is Casimire’s strain among the moderns, whose lively wit, and happy
+fire, is an honour to them. And Buchanan might justly be much admired, if
+any thing more than the sweetness of his numbers, and the purity of his
+diction, were his own: his original, from which I have taken my motto,
+through all the disadvantages of a northern prose translation, is still
+admirable; and, Cowley says, as preferable in beauty to Buchanan, as Judæa
+is to Scotland.
+
+Pindar, Anacreon, Sappho, and Horace, are the great masters of lyric
+poetry among Heathen writers. Pindar’s muse, like Sacharissa, is a
+stately, imperious, and accomplished beauty; equally disdaining the use of
+art, and the fear of any rival; so intoxicating that it was the highest
+commendation that could be given an ancient, that he was not afraid to
+taste of her charms;
+
+
+      Pindarici fontis qui non expalluit haustus;
+
+
+a danger which Horace declares he durst not run.
+
+Anacreon’s Muse is like Amoret, most sweet, natural, and delicate; all
+over flowers, graces, and charms; inspiring complacency, not awe; and she
+seems to have good nature enough to admit a rival, which she cannot find.
+
+Sappho’s Muse, like Lady ——, is passionately tender, and glowing; like oil
+set on fire, she is soft, and warm, in excess. Sappho has left us a few
+fragments only; time has swallowed the rest; but that little which
+remains, like the remaining jewel of Cleopatra, after the other was
+dissolved at her banquet, may be esteemed (as was that jewel) a sufficient
+ornament for the goddess of beauty herself.
+
+Horace’s Muse (like one I shall not presume to name) is correct, solid,
+and moral; she joins all the sweetness and majesty, all the sense and the
+fire of the former, in the justest proportions and degrees; superadding a
+felicity of dress entirely her own. She moreover is distinguishable by
+this particularity, that she abounds in hidden graces, and secret charms,
+which none but the discerning can discover; nor are any capable of doing
+full justice, in their opinion to her excellencies, without giving the
+world, at the same time, an incontestable proof of refinement in their own
+understandings.
+
+But, after all, to the honour of our own country I must add, that I think
+Mr. Dryden’s Ode on St. Cecilia’s Day inferior to no composition of this
+kind. Its chief beauty consists in adapting the numbers most happily to
+the variety of the occasion. Those by which he has chosen to express
+majesty, (viz.)
+
+
+        Assumes the God,
+        Affects to nod,
+      And seems to shake the spheres,
+
+
+are chosen in the following ode, because the subject of it is great.
+
+For the more harmony likewise, I chose the frequent return of rhyme; which
+laid me under great difficulties. But difficulties overcome give grace and
+pleasure. Nor can I account for the pleasure of rhyme in general (of which
+the moderns are too fond) but from this truth.
+
+But then the writer must take care that the difficulty is overcome. That
+is, he must make rhyme consistent with as perfect sense, and expression,
+as could be expected if he was free from that shackle. Otherwise, it gives
+neither grace to the work, nor pleasure to the reader, nor, consequently,
+reputation to the poet.
+
+To sum the whole: ode should be peculiar, but not strained; moral, but not
+flat; natural, but not obvious; delicate, but not affected; noble, but not
+ambitious; full, but not obscure; fiery, but not mad; thick, but not
+loaded in its numbers, which should be most harmonious, without the least
+sacrifice of expression, or of sense. Above all, in this, as in every work
+of genius, somewhat of an original spirit should be, at least attempted;
+otherwise the poet, whose character disclaims mediocrity, makes a
+secondary praise his ultimate ambition; which has something of a
+contradiction in it. Originals only have true life, and differ as much
+from the best imitations, as men from the most animated pictures of them.
+Nor is what I say at all inconsistent with a due deference for the great
+standards of antiquity; nay, that very deference is an argument for it,
+for doubtless their example is on my side in this matter. And we should
+rather imitate their example in the general motives, and fundamental
+methods of their working, than in their works themselves. This is a
+distinction, I think, not hitherto made, and a distinction of consequence.
+For the first may make us their equals; the second must pronounce us their
+inferiors even in our utmost success. But the first of these prizes is not
+so readily taken by the moderns; as valuables too massy for easy carriage
+are not so liable to the thief.
+
+The ancients had a particular regard to the choice of their subjects;
+which were generally national and great. My subject is, in its own nature,
+noble; most proper for an Englishman; never more proper than on this
+occasion; and (what is strange) hitherto unsung.
+
+If I stand not absolutely condemned by my own rules; if I have hit the
+spirit of ode in general; if I cannot think with Mr. Cowley, that "Music
+alone, sometimes, makes an excellent ode;"
+
+
+      Versus inopes rerum, nugæque canoræ;
+
+
+if there is any thought, enthusiasm, and picture, which are as the body,
+soul, and robe of poetry; in a word, if in any degree I have provided
+rather food for men, than air for wits; I hope smaller faults will meet
+indulgence for the sake of the design, which is the glory of my country
+and my king.
+
+And indeed, this may be said, in general, that great subjects are above
+being nice; that dignity and spirit ever suffer from scrupulous exactness;
+And that the minuter cares effeminate a composition. Great masters of
+poetry, painting, and statuary, in their nobler works, have even affected
+the contrary: and justly; for a truly masculine air partakes more of the
+negligent, than of the neat, both in writings, and in life—
+
+
+      Grandis oratio haberet majestatis suæ pondus.
+
+                                                              —PETRON.
+
+
+A poem, like a criminal, under too severe correction, may lose all its
+spirit, and expire. We know it was Faberrimus, that was such an artist at
+a hair or a nail. And we know the cause was
+
+
+      Quia ponere totum
+      Nescius.
+
+                                                                  HOR.
+
+
+To close: if a piece of this nature wants an apology, I must own, that
+those who have strength of mind sufficient profitably to devote the whole
+of their time to the severer studies, I despair of imitating, I can only
+envy and admire. The mind is relieved and strengthened by variety; and he
+that sometimes is sporting with his pen, is only taking the most effectual
+means of giving a general importance to it. This truth is clear from the
+knowledge of human nature, and of history; from which I could cite very
+celebrated instances, did I not fear that, by citing them, I should
+condemn myself, who am so little qualified to follow their example in its
+full extent.

+
+
+    Sweet rural scene!
+    Of flocks and green!
+  At careless ease my limbs are spread;
+    All nature still,
+    But yonder rill;
+  And list’ning pines nod o’er my head:
+
+    In prospect wide,
+    The boundless tide!
+  Waves cease to foam, and winds to roar;
+    Without a breeze,
+    The curling seas
+  Dance on, in measure to the shore.
+
+    Who sings the source
+    Of wealth and force?
+  Vast field of commerce, and big war,
+    Where wonders dwell!
+    Where terrors swell!
+  And Neptune thunders from his car?
+
+    Where? where are they,
+    Whom Pæan’s ray
+  Has touch’d, and bid divinely rave?—
+  What! none aspire?
+    I snatch the lyre,
+  And plunge into the foaming wave.
+
+    The wave resounds!
+    The rock rebounds!
+  The Nereids to my song reply!
+    I lead the choir,
+    And they conspire,
+  With voice and shell, to lift it high.
+
+    They spread in air
+    Their bosoms fair,
+  Their verdant tresses pour behind:
+    The billows beat
+    With nimble feet,
+  With notes triumphant swell the wind.
+
+    Who love the shore,
+    Let those adore
+  The god Apollo, and his Nine,
+    Parnassus’ hill,
+    And Orpheus’ skill;
+  But let Arion’s harp be mine.
+
+    The main! the main!
+    Is Britain’s reign;
+  Her strength, her glory, is her fleet:
+    The main! the main!
+    Be Britain’s strain;
+  As Tritons strong, as Syrens sweet.
+
+  Thro’ nature wide
+    Is nought descried
+  So rich in pleasure or surprise;
+    When all-serene,
+    How sweet the scene!
+  How dreadful, when the billows rise;
+
+    And storms deface
+    The fluid glass,
+  In which erewhile Britannia fair
+    Look’d down with pride,
+    Like Ocean’s bride,
+  Adjusting her majestic air!
+
+    When tempests cease,
+    And, hush’d in peace,
+  The flatten’d surges smoothly spread,
+    Deep silence keep,
+    And seem to sleep
+  Recumbent on their oozy bed;
+
+    With what a trance,
+    The level glance,
+  Unbroken, shoots along the seas!
+    Which tempt from shore
+    The painted oar;
+  And every canvass courts the breeze!
+
+    When rushes forth
+    The frowning north
+  On black’ning billows, with what dread
+  My shuddering soul
+    Beholds them roll,
+  And hears their roarings o’er my head!
+
+    With terror mark
+    Yon flying bark!
+  Now center-deep descend the brave;
+    Now, toss’d on high,
+    It takes the sky,
+  A feather on the tow’ring wave!
+
+    Now spins around
+    In whirls profound:
+  Now whelm’d; now pendant near the clouds;
+    Now stunn’d, it reels
+    ’Midst thunder’s peals:
+  And now fierce lightning fires the shrouds.
+
+    All ether burns!
+    Chaos returns!
+  And blends, once more, the seas and skies:
+    No space between
+    Thy bosom green,
+  O deep! and the blue concave, lies.
+
+    The northern blast,
+    The shatter’d mast,
+  The syrt, the whirlpool, and the rock,
+    The breaking spout,
+    The stars gone out,
+  The boiling streight, the monsters shock,
+
+    Let others fear;
+    To Britain dear
+  Whate’er promotes her daring claim;
+    Those terrors charm,
+    Which keep her warm
+  In chase of honest gain, or fame.
+
+    The stars are bright
+    To cheer the night,
+  And shed, thro’ shadows, temper’d fire;
+    And Phœbus’ flames,
+    With burnish’d beams,
+  Which some adore, and all admire.
+
+    Are then the seas
+    Outshone by these?
+  Bright Thetis! thou art not outshone;
+    With kinder beams,
+    And softer gleams,
+  Thy bosom wears them as thy own.
+
+    There, set in green,
+    Gold stars are seen,
+  A mantle rich! thy charms to wrap;
+    And when the sun
+    His race has run,
+  He falls enamour’d in thy lap.
+
+    Those clouds, whose dyes
+    Adorn the skies,
+  That silver snow, that pearly rain,
+    Has Phœbus stole
+    To grace the pole,
+  The plunder of th’ invaded main!
+
+    The gaudy bow,
+    Whose colours glow,
+  Whose arch with so much skill is bent,
+    To Phœbus’ ray,
+    Which paints so gay,
+  By thee the wat’ry woof was lent.
+
+    In chambers deep,
+    Where waters sleep,
+  What unknown treasures pave the floor!
+    The pearl, in rows,
+    Pale lustre throws;
+  The wealth immense, which storms devour.
+
+    From Indian mines,
+    With proud designs,
+  The merchant, swoln, digs golden ore;
+    The tempests rise,
+    And seize the prize,
+  And toss him breathless on the shore.
+
+    His son complains
+    In pious strains,
+  "Ah cruel thirst of gold!" he cries;
+    Then ploughs the main,
+    In zeal for gain,
+  The tears yet swelling in his eyes.
+
+    Thou wat’ry vast!
+    What mounds are cast
+  To bar thy dreadful flowings o’er!
+    Thy proudest foam
+    Must know its home;
+  But rage of gold disdains a shore.
+
+    Gold pleasure buys;
+    But pleasure dies,
+  Too soon the gross fruition cloys;
+    Tho’ raptures court,
+    The sense is short;
+  But virtue kindles living joys;
+
+    Joys felt alone!
+    Joys ask’d of none!
+  Which time’s and fortune’s arrows miss:
+    Joys that subsist,
+    Tho’ fates resist,
+  An unprecarious, endless bliss!
+
+    The soul refin’d
+    Is most inclin’d
+  To every moral excellence;
+    All vice is dull,
+    A knave’s a fool;
+  And virtue is the child of sense.
+
+    The virtuous mind,
+    Nor wave, nor wind,
+  Nor civil rage, nor tyrant’s frown,
+    The shaken ball,
+    Nor planet’s fall,
+  From its firm basis can dethrone.
+
+    This Britain knows,
+    And therefore glows
+  With gen’rous passions, and expends
+    Her wealth and zeal
+    On public weal,
+  And brightens both by god-like ends.
+
+    What end so great
+    As that which late
+  Awoke the genius of the main;
+    Which tow’ring rose
+    With George to close,
+  And rival great Eliza’s reign?
+
+    A voice has flown
+    From Britain’s throne
+  To re-inflame a grand design;
+    That voice shall rear
+    Yon (23)fabric fair,
+  As nature’s rose at the divine.
+
+    When nature sprung,
+    Blest angels sung,
+  And shouted o’er the rising ball;
+    For strains as high
+    As man’s can fly,
+  These sea-devoted honours call.
+
+    From boist’rous seas,
+    The lap of ease
+  Receives our wounded, and our old;
+    High domes ascend!
+    Stretch’d arches bend!
+  Proud columns swell! wide gates unfold!
+
+    Here, soft reclin’d,
+    From wave, from wind,
+  And fortune’s tempest safe ashore,
+    To cheat their care,
+    Of former war
+  They talk the pleasing shadows o’er.
+
+    In lengthen’d tales,
+    Our fleet prevails;
+  In tales the lenitives of age!
+    And o’er the bowl,
+    They fire the soul
+  Of list’ning youth, to martial rage.
+
+    Unhappy they!
+    And falsely gay!
+  Who bask for ever in success;
+    A constant feast
+    Quite palls the taste,
+  And long enjoyment is distress.
+
+    When, after toil,
+    His native soil
+  The panting mariner regains,
+    What transport flows
+    From bare repose!
+  We reap our pleasure from our pains.
+
+    Ye warlike slain!
+    Beneath the main,
+  Wrapt in a wat’ry winding sheet;
+    Who bought with blood
+    Your country’s good,
+  Your country’s (24)full-blown glory greet.
+
+    What pow’rful charm
+    Can death disarm?
+  Your long, your iron slumbers break?
+    By Jove, by Fame,
+    By George’s name,
+  Awake! awake! awake! awake!
+
+    With spiral shell,
+    Full blasted, tell,
+  That all your wat’ry realms should ring;
+    Your pearl alcoves,
+    Your coral groves,
+  Should echo theirs, and Britain’s king.
+
+    As long as stars
+    Guide mariners,
+  As Carolina’s virtues please,
+    Or suns invite
+    The ravish’d sight,
+  The British flag shall sweep the seas.
+
+    Peculiar both!
+    Our soil’s strong growth,
+  And our bold natives’ hardy mind;
+    Sure heaven bespoke
+    Our hearts and oak,
+  To give a master to mankind.
+
+    That noblest birth
+    Of teeming earth,
+  Of forests fair, that daughter proud,
+    To foreign coasts
+    Our grandeur boasts,
+  And Britain’s pleasure speaks aloud:
+
+    Now big with war,
+    Sends fate from far,
+  If rebel realms their fate demand,
+    Now, sumptuous spoils
+    Of foreign soils
+  Pours in the bosom of our land.
+
+    Hence Britain lays
+    In scales, and weighs
+  The fate of kingdoms, and of kings;
+    And as she frowns,
+    Or smiles, on crowns
+  A night, or day of glory, springs.
+
+    Thus ocean swells
+    The streams and rills,
+  And to their borders lifts them high;
+    Or else withdraws
+    The mighty cause,
+  And leaves their famish’d channels dry.
+
+    How mixt, how frail,
+    How sure to fail,
+  Is every pleasure of mankind!
+    A damp destroys
+    My blooming joys,
+  While Britain’s glory fires my mind.
+
+    For who can gaze
+    On restless seas,
+  Unstruck with life’s more restless state?
+    Where all are tost,
+    And most are lost,
+  By tides of passion, blasts of fate?
+
+    The world’s the main,
+    How vext! how vain!
+  Ambition swells, and anger foams;
+    May good men find,
+    Beneath the wind,
+  A noiseless shore, unruffled homes!
+
+    The public scene
+    Of harden’d men
+  Teach me, O teach me to despise!
+    The world few know
+    But to their woe,
+  Our crimes with our experience rise;
+
+    All tender sense
+    Is banish’d thence,
+  All maiden nature’s first alarms
+    What shock’d before
+    Disgust no more,
+  And what disgusted has its charms.
+
+    In landscapes green
+    True bliss is seen,
+  With innocence, in shades, she sports;
+    In wealthy towns
+    Proud labour frowns,
+  And painted sorrow smiles in courts.
+
+    These scenes untried
+    Seduc’d my pride,
+  To fortune’s arrows bar’d my breast;
+    Till wisdom came,
+    A hoary dame!
+  And told me pleasure was in rest.
+
+    "O may I steal
+    Along the vale
+  Of humble life, secure from foes!
+    My friend sincere!
+    My judgment clear!
+  And gentle business my repose!
+
+    "My mind be strong
+    To combat wrong!
+  Grateful, O king! for favours shown!
+    Soft to complain
+    For others’ pain!
+  And bold to triumph o’er my own!
+
+    "(When fortune’s kind)
+    Acute to find,
+  And warm to relish every boon!
+    And wise to still
+    Fantastic ill,
+  Whose frightful spectres stalk at noon!
+
+    "No fruitless toils!
+    No brainless broils!
+  Each moment levell’d at the mark!
+    Our day so short
+    Invites to sport;
+  Be sad and solemn when ’tis dark.
+
+    "Yet, prudence, still
+    Rein thou my will!
+  What’s most important, make most dear!
+    For ’tis in this
+    Resides true bliss;
+  True bliss, a deity severe!
+
+    "When temper leans
+    To gayer scenes,
+  And serious life void moments spares,
+    The sylvan chase
+    My sinews brace!
+  Or song unbend my mind from cares!
+
+    "Nor shun, my soul!
+    The genial bowl,
+  Where mirth, good nature, spirit, flow!
+    Ingredients these,
+    Above, to please
+  The laughing gods, the wise, below.
+
+    "Though rich the vine,
+    More wit than wine,
+  More sense than wit, good-will than art,
+    May I provide!
+    Fair truth, my pride!
+  My joy, the converse of the heart!
+
+    "The gloomy brow,
+    The broken vow,
+  To distant climes, ye gods! remove!
+    The nobly soul’d
+    Their commerce hold
+  With words of truth and looks of love!
+
+    "O glorious aim!
+    O wealth supreme!
+  Divine benevolence of soul!
+    That greatly glows,
+    And freely flows,
+  And in one blessing grasps the whole;
+
+    "Prophetic schemes,
+    And golden dreams,
+  May I, unsanguine, cast away!
+    Have, what I have!
+    And live, not leave,
+  Enamour’d of the present day!
+
+    "My hours my own!
+    My faults unknown!
+  My chief revenue in content!
+    Then, leave one beam
+    Of honest fame!
+  And scorn the labour’d monument!
+
+    "Unhurt my urn!
+    Till that great turn
+  When mighty nature’s self shall die!
+    Time cease to glide,
+    With human pride,
+  Sunk in the ocean of eternity."
+

+
+
+               A PARAPHRASE ON PART OF THE BOOK OF JOB.(25)
+
+
+ To the Right Honourable Thomas Lord Parker, Baron of Macclesfield, Lord
+               High Chancellor of Great Britain, etc. etc.
+
+
+My Lord,
+
+Though I have not the honour of being known to your lordship, I presume to
+take a privilege which men of retirement are apt to think themselves in
+possession of, as being the only method they have of making their way to
+persons of your lordship’s high station without struggling through
+multitudes for access. I may possibly fail in my respect to your lordship,
+even while I endeavour to show it most; but if I err, it is because I
+imagined I ought not to make my first approach to one of your lordship’s
+exalted character with less ceremony than that of a dedication. It is
+annexed to the condition of eminent merit, not to suffer more from the
+malice of its enemies, than from the importunity of its admirers; and
+perhaps it would be unjust, that your lordship should hope to be exempted
+from the troubles, when you possess all the talents, of a patron.
+
+I have here a fair occasion to celebrate those sublime qualities, of which
+a whole nation is sensible, were it not inconsistent with the design of my
+present application. By the just discharge of your great employments, your
+lordship may well deserve the prayers of the distressed, the thanks of
+your country, and the approbation of your royal master: this indeed is a
+reason why every good Briton should applaud your lordship; but it is
+equally a reason why none should disturb you in the execution of your
+important affairs by works of fancy and amusement. I was therefore induced
+to make this address to your lordship, by considering you rather in the
+amiable light of a person distinguished for a refined taste of the polite
+arts, and the candour that usually attends it, than in the dignity of your
+public character.
+
+The greatness and solemnity of the subjects treated of in the following
+work cannot fail in some measure to recommend it to a person who holds in
+the utmost veneration those sacred books from which it is taken; and would
+at the same time justify to the world my choice of the great name prefixed
+to it, could I be assured that the undertaking had not suffered in my
+hands. Thus much I think myself obliged to say; that if this little
+performance had not been very indulgently spoken of by some, whose
+judgment is universally allowed in writings of this nature, I had not
+dared to gratify my ambition in offering it to your lordship: I am
+sensible that I am endeavouring to excuse one vanity by another; but I
+hope I shall meet with pardon for it, since it is visibly intended to show
+the great submission and respect with which I am, my lord, your lordship’s
+most obedient and most humble servant,
+
+                                                             EDWARD YOUNG.
+
+  Thrice happy Job(26) long liv’d in regal state,
+  Nor saw the sumptuous East a prince so great;
+  Whose worldly stores in such abundance flow’d,
+  Whose heart with such exalted virtue glow’d.
+  At length misfortunes take their turn to reign,
+  And ills on ills succeed; a dreadful train!
+  What now but deaths, and poverty, and wrong,
+  The sword wide-wasting, the reproachful tongue,
+  And spotted plagues, that mark’d his limbs all o’er
+  So thick with pains, they wanted room for more?
+  A change so sad what mortal heart could bear?
+  Exhausted woe had left him nought to fear;
+  But gave him all to grief. Low earth he prest,
+  Wept in the dust, and sorely smote his breast.
+  His friends around the deep affliction mourn’d,
+  Felt all his pangs, and groan for groan return’d;
+  In anguish of their hearts their mantles rent,
+  And seven long days in solemn silence spent;
+  A debt of rev’rence to distress so great!
+  Then Job contain’d no more; but cursed his fate.
+  His day of birth, its inauspicious light
+  He wishes sunk in shades of endless night,
+  And blotted from the year; nor fears to crave
+  Death, instant death; impatient for the grave,
+  That seat of bliss, that mansion of repose,
+  Where rest and mortals are no longer foes;
+  Where counsellors are hush’d, and mighty kings
+  (O happy turn!) no more are wretched things.
+    His words were daring, and displeas’d his friends;
+  His conduct they reprove, and he defends;
+  And now they kindled into warm debate,
+  And sentiments oppos’d with equal heat;
+  Fix’d in opinion, both refuse to yield,
+  And summon all their reason to the field:
+  So high at length their arguments were wrought,
+  They reach’d the last extent of human thought:
+  A pause ensu’d.—When, lo! Heaven interpos’d,
+  And awfully the long contention clos’d.
+  Full o’er their heads, with terrible surprise,
+  A sudden whirlwind blacken’d all the skies:
+  (They saw, and trembled!(27)) From the darkness broke
+  A dreadful voice, and thus th’ Almighty spoke.
+    Who gives his tongue a loose so bold and vain,
+  Censures my conduct, and reproves my reign?
+  Lifts up his thoughts against me from the dust,
+  And tells the world’s Creator what is just?
+  Of late so brave, now lift a dauntless eye,
+  Face my demand, and give it a reply:
+  Where didst thou dwell at nature’s early birth?
+  Who laid foundations for the spacious earth?
+  Who on its surface did extend the line,
+  Its form determine, and its bulk confine?
+  Who fix’d the corner-stone? What hand, declare,
+  Hung it on nought, and fasten’d it on air;
+  When the bright morning stars in concert sung,
+  When heaven’s high arch with loud hosannas rung;
+  When shouting sons of God the triumph crown’d,
+  And the wide concave thunder’d with the sound?
+  Earth’s num’rous kingdoms, hast thou view’d them all?
+  And can thy span of knowledge grasp the ball?
+  Who heav’d the mountain, which sublimely stands,
+  And casts its shadow into distant lands?
+    Who, stretching forth his sceptre o’er the deep,
+  Can that wide world in due subjection keep?
+  I broke the globe, I scoop’d its hollow’d side,
+  And did a bason for the floods provide;
+  I chain’d them with my word; the boiling sea,
+  Work’d up in tempests, hears my great decree;
+  "(28)Thus far, thy floating tide shall be convey’d;
+  And here, O main, be thy proud billows stay’d."
+  Hast thou explor’d the secrets of the deep,
+  Where, shut from use, unnumber’d treasures sleep?
+  Where, down a thousand fathoms from the day,
+  Springs the great fountain, mother of the sea?
+  Those gloomy paths did thy bold foot e’er tread,
+  Whole worlds of waters rolling o’er thy head?
+    Hath the cleft centre open’d wide to thee?
+  Death’s inmost chambers didst thou ever see?
+  E’er knock at his tremendous gate, and wade
+  To the black portal through th’ incumbent shade?
+  Deep are those shades; but shades still deeper hide
+  My counsels from the ken of human pride.
+    Where dwells the light? In what refulgent dome?
+  And where has darkness made her dismal home?
+  Thou know’st, no doubt, since thy large heart is fraught
+  With ripen’d wisdom, through long ages brought;
+  Since nature was call’d forth when thou wast by,
+  And into being rose beneath thine eye!
+    Are mists begotten? Who their father knew?
+  From whom descend the pearly drops of dew?
+  To bind the stream by night, what hand can boast,
+  Or whiten morning with the hoary frost?
+  Whose powerful breath, from northern regions blown,
+  Touches the sea, and turns it into stone?
+  The like spirit in these two passages is no bad concurrent
+  argument, that Moses is author of the book of Job.]
+  A sudden desart spreads o’er realms defac’d,
+  And lays one half of the creation waste?
+    Thou know’st me not; thy blindness cannot see
+  How vast a distance parts thy God from thee.
+  Canst thou in whirlwinds mount aloft? Canst thou
+  In clouds and darkness wrap thy awful brow?
+  And, when day triumphs in meridian light,
+  Put forth thy hand, and shade the world with night?
+    Who launch’d the clouds in air, and bid them roll
+  Suspended seas aloft, from pole to pole?
+  Who can refresh the burning sandy plain,
+  And quench the summer with a waste of rain?
+  Who, in rough desarts, far from human toil,
+  Made rocks bring forth, and desolation smile?
+  There blooms the rose, where human face ne’er shone,
+  And spreads its beauties to the sun alone.
+    To check the shower, who lifts his hand on high,
+  And shuts the sluices of th’ exhausted sky
+  When earth no longer mourns her gaping veins,
+  Her naked mountains, and her russet plains;
+  But, new in life, a cheerful prospect yields
+  Of shining rivers, and of verdant fields;
+  When groves and forests lavish all their bloom,
+  And earth and heaven are fill’d with rich perfume?
+    Hast thou e’er scal’d my wintry skies, and seen
+  Of hail and snows my northern magazine?
+  These the dread treasures of mine anger are,
+  My funds of vengeance for the day of war,
+  When clouds rain death, and storms, at my command,
+  Rage through the world, or waste a guilty land.
+    Who taught the rapid winds to fly so fast,
+  Or shakes the centre with his eastern blast?
+  Who from the skies can a whole deluge pour?
+  Who strikes through nature with the solemn roar
+  Of dreadful thunder, points it where to fall,
+  And in fierce lightning wraps the flying ball?
+  Not he who trembles at the darted fires,
+  Falls at the sound, and in the flash expires.
+    Who drew the comet out to such a size,
+  And pour’d his flaming train o’er half the skies?
+  Did thy resentment hang him out? Does he
+  Glare on the nations, and denounce, from thee?
+    Who on low earth can moderate the rein,
+  That guides the stars along th’ ethereal plain?
+  Appoint their seasons, and direct their course,
+  Their lustre brighten, and supply their force?
+  Canst thou the skies’ benevolence restrain,
+  And cause the Pleiades to shine in vain?
+  Or, when Orion sparkles from his sphere,
+  Thaw the cold season, and unbind the year?
+  Bid Mazzaroth his destin’d station know,
+  And teach the bright Arcturus where to glow?
+  Mine is the night, with all her stars; I pour
+  Myriads, and myriads I reserve in store.
+    Dost thou pronounce where day-light shall be born,
+  And draw the purple curtain of the morn;
+  Awake the sun, and bid him come away,
+  And glad thy world with his obsequious ray?
+  Hast thou, inthron’d in flaming glory, driven
+  Triumphant round the spacious ring of heaven?
+  That pomp of light, what hand so far displays,
+  That distant earth lies basking in the blaze?
+    Who did the soul with her rich powers invest,
+  And light up reason in the human breast?
+  To shine, with fresh increase of lustre, bright,
+  When stars and sun are set in endless night?
+  To these my various questions make reply.
+  Th’ Almighty spoke; and, speaking, shook the sky.
+    What then, Chaldæan sire, was thy surprise!
+  Thus thou, with trembling heart, and downcast eyes:
+  "Once and again, which I in groans deplore,
+  My tongue has err’d; but shall presume no more.
+  My voice is in eternal silence bound,
+  And all my soul falls prostrate to the ground."
+    He ceas’d: when, lo! again th’ Almighty spoke;
+  The same dread voice from the black whirlwind broke.
+    Can that arm measure with an arm divine?
+  And canst thou thunder with a voice like mine?
+  Or in the hollow of thy hand contain
+  The bulk of waters, the wide-spreading main,
+  When, mad with tempests, all the billows rise
+  In all their rage, and dash the distant skies?
+    Come forth, in beauty’s excellence array’d;
+  And be the grandeur of thy power display’d;
+  Put on omnipotence, and, frowning, make
+  The spacious round of the creation shake;
+  Dispatch thy vengeance, bid it overthow
+  Triumphant vice, lay lofty tyrants low,
+  And crumble them to dust. When this is done,
+  I grant thy safety lodg’d in thee alone;
+  Of thee thou art, and mayst undaunted stand
+  Behind the buckler of thine own right hand.
+    Fond man! the vision of a moment made!
+  Dream of a dream! and shadow of a shade!
+  What worlds hast thou produc’d, what creatures fram’d,
+  What insects cherish’d, that thy God is blam’d?
+  When (29)pain’d with hunger, the wild raven’s brood
+  Loud calls on God, importunate for food,
+  Who hears their cry, who grants their hoarse request,
+  And stills the clamour of the craving nest?
+    Who in the stupid ostrich(30) has subdu’d
+  A parent’s care, and fond inquietude?
+  While far she flies, her scatter’d eggs are found,
+  Without an owner, on the sandy ground;
+  Cast out on fortune, they at mercy lie,
+  And borrow life from an indulgent sky;
+  Adopted by the sun, in blaze of day,
+  They ripen under his prolific ray.
+  Unmindful she, that some unhappy tread
+  May crush her young in their neglected bed.
+  (31)What time she skims along the field with speed,
+  (32)She scorns the rider, and pursuing steed.
+  How rich the peacock!(33) what bright glories run
+  From plume to plume, and vary in the sun!
+  He proudly spreads them, to the golden ray
+  Gives all his colours, and adorns the day;
+  With conscious state the specious round displays,
+  And slowly moves amid the waving blaze.
+    Who taught the hawk to find, in seasons wise,
+  Perpetual summer, and a change of skies?
+  When clouds deform the year, she mounts the wind,
+  Shoots to the south, nor fears the storm behind;
+  The sun returning, she returns again,
+  Lives in his beams, and leaves ill days to men.
+    Tho’ strong the hawk,(34) tho’ practis’d well to fly,
+  An eagle drops her in a lower sky;
+  An eagle, when, deserting human sight,
+  She seeks the sun in her unwearied flight:
+  Did thy command her yellow pinion lift
+  So high in air, and set her on the clift,
+  Where far above thy world she dwells alone,
+  And proudly makes the strength of rocks her own;
+  (35)Thence wide o’er nature takes her dread survey,
+  And with a glance predestinates her prey?
+  She feasts her young with blood; and, hov’ring o’er
+  Th’ unslaughter’d host, enjoys the promis’d gore.
+    (36)Know’st thou how many moons, by me assign’d,
+  Roll o’er the mountain goat, and forest hind,
+  While pregnant they a mother’s load sustain?
+  They bend in anguish, and cast forth their pain.
+  Hale are their young, from human frailties freed;
+  Walk unsustain’d, and unassisted feed;
+  They live at once; forsake the dam’s warm side;
+  Take the wide world, with nature for their guide;
+  Bound o’er the lawn, or seek the distant glade;
+  And find a home in each delightful shade.
+    Will the tall reem, which knows no lord but me,
+  Low at the crib, and ask an alms of thee;
+  Submit his unworn shoulder to the yoke,
+  Break the stiff clod, and o’er thy furrow smoke?
+  Since great his strength, go trust him, void of care;
+  Lay on his neck the toil of all the year;
+  Bid him bring home the seasons to thy doors,
+  And cast his load among thy gather’d stores.
+    Didst thou from service the wild ass discharge,
+  And break his bonds, and bid him live at large,
+  Through the wide waste, his ample mansion, roam,
+  And lose himself in his unbounded home?
+  By nature’s hand magnificently fed,
+  His meal is on the range of mountains spread;
+  As in pure air aloft he bounds along,
+  He sees in distant smoke the city throng;
+  Conscious of freedom, scorns the smother’d train,
+  The threat’ning driver, and the servile rein.
+    Survey the warlike horse! didst thou invest
+  With thunder his robust distended chest?
+  No sense of fear his dauntless soul allays;
+  ’Tis dreadful to behold his nostrils blaze;
+  To paw the vale he proudly takes delight,
+  And triumphs in the fulness of his might;
+  High rais’d he snuffs the battle from afar,
+  And burns to plunge amid the raging war;
+  And mocks at death, and throws his foam around,
+  And in a storm of fury shakes the ground.
+  How does his firm, his rising heart, advance
+  Full on the brandish’d sword, and shaken lance;
+  While his fix’d eyeballs meet the dazzling shield,
+  Gaze, and return the lightning of the field!
+  He sinks the sense of pain in gen’rous pride,
+  Nor feels the shaft that trembles in his side;
+  But neighs to the shrill trumpet’s dreadful blast
+  Till death; and when he groans, he groans his last.
+    But, fiercer still, the lordly lion stalks,
+  Grimly majestic in his lonely walks;
+  When round he glares, all living creatures fly;
+  He clears the desart with his rolling eye.
+  Say, mortal, does he rouse at thy command,
+  And roar to thee, and live upon thy hand?
+  Dost thou for him in forests bend thy bow,
+  And to his gloomy den the morsel throw,
+  Where bent on death lie hid his tawny brood,
+  And, couch’d in dreadful ambush, pant for blood;
+  Or, stretch’d on broken limbs, consume the day,
+  In darkness wrapt, and slumber o’er their prey?
+  (37)By the pale moon they take their destin’d round,
+  And lash their sides, and furious tear the ground.
+  Now shrieks, and dying groans, the desart fill;
+  They rage, they rend; their rav’nous jaws distill
+  With crimson foam; and, when the banquet’s o’er,
+  They stride away, and paint their steps with gore;
+  In flight alone the shepherd puts his trust,
+  And shudders at the talon in the dust.
+    Mild is my behemoth, though large his frame;
+  Smooth is his temper, and represt his flame,
+  While unprovok’d. This native of the flood
+  Lifts his broad foot, and puts ashore for food;
+  Earth sinks beneath him, as he moves along
+  To seek the herbs, and mingle with the throng.
+  See with what strength his harden’d loins are bound,
+  All over proof and shut against a wound.
+  How like a mountain cedar moves his tail!
+  Nor can his complicated sinews fail.
+  Built high and wide, his solid bones surpass
+  The bars of steel; his ribs are ribs of brass;
+  His port majestic, and his armed jaw,
+  Give the wide forest, and the mountain, law.
+  The mountains feed him; there the beasts admire
+  The mighty stranger, and in dread retire:
+  At length his greatness nearer they survey,
+  Graze in his shadow, and his eye obey.
+  The fens and marshes are his cool retreat,
+  His noontide shelter from the burning heat;
+  Their sedgy bosoms his wide couch are made,
+  And groves of willows give him all their shade.
+    His eye drinks Jordan up, when, fir’d with drought,
+  He trusts to turn its current down his throat;
+  In lessen’d waves it creeps along the plain:
+  (38)He sinks a river, and he thirsts again.
+  (39)Go to the Nile, and, from its fruitful side,
+  Cast forth thy line into the swelling tide:
+  With slender hair leviathan command,
+  And stretch his vastness on the loaded strand.
+  Will he become thy servant? Will he own
+  Thy lordly nod, and tremble at thy frown?
+  Or with his sport amuse thy leisure day,
+  And, bound in silk, with thy soft maidens play?
+    Shall pompous banquets swell with such a prize?
+  And the bowl journey round his ample size?
+  Or the debating merchants share the prey,
+  And various limbs to various marts convey?
+  Thro’ his firm skull what steel its way can win?
+  What forceful engine can subdue his skin?
+  Fly far, and live; tempt not his matchless might:
+  The bravest shrink to cowards in his sight;
+  (40)The rashest dare not rouse him up: Who then
+  Shall turn on me, among the sons of men?
+    Am I a debtor? Hast thou ever heard
+  Whence come the gifts that are on me conferr’d?
+  My lavish fruit a thousand valleys fills,
+  And mine the herds, that graze a thousand hills:
+  Earth, sea, and air, all nature is my own;
+  And stars and sun are dust beneath my throne.
+  And dar’st thou with the world’s great Father vie,
+  Thou, who dost tremble at my creature’s eye?
+    At full my huge leviathan shall rise,
+  Boast all his strength, and spread his wondrous size.
+  Who, great in arms, e’er stripp’d his shining mail,
+  Or crown’d his triumph with a single scale?
+  Whose heart sustains him to draw near? (41)Behold,
+  Destruction yawns; his spacious jaws unfold,
+  And, marshall’d round the wide expanse, disclose
+  Teeth edg’d with death, and crowding rows on rows:
+  What hideous fangs on either side arise!
+  And what a deep abyss between them lies!
+  Mete with thy lance, and with thy plummet sound,
+  The one how long, the other how profound.
+    His bulk is charg’d with such a furious soul,
+  That clouds of smoke from his spread nostrils roll,
+  As from a furnace; and, when rous’d his ire,
+  (42)Fate issues from his jaws in streams of fire.
+  The rage of tempests, and the roar of seas,
+  Thy terror, this thy great superior please;
+  Strength on his ample shoulder sits in state;
+  His well-join’d limbs are dreadfully complete;
+  His flakes of solid flesh are slow to part;
+  As steel his nerves, as adamant his heart.
+    When, late awak’d, he rears him from the floods,
+  And, stretching forth his stature to the clouds,
+  Writhes in the sun aloft his scaly height,
+  And strikes the distant hills with transient light,
+  Far round are fatal damps of terror spread,
+  The mighty fear, nor blush to own their dread.
+    (43)Large is his front; and, when his burnish’d eyes
+  Lift their broad lids, the morning seems to rise.
+  In vain may death in various shapes invade,
+  The swift-wing’d arrow, the descending blade;
+  His naked breast their impotence defies;
+  The dart rebounds, the brittle fauchion flies.
+  Shut in himself, the war without he hears,
+  Safe in the tempest of their rattling spears;
+  The cumber’d strand their wasted volleys strow;
+  His sport, the rage and labour of the foe.
+    His pastimes like a cauldron boil the flood,
+  And blacken ocean with the rising mud;
+  The billows feel him, as he works his way;
+  His hoary footsteps shine along the sea;
+  The foam high-wrought, with white divides the green,
+  And distant sailors point where death has been.
+    His like earth bears not on her spacious face:
+  Alone in nature stands his dauntless race,
+  For utter ignorance of fear renown’d,
+  In wrath he rolls his baleful eye around:
+  Makes every swoln, disdainful heart, subside,
+  And holds dominion o’er the sons of pride.
+    Then the Chaldæan eas’d his lab’ring breast,
+  With full conviction of his crime opprest.
+    "Thou canst accomplish all things, Lord of might:
+  And every thought is naked to thy sight.
+  But, oh! thy ways are wonderful, and lie
+  Beyond the deepest reach of mortal eye.
+  Oft have I heard of thine Almighty power;
+  But never saw thee till this dreadful hour.
+  O’erwhelm’d with shame, the Lord of life I see,
+  Abhor myself, and give my soul to thee.
+  Nor shall my weakness tempt thine anger more:
+  Man is not made to question, but adore."

+
+
+  Whilst his Redeemer on his canvass dies,
+  Stabb’d at his feet his brother weltering lies:
+  The daring artist, cruelly serene,
+  Views the pale cheek and the distorted mien;
+  He drains off life by drops, and, deaf to cries,
+  Examines every spirit as it flies:
+  He studies torment, dives in mortal woe,
+  To rouse up every pang repeats his blow;
+  Each rising agony, each dreadful grace,
+  Yet warm transplanting to his Saviour’s face.
+  Oh glorious theft! oh nobly wicked draught!
+  With its full charge of death each feature fraught,
+  Such wondrous force the magic colours boast,
+  From his own skill he starts in horror lost.

+
+                         On the Tragedy of Cato.
+
+
+  What do we see? Is Cato then become
+  A greater name in Britain than in Rome?
+  Does mankind now admire his virtues more,
+  Though Lucan, Horace, Virgil, wrote before?
+  How will posterity this truth explain?
+  "Cato begins to live in Anna’s reign."
+  The world’s great chiefs, in council or in arms,
+  Rise in your lines with more exalted charms;
+  Illustrious deeds in distant nations wrought,
+  And virtues by departed heroes taught,
+  Raise in your soul a pure immortal flame,
+  Adorn your life, and consecrate your fame;
+  To your renown all ages you subdue,
+  And Cæsar fought, and Cato bled for you.

+                   HISTORICAL EPILOGUE TO THE BROTHERS.
+
+
+                                A Tragedy.
+
+
+  An Epilogue, through custom, is your right,
+  But ne’er perhaps was needful till this night:
+  To-night the virtuous falls, the guilty flies,
+  Guilt’s dreadful close our narrow scene denies.
+  In history’s authentic record read
+  What ample vengeance gluts Demetrius’ shade;
+  Vengeance so great, that, when his tale is told,
+  With pity some e’en Perseus may behold.
+    Perseus surviv’d, indeed, and fill’d the throne,
+  But ceaseless cares in conquest made him groan:
+  Nor reign’d he long; from Rome swift thunder flew,
+  And headlong from his throne the tyrant threw:
+  Thrown headlong down, by Rome in triumph led,
+  For this night’s deed his perjur’d bosom bled:
+  His brother’s ghost each moment made him start,
+  And all his father’s anguish rent his heart.
+    When, rob’d in black, his children round him hung,
+  And their rais’d arms in early sorrow wrung;
+  The younger smil’d, unconscious of their woe;
+  At which thy tears, O Rome! began to flow;
+  So sad the scene! What then must Perseus feel,
+  To see Jove’s race attend the victor’s wheel:
+  To see the slaves of his worst foes increase,
+  From such a source!—An emperor’s embrace!
+  He sicken’d soon to death; and, what is worse,
+  He well deserv’d, and felt, the coward’s curse;
+  Unpitied, scorn’d, insulted his last hour,
+  Far, far from home, and in a vassal’s power:
+  His pale cheek rested on his shameful chain,
+  No friend to mourn, no flatterer to feign;
+  No suit retards, no comfort soothes his doom,
+  And not one tear bedews a monarch’s tomb.
+  Nor ends it thus—dire vengeance to complete,
+  His ancient empire falling shares his fate:
+  His throne forgot! his weeping country chain’d!
+  And nations ask—where Alexander reign’d.
+  As public woes a prince’s crime pursue,
+  So public blessings are his virtue’s due.
+  Shout, Britons, shout—auspicious fortune bless!
+  And cry, Long live—Our title to success!

+
+
+        On Lord Aubrey Beauclerk(45), in Westminster Abbey, 1740.
+
+
+  Whilst Britain boasts her empire o’er the deep,
+  This marble shall compel the brave to weep:
+  As men, as Britons, and as soldiers, mourn;
+  ’Tis dauntless, loyal, virtuous Beauclerk’s urn.
+  Sweet were his manners, as his soul was great,
+  And ripe his worth, though immature his fate;
+  Each tender grace that joy and love inspires,
+  Living, he mingled with his martial fires:
+  Dying, he bid Britannia’s thunders roar;
+  And Spain still felt him, when he breath’d no more.

+
+
+        If fond of what is rare, attend!
+            Here lies an honest man,
+                Of perfect piety,
+              Of lamblike patience,
+            My friend, James Barker;
+        To whom I pay this mean memorial,
+        For what deserves the greatest.
+                  An example
+  Which shone through all the clouds of fortune,
+            Industrious in low estate,
+    The lesson and reproach of those above him.
+              To lay this little stone
+                Is my ambition;
+                While others rear
+  The polish’d marbles of the great!
+            Vain pomp;
+  A turf o’er virtue charms us more.

+
+
+                         A LETTER TO MR. TICKELL,
+
+
+  Occasioned by the Death of the Right Hon. Joseph Addison, Esq., 1719.
+
+
+      —Tu nunc eris alter ab illo.
+
+                                                                —VIRG.
+
+
+  O long with me in Oxford groves confin’d,
+  In social arts and sacred friendship join’d;
+  Fair Isis’ sorrow, and fair Isis’ boast,
+  Lost from her side, but fortunately lost;
+  Thy wonted aid, my dear companion! bring,
+  And teach me thy departed friend to sing:
+  A darling theme! once powerful to inspire,
+  And now to melt, the muses’ mournful choir:
+  Now, and now first, we freely dare commend
+  His modest worth, nor shall our praise offend.
+
+  Early he bloom’d amid the learned train,
+  And ravish’d Isis listen’d to his strain.
+  "See, see," she cried, "old Maro’s muse appears,
+  Wak’d from her slumber of two thousand years:
+  Her finish’d charms to Addison she brings,
+  Thinks in his thought, and in his numbers sings.
+  All read transported his pure classic page;
+  Read, and forget their climate and their age."
+    The state, when now his rising fame was known,
+  Th’ unrival’d genius challeng’d for her own,
+  Nor would that one, for scenes for action strong,
+  Should let a life evaporate in song.
+  As health and strength the brightest charms dispense,
+  Wit is the blossom of the soundest sense:
+  Yet few, how few, with lofty thoughts inspir’d,
+  With quickness pointed, and with rapture fir’d,
+  In conscious pride their own importance find,
+  Blind to themselves, as the hard world is blind!
+  Wit they esteem a gay but worthless power,
+  The slight amusement of a leisure hour;
+  Unmindful that, conceal’d from vulgar eyes,
+  Majestic wisdom wears the bright disguise.
+    Poor Dido fondled thus, with idle joy,
+  Dread Cupid, lurking in the Trojan boy;
+  Lightly she toy’d, and trifled with his charms,
+  And knew not that a god was in her arms.
+    Who greatest excellence of thought could boast,
+  In action, too, have been distinguish’d most:
+  This Sommers(46) knew, and Addison sent forth
+  From the malignant regions of the north,
+  To be matur’d in more indulgent skies,
+  Where all the vigour of the soul can rise;
+  Thro’ warmer veins where sprightlier spirits run,
+  And sense enliven’d sparkles in the sun.
+  With secret pain the prudent patriot gave
+  The hopes of Britain to the rolling wave,
+  Anxious, the charge to all the stars resign’d,
+  And plac’d a confidence in sea and wind.
+    Ausonia soon receiv’d her wondering guest,
+  And equal wonder in her turn confess’d,
+  To see her fervours rival’d by the pole,
+  Her lustre beaming from a northern soul:
+  In like surprise was her Æneas lost,
+  To find his picture grace a foreign coast.
+    Now the wide field of Europe he surveys,
+  Compares her kings, her thrones and empires weighs,
+  In ripen’d judgment and consummate thought;
+  Great work! by Nassau’s favour cheaply bought.
+    He now returns to Britain a support,
+  Wise in her senate, graceful in her court;
+  And when the public welfare would permit,
+  The source of learning, and the soul of wit.
+  O Warwick! (whom the muse is fond to name,
+  And kindles, conscious of her future theme,)
+  O Warwick! by divine contagion bright!
+  How early didst thou catch his radiant light!
+  By him inspir’d, how shine before thy time,
+  And leave thy years, and leap into thy prime!
+    On some warm bank, thus, fortunately born,
+  A rose-bud opens to a summer’s morn,
+  Full-blown ere noon her fragrant pride displays,
+  And shows th’ abundance of her purple rays.
+  Wit, as her bays, was once a barren tree;
+  We now, surpris’d, her fruitful branches see;
+  Or, orange-like, till his auspicious time
+  It grew indeed, but shiver’d in our clime:
+  He first the plant to richer gardens led,
+  And fix’d, indulgent, in a warmer bed:
+  The nation, pleas’d, enjoys the rich produce,
+  And gathers from her ornament her use.
+    When loose from public cares the grove he sought,
+  And fill’d the leisure interval with thought,
+  The various labours of his easy page,
+  A chance amusement, polish’d half an age.
+  Beyond this truth old bards could scarce invent,
+  Who durst to frame a world by accident.
+    What he has sung, how early and how well,
+  The Thames shall boast, and Roman Tiber tell.
+  A glory more sublime remains in store,
+  Since such his talents, that he sung no more.
+    No fuller proof of power th’ Almighty gave,
+  Making the sea, than curbing her proud wave.
+    Nought can the genius of his works transcend,
+  But their fair purpose and important end;
+  To rouse the war for injur’d Europe’s laws,
+  To steel the patriot in great Brunswick’s cause;
+  With virtue’s charms to kindle sacred love,
+  Or paint th’ eternal bowers of bliss above.
+  Where hadst thou room, great author! where to roll
+  The mighty theme of an immortal soul?
+  Through paths unknown, unbeaten, whence were brought
+  Thy proofs so strong for immaterial thought?
+  One let me join, all other may excel.
+  "How could a mortal essence think so well?"
+    But why so large in the great writer’s praise?
+  More lofty subjects should my numbers raise;
+  In him (illustrious rivalry!) contend
+  The statesman, patriot, Christian, and the friend!
+  His glory such, it borders on disgrace
+  To say he sung the best of human race.
+    In joy once join’d, in sorrow now for years,
+  Partner in grief, and brother of my tears,
+  Tickell! accept this verse, thy mournful due;
+  Thou further shalt the sacred theme pursue;
+  And, as thy strain describes the matchless man,
+  Thy life shall second what thy muse began.
+  Though sweet the numbers, though a fire divine
+  Dart through the whole, and burn in every line,
+  Who strives not for that excellence he draws,
+  Is stain’d by fame, and suffers from applause.
+    But haste to thy illustrious task; prepare
+  The noble work well trusted to thy care,
+  The gift(47) bequeath’d by Addison’s command,
+  To Craggs made sacred by his dying hand.
+  Collect the labours, join the various rays,
+  The scatter’d light in one united blaze;
+  Then bear to him so true, so truly lov’d,
+  In life distinguished, and in death approv’d,
+  Th’ immortal legacy. He hangs awhile
+  In generous anguish o’er the glorious pile;
+  With anxious pleasure the known page reviews,
+  And the dear pledge with falling tears bedews.
+  What though thy tears, pour’d o’er thy godlike friend,
+  Thy other cares for Britain’s weal suspend?
+  Think not, O patriot! while thy eyes o’erflow,
+  Those cares suspended for a private woe;
+  Thy love to him is to thy country shown;
+  He mourns for her who mourns for Addison.
+
+
+
+
+
+            REFLECTIONS ON THE PUBLIC SITUATION OF THE KINGDOM
+
+
+                   Inscribed to the Duke of Newcastle.
+
+
+  Holles! immortal in far more than fame!
+  Be thou illustrious in far more than power.
+  Great things are small when greater rise to view
+  Tho’ station’d high, and press’d with public cares,
+  Disdain not to peruse my serious song,
+  Which peradventure may push by the world:
+  Of a few moments rob Britannia’s weal,
+  And leave Europa’s counsels less mature!
+  For thou art noble, and the theme is great.
+    Nor shall or Europe or Britannia blame
+  Thine absent ear, but gain by the delay.
+  Long vers’d in senates and in cabinets,
+  States’ intricate demands and high debates!
+  As thou of use to those, so this to thee;
+  And in a point that empire far outweighs,
+  That far outweighs all Europe’s thrones in one.
+  Let greatness prove its title to be great.
+  ’Tis power’s supreme prerogative to stamp
+  On other minds an image of its own.
+  Bend the strong influence of high place, to stem
+  The stream that sweeps away the country’s weal;
+  The Stygian stream, the torrent of our guilt.
+  Far as thou mayst give life to virtue’s cause;
+  Let not the ties of personal regard
+  Betray the nation’s trust to feeble hands:
+  Let not fomented flames of private pique
+  Prey on the vitals of the public good:
+  Let not our streets with blasphemies resound,
+  Nor lewdness whisper where the laws can reach:
+  Let not best laws, the wisdom of our sires,
+  Turn satires on their sunk degenerate sons,
+  The bastards of their blood! and serve no point
+  But with more emphasis to call them fools:
+  Let not our rank enormities unhinge
+  Britannia’s welfare from divine support.
+    Such deeds the minister, the prince adorn;
+  No power is shown but in such deeds as these:
+  All, all is impotence but acting right;
+  And where’s the statesman but would show his power?
+  To prince and people thou, of equal zeal!
+  Be it henceforward but thy second care
+  To grace thy country, and support the throne;
+  Though this supported, that adorn’d so well,
+  A throne superior our first homage claims;
+  To Cæsar’s Cæsar our first tribute due:
+  A tribute which, unpaid, makes specious wrong
+  And splendid sacrilege of all beside:
+  Illustrious followers; we must first be just;
+  And what so just as awe for the supreme?
+  Less fear we rugged ruffians of the north,
+  Than virtue’s well-clad rebels nearer home
+  Less Loyola’s disguis’d, all-aping sons,
+  Than traitors lurking in our appetites;
+  Less all the legions Seine and Tagus send,
+  Than unrein’d passions rushing on our peace:
+  Yon savage mountaineers are tame to these.
+  Against those rioters send forth the laws,
+  And break to reason’s yoke their wild careers.
+    Prudence for all things points the proper hour,
+  Though some seem more importunate and great.
+  Tho’ Britain’s generous views and interests spread
+  Beyond the narrow circle of her shores,
+  And their grand entries make on distant lands;
+  Though Britain’s genius the wide wave bestrides,
+  And, like a vast Colossus, towering stands
+  With one foot planted on the continent;
+  Yet be not wholly wrapp’d in public cares,
+  Tho’ such high cares should call as call’d of late;
+  The cause of kings and emperors adjourn,
+  And Europe’s little balance drop awhile;
+  For greater drop it: ponder and adjust
+  The rival interests and contending claims
+  Of life and death, of now and of for-ever;
+  Sublimest theme; and needful as sublime.
+  Thus great Eliza’s oracles renown’d,
+  Thus Walsingham and Raleigh, (Britain’s boasts!)
+  Thus every statesman thought that ever—died.
+  There’s inspiration in a sable hour,
+  And Death’s approach makes politicians wise.
+    When thunderstruck, that eagle Wolsey fell;
+  When royal favour, as an ebbing sea,
+  Like a leviathan, his grandeur left,
+  His gasping grandeur! naked on the strand,
+  Naked of human, doubtful of divine,
+  Assistance; no more wallowing in his wealth,
+  Spouting proud foams of insolence no more,
+  On what, then, smote his heart, uncardinal’d,
+  And sunk beneath the level of a man!
+  On the grand article, the sum of things!
+  The point of the first magnitude! that point
+  Tubes mounted in a court, but rarely reach;
+  Some painted cloud still intercepts their sight.
+  First right to judge; then choose; then persevere,
+  Steadfast, as if a crown or mistress call’d.—
+  These, these are politics will stand the test,
+  When finer politics their masters sting,
+  And statesmen fain would shrink to common men.
+  These, these are politics will answer now,
+  (When common men would fain to statesmen swell,)
+  Beyond a Machiavel’s or Tencin’s scheme.
+  All safety rests on honest counsels: these
+  Immortalize the statesman, bless the state,
+  Make the prince triumph, and the people smile;
+  In peace rever’d, or terrible in arms,
+  Close-leagued with an invincible ally,
+  Which honest counsels never fail to fix
+  In favour of an unabandon’d land;
+  A land—that starts at such a land as this,
+  A parliament, so principled, will sink
+  All ancient schools of empire in disgrace,
+  And Britain’s glory, rising from the dead,
+  Will fill the world, loud fame’s superior song.
+Britain!—that word pronounc’d is an alarm;
+  It warms the blood, though frozen in our veins;
+  Awakes the soul, and sends her to the field,
+  Enamour’d of the glorious face of Death.
+  Britain!—there’s noble magic in the sound.
+  O what illustrious images arise!
+  Embattled, round me, blaze the pomps of war!
+  By sea, by land, at home, in foreign climes,
+  What full-blown laurels on our fathers’ brows!
+  Ye radiant trophies! and imperial spoils!
+  Ye scenes!—astonishing to modern sight!
+  Let me, at least, enjoy you in a dream.
+  Why vanish? Stay, ye godlike strangers! stay:
+  Strangers!—I wrong my countrymen: they wake;
+  High beats the pulse: the noble pulse of war
+  Beats to that ancient measure, that grand march
+  Which then prevail’d, when Britain highest soar’d,
+  And every battle paid for heroes slain.
+  No more our great forefathers stain our cheeks
+  With blushes; their renown our shame no more.
+  In military garb, and sudden arms,
+  Up starts old Britain; crosiers are laid by;
+  Trade wields the sword, and agriculture leaves
+  Her half-turn’d furrow: other harvests fire
+  A nobler avarice, avarice of renown!
+  And laurels are the growth of every field.
+  In distant courts is our commotion felt;
+  And less like gods sit monarches on their thrones.
+  What arm can want or sinews or success,
+  Which, lifted from an honest heart, descends,
+  With all the weight of British wrath, to cleave
+  The papal mitre, or the Gallic chain,
+  At every stroke, and save a sinking land?
+    Or death or victory must be resolv’d;
+  To dream of mercy, O how tame! how mad!
+  Where, o’er black deeds the crucifix display’d,
+  Fools think Heaven purchas’d by the blood they shed;
+  By giving, not supporting, pains and death!
+  Nor simple death! where they the greatest saints
+  Who most subdue all tenderness of heart;
+  Students in torture! where, in zeal to him,
+  Whose darling title is the Prince of Peace,
+  The best turn ruthless butchers, for our sakes;
+  To save us in a world they recommend,
+  And yet forbear, themselves with earth content;
+  What modesty!—such virtues Rome adorn!
+  And chiefly those who Rome’s first honours wear,
+  Whose name from Jesus, and whose hearts from hell!
+  And shall a pope-bred princeling crawl ashore,
+  Replete with venom, guiltless of a sting,
+  And whistle cut-throats, with those swords that scrap’d
+  Their barren rocks for wretched sustenance,
+  To cut his passage to the British throne?
+  One that has suck’d in malice with his milk,
+  Malice, to Britain, liberty, and truth?
+  Less savage was his brother-robber’s nurse,
+  The howling nurse of plundering Romulus,
+  Ere yet far worse than pagan harbour’d there.
+    Hail to the brave! be Britain Britain still:
+  Britain! high favour’d of indulgent Heaven!
+  Nature’s anointed empress of the deep!
+  The nurse of merchants, who can purchase crowns!
+  Supreme in commerce! that exuberant source
+  Of wealth, the nerve of war; of wealth, the blood,
+  The circling current in a nation’s veins,
+  To set high bloom on the fair face of peace!
+  This once so celebrated seat of power,
+  From which escap’d the mighty Cæsar triumph’d!
+  Of Gallic lilies this eternal blast!
+  This terror of armadas! this true bolt,
+  Ethereal-temper’d, to repress the vain
+  Salmonean thunders from the papal chair!
+  This small isle wide-realm’d monarchs eye with awe!
+  Which says to their ambition’s foaming waves,
+  "Thus far, nor farther!"—Let her hold, in life,
+  Nought dear disjoin’d from freedom and renown;
+  Renown, our ancestors’ great legacy,
+  To be transmitted to their latest sons.
+  By thoughts inglorious, and un-British deeds,
+  Their cancel’d will is impiously profan’d.
+  Inhumanly disturb’d their sacred dust.
+    Their sacred dust with recent laurels crown,
+  By your own valour won. This sacred isle,
+  Cut from the continent, that world of slaves;
+  This temple built by Heaven’s peculiar care,
+  In a recess from the contagious world,
+  With ocean pour’d around it for its guard,
+  And dedicated, long, to liberty,
+  That health, that strength, that bloom, of civil life!
+  This temple of still more divine; of faith
+  Sifted from errors, purified by flames,
+  Like gold, to take anew truth’s heavenly stamp,
+  And (rising both in lustre and in weight)
+  With her bless’d Master’s unmaim’d image shine;
+  Why should she longer droop? why longer act
+  As an accomplice with the plots of Rome?
+  Why longer lend an edge to Bourbon’s sword,
+  And give him leave, among his dastard troops,
+  To muster that strong succour, Albion’s crimes?
+  Send his self-impotent ambition aid,
+  And crown the conquest of her fiercest foes?
+  Where are her foes most fatal? Blushing truth,
+  "In her friends’ vices,"—with a sigh replies.
+  Empire on virtue’s rock unshaken stands;
+  Flux as the billows, when in vice dissolv’d.
+  If Heaven reclaims us by the scourge of war,
+  What thanks are due to Paris and Madrid?
+  Would they a revolution?—Aid their aim,
+  But be the revolution—in our hearts!
+    Wouldst thou (whose hand is at the helm) the bark,
+  The shaken bark of Britain, should outride
+  The present blast, and every future storm?
+  Give it that ballast which alone has weight
+  With Him whom wind, and waves, and war, obey,
+  Persist. Are others subtle? Thou be wise:
+  Above the Florentine’s court-science raise;
+  Stand forth a patriot of the moral world;
+  The pattern, and the patron, of the just:
+  Thus strengthen Britain’s military strength;
+  Give its own terror to the sword she draws.
+  Ask you, "What mean I?"—The most obvious truth;
+  Armies and fleets alone ne’er won the day.
+  When our proud arms are once disarm’d, disarm’d
+  Of aid from Him by whom the mighty fall;
+  Of aid from Him by whom the feeble stand;
+  Who takes away the keenest edge of battle,
+  Or gives the sword commission to destroy;
+  Who blasts, or bids the martial laurel bloom—
+  Emasculated, then, most manly might;
+  Or, though the might remains, it nought avails:
+  Then wither’d weakness foils the sinewy arm
+  Of man’s meridian and high-hearted power:
+  Our naval thunders, and our tented fields
+  With travel’d banners fanning southern climes,
+  What do they? This; and more what can they do?
+  When heap’d the measure of a kingdom’s crimes,
+  The prince most dauntless, the first plume of war,
+  By such bold inroads into foreign lands,
+  Such elongation of our armaments,
+  But stretches out the guilty nation’s neck,
+  While Heaven commands her executioner,
+  Some less abandon’d nation, to discharge
+  Her full-ripe vengeance in a final blow,
+  And tell the world, "Not strong is human strength;
+  And that the proudest empire holds of Heaven."
+    O Britain! often rescued, often crown’d,
+  Beyond thy merit and most sanguine hopes,
+  With all that’s great in war, or sweet in peace!
+  Know from what source thy signal blessings flow.
+  Though bless’d with spirits ardent in the field,
+  Though cover’d various oceans with thy fleets,
+  Though fenc’d with rocks, and moated by the main,
+  Thy trust repose in a far stronger guard;
+  In Him, who thee, though naked, could defend;
+  Tho’ weak, could strengthen; ruin’d, could restore.
+    How oft, to tell what arm defends thine isle,
+  To guard her welfare, and yet check her pride,
+  Have the winds snatch’d the victory from war?
+  Or, rather, won the day, when war despair’d?
+  How oft has providential succour aw’d,
+  Aw’d while it bless’d us, conscious of our guilt;
+  Struck dead all confidence in human aid,
+  And, while we triumph’d, made us tremble too!
+    Well may we tremble now; what manners reign?
+  But wherefore ask we, when a true reply
+  Would shock too much? Kind Heaven! avert events
+  Whose fatal nature might reply too plain!
+  Heaven’s half-bar’d arm of vengeance has been wav’d
+  In northern skies, and pointed to the south.
+  Vengeance delay’d but gathers and ferments;
+  More formidably blackens in the wind;
+  Brews deeper draughts of unrelenting wrath,
+  And higher charges the suspended storm.
+    "That public vice portends a public fall"—
+  Is this conjecture of adventurous thought!
+  Or pious coward’s pulpit cushion’d dream;
+  Far from it. This is certain; this is fate.
+  What says experience, in her awful chair
+  Of ages, her authentic annals spread
+  Around her? What says reason eagle-eyed?
+  Nay, what says common sense, with common care
+  Weighing events, and causes, in her scale?
+  All give one verdict, one decision sign;
+  And this the sentence Delphos could not mend:
+  "Whatever secondary props may rise
+  From politics, to build the public peace,
+  The basis is the manners of the land.
+  When rotten these, the politician’s wiles
+  But struggle with destruction, as a child
+  With giants huge, or giants with a Jove.
+  The statesman’s arts to conjure up a peace,
+  Or military phantoms void of force,
+  But scare away the vultures for an hour;
+  The scent cadaverous (for, oh! how rank
+  The stench of profligates!) soon lures them back
+  On the proud flutter of a Gallic wing
+  Soon they return; soon make their full descent;
+  Soon glut their rage, and riot in our ruin;
+  Their idols grac’d and gorgeous with our spoils,
+  Of universal empire sure presage!
+  Till now repell’d by seas of British blood."
+    And whence the manners of the multitude?
+  The colours of their manners, black or fair,
+  Falls from above; from the complexion falls
+  Of state Othellos, or white men in power:
+  And from the greater height example falls,
+  Greater the weight, and deeper its impress
+  In ranks inferior, passive to the stroke:
+  From the court-mint, of hearts the current coin,
+  The pupil presses, but the pattern drives.
+  What bonds then, bonds how manifold, and strong
+  To duty, double duty, are the great!
+  And are there Samsons that can burst them all?
+  Yes; and great minds that stand in need of none,
+  Whose pulse beats virtues, and whose generous blood
+  Aids mental motives to push on renown,
+  In emulation of their glorious sires,
+  From whom rolls down the consecrated stream.
+  Some sow good seeds in the glad people’s hearts,
+  Some cursed tares, like Satan in the text:
+  This makes a foe most fatal to the state;
+  A foe who (like a wizard in his cell)
+  In his dark cabinet of crooked schemes,
+  Resembling Cuma’s gloomy grot, the forge
+  Of boasted oracles, and real lies,
+  (Aided, perhaps, by second-sighted Scots,
+  French magi, relics riding post from Rome,
+  A gothic hero(48) rising from the dead,
+  And changing for spruce plaid his dirty shroud,
+  With succour suitable from lower still,)
+  A foe who, these concurring to the charm,
+  Excites those storms that shall o’erturn the state,
+  Rend up her ancient honours by the root,
+  And lay the boast of ages, the rever’d
+  Of nations, the dear-bought with sumless wealth
+  And blood illustrious, (spite of her La Hogues,
+  Her Cresseys, and her Blenheims,) in the dust.
+    How must this strike a horror thro’ the breast,
+  Thro’ every generous breast where honour reigns,
+  Thro’ every breast where honour claims a share!
+  Yes, and thro’ every breast of honour void!
+  This thought might animate the dregs of men;
+  Ferment them into spirit; give them fire
+  To fight the cause, the black opprobrious cause,
+  Foul core of all!—corruption at our hearts.
+  What wreck of empire has the stream of time
+  Swept, with her vices, from the mountain height
+  Of grandeur, deified by half mankind,
+  To dark oblivion’s melancholy lake,
+  Or flagrant infamy’s eternal brand!
+  Those names, at which surrounding nations shook,
+  Those names ador’d, a nuisance! or forgot!
+  Nor this the caprice of a doubtful die,
+  But Nature’s course; no single chance against it.
+    For know, my lord! ’tis writ in adamant,
+  ’Tis fixt, as is the basis of the world,
+  Whose kingdoms stand or fall by the decree.
+  What saw these eyes, surpris’d!—Yet why surpris’d—
+  For aid divine the crisis seem’d to call,
+  And how divine was the monition given!
+  As late I walk’d the night in troubled thought,
+  My peace disturb’d by rumours from the north,
+  While thunder o’er my head, portentous, roll’d,
+  As giving signal of some strange event,
+  And ocean groan’d beneath for her he lov’d,
+  Albion the fair! so long his empire’s queen,
+  Whose reign is, now, contested by her foes,
+  On her white cliffs (a tablet broad and bright,
+  Strongly reflecting the pale lunar ray)
+  By fate’s own iron pen I saw it writ,
+  And thus the title ran:
+
+
+
+
+
+                          THE STATEMAN’S CREED.
+
+
+    "Ye states! and empires! nor of empires least,
+  Though least in size, hear, Britain! thou whose lot,
+  Whose final lot, is in the balance laid,
+  Irresolutely play the doubtful scales,
+  Nor know’st thou which will win.—Know then from me,
+  As govern’d well or ill, states sink or rise:
+  State ministers, as upright or corrupt,
+  Are balm or poison in a nation’s veins!
+  Health or distemper, hasten or retard
+  The period of her pride, her day of doom:
+  And though, for reasons obvious to the wise,
+  Just Providence deals otherwise with men,
+  Yet believe, Britons! nor too late believe,
+  ’Tis fix’d! by fate irrevocably fix’d!
+  Virtue and vice are empire’s life and death."
+
+    Thus it is written—Heard you not a groan?
+  Is Britain on her death-bed?—No, that groan
+  Was utter’d by her foes—but soon the scale,
+  If this divine monition is despis’d,
+  May turn against us. Read it, ye who rule!
+  With reverence read; with steadfastness believe;
+  With courage act as such belief inspires;
+  Then shall your glory stand like fate’s decree;
+  Then shall your name in adamant be writ,
+  In records that defy the tooth of time,
+  By nations sav’d, resounding your applause.
+  While deep beyond your monument’s proud base,
+  In black oblivion’s kennel, shall be trod
+  Their execrable names, who, high in power,
+  And deep in guilt, most ominously shine,
+  (The meteors of the state!) give vice her head,
+  To license lewd let loose the public rein;
+  Quench every spark of conscience in the land,
+  And triumph in the profligate’s applause:
+  Or who to the first bidder sell their souls,
+  Their country sell, sell all their fathers bought
+  With funds exhausted and exhausted veins,
+  To demons, by his holiness ordain’d
+  To propagate the gospel—penn’d at Rome;
+  Hawk’d through the world by consecrated bulls;
+  And how illustrated?—by Smithfleld flames:
+  Who plunge (but not like Curtius) down the gulf,
+  Down narrow-minded self’s voracious gulf,
+  Which gapes and swallows all they swore to save:
+  Hate all that lifted heroes into gods,
+  And hug the horrors of a victor’s chain:
+  Of bodies politic that destin’d hell,
+  Inflicted here, since here their beings end;
+  And fall from foes detested and despis’d,
+  On disbelievers—of the statesman’s creed.
+    Note, here, my lord, (unnoted yet it lies
+  By most, or all,) these truths political
+  Serve more than public ends: this creed of states
+  Seconds, and irresistibly supports,
+  The Christian creed. Are you surpris’d?—Attend
+  And on the statesman’s build a nobler name.
+  This punctual justice exercis’d on states,
+  With which authentic chronicle abounds,
+  As all men know, and therefore must believe;
+  This vengeance pour’d on nations ripe in guilt,
+  Pour’d on them here, where only they exist,
+  What is it but an argument of sense,
+  Or rather demonstration, to support
+  Our feeble faith—"That they who states compose,
+  That men who stand not bounded by the grave,
+  Shall meet like measure at their proper hour?"
+  For God is equal, similarly deals
+  With states and persons, or he were not God!
+  What means a rectitude immutable?
+  A pattern here of universal right.
+  What, then, shall rescue an abandon’d man?
+  Nothing, it is replied. Replied, by whom?
+  Replied by politicians well as priests:
+  Writ sacred set aside, mankind’s own writ,
+  The whole world’s annals; these pronounce his doom.
+    Thus (what might seem a daring paradox)
+  E’en politics advance divinity:
+  True masters there are better scholars here,
+  Who travel history in quest of schemes
+  To govern nations, or perhaps oppress,
+  May there start truths that other aims inspire,
+  And, like Candace’s eunuch, as they read,
+  By Providence turn Christians on their road:
+  Digging for silver, they may strike on gold;
+  May be surpris’d with better than they sought,
+  And entertain an angel unawares.
+    Nor is divinity ungrateful found.
+  As politics advance divinity,
+  Thus, in return, divinity promotes
+  True politics, and crowns the statesman’s praise.
+  All wisdoms are but branches of the chief,
+  And statesmen found but shoots of honest men.
+  Are this world’s witchcrafts pleaded in excuse
+  For deviations in our moral line?
+  This, and the next world, view’d with such an eye
+  As suits a statesman, such as keeps in view
+  His own exalted science, both conspire
+  To recommend and fix us in the right.
+  If we reward the politics of Heaven,
+  The grand administration of the whole,
+  What’s the next world? A supplement of this:
+  Without it, justice is defective here;
+  Just as to states, defective as to men:
+  If so, what is this world? As sure as right
+  Sits in Heaven’s throne, a prophet of the next.
+  Prize you the prophet? then believe him too:
+  His prophecy more precious than his smile.
+  How comes it then to pass, with most on earth,
+  That this should charm us, that should discompose?
+  Long as the statesman finds this case his own,
+  So long his politics are uncomplete;
+  In danger he; nor is the nation safe,
+  But soon must rue his inauspicious power.
+  What hence results? a truth that should resound
+  For ever awful in Britannia’s ear:
+  "Religion crowns the statesman and the man,
+  Sole source of public and of private peace."
+  This truth all men must own, and therefore will,
+  And praise and preach it too:—and when that’s done,
+  Their compliment is paid, and ’tis forgot.
+  What highland pole-axe half so deep can wound?
+    But how dare I, so mean, presume so far?
+  Assume my seat in the dictator’s chair?
+  Pronounce, predict (as if indeed inspir’d),
+  Promulge my censures, lay out all my throat,
+  Till hoarse in clamour on enormous crimes?
+  Two mighty columns rise in my support;
+  In their more awful and authentic voice,
+  Record profane and sacred, drown the muse,
+  Tho’ loud, and far out-thread her threatening song.
+  Still further, Holles! suffer me to plead
+  That I speak freely, as I speak to thee:
+  Guilt only startles at the name of guilt;
+  And truth, plain truth, is welcome to the wise.
+  Thus what seem’d my presumption is thy praise.
+    Praise, and immortal praise, is virtue’s claim;
+  And virtue’s sphere is action: yet we grant
+  Some merit to the trumpet’s loud alarm,
+  Whose clangour kindles cowards into men.
+  Nor shall the verse, perhaps, be quite forgot,
+  Which talks of immortality, and bids,
+  In every British breast, true glory rise,
+  As now the warbling lark awakes the morn.
+  To close, my lord! with that which all should close
+  And all begin, and strike us every hour,
+  Though no war wak’d us, no black tempest frown’d.
+  The morning rises gay; yet gayest morn
+  Less glorious after night’s incumbent shades;
+  Less glorious far bright nature, rich array’d
+  With golden robes, in all the pomp of noon,
+  Than the first feeble dawn of moral day?
+  Sole day, (let those whom statesmen serve attend,)
+  Though the sun ripens diamonds for their crowns;
+  Sole day worth his regard whom Heaven ordains,
+  Undarken’d, to behold noon dark, and date,
+  From the sun’s death, and every planet’s fall,
+  His all-illustrious and eternal year;
+  Where statesmen and their monarchs, (names of awe
+  And distance here,) shall rank with common men,
+  Yet own their glory never dawn’d before.
+
+
+
+
+
+                               RESIGNATION.
+
+
+                              In Two Parts.
+
+
+      My soul shall be satisfied even as it were with marrow and
+      fatness, when my mouth praiseth thee with joyful lips.
+
+                                                       PSALM lxiii. 6.
+
+
+
+
+                              Advertisement.
+
+
+This was not intended for the public; there were many and strong reasons
+against it, and are so still; but some extracts of it, from the few copies
+which were given away, being got into the printed papers, it was thought
+necessary to publish something, lest a copy still more imperfect than this
+should fall into the press: and it is hoped, that this unwelcome occasion
+of publication may be some excuse for it.
+
+As for the following stanzas, God Almighty’s infinite power, and
+marvellous goodness to man, is dwelt on, as the most just and cogent
+reason for our cheerful and absolute resignation to his will; nor are any
+of those topics declined, which have a just tendency to promote that
+supreme virtue: such as the vanity of this life, the value of the next,
+the approach of death, &c.
+
+
+
+
+                                 Part I.
+
+
+  The days how few, how short the years
+    Of man’s too rapid race!
+  Each leaving, as it swiftly flies,
+    A shorter in its place.
+
+  They who the longest lease enjoy,
+    Have told us with a sigh,
+  That to be born seems little more
+    Than to begin to die.
+
+  Numbers there are who feel this truth
+    With fears alarm’d; and yet,
+  In life’s delusions lull’d asleep,
+    This weighty truth forget:
+
+  And am not I to these akin?
+    Age slumbers o’er the quill;
+  Its honour blots, whate’er it writes,
+    And am I writing still?
+
+  Conscious of nature in decline,
+    And languor in my thoughts;
+  To soften censure, and abate
+    Its rigour on my faults
+
+  Permit me, madam! ere to you
+    The promis’d verse I pay,
+  To touch on felt infirmity,
+    Sad sister of decay.
+
+  One world deceas’d, another born,
+    Like Noah they behold,
+  O’er whose white hairs, and furrow’d brows,
+    Too many suns have roll’d:
+
+  Happy the patriarch! he rejoic’d
+    His second world to see:
+  My second world, though gay the scene,
+    Can boast no charms for me.
+
+  To me this brilliant age appears
+    With desolation spread;
+  Near all with whom I liv’d, and smil’d,
+    Whilst life was life, are dead;
+
+  And with them died my joys; the grave
+    Has broken nature’s laws;
+  And clos’d, against this feeble frame,
+    Its partial cruel jaws;
+
+  Cruel to spare! condemn’d to life!
+    A cloud impairs my sight;
+  My weak hand disobeys my will,
+    And trembles as I write.
+
+  What shall I write? Thalia, tell;
+    Say, long abandon’d muse!
+  What field of fancy shall I range?
+    What subject shall I choose?
+
+  A choice of moment high inspire,
+    And rescue me from shame,
+  For doting on thy charms so late,
+    By grandeur in my theme.
+
+  Beyond the themes, which most admire,
+    Which dazzle, or amaze,
+  Beyond renown’d exploits of war,
+    Bright charms, or empire’s blaze,
+
+  Are themes, which, in a world of woe
+    Can best appease our pain;
+  And, in an age of gaudy guilt,
+    Gay folly’s flood restrain;
+
+  Amidst the storms of life support
+    A calm, unshaken mind;
+  And with unfading laurels crown
+    The brow of the resign’d.
+
+  O resignation! yet unsung,
+    Untouch’d by former strains;
+  Though claiming every muse’s smile,
+    And every poet’s pains,
+
+  Beneath life’s evening, solemn shade,
+    I dedicate my page
+  To thee, thou safest guard of youth!
+    Thou sole support of age!
+
+  All other duties crescents are
+    Of virtue faintly bright,
+  The glorious consummation, thou!
+    Which fills her orb with light:
+
+  How rarely fill’d! the love divine
+    In evils to discern,
+  This the first lesson which we want,
+    The latest, which we learn;
+
+  A melancholy truth! for know,
+    Could our proud hearts resign,
+  The distance greatly would decrease
+    ’Twixt human and divine.
+
+  But though full noble is my theme,
+    Full urgent is my call
+  To soften sorrow, and forbid
+    The bursting tear to fall:
+
+  The task I dread; dare I to leave
+    Of humble prose the shore,
+  And put to sea? a dangerous sea?
+    What throngs have sunk before!
+
+  How proud the poet’s billow swells!
+    The God! the God! his boast:
+  A boast how vain! What wrecks abound!
+    Dead bards stench every coast.
+
+  What then am I? Shall I presume,
+    On such a moulten wing,
+  Above the general wreck to rise,
+    And in my winter, sing;
+
+  When nightingales, when sweetest bards
+    Confine their charming song
+  To summer’s animating heats,
+    Content to warble young?
+
+  Yet write I must; a lady(49) sues;
+    How shameful her request!
+  My brain in labour for dull rhyme!
+    Hers teeming with the best!
+
+  But you a stranger will excuse,
+    Nor scorn his feeble strain;
+  To you a stranger, but, through fate,
+    No stranger to your pain.
+
+  The ghost of grief deceas’d ascends,
+    His old wound bleeds anew;
+  His sorrows are recall’d to life
+    By those he sees in you;
+
+  Too well he knows the twisting strings
+    Of ardent hearts combin’d
+  When rent asunder, how they bleed,
+    How hard to be resign’d:
+
+  Those tears you pour, his eyes have shed;
+    The pang you feel, he felt;
+  Thus nature, loud as virtue, bids
+    His heart at yours to melt.
+
+  But what can heart, or head, suggest?
+    What sad experience say?
+  Through truths austere, to peace we work
+    Our rugged, gloomy way:
+
+  What are we? whence? for what? and whither?
+    Who know not, needs must mourn;
+  But thought, bright daughter of the skies!
+    Can tears to triumph turn.
+
+  Thought is our armour, ’tis the mind’s
+    Impenetrable shield,
+  When, sent by fate, we meet our foes,
+    In sore affliction’s field;
+
+  It plucks the frightful mask from ills,
+    Forbids pale fear to hide,
+  Beneath that dark disguise, a friend,
+    Which turns affection’s tide.
+
+  Affection frail! train’d up by sense,
+    From reason’s channel strays:
+  And whilst it blindly points at peace,
+    Our peace to pain betrays.
+
+  Thought winds its fond, erroneous stream
+    From daily dying flowers,
+  To nourish rich immortal blooms,
+    In amaranthine bowers;
+
+  Whence throngs, in ecstasy, look down
+    On what once shock’d their sight;
+  And thank the terrors of the past
+    For ages of delight.
+
+  All withers here; who most possess
+    Are losers by their gain,
+  Stung by full proof, that, bad at best,
+    Life’s idle all is vain:
+
+  Vain, in its course, life’s murmuring stream;
+    Did not its course offend,
+  But murmur cease; life, then, would seem
+    Still vainer, from its end.
+
+  How wretched! who, through cruel fate,
+    Have nothing to lament!
+  With the poor alms this world affords
+    Deplorably content!
+
+  Had not the Greek his world mistook,
+    His wish had been most wise;
+  To be content with but one world,
+    Like him, we should despise.
+
+  Of earth’s revenue would you state
+    A full account and fair?
+  We hope; and hope; and hope; then cast
+    The total up—-—-
+                              _Despair._
+
+  Since vain all here, all future, vast,
+    Embrace the lot assign’d;
+  Heaven wounds to heal; its frowns are friends;
+    Its stroke severe, most kind.
+
+  But in laps’d nature rooted deep,
+    Blind error domineers;
+  And on fools’ errands, in the dark,
+    Sends out our hopes and fears;
+
+  Bids us for ever pains deplore,
+    Our pleasures overprize;
+  These oft persuade us to be weak;
+    Those urge us to be wise.
+
+  From virtue’s rugged path to right
+    By pleasure are we brought,
+  To flowery fields of wrong, and there
+    Pain chides us for our fault:
+
+  Yet whilst it chides, it speaks of peace
+    If folly is withstood;
+  And says, time pays an easy price,
+    For our eternal good.
+
+  In earth’s dark cot, and in an hour,
+    And in delusion great,
+  What an economist is man
+    To spend his whole estate,
+
+  And beggar an eternity!
+    For which as he was born,
+  More worlds than one against it weigh’d,
+    As feathers he should scorn.
+
+  Say not, your loss in triumph leads
+    Religion’s feeble strife;
+  Joys future amply reimburse
+    Joys bankrupts of this life.
+
+  But not deferr’d your joy so long,
+    It bears an early date;
+  Affliction’s ready pay in hand,
+    Befriends our present state;
+
+  What are the tears, which trickle down
+    Her melancholy face,
+  Like liquid pearl? Like pearls of price,
+    They purchase lasting peace.
+
+  Grief softens hearts, and curbs the will,
+    Impetuous passion tames,
+  And keeps insatiate, keen desire
+    From launching in extremes.
+
+  Through time’s dark womb, our judgment right,
+    If our dim eye was thrown,
+  Clear should we see, the will divine
+    Has but forestall’d our own;
+
+  At variance with our future wish,
+    Self-sever’d we complain;
+  If so, the wounded, not the wound,
+    Must answer for the pain:
+
+  The day shall come, and swift of wing,
+    Though you may think it slow,
+  When, in the list of fortune’s smiles,
+    You’ll enter frowns of woe.
+
+  For mark the path of Providence;
+    This course it has pursued—
+  "Pain is the parent, woe the womb,
+    Of sound, important good:"
+
+  Our hearts are fasten’d to this world
+    By strong and endless ties:
+  And every sorrow cuts a string,
+    And urges us to rise:
+
+  ’Twill sound severe—Yet rest assur’d
+    I’m studious of your peace;
+  Though I should dare to give you joy—
+    Yes, joy of his decease:
+
+  An hour shall come, (you question this,)
+    An hour, when you shall bless,
+  Beyond the brightest beams of life,
+    Dark days of your distress.
+
+  Hear then without surprise a truth,
+    A daughter truth to this,
+  Swift turns of fortune often tie
+    A bleeding heart to bliss:
+
+  Esteem you this a paradox?
+    My sacred motto read;
+  A glorious truth! divinely sung
+    By one, whose heart had bled;
+
+  To resignation swift he flew,
+    In her a friend he found,
+  A friend, which bless’d him with a smile
+    When gasping with his wound.
+
+  On earth nought precious is obtain’d
+    But what is painful too;
+  By travel, and to travel born,
+    Our sabbaths are but few:
+
+  To real joy we work our way,
+    Encountering many a shock,
+  Ere found what truly charms; as found
+    A Venus in the block.
+
+  In some disaster, some severe
+    Appointment for our sins,
+  That mother blessing, (not so call’d,)
+    True happiness, begins.
+
+  No martyr e’er defied the flames,
+    By stings of life unvext;
+  First rose some quarrel with this world,
+    Then passion for the next.
+
+  You see, then, pangs are parent pangs,
+    The pangs of happy birth;
+  Pangs, by which only can be born
+    True happiness on earth.
+
+  The peopled earth look all around,
+    Or through time’s records run!
+  And say, what is a man unstruck?
+    It is a man undone.
+
+  This moment, am I deeply stung—
+    My bold pretence is tried;
+  When vain man boasts, heaven puts to proof
+    The vauntings of his pride;
+
+  Now need I, madam! your support.—
+    How exquisite the smart;
+  How critically tim’d the news(50)
+    Which strikes me to the heart!
+
+  The pangs of which I spoke, I feel:
+    If worth like thine is born,
+  O long-belov’d! I bless the blow,
+    And triumph, whilst I mourn.
+
+  Nor mourn I long; by grief subdued,
+    By reason’s empire shown;
+  Deep anguish comes by heaven’s decree,
+    Continues by our own;
+
+  And when continued past its point,
+    Indulg’d in length of time,
+  Grief is disgrac’d, and, what was fate,
+    Corrupts into a crime:
+
+  And shall I, criminally mean,
+    Myself and subject wrong?
+  No; my example shall support
+    The subject of my song.
+
+  Madam! I grant your loss is great;
+    Nor little is your gain?
+  Let that be weigh’d; when weigh’d aright,
+    It richly pays your pain:
+
+  When heaven would kindly set us free,
+    And earth’s enchantment end;
+  It takes the most effectual means,
+    And robs us of a friend.
+
+  But such a friend! and sigh no more?
+    ’Tis prudent; but severe:
+  Heaven aid my weakness, and I drop
+    All sorrow—with this tear.
+
+  Perhaps your settled grief to soothe,
+    I should not vainly strive,
+  But with soft balm your pain assuage,
+    Had he been still alive;
+
+  Whose frequent aid brought kind relief,
+    In my distress of thought,
+  Ting’d with his beams my cloudy page,
+    And beautified a fault:
+
+  To touch our passions’ secret springs
+    Was his peculiar care;
+  And deep his happy genius div’d
+    In bosoms of the fair;
+
+  Nature, which favours to the few,
+    All art beyond, imparts,
+  To him presented, at his birth,
+    The key of human hearts.
+
+  But not to me by him bequeath’d
+    His gentle, smooth address;
+  His tender hand to touch the wound
+    In throbbing of distress;
+
+  Howe’er, proceed I must, unbless’d
+    With Esculapian art:
+  Know, love sometimes, mistaken love!
+    Plays disaffection’s part:
+
+  Nor lands, nor seas, nor suns, nor stars,
+    Can soul from soul divide;
+  They correspond from distant worlds,
+    Though transports are denied:
+
+  Are you not, then, unkindly kind?
+    Is not your love severe?
+  O! stop that crystal source of woe;
+    Nor wound him with a tear.
+
+  As those above from human bliss
+    Receive increase of joy;
+  May not a stroke from human woe,
+    In part, their peace destroy?
+
+  He lives in those he left;—to what?
+    Your, now, paternal care,
+  Clear from its cloud your brighten’d eye,
+    It will discern him there;
+
+  In features, not of form alone,
+    But those, I trust, of mind;
+  Auspicious to the public weal,
+    And to their fate resign’d.
+
+  Think on the tempests he sustain’d;
+    Revolve his battles won;
+  And let those prophesy your joy
+    From such a father’s son:
+
+  Is consolation what you seek?
+    Fan, then, his martial fire:
+  And animate to flame the sparks
+    Bequeath’d him by his sire:
+
+  As nothing great is born in haste,
+    Wise nature’s time allow;
+  His father’s laurels may descend,
+    And flourish on his brow.
+
+  Nor, madam! be surpris’d to hear
+    That laurels may be due
+  Not more to heroes of the field,
+    (Proud boasters!) than to you:
+
+  Tender as is the female frame,
+    Like that brave man you mourn,
+  You are a soldier, and to fight
+    Superior battles born;
+
+  Beneath a banner nobler far
+    Than ever was unfurl’d
+  In fields of blood; a banner bright!
+    High wav’d o’er all the world.
+
+  It, like a streaming meteor, casts
+    A universal light;
+  Sheds day, sheds more, eternal day
+    On nations whelm’d in night.
+
+  Beneath that banner, what exploit
+    Can mount our glory higher,
+  Than to sustain the dreadful blow,
+    When those we love expire?
+
+  Go forth a moral Amazon;
+    Arm’d with undaunted thought;
+  The battle won, though costing dear,
+    You’ll think it cheaply bought:
+
+  The passive hero, who sits down
+    Unactive, and can smile
+  Beneath affliction’s galling load,
+    Out-acts a Cæsar’s toil:
+
+  The billows stain’d by slaughter’d foes
+    Inferior praise afford;
+  Reason’s a bloodless conqueror,
+    More glorious than the sword.
+
+  Nor can the thunders of huzzas,
+    From shouting nations, cause
+  Such sweet delight, as from your heart
+    Soft whispers of applause:
+
+  The dear deceas’d so fam’d in arms,
+    With what delight he’ll view
+  His triumphs on the main outdone,
+    Thus conquer’d, twice, by you.
+
+  Share his delight; take heed to shun
+    Of bosoms most diseas’d
+  That odd distemper, an absurd
+    Reluctance to be pleas’d:
+
+  Some seem in love with sorrow’s charms,
+    And that foul fiend embrace:
+  This temper let me justly brand,
+    And stamp it with disgrace:
+
+  Sorrow! of horrid parentage!
+    Thou second-born of hell!
+  Against heaven’s endless mercies pour’d
+    How dar’st thou to rebel?
+
+  From black and noxious vapours bred,
+    And nurs’d by want of thought,
+  And to the door of phrensy’s self
+    By perseverance brought,
+
+  Thy most inglorious, coward tears
+    From brutal eyes have ran:
+  Smiles, incommunicable smiles!
+    Are radiant marks of man;
+
+  They cast a sudden glory round
+    Th’ illumin’d human face;
+  And light in sons of honest joy
+    Some beams of Moses’ face:
+
+  Is resignation’s lesson hard?
+    Examine, we shall find
+  That duty gives up little more
+    Than anguish of the mind;
+
+  Resign; and all the load of life
+    That moment you remove,
+  Its heavy tax, ten thousand cares
+    Devolve on one above;
+
+  Who bids us lay our burthen down
+    On his almighty hand,
+  Softens our duty to relief,
+    To blessing a command.
+
+  For joy what cause! how every sense
+    Is courted from above
+  The year around, with presents rich,
+    The growth of endless love!
+
+  But most o’erlook the blessings pour’d,
+    Forget the wonders done,
+  And terminate, wrapp’d up in sense,
+    Their prospect at the sun;
+
+  From that, their final point of view,
+    From that their radiant goal,
+  On travel infinite of thought,
+    Sets out the nobler soul,
+
+  Broke loose from time’s tenacious ties,
+    And earth’s involving gloom,
+  To range at last its vast domain,
+    And talk with worlds to come:
+
+  They let unmark’d, and unemploy’d,
+    Life’s idle moments run;
+  And doing nothing for themselves,
+    Imagine nothing done;
+
+  Fatal mistake! their fate goes on,
+    Their dread account proceeds,
+  And their not doing is set down
+    Amongst their darkest deeds;
+
+  Though man sits still, and takes his ease;
+    God is at work on man;
+  No means, no moment unemployed,
+    To bless him, if he can.
+
+  But man consents not, boldly bent
+    To fashion his own fate;
+  Man, a mere bungler in the trade,
+    Repents his crime too late;
+
+  Hence loud laments: let me thy cause,
+    Indulgent father! plead;
+  Of all the wretches we deplore,
+    Not one by thee was made.
+
+  What is thy whole creation fair?
+    Of love divine the child;
+  Love brought it forth; and, from its birth,
+    Has o’er it fondly smil’d:
+
+  Now, and through periods distant far,
+    Long ere the world began,
+  Heaven is, and has in travail been,
+    Its birth the good of man;
+
+  Man holds in constant service bound
+    The blustering winds and seas;
+  Nor suns disdain to travel hard
+    Their master, man, to please:
+
+  To final good the worst events
+    Through secret channels run;
+  Finish for man their destin’d course,
+    As ’twas for man begun.
+
+  One point (observ’d, perhaps, by few)
+    Has often smote, and smites
+  My mind, as demonstration strong;
+    That heaven in man delights:
+
+  What’s known to man of things unseen,
+    Of future worlds, or fates?
+  So much, nor more, than what to man’s
+    Sublime affairs relates;
+
+  What’s revelation then? a list,
+    An inventory just
+  Of that poor insect’s goods, so late
+    Call’d out of night and dust.
+
+  What various motives to rejoice!
+    To render joy sincere,
+  Has this no weight? our joy is felt
+    Beyond this narrow sphere:
+
+  Would we in heaven new heaven create,
+    And double its delight?
+  A smiling world, when heaven looks down,
+    How pleasing in its sight!
+
+  Angels stoop forward from their thrones
+    To hear its joyful lays;
+  As incense sweet enjoy, and join,
+    Its aromatic praise:
+
+  Have we no cause to fear the stroke
+    Of heaven’s avenging rod,
+  When we presume to counteract
+    A sympathetic God?
+
+  If we resign, our patience makes
+    His rod an armless wand;
+  If not, it darts a serpent’s sting,
+    Like that in Moses’ hand;
+
+  Like that, it swallows up whate’er
+    Earth’s vain magicians bring,
+  Whose baffled arts would boast below
+    Of joys a rival spring.
+
+  Consummate love! the list how large
+    Of blessings from thy hand!
+  To banish sorrow, and be blest,
+    Is thy supreme command.
+
+  Are such commands but ill obey’d?
+    Of bliss, shall we complain?
+  The man, who dares to be a wretch,
+    Deserves still greater pain.
+
+  Joy is our duty, glory, health;
+    The sunshine of the soul;
+  Our best encomium on the power
+    Who sweetly plans the whole:
+
+  Joy is our Eden still possess’d:
+    Begone, ignoble grief!
+  ’Tis joy makes gods, and men exalts,
+    Their nature, our relief;
+
+  Relief, for man to that must stoop,
+    And his due distance know;
+  Transport’s the language of the sides,
+    Content the style below.
+
+  Content is joy, and joy in pain
+    Is joy and virtue too;
+  Thus, whilst good present we possess,
+    More precious we pursue:
+
+  Of joy the more we have in hand,
+    The more have we to come;
+  Joy, like our money, interest bears,
+    Which daily swells the sum.
+
+  "But how to smile; to stem the tide
+    Of nature in our veins;
+  Is it not hard to weep in joy?
+    What then to smile in pains?"
+
+  Victorious joy! which breaks the clouds,
+    And struggles through a storm;
+  Proclaims the mind as great, as good
+    And bids it doubly charm:
+
+  If doubly charming in our sex,
+    A sex, by nature, bold;
+  What then in yours? ’tis diamond there
+    Triumphant o’er our gold.
+
+  And should not this complaint repress,
+    And check the rising sigh?
+  Yet farther opiate to your pain
+    I labour to supply.
+
+  Since spirits greatly damp’d distort
+    Ideas of delight,
+  Look through the medium of a friend,
+    To set your notions right:
+
+  As tears the sight, grief dims the soul;
+    Its object dark appears;
+  True friendship, like a rising sun,
+    The soul’s horizon clears.
+
+  A friend’s an optic to the mind
+    With sorrow clouded o’er;
+  And gives it strength of sight to see
+    Redress unseen before.
+
+  Reason is somewhat rough in man;
+    Extremely smooth and fair,
+  When she, to grace her manly strength,
+    Assumes a female air:
+
+  A friend(51) you have, and I the same,
+    Whose prudent, soft address
+  Will bring to life those healing thoughts
+    Which died in your distress;
+
+  That friend, the spirit of my theme
+    Extracting for your ease,
+  Will leave to me the dreg, in thoughts
+    Too common; such as these:
+
+  Let those lament to whom full bowls
+    Of sparkling joys are given;
+  That triple bane inebriates life,
+    Imbitters death, and hazards heaven:
+
+  Woe to the soul at perfect ease!
+    ’Tis brewing perfect pains;
+  Lull’d reason sleeps, the pulse is king;
+    Despotic body reigns;
+
+  Have you(52) ne’er pitied joy’s gay scenes,
+    And deem’d their glory dark?
+  Alas! poor envy! she’s stone-blind,
+    And quite mistakes her mark:
+
+  Her mark lies hid in sorrow’s shades,
+    But sorrow well subdu’d;
+  And in proud fortune’s frown defied
+    By meek, unborrow’d good.
+
+  By resignation; all in that
+    A double friend may find,
+  A wing to heaven, and, while on earth,
+    The pillow of mankind:
+
+  On pillows void of down, for rest
+    Our restless hopes we place;
+  When hopes of heaven lie warm at heart,
+    Our hearts repose in peace:
+
+  The peace, which resignation yields,
+    Who feel alone can guess;
+  ’Tis disbeliev’d by murmuring minds,
+    They must conclude it less:
+
+  The loss, or gain, of that alone
+    Have we to hope or fear;
+  That fate controls, and can invert
+    The seasons of the year:
+
+  O! the dark days, the year around,
+    Of an impatient mind!
+  Thro’ clouds, and storms, a summer breaks,
+    To shine on the resign’d:
+
+  While man by that of every grace,
+    And virtue, is possess’d;
+  Foul vice her pandæmonium builds
+    In the rebellious breast;
+
+  By resignation we defeat
+    The worst that can annoy;
+  And suffer, with far more repose,
+    Than worldlings can enjoy.
+
+  From small experience this I speak;
+    O! grant to those I love
+  Experience fuller far, ye powers,
+    Who form our fates above!
+
+  My love were due, if not to those
+    Who, leaving grandeur, came
+  To shine on age in mean recess,
+    And light me to my theme!
+
+  A theme themselves! A theme, how rare!
+    The charms, which they display,
+  To triumph over captive heads,
+    Are set in bright array:
+
+  With his own arms proud man’s o’ercome,
+    His boasted laurels die:
+  Learning and genius, wiser grown,
+    To female bosoms fly.
+
+  This revolution, fix’d by fate,
+    In fable was foretold;
+  The dark prediction puzzled wits,
+    Nor could the learn’d unfold:
+
+  But as those ladies’(53) works I read,
+    They darted such a ray,
+  The latent sense burst out at once,
+    And shone in open day:
+
+  So burst, full ripe, distended fruits,
+    When strongly strikes the sun;
+  And from the purple grape unpress’d
+    Spontaneous nectars run.
+
+  Pallas, (’tis said,) when Jove grew dull,
+    Forsook his drowsy brain;
+  And sprightly leap’d into the throne
+    Of wisdom’s brighter reign;
+
+  Her helmet took; that is, shot rays
+    Of formidable wit;
+  And lance,—or, genius most acute,
+    Which lines immortal writ;
+
+  And gorgon shield,—or, power to fright
+    Man’s folly, dreadful shone,
+  And many a blockhead (easy change!)
+    Turn’d, instantly, to stone.
+
+  Our authors male, as, then, did Jove,
+    Now scratch a damag’d head,
+  And call for what once quarter’d there,
+    But find the goddess fled.
+
+  The fruit of knowledge, golden fruit!
+    That once forbidden tree,
+  Hedg’d-in by surly man, is now
+    To Britain’s daughters free:
+
+  In Eve (we know) of fruit so fair
+    The noble thirst began;
+  And they, like her, have caus’d a fall,
+    A fall of fame in man:
+
+  And since of genius in our sex,
+    O Addison! with thee
+  The sun is set; how I rejoice
+    This sister lamp to see!
+
+  It sheds, like Cynthia, silver beams
+    On man’s nocturnal state;
+  His lessen’d light, and languid powers,
+    I show, whilst I relate.
+
+
+
+
+                                 Part II.
+
+
+  But what in either sex, beyond
+    All parts, our glory crowns?
+  "In ruffling seasons to be calm,
+    And smile, when fortune frowns."
+
+  Heaven’s choice is safer than our own;
+    Of ages past inquire,
+  What the most formidable fate?
+    "To have our own desire."
+
+  If, in your wrath, the worst of foes
+    You wish extremely ill;
+  Expose him to the thunder’s stroke,
+    Or that of his own will.
+
+  What numbers, rushing down the steep
+    Of inclination strong,
+  Have perish’d in their ardent wish!
+    Wish ardent, ever wrong!
+
+  ’Tis resignation’s full reverse,
+    Most wrong, as it implies
+  Error most fatal in our choice,
+    Detachment from the skies.
+
+  By closing with the skies, we make
+    Omnipotence our own;
+  That done, how formidable ill’s
+    Whole army is o’erthrown!
+
+  No longer impotent, and frail,
+    Ourselves above we rise:
+  We scarce believe ourselves below!
+    We trespass on the skies!
+
+  The Lord, the soul, and source of all,
+    Whilst man enjoys his ease,
+  Is executing human will,
+    In earth, and air, and seas;
+
+  Beyond us, what can angels boast?
+    Archangels what require?
+  Whate’er below, above, is done,
+    Is done as——we desire.
+
+  What glory this for man so mean,
+    Whose life is but a span!
+  This is meridian majesty!
+    This, the sublime of man!
+
+  Beyond the boast of pagan song
+    My sacred subject shines!
+  And for a foil the lustre takes
+    Of Rome’s exalted lines.
+
+  "All, that the sun surveys, subdued,
+    But Cato’s mighty mind."
+  How grand! most true; yet far beneath
+    The soul of the resign’d:
+
+  To more than kingdoms, more than worlds,
+    To passion that gives law;
+  Its matchless empire could have kept
+    Great Cato’s pride in awe;
+
+  That fatal pride, whose cruel point
+    Transfix’d his noble breast;
+  Far nobler! if his fate sustain’d
+    And left to heaven the rest;
+
+  Then he the palm had borne away,
+    At distance Cæsar thrown;
+  Put him off cheaply with the world,
+    And made the skies his own.
+
+  What cannot resignation do?
+    It wonders can perform;
+  That powerful charm, "Thy will be done,"
+    Can lay the loudest storm.
+
+  Come, resignation! then, from fields,
+    Where, mounted on the wing,
+  A wing of flame, blest martyrs’ souls
+    Ascended to their king.
+
+  Who is it calls thee? one whose need
+    Transcends the common size;
+  Who stands in front against a foe
+    To which no equal rise:
+
+  In front he stands, the brink he treads
+    Of an eternal state;
+  How dreadful his appointed post!
+    How strongly arm’d by fate:
+
+  His threatening foe! what shadows deep
+    O’erwhelm his gloomy brow!
+  His dart tremendous!——at fourscore
+    My sole asylum, thou!
+
+  Haste, then, O resignation! haste,
+    ’Tis thine to reconcile
+  My foe, and me; at thy approach
+    My foe begins to smile:
+
+  O! for that summit of my wish,
+    Whilst here I draw my breath,
+  That promise of eternal life,
+    A glorious smile in death:
+
+  What sight, heaven’s azure arch beneath,
+    Has most of heaven to boast?
+  The man resign’d; at once serene,
+    And giving up the ghost.
+
+  At death’s arrival they shall smile,
+    Who, not in life o’er gay,
+  Serious and frequent thought send out
+    To meet him on his way:
+
+  My gay coevals! (such there are)
+    If happiness is dear;
+  Approaching death’s alarming day
+    Discreetly let us fear:
+
+  The fear of death is truly wise,
+    Till wisdom can rise higher;
+  And, arm’d with pious fortitude,
+    Death dreaded once, desire:
+
+  Grand climacteric vanities
+    The vainest will despise;
+  Shock’d, when beneath the snow of age
+    Man immaturely dies:
+
+  But am not I myself the man?
+    No need abroad to roam
+  In quest of faults to be chastis’d;
+    What cause to blush at home?
+
+  In life’s decline, when men relapse
+    Into the sports of youth,
+  The second child out-fools the first,
+    And tempts the lash of truth;
+
+  Shall a mere truant from the grave
+    With rival boys engage?
+  His trembling voice attempt to sing,
+    And ape the poet’s rage?
+
+  Here, madam! let me visit one,
+    My fault who, partly, shares,
+  And tell myself, by telling him,
+    What more becomes our years;
+
+  And if your breast with prudent zeal
+    For resignation glows,
+  You will not disapprove a just
+    Resentment at its foes.
+
+  In youth, Voltaire! our foibles plead
+    For some indulgence due;
+  When heads are white, their thoughts and aims
+    Should change their colour too:
+
+  How are you cheated by your wit!
+    Old age is bound to pay,
+  By nature’s law, a mind discreet,
+    For joys it takes away;
+
+  A mighty change is wrought by years,
+    Reversing human lot;
+  In age ’tis honour to lie hid,
+    ’Tis praise to be forgot;
+
+  The wise, as flowers, which spread at noon,
+    And all their charms expose,
+  When evening damps and shades descend,
+    Their evolutions close.
+
+  What though your muse has nobly soar’d,
+    Is that our truth sublime?
+  Ours, hoary friend! is to prefer
+    Eternity to time:
+
+  Why close a life so justly fam’d
+    With such bold trash as this?(54)
+  This for renown? yes, such as makes
+    Obscurity a bliss:
+
+  Your trash, with mine, at open war,
+    Is obstinately bent,(55)
+  Like wits below, to sow your tares
+    Of gloom and discontent:
+
+  With so much sunshine at command,
+    Why light with darkness mix?
+  Why dash with pain our pleasure?
+    Your Helicon with Styx?
+
+  Your works in our divided minds
+    Repugnant passions raise,
+  Confound us with a double stroke,
+    We shudder whilst we praise;
+
+  A curious web, as finely wrought
+    As genius can inspire,
+  From a black bag of poison spun,
+    With horror we admire.
+
+  Mean as it is, if this is read
+    With a disdainful air,
+  I can’t forgive so great a foe
+    To my dear friend Voltaire:
+
+  Early I knew him, early prais’d,
+    And long to praise him late;
+  His genius greatly I admire,
+    Nor would deplore his fate;
+
+  A fate how much to be deplor’d!
+    At which our nature starts;
+  Forbear to fall on your own sword.
+    To perish by your parts:
+
+  "But great your name"—To feed on air,
+    Were then immortals born?
+  Nothing is great, of which more great,
+    More glorious is the scorn.
+
+  Can fame your carcass from the worm
+    Which gnaws us in the grave,
+  Or soul from that which never dies,
+    Applauding Europe save?
+
+  But fame you lose; good sense alone
+    Your idol, praise, can claim;
+  When wild wit murders happiness,
+    It puts to death our fame!
+
+  Nor boast your genius, talents bright;
+    E’en dunces will despise,
+  If in your western beams is miss’d
+    A genius for the skies;
+
+  Your taste too fails; what most excels
+    True taste must relish most!
+  And what, to rival palms above,
+    Can proudest laurels boast?
+
+  Sound heads salvation’s helmet seek,(56)
+    Resplendent are its rays,
+  Let that suffice; it needs no plume,
+    Of sublunary praise.
+
+  May this enable couch’d Voltaire
+    To see that—"All is right,"(57)
+  His eye, by flash of wit struck blind,
+    Restoring to its sight;
+
+  If so, all’s well: who much have err’d,
+    That much have been forgiven;
+  I speak with joy, with joy he’ll hear,
+    "Voltaires are, now, in heaven."
+
+  Nay, such philanthropy divine,
+    So boundless in degree,
+  Its marvellous of love extends
+    (Stoops most profound!) to me:
+
+  Let others cruel stars arraign,
+    Or dwell on their distress;
+  But let my page, for mercies pour’d,
+    A grateful heart express:
+
+  Walking, the present God was seen,
+    Of old, in Eden fair;
+  The God as present, by plain steps
+    Of providential care,
+
+  I behold passing through my life;
+    His awful voice I hear;
+  And, conscious of my nakedness,
+    Would hide myself for fear:
+
+  But where the trees, or where the clouds,
+    Can cover from his sight?
+  Naked the centre to that eye,
+    To which the sun is night.
+
+  As yonder glittering lamps on high
+    Through night illumin’d roll;
+  My thoughts of him, by whom they shine,
+    Chase darkness from my soul;
+
+  My soul, which reads his hand as clear
+    In my minute affairs,
+  As in his ample manuscript
+    Of sun, and moon, and stars;
+
+  And knows him not more bent aright
+    To wield that vast machine,
+  Than to correct one erring thought
+    In my small world within;
+
+  A world, that shall survive the fall
+    Of all his wonders here;
+  Survive, when suns ten thousand drop,
+    And leave a darken’d sphere.
+
+  Yon matter gross, how bright it shines!
+    For time how great his care!
+  Sure spirit and eternity
+    Far richer glories share;
+
+  Let those our hearts impress, on those
+    Our contemplation dwell;
+  On those my thoughts how justly thrown,
+    By what I now shall tell:
+
+  When backward with attentive mind
+    Life’s labyrinth I trace,
+  I find him far myself beyond
+    Propitious to my peace:
+
+  Through all the crooked paths I trod,
+    My folly he pursued;
+  My heart astray to quick return
+    Importunately woo’d;
+
+  Due resignation home to press
+    On my capricious will,
+  How many rescues did I meet,
+    Beneath the mask of ill!
+
+  How many foes in ambush laid
+    Beneath my soul’s desire!
+  The deepest penitents are made
+    By what we most admire.
+
+  Have I not sometimes (real good
+    So little mortals know!)
+  Mounting the summit of my wish,
+    Profoundly plung’d in woe?
+
+  I rarely plann’d, but cause I found
+    My plan’s defeat to bless:
+  Oft I lamented an event;
+    It turn’d to my success.
+
+  By sharpen’d appetite to give
+    To good intense delight,
+  Through dark and deep perplexities
+    He led me to the right.
+
+  And is not this the gloomy path,
+    Which you are treading now?
+  The path most gloomy leads to light,
+    When our proud passions bow:
+
+  When labouring under fancied ill,
+    My spirits to sustain,
+  He kindly cur’d with sovereign draughts
+    Of unimagin’d pain.
+
+  Pain’d sense from fancied tyranny
+    Alone can set us free;
+  A thousand miseries we feel,
+    Till sunk in misery.
+
+  Cloy’d with a glut of all we wish,
+    Our wish we relish less;
+  Success, a sort of suicide,
+    Is ruin’d by success:
+
+  Sometimes he led me near to death,
+    And, pointing to the grave,
+  Bid terror whisper kind advice;
+    And taught the tomb to save:
+
+  To raise my thoughts beyond where worlds
+    As spangles o’er us shine,
+  One day he gave, and bid the next
+    My soul’s delight resign.
+
+  We to ourselves, but through the means
+    Of mirrors, are unknown;
+  In this my fate can you descry
+    No features of your own?
+
+  And if you can, let that excuse
+    These self-recording lines;
+  A record, modesty forbids,
+    Or to small bound confines:
+
+  In grief why deep ingulf’d? You see
+    You suffer nothing rare;
+  Uncommon grief for common fate!
+    That wisdom cannot bear.
+
+  When streams flow backward to their source,
+    And humbled flames descend,
+  And mountains wing’d shall fly aloft,
+    Then human sorrows end;
+
+  But human prudence too must cease,
+    When sorrows domineer,
+  When fortitude has lost its fire,
+    And freezes into fear:
+
+  The pang most poignant of my life
+    Now heightens my delight;
+  I see a fair creation rise
+    From chaos, and old night:
+
+  From what seem’d horror, and despair,
+    The richest harvest rose;
+  And gave me in the nod divine
+    An absolute repose.
+
+  Of all the plunders of mankind,
+    More gross, or frequent, none,
+  Than in their grief and joy misplac’d,
+    Eternally are shown.
+
+  But whither points all this parade?
+    It says, that near you lies
+  A book, perhaps yet unperus’d,
+    Which you should greatly prize:
+
+  Of self-perusal, science rare!
+    Few know the mighty gain;
+  Learn’d prelates, self-unread, may read
+    Their Bibles o’er in vain:
+
+  Self-knowledge, which from heaven itself
+    (So sages tell us) came,
+  What is it, but a daughter fair
+    Of my maternal theme?
+
+  Unletter’d and untravel’d men
+    An oracle might find,
+  Would they consult their own contents,
+    The Delphos of the mind.
+
+  Enter your bosom; there you’ll meet
+    A revelation new,
+  A revelation personal;
+    Which none can read but you.
+
+  There will you clearly read reveal’d
+    In your enlighten’d thought,
+  By mercies manifold, through life,
+    To fresh remembrance brought,
+
+  A mighty Being! and in him
+    A complicated friend,
+  A father, brother, spouse; no dread
+    Of death, divorce, or end:
+
+  Who such a matchless friend embrace,
+    And lodge him in their heart,
+  Full well, from agonies exempt,
+    With other friends may part:
+
+  As when o’erloaded branches bear
+    Large clusters big with wine,
+  We scarce regret one falling leaf
+    From the luxuriant vine.
+
+  My short advice to you may sound
+    Obscure or somewhat odd,
+  Though ’tis the best that man can give,—
+    "E’en be content with God."
+
+  Through love he gave you the deceas’d,
+    Through greater took him hence;
+  This reason fully could evince,
+    Though murmur’d at by sense.
+
+  This friend, far past the kindest kind,
+    Is past the greatest great;
+  His greatness let me touch in points
+    Not foreign to your state;
+
+  His eye, this instant, reads your heart;
+    A truth less obvious hear;
+  This instant its most secret thoughts
+    Are sounding in his ear:
+
+  Dispute you this? O! stand in awe,
+    And cease your sorrow; know,
+  That tears now trickling down, he saw
+    Ten thousand years ago;
+
+  And twice ten thousand hence, if you
+    Your temper reconcile
+  To reason’s bound, will he behold
+    Your prudence with a smile;
+
+  A smile, which through eternity
+    Diffuses so bright rays,
+  The dimmest deifies e’en guilt,
+    If guilt, at last, obeys:
+
+  Your guilt (for guilt it is to mourn
+    When such a sovereign reigns),
+  Your guilt diminish; peace pursue;
+    How glorious peace in pains!
+
+  Here, then, your sorrows cease; if not,
+    Think how unhappy they,
+  Who guilt increase by streaming tears,
+    Which guilt should wash away;
+
+  Of tears that gush profuse restrain;
+    Whence burst those dismal sighs?
+  They from the throbbing breast of one
+    (Strange truth!) most happy rise;
+
+  Not angels (hear it, and exult!)
+    Enjoy a larger share
+  Than is indulg’d to you, and yours,
+    Of God’s impartial care;
+
+  Anxious for each, as if on each
+    His care for all was thrown;
+  For all his care as absolute,
+    As all had been but one.
+
+  And is he then so near! so kind!—
+    How little then, and great,
+  That riddle, man! O! let me gaze
+    At wonders in his fate;
+
+  His fate, who yesterday did crawl
+    A worm from darkness deep,
+  And shall, with brother worms, beneath
+    A turf, to-morrow sleep;
+
+  How mean!—And yet, if well obey’d
+    His mighty Master’s call,
+  The whole creation for mean man
+    Is deem’d a boon too small:
+
+  Too small the whole creation deem’d
+    For emmets in the dust!
+  Account amazing! yet most true;
+    My song is bold, yet just:
+
+  Man born for infinite, in whom
+    Nor period can destroy
+  The power, in exquisite extremes,
+    To suffer, or enjoy;
+
+  Give him earth’s empire (if no more)
+    He’s beggar’d, and undone!
+  Imprison’d in unbounded space!
+    Benighted by the sun!
+
+  For what the sun’s meridian blaze
+    To the most feeble ray
+  Which glimmers from the distant dawn
+    Of uncreated day?
+
+  ’Tis not the poet’s rapture feign’d
+    Swells here the vain to please;
+  The mind most sober kindles most
+    At truths sublime as these;
+
+  They warm e’en me.—I dare not say,
+    Divine ambition strove
+  Not to bless only, but confound,
+    Nay, fright us with its love;
+
+  And yet so frightful what, or kind,
+    As that the rending rock,
+  The darken’d sun, and rising dead,
+    So formidable spoke?
+
+  And are we darker than that sun?
+    Than rocks more hard, and blind?
+  We are;—if not to such a God
+    In agonies resigned.
+
+  Yes, e’en in agonies forbear
+    To doubt almighty love;
+  Whate’er endears eternity,
+    Is mercy from above;
+
+  What most imbitters time, that most
+    Eternity endears,
+  And thus, by plunging in distress,
+    Exalts us to the spheres;
+
+  Joy’s fountain head! where bliss o’er bliss,
+    O’er wonders wonders rise,
+  And an Omnipotence prepares
+    Its banquet for the wise:
+
+  Ambrosial banquet! rich in wines
+    Nectareous to the soul!
+  What transports sparkle from the stream,
+    As angels fill the bowl!
+
+  Fountain profuse of every bliss!
+    Good-will immense prevails;
+  Man’s line can’t fathom its profound
+    An angel’s plummet fails.
+
+  Thy love and might, by what they know,
+    Who judge, nor dream of more;
+  They ask a drop, how deep the sea!
+    One sand, how wide the shore!
+
+  Of thy exuberant good-will,
+    Offended Deity!
+  The thousandth part who comprehends,
+    A deity is he.
+
+  How yonder ample azure field
+    With radiant worlds is sown!
+  How tubes astonish us with those
+    More deep in ether thrown!
+
+  And those beyond of brighter worlds
+    Why not a million more?—
+  In lieu of answer, let us all
+    Fall prostrate, and adore.
+
+  Since thou art infinite in power,
+    Nor thy indulgence less;
+  Since man, quite impotent and blind,
+    Oft drops into distress;
+
+  Say, what is resignation? ’T is
+    Man’s weakness understood;
+  And wisdom grasping, with a hand
+    Far stronger, every good.
+
+  Let rash repiners stand appall’d,
+    In thee who dare not trust;
+  Whose abject souls, like demons dark,
+    Are murmuring in the dust;
+
+  For man to murmur, or repine
+    At what by thee is done,
+  No less absurd, than to complain
+    Of darkness in the sun.
+
+  Who would not, with a heart at ease,
+    Bright eye, unclouded brow,
+  Wisdom and goodness at the helm,
+    The roughest ocean plough?
+
+  What, though I’m swallow’d in the deep?
+    Though mountains o’er me roar?
+  Jehovah reigns! as Jonah safe,
+    I’m landed, and adore:
+
+  Thy will is welcome, let it wear
+    Its most tremendous form;
+  Roar, waves; rage, winds! I know that thou
+    Canst save me by a storm.
+
+  From the immortal spirits born,
+    To thee, their fountain, flow,
+  If wise; as curl’d around to theirs
+    Meandering streams below:
+
+  Not less compell’d by reason’s call,
+    To thee our souls aspire,
+  Than to thy skies, by nature’s law,
+    High mounts material fire;
+
+  To thee aspiring they exult,
+    I feel my spirits rise,
+  I feel myself thy son, and pant
+    For patrimonial skies;
+
+  Since ardent thirst of future good,
+    And generous sense of past,
+  To thee man’s prudence strongly ties,
+    And binds affection fast;
+
+  Since great thy love, and great our want,
+    And men the wisest blind,
+  And bliss our aim; pronounce us all
+    Distracted, or resigned;
+
+  Resign’d through duty, interest, shame;
+    Deep shame! dare I complain,
+  When (wondrous truth!) in heaven itself
+    Joy ow’d its birth to pain?
+
+  And pain for me! for me was drain’d
+    Gall’s overflowing bowl;
+  And shall one drop to murmur bold
+    Provoke my guilty soul?
+
+  If pardon’d this, what cause, what crime
+    Can indignation raise?
+  The sun was lighted up to shine,
+    And man was born to praise;
+
+  And when to praise the man shall cease,
+    Or sun to strike the view;
+  A cloud dishonors both; but man’s
+    The blacker of the two:
+
+  For oh! ingratitude how black!
+    With most profound amaze
+  At love, which man belov’d o’erlooks,
+    Astonish’d angels gaze.
+
+  Praise cheers, and warms, like generous wine;
+    Praise, more divine than prayer;
+  Prayer points our ready path to heaven;
+    Praise is already there.
+
+  Let plausive resignation rise,
+    And banish all complaint;
+  All virtues thronging into one,
+    It finishes the saint;
+
+  Makes the man bless’d, as man can be;
+    Life’s labours renders light;
+  Darts beams through fate’s incumbent gloom,
+    And lights our sun by night;
+
+  ’T is nature’s brightest ornament,
+    The richest gift of grace,
+  Rival of angels, and supreme
+    Proprietor of peace;
+
+  Nay, peace beyond, no small degree
+    Of rapture ’t will impart;
+  Know, madam! when your heart’s in heaven,
+    "All heaven is in your heart."
+
+  But who to heaven their hearts can raise?
+    Denied divine support,
+  All virtue dies; support divine
+    The wise with ardour court:
+
+  When prayer partakes the seraph’s fire,
+    ’T is mounted on his wing,
+  Bursts thro’ heaven’s crystal gates, and
+    Sure audience of its king:
+
+  The labouring soul from sore distress
+    That bless’d expedient frees;
+  I see you far advanc’d in peace;
+    I see you on your knees:
+
+  How on that posture has the beam
+    Divine for ever shone!
+  An humble heart, God’s other seat!(58)
+    The rival of his throne:
+
+  And stoops Omnipotence so low!
+    And condescends to dwell,
+  Eternity’s inhabitant,
+    Well pleas’d, in such a cell?
+
+  Such honour how shall we repay?
+    How treat our guest divine?
+  The sacrifice supreme be slain!
+    Let self-will die: resign.
+
+  Thus far, at large, on our disease;
+    Now let the cause be shown,
+  Whence rises, and will ever rise,
+    The dismal human groan:
+
+  What our sole fountain of distress?
+    Strong passion for this scene;
+  That trifles make important, things
+    Of mighty moment mean:
+
+  When earth’s dark maxims poison shed
+    On our polluted souls,
+  Our hearts and interests fly as far
+    Asunder, as the poles.
+
+  Like princes in a cottage nurs’d,
+    Unknown their royal race,
+  With abject aims, and sordid joys,
+    Our grandeur we disgrace;
+
+  O! for an Archimedes new,
+    Of moral powers possess’d,
+  The world to move, and quite expel
+    That traitor from the breast.
+
+  No small advantage may be reap’d
+    From thought whence we descend;
+  From weighing well, and prizing weigh’d
+    Our origin, and end:
+
+  From far above the glorious sun
+    To this dim scene we came:
+  And may, if wise, for ever bask
+    In great Jehovah’s beam:
+
+  Let that bright beam on reason rous’d
+    In awful lustre rise,
+  Earth’s giant ills are dwarf’d at once,
+    And all disquiet dies.
+
+  Earth’s glories too their splendour lose,
+    Those phantoms charm no more;
+  Empire’s a feather for a fool,
+    And Indian mines are poor:
+
+  Then levell’d quite, whilst yet alive,
+    The monarch and his slave;
+  Not wait enlighten’d minds to learn
+    That lesson from the grave:
+
+  A George the Third would then be low
+    As Lewis in renown,
+  Could he not boast of glory more
+    Than sparkles from a crown.
+
+  When human glory rises high
+    As human glory can;
+  When, though the king is truly great,
+    Still greater is the man;
+
+  The man is dead, where virtue fails;
+    And though the monarch proud
+  In grandeur shines, his gorgeous robe
+    Is but a gaudy shroud.
+
+  Wisdom! where art thou? None on earth,
+    Though grasping wealth, fame, power,
+  But what, O death! through thy approach,
+    Is wiser every hour;
+
+  Approach how swift, how unconfin’d!
+    Worms feast on viands rare,
+  Those little epicures have kings
+    To grace their bill of fare:
+
+  From kings what resignation due
+    To that almighty will,
+  Which thrones bestows, and, when they fail,
+    Can throne them higher still!
+
+  Who truly great? The good and brave,
+    The masters of a mind
+  The will divine to do resolv’d,
+    To suffer it resign’d.
+
+  Madam! if that may give it weight,
+    The trifle you receive
+  Is dated from a solemn scene,
+    The border of the grave;
+
+  Where strongly strikes the trembling soul
+    Eternity’s dread power,
+  As bursting on it through the thin
+    Partition of an hour;
+
+  Hear this, Voltaire! but this, from me,
+    Runs hazard of your frown;
+  However, spare it; ere you die,
+    Such thoughts will be your own.
+
+  In mercy to yourself forbear
+    My notions to chastise,
+  Lest unawares the gay Voltaire
+    Should blame Voltaire the wise:
+
+  Fame’s trumpet rattling in your ear,
+    Now, makes us disagree;
+  When a far louder trumpet sounds,
+    Voltaire will close with me:
+
+  How shocking is that modesty,
+    Which keeps some honest men
+  From urging what their hearts suggest,
+    When brav’d by folly’s pen.
+
+  Assaulting truths, of which in all
+    Is sown the sacred seed!
+  Our constitution’s orthodox,
+    And closes with our creed:
+
+  What then are they, whose proud conceits
+    Superior wisdom boast?
+  Wretches, who fight their own belief,
+    And labour to be lost!
+
+  Though vice by no superior joys
+    Her heroes keeps in pay;
+  Through pure disinterested love
+    Of ruin they obey!
+
+  Strict their devotion to the wrong,
+    Though tempted by no prize;
+  Hard their commandments, and their creed
+    A magazine of lies
+
+  From fancy’s forge: gay fancy smiles
+    At reason plain, and cool;
+  Fancy, whose curious trade it is
+    To make the finest fool.
+
+  Voltaire! long life’s the greatest curse
+    That mortals can receive,
+  When they imagine the chief end
+    Of living is to live;
+
+  Quite thoughtless of their day of death,
+    That birthday of their sorrow!
+  Knowing, it may be distant far,
+    Nor crush them till—to-morrow.
+
+  These are cold, northern thoughts, conceiv’d
+    Beneath an humble cot;
+  Not mine, your genius, or your state,
+    No castle is my lot:(59)
+
+  But soon, quite level shall we lie;
+    And, what pride most bemoans,
+  Our parts, in rank so distant now,
+    As level as our bones;
+
+  Hear you that sound? Alarming sound!
+    Prepare to meet your fate!
+  One, who writes finis to our works,
+    Is knocking at the gate;
+
+  Far other works will soon be weigh’d;
+    Far other judges sit;
+  Far other crowns be lost or won,
+    Than fire ambitious wit:
+
+  Their wit far brightest will be prov’d,
+    Who sunk it in good sense;
+  And veneration most profound
+    Of dread omnipotence.
+
+  ’Tis that alone unlocks the gate
+    Of blest eternity;
+  O! mayst thou never, never lose
+    That more than golden key!(60)
+
+  Whate’er may seem too rough excuse,
+    Your good I have at heart:
+  Since from my soul I wish you well;
+    As yet we must not part:
+
+  Shall you, and I, in love with life,
+    Life’s future schemes contrive,
+  The world in wonder not unjust,
+    That we are still alive?
+
+  What have we left? How mean in man
+    A shadow’s shade to crave!
+  When life, so vain! is vainer still,
+    ’Tis time to take your leave:
+
+  Happier, than happiest life, is death,
+    Who, falling in the field
+  Of conflict with his rebel will,
+    Writes vici, on his shield;
+
+  So falling man, immortal heir
+    Of an eternal prize;
+  Undaunted at the gloomy grave,
+    Descends into the skies.
+
+  O! how disorder’d our machine,
+    When contradictions mix!
+  When nature strikes no less than twelve,
+    And folly points at six!
+
+  To mend the moments of your heart,
+    How great is my delight
+  Gently to wind your morals up,
+    And set your hand aright!
+
+  That hand, which spread your wisdom wide
+    To poison distant lands:
+  Repent, recant; the tainted age
+    Your antidote demands;
+
+  To Satan dreadfully resign’d,
+    Whole herds rush down the steep
+  Of folly, by lewd wits possess’d,
+    And perish in the deep.
+
+  Men’s praise your vanity pursues;
+    ’Tis well, pursue it still;
+  But let it be of men deceas’d,
+    And you’ll resign the will;
+
+  And how superior they to those
+    At whose applause you aim;
+  How very far superior they
+    In number, and in name!
+
+
+
+
+                               Postscript.
+
+
+  Thus have I written, when to write
+    No mortal should presume;
+  Or only write, what none can blame,
+    Hic jacet—for his tomb:
+
+  The public frowns, and censures loud
+    My puerile employ;
+  Though just the censure, if you smile,
+    The scandal I enjoy;
+
+  But sing no more—no more I sing
+    Or reassume the lyre,
+  Unless vouchsaf’d an humble part
+    Where Raphael leads the choir:
+
+  What myriads swell the concert loud!
+    Their golden harps resound
+  High as the footstool of the throne,
+    And deep as hell profound:
+
+  Hell (horrid contrast!) chord and song
+    Of raptur’d angels drowns
+  In self-will’s peal of blasphemies,
+    And hideous burst of groans;
+
+  But drowns them not to me; I hear
+    Harmonious thunders roll
+  (In language low of men to speak)
+    From echoing pole to pole!
+
+  Whilst this grand chorus shakes the skies—
+    "Above, beneath the sun,
+  Through boundless age, by men, by gods,
+    Jehovah’s will be done!"
+
+  ’Tis done in heaven; whence headlong hurl’d
+    Self-will with Satan fell;
+  And must from earth be banish’d too,
+    Or earth’s another hell;
+
+  Madam! self-will inflicts your pains:
+    Self-will’s the deadly foe
+  Which deepens all the dismal shades,
+    And points the shafts of woe:
+
+  Your debt to nature fully paid,
+    Now virtue claims her due:
+  But virtue’s cause I need not plead,
+    ’Tis safe; I write to you:
+
+  You know, that virtue’s basis lies
+    In ever judging right;
+  And wiping error’s clouds away,
+    Which dim the mental sight:
+
+  Why mourn the dead? you wrong the grave,
+    From storm that safe resort;
+  We still are tossing out at sea,
+    Our admiral in port.
+
+  Was death denied, this world, a scene
+    How dismal and forlorn!
+  To death we owe, that ’tis to man
+    A blessing to be born;
+
+  When every other blessing fails,
+    Or sapp’d by slow decay,
+  Or, storm’d by sudden blasts of fate,
+    Is swiftly whirl’d away;
+
+  How happy! that no storm, or time,
+    Of death can rob the just!
+  None pluck from their unaching heads
+    Soft pillows in the dust!
+
+  Well pleas’d to bear heaven’s darkest frown,
+    Your utmost power employ;
+  ’Tis noble chemistry to turn
+    Necessity to joy.
+
+  Whate’er the colour of my fate,
+    My fate shall be my choice:
+  Determin’d am I, whilst I breathe,
+    To praise and to rejoice;
+
+  What ample cause! triumphant hope!
+    O rich eternity!
+  I start not at a world in flames,
+    Charm’d with one glimpse of thee:
+
+  And thou! its great inhabitant!
+    How glorious dost thou shine!
+  And dart through sorrow, danger, death,
+    A beam of joy divine!
+
+  The void of joy (with some concern
+    The truth severe I tell)
+  Is an impenitent in guilt,
+    A fool or infidel!
+
+  Weigh this, ye pupils of Voltaire!
+    From joyless murmur free;
+  Or, let us know, which character
+    Shall crown you of the three.
+
+  Resign, resign: this lesson none
+    Too deeply can instill;
+  A crown has been resign’d by more,
+    Than have resign’d the will;
+
+  Though will resign’d the meanest makes
+    Superior in renown,
+  And richer in celestial eyes,
+    Than he who wears a crown;
+
+  Hence, in the bosom cold of age,
+    It kindled a strange aim
+  To shine in song; and bid me boast
+    The grandeur of my theme:
+
+  But oh! how far presumption falls
+    Its lofty theme below!
+  Our thoughts in life’s December freeze,
+    And numbers cease to flow.
+
+  First! greatest! best! grant what I wrote
+    For others, ne’er may rise
+  To brand the writer! thou alone
+    Canst make our wisdom wise;
+
+  And how unwise! how deep in guilt!
+    How infamous the fault!
+  "A teacher thron’d in pomp of words,
+    Indeed, beneath the taught!"
+
+  Means most infallible to make
+    The world an infidel;
+  And, with instructions most divine,
+    To pave a path to hell;
+
+  O! for a clean and ardent heart,
+    O! for a soul on fire,
+  Thy praise, begun on earth, to sound
+    Where angels string the lyre;
+
+  How cold is man! to him how hard
+    (Hard, what most easy seems)
+  "To set a just esteem on that,
+    Which yet he—most esteems!"
+
+  What shall we say, when boundless bliss
+    Is offer’d to mankind,
+  And to that offer when a race
+    Of rationals is blind?
+
+  Of human nature ne’er too high
+    Are our ideas wrought;
+  Of human merit ne’er too low
+    Depress’d the daring thought.

+
+   ON THE LATE QUEEN’S DEATH, AND HIS MAJESTY’S ACCESSION TO THE THRONE
+
+
+  Inscribed to Joseph Addison, Esq. Secretary to Their Excellencies the
+                             Lords Justices.
+
+
+      Gaudia curis.
+
+                                                                 —HOR.
+
+
+  Sir, I have long, and with impatience, sought
+  To ease the fulness of my grateful thought,
+  My fame at once, and duty to pursue,
+  And please the public, by respect to you.
+    Though you, long since beyond Britannia known,
+  Have spread your country’s glory with your own;
+  To me you never did more lovely shine,
+  Than when so late the kindled wrath divine
+  Quench’d our ambition, in great Anna’s fate,
+  And darken’d all the pomp of human state.
+  Though you are rich in fame, and fame decay,
+  Though rais’d in life, and greatness fade away,
+  Your lustre brightens: virtue cuts the gloom
+  With purer rays, and sparkles near a tomb.
+    Know, sir, the great esteem and honour due,
+  I chose that moment to profess to you,
+  When sadness reign’d, when fortune, so severe,
+  Had warm’d our bosoms to be most sincere.
+  And when no motives could have force to raise
+  A serious value, and provoke my praise,
+  But such as rise above, and far transcend,
+  Whatever glories with this world shall end,
+  Then shining forth, when deepest shades shall blot
+  The sun’s bright orb, and Cato be forgot.
+  I sing—but ah! my theme I need not tell,
+  See every eye with conscious sorrow swell:
+  Who now to verse would raise his humble voice,
+  Can only show his duty, not his choice.
+  How great the weight of grief our hearts sustain!
+  We languish, and to speak is to complain.
+    Let us look back, (for who too oft can view
+  That most illustrious scene, for ever new!)
+  See all the seasons shine on Anna’s throne,
+  And pay a constant tribute, not their own.
+  Her summer’s heats nor fruits alone bestow,
+  They reap the harvest, and subdue the foe;
+  And when black storms confess the distant sun,
+  Her winters wear the wreaths her summers won.
+  Revolving pleasures in their turns appear,
+  And triumphs are the product of the year.
+  To crown the whole, great joys in greater cease,
+  And glorious victory is lost in peace.
+    Whence this profusion on our favour’d isle?
+  Did partial fortune on our virtue smile?
+  Or did the sceptre, in great Anna’s hand,
+  Stretch forth this rich indulgence o’er our land?
+  Ungrateful Britain! quit thy groundless claim,
+  Thy queen and thy good fortune are the same.
+    Hear, with alarms our trumpets fill the sky;
+  ’Tis Anna reigns! the Gallic squadrons fly.
+  We spread our canvass to the southern shore;
+  ’Tis Anna reigns! the south resigns her store.
+  Her virtue smooths the tumult of the main,
+  And swells the field with mountains of the slain
+  Argyll and Churchill but the glory share,
+  While millions lie subdu’d by Anna’s prayer.
+    How great her zeal! how fervent her desire!
+  How did her soul in holy warmth expire!
+  Constant devotion did her time divide,
+  Not set returns of pleasure or of pride.
+  Not want of rest, or the sun’s parting ray,
+  But finish’d duty, limited the day.
+  How sweet succeeding sleep! what lovely themes
+  Smil’d in her thoughts, and soften’d all her dreams!
+  Her royal couch descending angels spread,
+  And join’d their wings a shelter o’er her head.
+    Though Europe’s wealth and glory claim’d a part,
+  Religion’s cause reign’d mistress of her heart:
+  She saw, and griev’d to see, the mean estate
+  Of those who round the hallow’d altar wait;
+  She shed her bounty, piously profuse,
+  And thought it more her own in sacred use.
+    Thus on his furrow see the tiller stand,
+  And fill with genial seed his lavish hand;
+  He trusts the kindness of the fruitful plain,
+  And providently scatters all his grain.
+    What strikes my sight? does proud Augusta rise
+  New to behold, and awfully surprise!
+  Her lofty brow more numerous turrets crown,
+  And sacred domes on palaces look down:
+  A noble pride of piety is shown,
+  And temples cast a lustre on the throne.
+  How would this work another’s glory raise!
+  But Anna’s greatness robs her of the praise.
+  Drown’d in a brighter blaze it disappears,
+  Who dried the widow’s and the orphan’s tears?
+  Who stoop’d from high to succour the distrest
+  And reconcile the wounded heart to rest?
+  Great in her goodness, well could we perceive,
+  Whoever sought, it was a queen that gave.
+  Misfortune lost her name, her guiltless frown
+  But made another debtor to the crown;
+  And each unfriendly stroke from fate we bore,
+  Became our title to the regal store.
+    Thus injur’d trees adopt a foreign shoot,
+  And their wounds blossom with a fairer fruit.
+    Ye numbers, who on your misfortunes thriv’d,
+  When first the dreadful blast of fame arriv’d,
+  Say what a shock, what agonies you felt,
+  How did your souls with tender anguish melt!
+  That grief which living Anna’s love suppress’d,
+  Shook like a tempest every grateful breast,
+  A second fate our sinking fortunes tried!
+  A second time our tender parents died!
+    Heroes returning from the field we crown,
+  And deify the haughty victor’s frown.
+  His splendid wealth too rashly we admire,
+  Catch the disease, and burn with equal fire:
+  Wisely to spend, is the great art of gain;
+  And one reliev’d transcends a million slain.
+  When time shall ask, where once Ramillia lay,
+  Or Danube flow’d that swept whole troops away,
+  One drop of water, that refresh’d the dry,
+  Shall rise a fountain of eternal joy.
+    But ah! to that unknown and distant date
+  Is virtue’s great reward push’d off by fate;
+  Here random shafts in every breast are found,
+  Virtue and merit but provoke the wound.
+  August in native worth and regal state,
+  Anna sate arbitress of Europe’s fate;
+  To distant realms did every accent fly,
+  And nations watch’d each motion of her eye.
+  Silent, nor longer awful to be seen,
+  How small a spot contains the mighty queen!
+  No throng of suppliant princes mark the place,
+  Where Britain’s greatness is compos’d in peace:
+  The broken earth is scarce discern’d to rise,
+  And a stone tells us where the monarch lies.
+    Thus end maturest honours of the crown!
+  This is the last conclusion of renown!
+    So when with idle skill the wanton boy
+  Breathes through his tube; he sees, with eager joy,
+  The trembling bubble, in its rising small;
+  And by degrees expands the glittering ball.
+  But when, to full perfection blown, it flies
+  High in the air, and shines in various dyes,
+  The little monarch, with a falling tear,
+  Sees his world burst at once, and disappear,
+  ’Tis not in sorrow to reverse our doom,
+  No groans unlock th’ inexorable tomb!
+  Why then this fond indulgence of our woe!
+  What fruit can rise, or what advantage flow!
+  Yes, this advantage; from our deep distress
+  We learn how much in George the gods can bless
+  Had a less glorious princess left the throne,
+  But half the hero had at first been shown:
+  An Anna falling all the king employs,
+  To vindicate from guilt our rising joys:
+  Our joys arise and innocently shine,
+  Auspicious monarch! what a praise is thine!
+    Welcome, great stranger, to Britannia’s throne!
+  Nor let thy country think thee all her own.
+  Of thy delay how oft did we complain!
+  Our hopes reach’d out, and met thee on the main.
+  With prayer we smooth the billows for thy fleet;
+  With ardent wishes fill thy swelling sheet;
+  And when thy foot took place on Albion’s shore,
+  We bending bless’d the gods, and ask’d no more.
+  What hand but thine should conquer and compose,
+  Join those whom interest joins, and chase our foes?
+  Repel the daring youth’s presumptuous aim,
+  And by his rival’s greatness give him fame?
+  Now in some foreign court he may sit down,
+  And quit without a blush the British crown.
+  Secure his honour, though he lose his store,
+  And take a lucky moment to be poor.
+    Nor think, great sir, now first, at this late hour,
+  In Britain’s favour, you exert your power;
+  To us, far back in time, I joy to trace
+  The numerous tokens of your princely grace.
+  Whether you chose to thunder on the Rhine,
+  Inspire grave councils, or in courts to shine;
+  In the more scenes your genius was display’d,
+  The greater debt was on Britannia laid:
+  They all conspir’d this mighty man to raise,
+  And your new subjects proudly share the praise.
+    All share; but may not we have leave to boast
+  That we contemplate, and enjoy it most?
+  This ancient nurse of arts, indulged by fate
+  On gentle Isis’ bank, a calm retreat;
+  For many roiling ages justly fam’d,
+  Has through the world her loyalty proclaim’d;
+  And often pour’d (too well the truth is known!)
+  Her blood and treasure to support the throne!
+  For England’s church her latest accents strain’d;
+  And freedom with his dying hand retain’d.
+  No wonder then her various ranks agree
+  In all the fervencies of zeal for thee.
+    What though thy birth a distant kingdom boast,
+  And seas divide thee from the British coast?
+  The crown’s impatient to enclose thy head:
+  Why stay thy feet? the cloth of gold is spread.
+  Our strict obedience through the world shall tell
+  That king’s a Briton, who can govern well!
+
+
+
+
+
+                             THE INSTALMENT.
+
+
+ To the Right Hon. Sir Robert Walpole, Knight of the Most Noble Order of
+                               the Garter.
+
+
+      Quæsitam meritis.
+
+                                                                 —HOR.
+
+
+  With invocations some their breasts inflame;
+  I need no muse, a Walpole is my theme.
+  Ye mighty dead, ye garter’d sons of praise!
+  Our morning stars! our boast in former days!
+  Which hovering o’er, your purple wings display,
+  Lur’d by the pomp of this distinguish’d day,
+  Stoop, and attend: by one, the knee be bound;
+  One, throw the mantle’s crimson folds around;
+  By that, the sword on his proud thigh be plac’d;
+  This, clasp the diamond girdle round his waist;
+  His breast, with rays, let just Godolphin spread;
+  Wise Burleigh plant the plumage on his head;
+  And Edward own, since first he fix’d the race,
+  None press’d fair glory with a swifter pace.
+    When fate would call some mighty genius forth
+  To wake a drooping age to godlike worth,
+  Or aid some favourite king’s illustrious toil,
+  It bids his blood with generous ardour boil;
+  His blood, from virtue’s celebrated source,
+  Pour’d down the steep of time, a lengthen’d course;
+  That men prepar’d may just attention pay,
+  Warn’d by the dawn to mark the glorious day,
+  When all the scatter’d merits of his line
+  Collected to a point, intensely shine.
+  See, Britain, see thy Walpole shine from far,
+  His azure ribbon, and his radiant star;
+  A star that, with auspicious beams, shall guide
+  Thy vessel safe, through fortune’s roughest tide.
+    If peace still smiles, by this shall commerce steer
+  A finish’d course, in triumph round the sphere;
+  And, gathering tribute from each distant shore,
+  In Britain’s lap the world’s abundance pour.
+    If war’s ordain’d, this star shall dart its beams
+  Through that black cloud which, rising from the Thames,
+  With thunder, form’d of Brunswick’s wrath, is sent
+  To claim the seas, and awe the continent.
+  This shall direct it where the bolt to throw,
+  A star for us, a comet to the foe.
+    At this the muse shall kindle, and aspire:
+  My breast, O Walpole, glows with grateful fire.
+  The streams of royal bounty, turn’d by thee,
+  Refresh the dry domains of poesy.
+  My fortune shows, when arts are Walpole’s care,
+  What slender worth forbids us to despair:
+  Be this thy partial smile from censure free;
+  ’Twas meant for merit, though it fell on me.
+    Since Brunswick’s smile has authoris’d my muse,
+  Chaste be her conduct, and sublime her views.
+  False praises are the whoredoms of the pen,
+  Which prostitute fair fame to worthless men:
+  This profanation of celestial fire
+  Makes fools despise, what wise men should admire.
+  Let those I praise to distant times be known,
+  Not by their author’s merit, but their own.
+  If others think the task is hard, to weed
+  From verse rank flattery’s vivacious seed,
+  And rooted deep; one means must set them free,
+  Patron! and patriot! let them sing of thee.
+    While vulgar trees ignobler honours wear,
+  Nor those retain, when winter chills the year;
+  The generous orange, favourite of the sun,
+  With vigorous charms can through the seasons run;
+  Defies the storm with her tenacious green;
+  And flowers and fruits in rival pomp are seen:
+  Where blossoms fall, still fairer blossoms spring;
+  And midst their sweets the feather’d poets sing.
+    On Walpole, thus, may pleas’d Britannia view
+  At once her ornament and profit too;
+  The fruit of service, and the bloom of fame,
+  Matur’d and gilded by the royal beam.
+  He, when the nipping blasts of envy rise
+  Its guilt can pity, and its rage despise;
+  Lets fall no honours, but, securely great,
+  Unfaded holds the colour of his fate:
+  No winter knows, though ruffling factions press;
+  By wisdom deeply rooted in success;
+  One glory shed, a brighter is display’d;(61)
+  And the charm’d muses shelter in his shade.
+    O how I long, enkindled by the theme,
+  In deep eternity to launch thy name!
+  Thy name in view, no rights of verse I plead,
+  But what chaste truth indites, old time shall read.
+  "Behold! a man of ancient faith and blood,
+  Which, soon, beat high for arts, and public good;
+  Whose glory great, but natural appears,
+  The genuine growth of services and years;
+  No sudden exhalation drawn on high,
+  And fondly gilt by partial majesty:
+  One bearing greatest toils with greatest ease,
+  One born to serve us, and yet born to please:
+  Whom, while our rights in equal scales he lays,
+  The prince may trust, and yet the people praise;
+  His genius ardent, yet his judgment clear,
+  His tongue is flowing, and his heart sincere,
+  His counsel guides, his temper cheers our isle,
+  And, smiling, gives three kingdoms cause to smile."
+    Joy then to Britain, blest with such a son,
+  To Walpole joy, by whom the prize is won;
+  Who nobly conscious meets the smiles of fate;
+  True greatness lies in daring to be great.
+  Let dastard souls, or affectation, run
+  To shades, nor wear bright honours fairly won;
+  Such men prefer, misled by false applause,
+  The pride of modesty to virtue’s cause.
+  Honours, which make the face of virtue fair,
+  ’Tis great to merit, and ’tis wise to wear;
+  ’Tis holding up the prize to public view,
+  Confirms grown virtue, and inflames the new;
+  Heightens the lustre of our age and clime,
+  And sheds rich seeds of worth for future time.
+    Proud chiefs alone, in fields of slaughter fam’d,
+  Of old, this azure bloom of glory claim’d,
+  As when stern Ajax pour’d a purple flood,
+  The violet rose, fair daughter of his blood.
+  Now rival wisdom dares the wreath divide,
+  And both Minervas rise in equal pride;
+  Proclaiming loud, a monarch fills the throne,
+  Who shines illustrious not in wars alone.
+    Let fame look lovely in Britannia’s eyes;
+  They coldly court desert, who fame despise.
+  For what’s ambition, but fair virtue’s sail?
+  And what applause, but her propitious gale?
+  When swell’d with that, she fleets before the wind
+  To glorious aims, as to the port design’d;
+  When chain’d, without it, to the labouring oar,
+  She toils! she pants! nor gains the flying shore,
+  From her sublime pursuits, or turn’d aside
+  By blasts of envy, or by fortune’s tide:
+  For one that has succeeded ten are lost,
+  Of equal talents, ere they make the coast.
+    Then let renown to worth divine incite,
+  With all her beams, but throw those beams aright.
+  Then merit droops, and genius downward tends,
+  When godlike glory, like our land, descends.
+  Custom the garter long confin’d to few,
+  And gave to birth, exalted virtue’s due:
+  Walpole has thrown the proud enclosure down;
+  And high desert embraces fair renown.
+  Though rival’d, let the peerage smiling see
+  (Smiling, in justice to their own degree)
+  This proud reward by majesty bestow’d
+  On worth like that whence first the peerage flow’d.
+  From frowns of fate Britannia’s bliss’d to guard,
+  Let subjects merit, and let kings reward.
+  Gods are most gods by giving to excel,
+  And kings most like them, by rewarding well.
+    Though strong the twanging nerve, and drawn aright,
+  Short is the winged arrow’s upward flight;
+  But if an eagle it transfix on high,
+  Lodg’d in the wound, it soars into the sky.
+
+  Thus while I sing thee with unequal lays,
+  And wound perhaps that worth I mean to praise;
+  Yet I transcend myself, I rise in fame,
+  Not lifted by my genius, but my theme.
+    No more: for in this dread suspense of fate,
+  Now kingdoms fluctuate, and in dark debate
+  Weigh peace and war, now Europe’s eyes are bent
+  On mighty Brunswick, for the great event,
+  Brunswick of kings the terror or defence!
+  Who dares detain thee at a world’s expense?
+
+
+
+
+
+           AND EPISTLE TO THE RIGHT HON. GEORGE LORD LANSDOWNE.
+
+
+                                  1712.
+
+
+                            Parnassia laurus
+      Parva sub ingenti matris se subjicit umbra.
+
+                                                                —VIRG.
+
+
+  When Rome, my lord, in her full glory shone,
+  And great Augustus rul’d the globe alone,
+  While suppliant kings in all their pomp and state
+  Swarm’d in his courts, and throng’d his palace gate;
+  Horace did oft the mighty man detain,
+  And sooth’d his breast with no ignoble strain;
+  Now soar’d aloft, now struck an humbler string;
+  And taught the Roman genius how to sing.
+    Pardon, if I his freedom dare pursue,
+  Who know no want of Cæsar, finding you;
+  The muse’s friend is pleas’d the muse should press
+  Through circling crowds, and labor for access,
+  That partial to his darling he may prove,
+  And shining throngs for her reproach remove,
+  To all the world industrious to proclaim
+  His love of arts, and boast the glorious flame.
+    Long has the western world reclin’d her head,
+  Pour’d forth her sorrow, and bewail’d her dead;
+  Fell discord through her borders fiercely rang’d,
+  And shook her nations, and her monarchs chang’d;
+  By land and sea, its utmost rage employ’d;
+  Nor heaven repair’d so fast as men destroy’d.
+  In vain kind summers plentuous fields bestow’d,
+  In vain the vintage liberally flow’d;
+  Alarms from loaden boards all pleasures chas’d,
+  And robb’d the rich Burgundian grape of taste;
+  The smiles of Nature could no blessing bring,
+  The fruitful autumn, or the flowery spring;
+  Time was distinguish’d by the sword and spear,
+  Not by the various aspects of the year;
+  The trumpet’s sound proclaim’d a milder sky,
+  And bloodshed told us when the sun was nigh.
+    But now (so soon is Britain’s blessing seen,
+  When such as you are near her glorious queen!)
+  Now peace, though long repuls’d, arrives at last,
+  And bids us smile on all our labours past;
+  Bids every nation cease her wonted moan,
+  And every monarch call his crown his own:
+  To valour gentler virtues now succeed;
+  No longer is the great man born to bleed;
+  Renown’d in councils, brave Argyle shall tell,
+  Wisdom and prowess in one breast may dwell:
+  Through milder tracts he soars to deathless fame,
+  And without trembling we resound his name.
+    No more the rising harvest whets the sword,
+  No longer waves uncertain of its lord;
+  Who cast the seed, the golden sheaf shall claim,
+  Nor chance of battle change the master’s name.
+  Each stream unstain’d with blood more smoothly flows;
+  The brighter sun a fuller day bestows;
+  All nature seems to wear a cheerful face,
+  And thank great Anna for returning peace.
+    The patient thus, when on his bed of pain,
+  No longer he invokes the gods in vain,
+  But rises to new life; in every field
+  He finds Elysium, rivers nectar yield;
+  Nothing so cheap and vulgar but can please,
+  And borrow beauties from his late disease.
+    Nor is it peace alone, but such a peace,
+  As more than bids the rage of battle cease.
+  Death may determine war, and rest succeed,
+  ’Cause nought survives on which our rage may feed:
+  In faithful friends we lose our glorious foes,
+  And strifes of love exalt our sweet repose.
+  See graceful Bolingbroke, your friend, advance,
+  Nor miss his Lansdowne in the court of France;
+  So well receiv’d, so welcome, so at home,
+  (Blest change of fate,) in Bourbon’s stately dome;
+  The monarch pleas’d, descending from his throne,
+  Will not that Anna call him all her own;
+  He claims a part, and looking round to find
+  Something might speak the fulness of his mind,
+  A diamond shines, which oft had touch’d him near,
+  Renew’d his grief, and robb’d him of a tear;
+  Now first with joy beheld, well plac’d on one,
+  Who makes him less regret his darling son;
+  So dear is Anna’s minister, so great,
+  Your glorious friend in his own private state.
+    To make our nations longer two, in vain
+  Does nature interpose the raging main:
+  The Gallic shore to distant Britain grows,
+  For Lewis Thames, the Seine for Anna flows:
+  From conflicts pass’d each other’s worth we find,
+  And thence in stricter friendship now are join’d;
+  Each wound receiv’d, now pleads the cause of love,
+  And former injuries endearments prove.
+  What Briton but must prize th’ illustrious sword,
+  That cause of fear to Churchill could afford?
+  Who sworn to Bourbon’s sceptre, but must frame
+  Vast thoughts of him, that could brave Tallard tame?
+  Thus generous hatred in affection ends,
+  And war, which rais’d the foes, completes the friends.
+  A thousand happy consequences flow
+  (The dazzling prospect makes my bosom glow);
+  Commerce shall lift her swelling sails, and roll
+  Her wealthy fleets secure from pole to pole;
+  The British merchant, who with care and pain
+  For many moons sees only skies and main;
+  When now in view of his loved native shore,
+  The perils of the dreadful ocean o’er,
+  Cause to regret his wealth no more shall find,
+  Nor curse the mercy of the sea and wind;
+  By hardest fate condemn’d to serve a foe,
+  And give him strength to strike a deeper blow.
+  Sweet Philomela providently flies
+  To distant woods and streams, for such supplies,
+  To feed her young, and make them try the wing,
+  And with their tender notes attempt to sing:
+  Meanwhile, the fowler spreads his secret snare,
+  And renders vain the tuneful mother’s care.
+  Britannia’s bold adventurer of late
+  The foaming ocean plow’d with equal fate.
+    Goodness is greatness in its utmost height,
+  And power a curse, if not a friend to right:
+  To conquer is to make dissension cease,
+  That man may serve the King of kings in peace.
+  Religion now shall all her rays dispense,
+  And shine abroad in perfect excellence;
+  Else we may dread some greater curse at hand,
+  To scourge a thoughtless and ungrateful land:
+  Now war is weary, and retir’d to rest;
+  The meagre famine, and the spotted pest,
+  Deputed in her stead, may blast the day,
+  And sweep the relics of the sword away.
+    When peaceful Numa fill’d the Roman throne,
+  Jove in the fulness of his glory shone;
+  Wise Solomon, a stranger to the sword,
+  Was born to raise a temple to the Lord.
+  Anne too shall build, and every sacred pile
+  Speak peace eternal to Britannia’s isle.
+  Those mighty souls, whom military care
+  Diverted from their only great affair,
+  Shall bend their full united force, to bless
+  Th’ Almighty Author of their late success.
+  And what is all the world subdued to this?
+  The grave sets bounds to sublunary bliss;
+  But there are conquests to great Anna known,
+  Above the splendour of an earthly throne;
+  Conquests! whose triumph is too great, within
+  The scanty bounds of matter to begin;
+  Too glorious to shine forth, till it has run
+  Beyond this darkness of the stars and sun,
+  And shall whole ages past be still, still but begun.
+    Heroic shades! whom war has swept away,
+  Look down, and smile on this auspicious day:
+  Now boast your deaths; to those your glory tell,
+  Who or at Agincourt or Cressy fell;
+  Then deep into eternity retire,
+  Of greater things than peace or war inquire;
+  Fully content, and unconcern’d, to know
+  What farther passes in the world below.
+    The bravest of mankind shall now have leave
+  To die but once, nor piece-meal seek the grave:
+  On gain or pleasure bent, we shall not meet
+  Sad melancholy numbers in each street
+  (Owners of bones dispers’d on Flandria’s plain,
+  Or wasting in the bottom of the main);
+  To turn us back from joy, in tender fear,
+  Lest it an insult of their woes appear,
+  And make us grudge ourselves that wealth, their blood
+  Perhaps preserv’d, who starve, or beg for food.
+  Devotion shall run pure, and disengage
+  From that strange fate of mixing peace with rage.
+  On heaven without a sin we now may call,
+  And guiltless to our Maker prostrate fall;
+  Be Christians while we pray, nor in one breath
+  Ask mercy for ourselves, for others death.
+    But O! I view with transport arts restor’d,
+  Which double use to Britain shall afford;
+  Secure her glory purchas’d in the field,
+  And yet for future peace sweet motives yield:
+  While we contemplate on the painted wall,
+  The pressing Briton, and the flying Gaul,
+  In such bright images, such living grace,
+  As leave great Raphael but the second place;
+  Our cheeks shall glow, our heaving bosoms rise,
+  And martial ardours sparkle in our eyes;
+  Much we shall triumph in our battles past,
+  And yet consent those battles prove our last;
+  Lest, while in arms for brighter fame we strive,
+  We lose the means to keep that fame alive.
+    In silent groves the birds delight to sing,
+  Or near the margin of a secret spring:
+  Now all is calm, sweet music shall improve,
+  Nor kindle rage, but be the nurse of love.
+    But what’s the warbling voice, the trembling string,
+  Or breathing canvass, when the muses sing?
+  The muse, my lord, your care above the rest,
+  With rising joy dilates my partial breast;
+  The thunder of the battle ceas’d to roar,
+  Ere Greece her godlike poets taught to soar;
+  Rome’s dreadful foe, great Hannibal, was dead,
+  And all her warlike neighbours round her bled;
+  For Janus shut, her Iö Pæans rung,
+  Before an Ovid or a Virgil sung.
+    A thousand various forms the muse may wear,
+  (A thousand various forms become the fair;)
+  But shines in none with more majestic mien,
+  Than when in state she draws the purple scene;
+  Calls forth her monarchs, bids her heroes rage,
+  And mourning beauty melt the crowded stage;
+  Charms back past ages, gives to Britain’s use
+  The noblest virtues time did e’er produce;
+  Leaves fam’d historians’ boasted art behind;
+  They keep the soul alone, and that’s confin’d,
+  Sought out with pains, and but by proxy speaks
+  The hero’s presence deep impression makes;
+  The scenes his soul and body reunite,
+  Furnish a voice, produce him to the sight;
+  Make our contemporary him that stood
+  High in renown, perhaps before the flood;
+  Make Nestor to this age advice afford,
+  And Hector for our service draw his sword.
+    More glory to an author what can bring,
+  Whence nobler service to his country spring,
+  Than from those labours, which, in man’s despight,
+  Possess him with a passion for the right?
+  With honest magic make the knave inclin’d
+  To pay devotion to the virtuous mind;
+  Through all her toils and dangers bid him rove,
+  And with her wants and anguish fall in love?
+    Who hears the godlike Montezuma groan,
+  And does not wish the glorious pain his own?
+  Lend but your understanding, and their skill
+  Can domineer at pleasure o’er your will:
+  Nor is the short-liv’d conquest quickly past;
+  Shame, if not choice, will hold the convert fast.
+    How often have I seen the generous bowl
+  With pleasing force unlock a secret soul,
+  And steal a truth, which every sober hour
+  (The prose of life) had kept within her power!
+  The grape victorious often has prevail’d,
+  When gold and beauty, racks and tortures, fail’d:
+  Yet when the spirit’s tumult was allay’d,
+  She mourn’d, perhaps, the sentiment betray’d;
+  But mourn’d too late, no longer could deny,
+  And on her own confession charge the lie.
+    Thus they, whom neither the prevailing love
+  Of goodness here, or mercy from above,
+  Or fear of future pains, or human laws
+  Could render advocates in virtue’s cause,
+  Caught by the scene, have unawares resign’d
+  Their wonted disposition of the mind:
+  By slow degrees prevails the pleasing tale,
+  As circling glasses on our senses steal;
+  Till thoroughly by the muses’ banquet warm’d,
+  The passions tossing, all the soul alarm’d,
+  They turn mere zealots flush’d with glorious rage,
+  Rise in their seats, and scarce forbear the stage,
+  Assistance to wrong’d innocence to bring,
+  Or turn the poniard on some tyrant king.
+  How can they cool to villains? how subside
+  To dregs of vice, from such a godlike pride?
+  To spoiling orphans how to day return,
+  Who wept last night to see Monimia mourn?
+  In this gay school of virtue, whom so fit
+  To govern, and control the world of wit,
+  As Talbot, Lansdowne’s friend, has Britain known?
+  Him polish’d Italy has call’d her own;
+  He in the lap of elegance was bred,
+  And trac’d the muses to their fountain head:
+  But much we hope, he will enjoy at home
+  What’s nearer ancient than the modern Rome.
+  Nor fear I mention of the court of France,
+  When I the British genius would advance;
+  There too has Shrewsbury improv’d his taste;
+  Yet still we dare invite him to our feast:
+  For Corneille’s sake I shall my thoughts suppress
+  Of Oroonoko, and presume him less:
+  What though we wrong him? Isabella’s woe
+  Waters those bays that shall for ever grow.
+    Our foes confess, nor we the praise refuse,
+  The drama glories in the British muse.
+  The French are delicate, and nicely lead
+  Of close intrigue the labyrinthian thread;
+  Our genius more affects the grand, than fine,
+  Our strength can make the great plain action shine:
+  They raise a great curiosity indeed,
+  From his dark maze to see the hero freed;
+  We rouse th’ affections, and that hero show
+  Gasping beneath some formidable blow:
+  They sigh; we weep: the Gallic doubt and care
+  We heighten into terror and despair;
+  Strike home, the strongest passions boldly touch,
+  Nor fear our audience should be pleas’d too much.
+  What’s great in nature we can greatly draw,
+  Nor thank for beauties the dramatic law.
+  The fate of Cæsar is a tale too plain
+  The fickle Gallic taste to entertain;
+  Their art would have perplex’d, and interwove
+  The golden arras with gay flowers of love:
+  We know heaven made him a far greater man
+  Than any Cæsar, in a human plan,
+  And such we draw him, nor are too refin’d,
+  To stand affected with what heaven design’d.
+  To claim attention, and the heart invade,
+  Shakespeare but wrote the play th’ Almighty made.
+  Our neighbour’s stage-art too bare-fac’d betrays,
+  ’Tis great Corneille at every scene we praise;
+  On nature’s surer aid Britannia calls,
+  None think of Shakespeare till the curtain falls;
+  Then with a sigh returns our audience home,
+  From Venice, Egypt, Persia, Greece, or Rome.
+    France yields not to the glory of our lines,
+  But manly conduct of our strong designs;
+  That oft they think more justly we must own,
+  Not ancient Greece a truer sense has shown:
+  Greece thought but justly, they think justly too;
+  We sometimes err by striving more to do.
+  So well are Racine’s meanest persons taught,
+  But change a sentiment, you make a fault;
+  Nor dare we charge them with the want of flame:
+  When we boast more, we own ourselves to blame.
+    And yet in Shakespeare something still I find,
+  That makes me less esteem all human kind;
+  He made one nature, and another found,
+  Both in his page with master strokes abound:
+  His witches, fairies, and enchanted isle.
+  Bid us no longer at our nurses smile;
+  Of lost historians we almost complain,
+  Nor think it the creation of his brain.
+  Who lives, when his Othello’s in a trance?
+  With his great Talbot(62) too he conquer’d France.
+    Long we may hope brave Talbot’s blood will run
+  In great descendants, Shakespeare has but one;
+  And him, my lord, permit me not to name,
+  But in kind silence spare his rival’s shame:—
+  Yet I in vain that author would suppress,
+  What can’t be greater, cannot be made less:
+  Each reader will defeat my fruitless aim,
+  And to himself great Agamemnon name.
+    Should Shakespeare rise unbless’d with Talbot’s smile,
+  E’en Shakespeare’s self would curse this barren isle:
+  But if that reigning star propitious shine,
+  And kindly mix his gentle rays with thine;
+  E’en I, by far the meanest of your age,
+  Shall not repent my passion for the stage.
+    Thus did the will almighty disallow,
+  No human force could pluck the golden bough,
+  Which left the tree with ease at Jove’s command,
+  And spar’d the labour of the weakest hand.
+    Auspicious fate! that gives me leave to write
+  To you, the muses’ glory and delight;
+  Who know to read, nor false encomiums raise,
+  And mortify an author with your praise:
+  Praise wounds a noble mind, when ’tis not due,
+  But censure’s self will please, my lord, from you;
+  Faults are our pride and gain, when you descend
+  To point them out, and teach us how to mend.
+  What though the great man set his coffers wide,
+  That cannot gratify the poet’s pride;
+  Whose inspiration, if ’tis truly good,
+  Is best rewarded, when best understood.
+  The muses write for glory, not for gold,
+  ’Tis far beneath their nature to be sold:
+  The greatest gain is scorn’d, but as it serves
+  To speak a sense of what the muse deserves;
+  The muse which from her Lansdowne fears no wrong,
+  Best judge, as well as subject, of her song.
+  Should this great theme allure me further still,
+  And I presume to use your patience ill,
+  The world would plead my cause, and none but you
+  Will take disgust at what I now pursue:
+  Since what is mean my muse can’t raise, I’ll choose
+  A theme that’s able to exalt my muse.
+    For who, not void of thought, can Granville name,
+  Without a spark of his immortal flame?
+  Whether we seek the patriot, or the friend,
+  Let Bolingbroke, let Anna recommend;
+  Whether we choose to love or to admire,
+  You melt the tender, and th’ambitious fire.
+    Such native graces without thought abound,
+  And such familiar glories spread around,
+  As more incline the stander by to raise
+  His value for himself, than you to praise.
+  Thus you befriend the most heroic way,
+  Bless all, on none an obligation lay;
+  So turn’d by nature’s hand for all that’s well,
+  ’Tis scarce a virtue when you most excel.
+    Tho’ sweet your presence, graceful is your mien,
+  You to be happy want not to be seen;
+  Though priz’d in public, you can smile alone,
+  Nor court an approbation but your own:
+  In throngs, not conscious of those eyes that gaze
+  In wonder fix’d, though resolute to please;
+  You, were all blind, would still deserve applause;
+  The world’s your glory’s witness, not its cause;
+  That lies beyond the limits of the day,
+  Angels behold it, and their God obey.
+    You take delight in others’ excellence;
+  A gift, which nature rarely does dispense:
+  Of all that breathe ’tis you, perhaps, alone
+  Would be well pleas’d to see yourself outdone.
+  You wish not those, who show your name respect,
+  So little worth, as might excuse neglect;
+  Nor are in pain lest merit you should know;
+  Nor shun the well deserver as a foe;
+  A troublesome acquaintance, that will claim
+  To be well us’d, or dye your cheek with shame.
+    You wish your country’s good; that told so well
+  Your powers are known, th’ event I need not tell.
+  When Nestor spoke, none ask’d if he prevail’d;
+  That god of sweet persuasion never fail’d:
+  And such great fame had Hector’s valour wrought,
+  Who meant he conquer’d, only said he fought.
+    When you, my lord, to sylvan scenes retreat,
+  No crowds around for pleasure, or for state,
+  You are not cast upon a stranger land,
+  And wander pensive o’er the barren strand;
+  Nor are you by receiv’d example taught,
+  In toys to shun the discipline of thought;
+  But unconfin’d by bounds of time and place,
+  You choose companions from all human race;
+  Converse with those the deluge swept away,
+  Or those whose midnight is Britannia’s day.
+    Books not so much inform, as give consent
+  To those ideas your own thoughts present;
+  Your only gain from turning volumes o’er,
+  Is finding cause to like yourself the more:
+  In Grecian sages you are only taught
+  With more respect to value your own thought:
+  Great Tully grew immortal, while he drew
+  Those precepts we behold alive in you:
+  Your life is so adjusted to their schools,
+  It makes that history they meant for rules.
+  What joy, what pleasing transport, must arise
+  Within your breast, and lift you to the skies,
+  When, in each learned page that you unfold,
+  You find some part of your own conduct told!
+    So pleas’d, and so surpris’d, Æneas stood,
+  And such triumphant raptures fir’d his blood,
+  When far from Trojan shores the hero spied
+  His story shining forth in all its pride;
+  Admir’d himself, and saw his actions stand
+  The praise and wonder of a foreign land.
+    He knows not half his being, who’s confin’d
+  In converse, and reflection on mankind:
+  Your soul, which understands her charter well,
+  Disdains imprison’d by those skies to dwell;
+  Ranges eternity without the leave
+  Of death, nor waits the passage of the grave.
+    When pains eternal, and eternal bliss,
+  When these high cares your weary thoughts dismiss,
+  In heavenly numbers you your soul unbend,
+  And for your ease to deathless fame descend.
+  Ye kings! would ye true greatness understand,
+  Read Seneca grown rich in Granville’s hand.(63)
+    Behold the glories of your life complete!
+  Still at a flow, and permanently great;
+  New moments shed new pleasures as they fly,
+  And yet your greatest is, that you must die.
+    Thus Anna saw, and rais’d you to the seat
+  Of honour, and confess’d her servant great;
+  Confess’d, not made him such; for faithful fame
+  Her trumpet swell’d long since with Granville’s name;
+  Though you in modesty the title wear,
+  Your name shall be the title of your heir;
+  Farther than ermine, make his glory known,
+  And cast in shades the favour of a throne.
+  From thrones the beam of high distinction springs;
+  The soul’s endowments from the King of kings,
+  Lo! one great day calls forth ten mighty peers!
+  Produce ten Granvilles in five thousand years;
+  Anna, be thou content to fix the fate
+  Of various kingdoms, and control the great;
+  But O! to bid thy Granville brighter shine!
+  To him that great prerogative resign,
+  Who the sun’s height can raise at pleasure higher,
+  His lamp illumine, set his flames on fire.
+    Yet still one bliss, one glory, I forbear,
+  A darling friend whom near your heart you wear;
+  That lovely youth, my lord, whom you must blame,
+  That I grow thus familiar with your name.
+    He’s friendly, open, in his conduct nice,
+  Nor serve these virtues to atone for vice:
+  Vice has he none, or such as none wish less,
+  But friends indeed, good-nature in excess.
+  You cannot boast the merit of a choice,
+  In making him your own, ’twas nature’s voice,
+  Which call’d too loud by man to be withstood,
+  Pleading a tie far nearer than of blood;
+  Similitude of manners, such a mind
+  As makes you less the wonder of mankind.
+  Such ease his common converse recommends,
+  As he ne’er felt a passion, but his friend’s;
+  Yet fix’d his principles, beyond the force
+  Of all beneath the sun, to bend his course.(64)
+  Thus the tall cedar, beautiful and fair,
+  Flatters the motions of the wanton air;
+  Salutes each passing breeze with head reclin’d:
+  The pliant branches dance in every wind:
+  But fix’d the stem her upright state maintains,
+  And all the fury of the north disdains.
+    How are you bless’d in such a matchless friend!
+  Alas! with me the joys of friendship end;
+  O Harrison! I must, I will complain;
+  Tears soothe the soul’s distress, tho’ shed in vain;
+  Didst thou return, and bless thy native shore
+  With welcome peace, and is my friend no more?—
+  Thy task was early done, and I must own
+  Death kind to thee, but ah! to thee alone.
+  But ’tis in me a vanity to mourn,
+  The sorrows of the great thy tomb adorn;
+  Strafford and Bolingbroke the loss perceive,
+  They grieve, and make thee envied in thy grave.
+    With aching heart, and a foreboding mind,
+  I night to day in painful journey join’d,
+  When first inform’d of his approaching fate;
+  But reach’d the partner of my soul too late:
+  ’Twas past, his cheek was cold; that tuneful tongue,
+  Which Isis charm’d with its melodious song,
+  Now languish’d, wanted strength to speak his pain,
+  Scarce rais’d a feeble groan, and sunk again:
+  Each art of life, in which he bore a part,
+  Shot like an arrow through my bleeding heart.
+  To what serv’d all his promis’d wealth and power,
+  But more to load that most unhappy hour?
+  Yet still prevail’d the greatness of his mind;
+  That, not in health, or life itself confin’d,
+  Felt through his mortal pangs Britannia’s peace,
+  Mounted to joy, and smil’d in death’s embrace.
+    His spirit now just ready to resign,
+  No longer now his own, no longer mine,
+  He grasps my hand, his swimming eyeballs roll,
+  My hand he grasps, and enters in my soul:
+  Then with a groan—Support me, O! beware
+  Of holding worth, however great, too dear!(65)
+    Pardon, my lord, the privilege of grief,
+  That in untimely freedom seeks relief;
+  To better fate your love I recommend,
+  O! may you never lose so dear a friend!
+  May nothing interrupt your happy hours;
+  Enjoy the blessings peace on Europe showers:
+  Nor yet disdain those blessings to adorn;
+  To make the muse immortal, you was born.
+  Sing; and in latest time, when story’s dark,
+  This period your surviving fame shall mark;
+  Save from the gulf of years this glorious age,
+  And thus illustrate their historian’s page.
+    The crown of Spain in doubtful balance hung,
+  And Anna Britain sway’d, when Granville sung:
+  That noted year Europa sheath’d her sword,
+  When this great man was first saluted lord.

+
+                         TWO EPISTLES TO MR. POPE
+
+
+                 Concerning the Authors of the Age. 1730.
+
+
+
+
+                                Epistle I.
+
+
+  Whilst you at Twickenham plan the future wood,
+  Or turn the volumes of the wise and good,
+  Our senate meets; at parties, parties bawl,
+  And pamphlets stun the streets, and load the stall;
+  So rushing tides bring things obscene to light,
+  Foul wrecks emerge, and dead dogs swim in sight;
+  The civil torrent foams, the tumult reigns,
+  And Codrus’ prose works up, and Lico’s strains.
+  Lo! what from cellars rise, what rush from high,
+  Where speculation roosted near the sky;
+  Letters, essays, sock, buskin, satire, song,
+  And all the garret thunders on the throng!
+    O Pope! I burst; nor can, nor will, refrain;
+  I’ll write; let others, in their turn, complain:
+  Truce, truce, ye Vandals! my tormented ear
+  Less dreads a pillory than a pamphleteer;
+  I’ve heard myself to death; and, plagu’d each hour,
+  Shan’t I return the vengeance in my power?
+  For who can write the true absurd like me?——
+  Thy pardon, Codrus! who, I mean, but thee?
+    Pope! if like mine, or Codrus’, were thy style,
+  The blood of vipers had not stain’d thy file;
+  Merit less solid, less despite had bred;
+  They had not bit, and then they had not bled.
+  Fame is a public mistress, none enjoys,
+  But, more or less, his rival’s peace destroys;
+  With fame, in just proportion, envy grows;
+  The man that makes a character, makes foes:
+  Slight, peevish insects round a genius rise,
+  As a bright day awakes the world of flies;
+  With hearty malice, but with feeble wing,
+  (To show they live) they flutter, and they sting:
+  But as by depredations wasps proclaim
+  The fairest fruit, so these the fairest fame.
+    Shall we not censure all the motley train,
+  Whether with ale irriguous, or champaign?
+  Whether they tread the vale of prose, or climb,
+  And whet their appetites on cliffs of rhyme;
+  The college sloven, or embroider’d spark;
+  The purple prelate, or the parish clerk;
+  The quiet quidnunc, or demanding prig;
+  The plaintiff tory, or defendant whig;
+  Rich, poor, male, female, young, old, gay, or sad;
+  Whether extremely witty, or quite mad;
+  Profoundly dull, or shallowly polite;
+  Men that read well, or men that only write;
+  Whether peers, porters, tailors, tune the reeds,
+  And measuring words to measuring shapes succeeds;
+  For bankrupts write, when ruin’d shops are shut,
+  As maggots crawl from out a perish’d nut.
+  His hammer this, and that his trowel quits,
+  And, wanting sense for tradesmen, serve for wits.
+  By thriving men subsists each other trade;
+  Of every broken craft a writer’s made:
+  Thus his material, paper, takes its birth
+  From tatter’d rags of all the stuff on earth.
+    Hail, fruitful isle! to thee alone belong
+  Millions of wits, and brokers in old song:
+  Thee well a land of liberty we name,
+  Where all are free to scandal and to shame;
+  Thy sons, by print, may set their hearts at ease,
+  And be mankind’s contempt, whene’er they please;
+  Like trodden filth, their vile and abject sense
+  Is unperceiv’d, but when it gives offence:
+  Their heavy prose our injur’d reason tires;
+  Their verse immoral kindles loose desires:
+  Our age they puzzle, and corrupt our prime,
+  Our sport and pity, punishment and crime.
+    What glorious motives urge our authors on,
+  Thus to undo, and thus to be undone?
+  One loses his estate, and down he sits,
+  To show (in vain!) he still retains his wits:
+  Another marries, and his dear proves keen;
+  He writes as an hypnotic for the spleen:
+  Some write, confin’d by physic; some, by debt;
+  Some, for ’tis Sunday; some, because ’tis wet;
+  Through private pique some do the public right,
+  And love their king and country out of spite:
+  Another writes because his father writ,
+  And proves himself a bastard by his wit.
+    Has Lico learning, humour, thought profound?
+  Neither: why write then? He wants twenty pound:
+  His belly, not his brains, this impulse give;
+  He’ll grow immortal; for he cannot live:
+  He rubs his awful front, and takes his ream,
+  With no provision made, but of his theme;
+  Perhaps a title has his fancy smit,
+  Or a quaint motto, which he thinks has wit:
+  He writes, in inspiration puts his trust,
+  Tho’ wrong his thoughts, the gods will make them just;
+  Genius directly from the gods descends,
+  And who by labour would distrust his friends?
+  Thus having reason’d with consummate skill,
+  In immortality he dips his quill:
+  And, since blank paper is denied the press,
+  He mingles the whole alphabet by guess:
+  In various sets, which various words compose,
+  Of which, he hopes, mankind the meaning knows.
+    So sounds spontaneous from the sibyl broke,
+  Dark to herself the wonders which she spoke;
+  The priests found out the meaning, if they could;
+  And nations star’d at what none understood.
+    Clodio dress’d, danc’d, drank, visited, (the whole
+  And great concern of an immortal soul!)
+  Oft have I said, "Awake! exist! and strive
+  For birth! nor think to loiter is to live!"
+  As oft I overheard the demon say,
+  Who daily met the loit’rer in his way,
+  "I’ll meet thee, youth, at White’s:" the youth replies,
+  "I’ll meet thee there," and falls his sacrifice;
+  His fortune squander’d, leaves his virtue bare
+  To ev’ry bribe, and blind to ev’ry snare:
+  Clodio for bread his indolence must quit,
+  Or turn a soldier, or commence a wit.
+  Such heroes have we! all, but life, they stake;
+  How must Spain tremble, and the German shake!
+  Such writers have we! all, but sense, they print;
+  Ev’n George’s praise is dated from the mint.
+  In arms contemptible, in arts profane,
+  Such swords, such pens, disgrace a monarch’s reign.
+  Reform your lives before you thus aspire,
+  And steal (for you can steal) celestial fire.
+    O the just contrast! O the beauteous strife!
+  ’Twixt their cool writings, and pindaric life:
+  They write with phlegm, but then they live with fire;
+  They cheat the lender, and their works the buyer.
+    I reverence misfortune, not deride;
+  I pity poverty, but laugh at pride:
+  For who so sad, but must some mirth confess
+  At gay Castruchio’s miscellaneous dress?
+  Though there’s but one of the dull works he wrote,
+  There’s ten editions of his old lac’d coat.
+    These, nature’s commoners, who want a home,
+  Claim the wide world for their majestic dome;
+  They make a private study of the street;
+  And, looking full on every man they meet,
+  Run souse against his chaps; who stands amaz’d
+  To find they did not see, but only gaz’d.
+  How must these bards be rapt into the skies!
+  you need not read, you feel their ecstasies.
+    Will they persist? ’Tis Madness; Lintot, run,
+  See them confin’d—"O that’s already done."
+  Most, as by leases, by the works they print,
+  Have took, for life, possession of the mint.
+  If you mistake, and pity these poor men,
+  est Ulubris, they cry, and write again.
+    Such wits their nuisance manfully expose,
+  And then pronounce just judges learning’s foes;
+  O frail conclusion; the reverse is true;
+  If foes to learning, they’d be friends to you:
+  Treat them, ye judges! with an honest scorn,
+  And weed the cockle from the generous corn:
+  There’s true good nature in your disrepect;
+  In justice to the good, the bad neglect:
+  For immortality, if hardships plead,
+  It is not theirs who write, but ours who read.
+    But, O! what wisdom can convince a fool,
+  But that ’tis dulness to conceive him dull?
+  ’Tis sad experience takes the censor’s part,
+  Conviction, not from reason, but from smart.
+    a virgin author, recent from the press,
+  The sheets yet wet, applauds his great success;
+  Surveys them, reads them, takes their charms to bed,
+  Those in his hand, and glory in his head;
+  ’Tis joy too great; a fever of delight!
+  His heart beats thick, nor close his eyes all night:
+  But rising the next morn to clasp his fame,
+  He finds that without sleeping he could dream:
+  So sparks, they say, take goddesses to bed,
+  And find next day the devil in their stead.
+    In vain advertisements the town o’erspread;
+  They’re epitaphs, and the work is dead.
+  Who press for fame, but small recruits will raise;
+  ’Tis volunteers alone can give the bays.
+    A famous author visits a great man,
+  Of his immortal work displays the plan,
+  And says, "Sir, I’m your friend; all fears dismiss;
+  Your glory, and my own, shall live by this;
+  Your power is fixt, your fame thro’ time convey’d,
+  And Britain Europe’s queen—if I am paid."
+  A statesman has his answer in a trice:
+  "Sir, such a genius is beyond all price;
+  What man can pay for this?"—Away he turns;
+  His work is folded, and his bosom burns:
+  His patron he will patronize no more;
+  But rushes like a tempest out of door.
+  Lost is the patriot, and extinct his name!
+  Out comes the piece, another, and the same;
+  For A, his magic pen evokes an O,
+  And turns the tide of Europe on the foe:
+  He rams his quill with scandal, and with scoff;
+  But ’tis so very foul, it wont go off:
+  Dreadful his thunders, while unprinted, roar;
+  But when once publish’d, they are heard no more.
+  Thus distant bugbears fright, but, nearer draw,
+  The block’s a block, and turns to mirth your awe.
+    Can those oblige, whose heads and hearts are such?
+  No; every party’s tainted by their touch.
+  Infected persons fly each public place;
+  And none, or enemies alone, embrace:
+  To the foul fiend their every passion’s sold:
+  They love, and hate, extempore, for gold:
+  What image of their fury can we form?
+  Dulness and rage, a puddle in a storm.
+  Rest they in peace? If you are pleas’d to buy,
+  To swell your sails, like Lapland winds, they fly:
+  Write they with rage? The tempest quickly flags;
+  A state Ulysses tames ’em with his bags;
+  Let him be what he will, Turk, Pagan, Jew:
+  For Christian ministers of state are few.
+    Behind the curtain lurks the fountain head,
+  That pours his politics through pipes of lead,
+  Which far and near ejaculate, and spout
+  O’er tea and coffee, poison to the rout:
+  But when they have bespatter’d all they may,
+  The statesman throws his filthy squirts away!
+    With golden forceps, these, another takes,
+  And state elixirs of the vipers makes.
+    The richest statesman wants wherewith to pay
+  A servile sycophant, if well they weigh
+  How much it costs the wretch to be so base;
+  Nor can the greatest powers enough disgrace,
+  Enough chastise, such prostitute applause,
+  If well they weigh how much it stains their cause.
+    But are our writers ever in the wrong?
+  Does virtue ne’er seduce the venal tongue?
+  Yes; if well brib’d, for virtue’s self they fight;
+  Still in the wrong, tho’ champions for the right:
+  Whoe’er their crimes for interest only quit,
+  Sin on in virtue, and good deeds commit.
+    Nought but inconstancy Britannia meets,
+  And broken faith in their abandon’d sheets;
+  From the same hand how various is the page!
+  What civil war their brother pamphlets wage!
+  Tracts battle tracts, self-contradictions glare;
+  Say, is this lunacy?—I wish it were.
+  If such our writers, startled at the sight,
+  Felons may bless their stars they cannot write!
+    How justly Proteus’ transmigrations fit
+  The monstrous changes of a modern wit!
+  Now, such a gentle stream of eloquence
+  As seldom rises to the verge of sense;
+  Now, by mad rage, transform’d into a flame,
+  Which yet fit engines, well applied, can tame;
+  Now, on immodest trash, the swine obscene,
+  Invites the town to sup at Drury Lane;
+  A dreadful lion, now he roars at power,
+  Which sends him to his brothers at the Tower;
+  He’s now a serpent, and his double tongue
+  Salutes, nay licks, the feet of those he stung;
+  What knot can bind him, his evasion such?
+  One knot he well deserves, which might do much.
+    The flood, flame, swine, the lion, and the snake,
+  Those fivefold monsters, modern authors make:
+  The snake reigns most; snakes, Pliny says, are bred
+  When the brain’s perish’d in a human head.
+  Ye grov’ling, trodden, whipt, stript, turncoat things,
+  Made up of venom, volumes, stains, and stings!
+  Thrown from the tree of knowledge, like you, curst
+  To scribble in the dust, was snake the first.
+    What if the figure should in fact prove true!
+  It did in Elkenah, why not in you?
+  Poor Elkenah, all other changes past,
+  For bread in Smithfield dragons hist at last,
+  Spit streams of fire to make the butchers gape,
+  And found his manners suited to his shape:
+  Such is the fate of talents misapplied;
+  So liv’d your prototype; and so he died.
+    Th’ abandon’d manners of our writing train
+  May tempt mankind to think religion vain;
+  But in their fate, their habit, and their mien,
+  That gods there are is eminently seen:
+  Heaven stands absolv’d by vengeance on their pen,
+  And marks the murderers of fame from men:
+  Through meagre jaws they draw their venal breath,
+  As ghastly as their brothers in Macbeth:
+  Their feet through faithless leather meet the dirt,
+  And oftener chang’d their principles than shirt.
+  The transient vestments of these frugal men,
+  Hastens to paper for our mirth again:
+  Too soon (O merry melancholy fate!)
+  They beg in rhyme, and warble through a grate:
+  The man lampoon’d forgets it at the sight;
+  The friend through pity gives, the foe through spite;
+  And though full conscious of his injur’d purse,
+  Lintot relents, nor Curll can wish them worse.
+  So fare the men, who writers dare commence
+  Without their patent, probity, and sense.
+    From these, their politics our quidnuncs seek,
+  And Saturday’s the learning of the week:
+  These labouring wits, like paviours, mend our ways,
+  With heavy, huge, repeated, flat essays;
+  Ram their coarse nonsense down, though ne’er so dull;
+  And hem at every thump upon your skull:
+  These staunch bred writing hounds begin the cry,
+  And honest folly echoes to the lie.
+  O how I laugh, when I a blockhead see,
+  Thanking a villain for his probity;
+  Who stretches out a most respectful ear,
+  With snares for woodcocks in his holy leer:
+  It tickles thro’ my soul to hear the cock’s
+  Sincere encomium on his friend the fox,
+  Sole patron of his liberties and rights!
+  While graceless Reynard listens—till he bites.
+    As when the trumpet sounds, th’ o’erloaded state
+  Discharges all her poor and profligate;
+  Crimes of all kinds dishonour’d weapons wield,
+  And prisons pour their filth into the field;
+  Thus nature’s refuse, and the dregs of men,
+  Compose the black militia of the pen.
+
+
+
+
+                               Epistle II.
+
+
+                               From Oxford.
+
+
+  All write at London; shall the rage abate
+  Here, where it most should shine, the muses’ seat?
+  Where, mortal or immortal, as they please,
+  The learn’d may choose eternity, or ease?
+  Has not a (66)royal patron wisely strove
+  To woo the muse in her Athenian grove?
+  Added new strings to her harmonious shell,
+  And given new tongues to those who spoke so well?
+  Let these instruct, with truth’s illustrious ray,
+  Awake the world, and scare our owls away.
+    Meanwhile, O friend! indulge me, if I give
+  Some needful precepts how to write, and live!
+  Serious should be an author’s final views;
+  Who write for pure amusement, ne’er amuse.
+    An author! ’tis a venerable name!
+  How few deserve it, and what numbers claim!
+  Unblest with sense above their peers refin’d,
+  Who shall stand up, dictators to mankind?
+  Nay, who dare shine, if not in virtue’s cause?
+  That sole proprietor of just applause.
+    Ye restless men, who pant for letter’d praise,
+  With whom would you consult to gain the bays?—
+  With those great authors whose fam’d works you read?
+  ’Tis well: go, then, consult the laurell’d shade.
+  What answer will the laurell’d shade return?
+  Hear it, and tremble! he commands you burn
+  The noblest works his envied genius writ,
+  That boast of nought more excellent than wit.
+  If this be true, as ’tis a truth most dread,
+  Woe to the page which has not that to plead!
+  Fontaine and Chaucer, dying, wish’d unwrote,
+  The sprightliest efforts of their wanton thought:
+  Sidney and Waller, brightest sons of fame,
+  Condemn the charm of ages to the flame:
+  And in one point is all true wisdom cast,
+  To think that early we must think at last.
+    Immortal wits, ev’n dead, break nature’s laws,
+  Injurious still to virtue’s sacred cause;
+  And their guilt growing, as their bodies rot,
+  (Revers’d ambition!) pant to be forgot.
+    Thus ends your courted fame: does lucre then,
+  The sacred thirst of gold, betray your pen?
+  In prose ’tis blameable, in verse ’tis worse,
+  Provokes the muse, extorts Apollo’s curse:
+  His sacred influence never should be sold:
+  ’Tis arrant simony to sing for gold:
+  ’Tis immortality should fire your mind;
+  Scorn a less paymaster than all mankind.
+    If bribes you seek, know this, ye writing tribe!
+  Who writes for virtue has the largest bribe:
+  All’s on the party of the virtuous man;
+  The good will surely serve him, if they can;
+  The bad, when interest, or ambition guide,
+  And ’tis at once their interest and their pride:
+  But should both fail to take him to their care,
+  He boasts a greater friend, and both may spare.
+    Letters to man uncommon light dispense;
+  And what is virtue, but superior sense?
+  In parts and learning you who place your pride,
+  Your faults are crimes, your crimes are double dyed.
+  What is a scandal of the first renown,
+  But letter’d knaves, and atheists in a gown?
+    ’Tis harder far to please than give offence;
+  The least misconduct damns the brightest sense;
+  Each shallow pate, that cannot read your name,
+  Can read your life, and will be proud to blame.
+  Flagitious manners make impressions deep
+  On those, that o’er a page of Milton sleep:
+  Nor in their dulness think to save your shame,
+  True, these are fools; but wise men say the same.
+    Wits are a despicable race of men,
+  If they confine their talents to the pen;
+  When the man shocks us, while the writer shines,
+  Our scorn in life, our envy in his lines.
+  Yet, proud of parts, with prudence some dispense,
+  And play the fool, because they’re men of sense.
+  What instances bleed recent in each thought,
+  Of men to ruin by their genius brought!
+  Against their wills what numbers ruin shun,
+  Purely through want of wit to be undone!
+  Nature has shown, by making it so rare,
+  That wit’s a jewel which we need not wear.
+  Of plain sound sense life’s current coin is made;
+  With that we drive the most substantial trade.
+    Prudence protects and guides us; wit betrays;
+  A splendid source of ill ten thousand ways;
+  A certain snare to miseries immense;
+  A gay prerogative from common sense;
+  Unless strong judgment that wild thing can tame,
+  And break to paths of virtue and of fame.
+    But grant your judgment equal to the best,
+  Sense fills your head, and genius fires your breast;
+  Yet still forbear: your wit (consider well)
+  ’Tis great to show, but greater to conceal;
+  As it is great to seize the golden prize
+  Of place or power; but greater to despise.
+    If still you languish for an author’s name,
+  Think private merit less than public fame,
+  And fancy not to write is not to live;
+  Deserve, and take, the great prerogative.
+  But ponder what it is; how dear ’twill cost,
+  To write one page which you may justly boast.
+    Sense may be good, yet not deserve the press;
+  Who write, an awful character profess;
+  The world as pupil of their wisdom claim,
+  And for their stipend an immortal fame:
+  Nothing but what is solid or refin’d,
+  Should dare ask public audience of mankind.
+    Severely weigh your learning, and your wit:
+  Keep down your pride by what is nobly writ:
+  No writer, fam’d in your own way, pass o’er;
+  Much trust example, but reflection more:
+  More had the ancients writ, they more had taught;
+  Which shows some work is left for modern thought.
+    This weigh’d, perfection know; and known, adore;
+  Toil, burn for that; but do not aim at more;
+  Above, beneath it, the just limits fix;
+  And zealously prefer four lines to six.
+    Write, and re-write, blot out, and write again,
+  And for its swiftness ne’er applaud your pen.
+  Leave to the jockeys that Newmarket praise,
+  Slow runs the Pegasus that wins the bays.
+  Much time for immortality to pay,
+  Is just and wise; for less is thrown away.
+  Time only can mature the labouring brain;
+  Time is the father, and the midwife pain:
+  The same good sense that makes a man excel,
+  Still makes him doubt he ne’er has written well.
+  Downright impossibilities they seek;
+  What man can be immortal in a week?
+    Excuse no fault; though beautiful, ’twill harm;
+  One fault shocks more than twenty beauties charm.
+  Our age demands correctness; Addison
+  And you this commendable hurt have done.
+  Now writers find, as once Achilles found,
+  The whole is mortal, if a part’s unsound.
+    He that strikes out, and strikes not out the best,
+  Pours lustre in, and dignifies the rest:
+  Give e’er so little, if what’s right be there,
+  We praise for what you burn, and what you spare:
+  The part you burn, smells sweet before the shrine,
+  And is as incense to the part divine.
+    Nor frequent write, though you can do it well;
+  Men may too oft, though not too much, excel.
+  A few good works gain fame; more sink their price;
+  Mankind are fickle, and hate paying twice:
+  They granted you writ well, what can they more,
+  Unless you let them praise for giving o’er?
+    Do boldly what you do, and let your page
+  Smile, if it smiles, and if it rages, rage.
+  So faintly Lucius censures and commends,
+  That Lucius has no foes, except his friends.
+    Let satire less engage you than applause;
+  It shows a gen’rous mind to wink at flaws:
+  Is genius yours? be yours a glorious end,
+  Be your king’s, country’s, truth’s, religion’s friend;
+  The public glory by your own beget;
+  Run nations, run posterity, in debt.
+  And since the fam’d alone make others live,
+  First have that glory you presume to give.
+    If satire charms, strike faults, but spare the man
+  ’Tis dull to be as witty as you can.
+  Satire recoils whenever charg’d too high;
+  Round your own fame the fatal splinters fly.
+  As the soft plume gives swiftness to the dart,
+  Good breeding sends the satire to the heart.
+    Painters and surgeons may the structure scan;
+  Genius and morals be with you the man:
+  Defaults in those alone should give offence!
+  Who strikes the person, pleads his innocence.
+  My narrow minded satire can’t extend
+  To Codrus’ form; I’m not so much his friend:
+  Himself should publish that (the world agree)
+  Before his works, or in the pillory.
+  Let him be black, fair, tall, short, thin, or fat,
+  Dirty or clean, I find no theme in that.
+  Is that call’d humour? It has this pretence,
+  ’Tis neither virtue, breeding, wit, or sense.
+  Unless you boast the genius of a Swift,
+  Beware of humour, the dull rogue’s last shift.
+    Can others write like you? Your task give o’er,
+  ’Tis printing what was publish’d long before.
+  If nought peculiar through your labours run,
+  They’re duplicates, and twenty are but one.
+  Think frequently, think close, read nature, turn
+  Men’s manners o’er, and half your volumes burn;
+  To nurse with quick reflection be your strife,
+  Thoughts born from present objects, warm from life:
+  When most unsought, such inspirations rise,
+  Slighted by fools, and cherish’d by the wise:
+  Expect peculiar fame from these alone;
+  These make an author, these are all your own.
+    Life, like their Bibles, coolly men turn o’er;
+  Hence unexperienc’d children of threescore.
+  True, all men think of course, as all men dream;
+  And if they slightly think, ’tis much the same.
+    Letters admit not of a half renown;
+  They give you nothing, or they give a crown.
+  No work e’er gain’d true fame, or ever can,
+  But what did honour to the name of man.
+    Weighty the subject, cogent the discourse,
+  Clear be the style, the very sound of force;
+  Easy the conduct, simple the design,
+  Striking the moral, and the soul divine:
+  Let nature art, and judgment wit, exceed;
+  O’er learning reason reign; o’er that, your creed:
+  Thus virtue’s seeds, at once, and laurel’s, grow;
+  Do thus, and rise a Pope, or a Despreau:
+  And when your genius exquisitely shines,
+  Live up to the full lustre of your lines:
+  Parts but expose those men who virtue quit;
+  A fallen angel is a fallen wit;
+  And they plead Lucifer’s detested cause,
+  Who for bare talents challenge our applause.
+  Would you restore just honours to the pen?
+  From able writers rise to worthy men.
+    "Who’s this with nonsense, nonsense would restrain?
+  Who’s this (they cry) so vainly schools the vain?
+  Who damns our trash, with so much trash replete?
+  As, three ells round, huge Cheyne rails at meat?"
+    Shall I with Bavius then my voice exalt,
+  And challenge all mankind to find one fault?
+  With huge examens overwhelm my page,
+  And darken reason with dogmatic rage?
+  As if, one tedious volume writ in rhyme,
+  In prose a duller could excuse the crime:
+  Sure, next to writing, the most idle thing
+  Is gravely to harangue on what we sing.
+    At that tribunal stands the writing tribe,
+  Which nothing can intimidate or bribe:
+  Time is the judge; time has nor friend nor foe;
+  False fame must wither, and the true will grow.
+  Arm’d with this truth, all critics I defy;
+  For if I fall, by my own pen I die;
+  While snarlers strive with proud but fruitless pain
+  To wound immortals, or to slay the slain.
+    Sore prest with danger, and in awful dread
+  Of twenty pamphlets levell’d at my head,
+  Thus have I forg’d a buckler in my brain,
+  Of recent form, to serve me this campaign:
+  And safely hope to quit the dreadful field
+  Delug’d with ink, and sleep behind my shield;
+  Unless dire Codrus rouses to the fray
+  In all his might, and damns me—for a day.
+    As turns a flock of geese, and, on the green,
+  Poke out their foolish necks in awkward spleen,
+  (Ridiculous in rage!) to hiss, not bite,
+  So war their quills, when sons of dulness write.

+
+
+          AN EPISTLE TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE SIR ROBERT WALPOLE.
+
+
+               By Mr. Doddington, Afterwards Lord Melcombe.
+
+
+      —Quæ censet amiculus, ut si
+      Cæcus iter monstrare velit
+
+                                                                 —HOR.
+
+
+  Though strength of genius, by experience taught,
+  Gives thee to sound the depths of human thought,
+  To trace the various workings of the mind,
+  And rule the secret springs, that rule mankind;
+  (Rare gift!) yet, Walpole, wilt thou condescend
+  To listen, if thy unexperienc’d friend
+  Can aught of use impart, though void of skill,
+  And win attention by sincere good-will;
+  For friendship, sometimes, want of parts supplies,
+  The heart may furnish what the head denies.
+    As when the rapid Rhone, o’er swelling tides,
+  To grace old ocean’s court, in triumph rides,
+  Tho’ rich his source, he drains a thousand springs,
+  Nor scorns the tribute each small rivulet brings.
+    So thou shalt, hence, absorb each feeble ray,
+  Each dawn of meaning, in thy brighter day;
+  Shalt like, or, where thou canst not like, excuse,
+  Since no mean interest shall profane the muse,
+  No malice, wrapt in truth’s disguise, offend,
+  Nor flattery taint the freedom of the friend.
+  When first a generous mind surveys the great,
+  And views the crowds that on their fortune wait;
+  Pleas’d with the show (though little understood)
+  He only seeks the power, to do the good;
+  Thinks, till he tries, ’tis godlike to dispose,
+  And gratitude still springs, where bounty sows;
+  That every grant sincere affection wins,
+  And where our wants have end, our love begins:
+  But those who long the paths of state have trod,
+  Learn from the clamours of the murmuring crowd,
+  Which cramm’d, yet craving still, their gates besiege,
+  ’Tis easier far to give, than to oblige.
+    This of thy conduct seems the nicest part,
+  The chief perfection of the statesman’s art,
+  To give to fair assent a fairer face,
+  Or soften a refusal into grace:
+  But few there are that can be truly kind,
+  Or know to fix their favours on the mind;
+  Hence, some, whene’er they would oblige, offend,
+  And, while they make the fortune, lose the friend;
+  Still give, unthank’d; still squander, not bestow;
+  For great men want not, what to give, but how.
+    The race of men that follow courts, ’tis true,
+  Think all they get, and more than all, their due;
+  Still ask, but ne’er consult their own deserts,
+  And measure by their interest, not their parts:
+  From this mistake so many men we see
+  But ill become the thing they wish’d to be;
+  Hence discontent, and fresh demands arise,
+  More power, more favour in the great man’s eyes;
+  All feel a want, though none the cause suspects,
+  But hate their patron, for their own defects;
+  Such none can please, but who reforms their hearts,
+  And, when he gives them places, gives them parts.
+    As these o’erprize their worth, so sure the great
+  May sell their favour at too dear a rate;
+  When merit pines, while clamour is preferr’d,
+  And long attachment waits among the herd;
+  When no distinction, where distinction ’s due,
+  Marks from the many the superior few;
+  When strong cabal constrains them to be just,
+  And makes them give at last—because they must;
+  What hopes that men of real worth should prize,
+  What neither friendship gives, nor merit buys?
+    The man who justly o’er the whole presides,
+  His well-weigh’d choice with wise affection guides;
+  Knows when to stop with grace, and when advance,
+  Nor gives through importunity or chance;
+  But thinks how little gratitude is ow’d,
+  When favours are extorted, not bestow’d.
+    When, safe on shore ourselves, we see the crowd
+  Surround the great, importunate, and loud;
+  Through such a tumult, ’tis no easy task
+  To drive the man of real worth to ask:
+  Surrounded thus, and giddy with the show,
+  ’Tis hard for great men rightly to bestow;
+  From hence so few are skill’d, in either case,
+  To ask with dignity, or give with grace.
+  Sometimes the great, seduc’d by love of parts,
+  Consult our genius, and neglect our hearts;
+  Pleas’d with the glittering sparks that genius flings,
+  They lift us, towering on their eagle’s wings,
+  Mark out the flights by which themselves begun,
+  And teach our dazzled eyes to bear the sun;
+  Till we forget the hand that made us great,
+  And grow to envy, not to emulate:
+  To emulate, a generous warmth implies,
+  To reach the virtues, that make great men rise;
+  But envy wears a mean malignant face,
+  And aims not at their virtues—but their place.
+    Such to oblige, how vain is the pretence!
+  When every favour is a fresh offence,
+  By which superior power is still implied,
+  And, while it helps their fortune, hurts their pride.
+  Slight is the hate, neglect or hardships breed;
+  But those who hate from envy, hate indeed.
+    "Since so perplex’d the choice, whom shall we trust?"
+  Methinks I hear thee cry—The brave and just;
+  The man by no mean fears or hopes controll’d,
+  Who serves thee from affection, not for gold.
+    We love the honest, and esteem the brave,
+  Despise the coxcomb, but detest the knave;
+  No show of parts the truly wise seduce,
+  To think that knaves can be of real use.
+    The man, who contradicts the public voice,
+  And strives to dignify a worthless choice,
+  Attempts a task that on that choice reflects,
+  And lends us light to point out new defects.
+  One worthless man, that gains what he pretends,
+  Disgusts a thousand unpretending friends:
+  And since no art can make a counterpass,
+  Or add the weight of gold to mimic brass,
+  When princes to bad ore their image join,
+  They more debase the stamp, than raise the coin.
+    Be thine the care, true merit to reward
+  And gain the good—nor will that task be hard;
+  Souls form’d alike so quick by nature blend,
+  An honest man is more than half thy friend.
+    Him, no mean views, or haste to rise, shall sway,
+  Thy choice to sully, or thy trust betray:
+  Ambition, here, shall at due distance stand
+  Nor is wit dangerous in an honest hand:
+  Besides, if failings at the bottom lie,
+  We view those failings with a lover’s eye;
+  Though small his genius, let him do his best,
+  Our wishes and belief supply the rest.
+    Let others barter servile faith for gold,
+  His friendship is not to be bought or sold:
+  Fierce opposition he, unmov’d, shall face,
+  Modest in favour, daring in disgrace,
+  To share thy adverse fate alone, pretend;
+  In power, a servant; out of power, a friend.
+  Here pour thy favours in an ample flood,
+  Indulge thy boundless thirst of doing good:
+  Nor think that good to him alone confin’d;
+  Such to oblige, is to oblige mankind.
+  If thus thy mighty master’s steps thou trace,
+  The brave to cherish, and the good to grace;
+  Long shalt thou stand from rage and faction free,
+  And teach us long to love the king, through thee:
+  Or fall a victim dangerous to the foe,
+  And make him tremble when he strikes the blow;
+  While honour, gratitude, affection join
+  To deck thy close, and brighten thy decline;
+  (Illustrious doom!) the great, when this displac’d,
+  With friendship guarded, and with virtue grac’d,
+  In awful ruin, like Rome’s senate, fall,
+  The prey and worship of the wondering Gaul.
+    No doubt, to genius some reward is due,
+  (Excluding that, were satirizing you;)
+  But yet, believe thy undesigning friend,
+  When truth and genius for thy choice contend,
+  Tho’ both have weight when in the balance cast,
+  Let probity be first, and parts the last.
+    On these foundations if thou dar’st be great,
+  And check the growth of folly and deceit;
+  When party rage shall droop thro’ length of days,
+  And calumny be ripen’d into praise,
+  Then future times shall to thy worth allow
+  That fame, which envy would call flattery now.
+  Thus far my zeal, though for the task unfit,
+  Has pointed out the rocks where others split;
+  By that inspir’d, though stranger to the Nine,
+  And negligent of any fame—but thine,
+  I take the friendly, but superfluous part;
+  You act from nature what I teach from art.
+
+
+
+
+
+                          THE OLD MAN’S RELAPSE.
+
+
+               Verses Occasioned by the Foregoing Epistle.
+
+
+      Sopitos suscita ignes.
+
+                                                                —VIRG.
+
+
+  From man’s too curious and impatient sight,
+  The future, Heaven involves in thickest night.
+  Credit gray hairs: though freedom much we boast,
+  Some least perform, what they determine most.
+  What sudden changes our resolves betray!
+  To-morrow is the satire on to-day,
+  And shows its weakness. Whom shall men believe,
+  When constantly themselves, themselves deceive?
+
+    Long had I bid my once-loved muse adieu;
+  You warm old age; my passion burns anew.
+  How sweet your verse! how great your force of mind!
+  What power of words! what skill in dark mankind!
+  Polite the conduct; generous the design;
+  And beauty files, and strength sustains, each line.
+  Thus Mars and Venus are, once more, beset;
+  Your wit has caught them in its golden net.
+
+    But what strikes home with most exalted grace
+  Is, haughty genius taught to know its place;
+  And, where worth shines, its humbled crest to bend,
+  With zeal devoted to that godlike end.
+  When we discern so rich a vein of sense,
+  Through the smooth flow of purest eloquence;
+  ’Tis like the limpid streams of Tagus roll’d
+  O’er boundless wealth, o’er shining beds of gold.
+
+    But whence so finish’d, so refin’d a piece?
+  The tongue denies it to old Rome and Greece;
+  The genius bids the moderns doubt their claim,
+  And slowly take possession of the fame.
+  But I nor know, nor care, by whom ’twas writ,
+  Enough for me that ’tis from human wit;
+  That soothes my pride: all glory in the pen
+  Which has done honour to the race of men.
+
+    But this have others done; a like applause
+  An ancient and a modern Horace draws.(67)
+  But they to glory by degrees arose,
+  Meridian lustre you at once disclose.
+  ’Tis continence of mind, unknown before,
+  To write so well, and yet to write no more.
+  More bright renown can human nature claim,
+  Than to deserve, and fly immortal fame?
+
+    Next to the godlike praise of writing well,
+  Is on that praise with just delight to dwell.
+  O, for some God my drooping soul to raise!
+  That I might imitate, as well as praise;
+  For all commend: e’en foes your fame confess;
+  Nor would Augustus’ age have priz’d it less;
+  An age, which had not held its pride so long,
+  But for the want of so complete a song.
+
+    A golden period shall from you commence:
+  Peace shall be sign’d ’twixt wit and manly sense;
+  Whether your genius or your rank they view,
+  The muses find their Halifax in you.
+  Like him succeed! nor think my zeal is shown
+  For you; ’tis Britain’s interest, not your own;
+  For lofty stations are but golden snares,
+  Which tempt the great to fall in love with cares.
+
+    I would proceed, but age has chill’d my vein,
+  ’Twas a short fever, and I’m cool again.
+  Though life I hate, methinks I could renew
+  Its tasteless, painful course, to sing of you.
+  When such the subject, who shall curb his flight?
+  When such your genius, who shall dare to write?
+  In pure respect, I give my rhyming o’er,
+  And, to commend you most, commend no more.
+
+    Adieu, whoe’er thou art! on death’s pale coast
+  Erelong I’ll talk thee o’er with Dryden’s ghost;
+  The bard will smile. A last, a long farewell!
+  Henceforth I hide me in my dusky cell;
+  There wait the friendly stroke that sets me free,
+  And think of immortality and thee—
+  My strains are number’d by the tuneful Nine;
+  Each maid presents her thanks, and all present thee mine.

+
+                                  VERSES
+
+
+    Sent by Lord Melcombe to Dr. Young, Not Long Before His Lordship’s
+                                Death.(68)
+
+
+  Kind companion of my youth,
+  Lov’d for genius, worth, and truth!
+  Take what friendship can impart,
+  Tribute of a feeling heart;
+  Take the muse’s latest spark,(69)
+  Ere we drop into the dark.
+  He, who parts and virtue gave,
+  Bad thee look beyond the grave
+  Genius soars, and virtue guides;
+  Above, the love of God presides.
+  There’s a gulf ’twixt us and God;
+  Let the gloomy path be trod:
+  Why stand shivering on the shore?
+  Why not boldly venture o’er?
+  Where unerring virtue guides,
+  Let us have the winds and tides:
+  Safe, through seas of doubts and fears,
+  Rides the bark which virtue steers.

+
+   23 A new fund for Greenwich hospital, recommended from the throne.
+
+   24 Written soon after King George the First’s accession.
+
+   25 It is disputed amongst the critics who was the author of the book of
+      Job; some give it to Moses, some to others. As I was engaged in this
+      little performance, some arguments occurred to me which favour the
+      former of those opinions; which arguments I have flung into the
+      following notes, where little else is to be expected.
+
+   26 The Almighty’s speech, chapter xxxviii. &c. which is what I
+      paraphrase in this little work, is by much the finest part of the
+      noblest and most ancient poem in the world. Bishop Patrick says, its
+      grandeur is as much above all other poetry, as thunder is louder
+      than a whisper. In order to set this distinguished part of the poem
+      in a fuller light, and give the reader a clearer conception of it, I
+      have abridged the preceding and subsequent parts of the poem, and
+      joined them to it; so that this piece is a sort of an epitome of the
+      whole book of Job.
+
+      I use the word paraphrase, because I want another which might better
+      answer to the uncommon liberties I have taken. I have omitted,
+      added, and transposed. The mountain, the comet, the sun, and other
+      parts, are entirely added: those upon the peacock, the lion, &c. are
+      much enlarged; and I have thrown the whole into a method more suited
+      to our notions of regularity. The judicious, if they compare this
+      piece with the original, will, I flatter myself, find the reasons
+      for the great liberties I have indulged myself in through the whole.
+
+      Longinus has a chapter on interrogations, which shows that they
+      contribute much to the sublime. This speech of the Almighty is made
+      up of them. Interrogation seems indeed the proper style of majesty
+      incensed. It differs from other manner of reproof, as bidding a
+      person execute himself does from a common execution; for he that
+      asks the guilty a proper question, makes him, in effect, pass
+      sentence on himself.
+
+   27 The book of Job is well known to be dramatic, and, like the
+      tragedies of old Greece, is fiction built on truth. Probably this
+      most noble part of it, the Almighty speaking out of the whirlwind,
+      (so suitable to the after-practice of the Greek stage, when there
+      happened _dignus vindice nodus_,) is fictitious; but is a fiction
+      more agreeable to the time in which Job lived, than to any since.
+      Frequent before the law were the appearances of the Almighty after
+      this manner, Exod. c. xix. Ezek. c. i. &c. Hence is he said to
+      "dwell in thick darkness: and have his way in the whirlwind."
+
+   28 There is a very great air in all that precedes, but this is signally
+      sublime. We are struck with admiration to see the vast and
+      ungovernable ocean receiving commands, and punctually obeying them;
+      to find it like a managed horse, raging, tossing, and foaming, but
+      by the rule and direction of its master. This passage yields in
+      sublimity to that of "Let there be light," &c., so much only as the
+      absolute government of nature yields to the creation of it.
+
+   29 Another argument that Moses was the author, is, that most of the
+      creatures here mentioned are Egyptian. The reason given why the
+      raven is particularly mentioned as an object of the care of
+      Providence, is, because by her clamorous and importunate voice, she
+      particularly seems always calling upon it; thence [Greek: korassô, a
+      korax], Ælian. l. ii. c. 48, is "to ask earnestly." And since there
+      were ravens on the bank of the Nile more clamorous than the rest of
+      that species, those probably are meant in that place.
+
+   30 There are many instances of this bird’s stupidity: let two suffice.
+      First, it covers its head in the reeds, and thinks itself all out of
+      sight,
+
+
+                      Stat lumine clauso
+            Ridendum revoluta caput, creditque latere
+            Quæ non ipsa videt.
+
+                                                                Claud.
+
+
+      Secondly, they that go in pursuit of them, draw the skin of an
+      ostrich’s neck on one hand, which proves a sufficient lure to take
+      them with the other.
+
+      They have so little brain, that Heliogabalus had six hundred heads
+      for his supper.
+
+      Here we may observe, that our judicious as well as sublime author,
+      just touches the great points of distinction in each creature, and
+      then hastens to another. A description is exact when you cannot add,
+      but what is common to another thing; nor withdraw, but something
+      peculiarly belonging to the thing described. A likeness is lost in
+      too much description, as a meaning often in too much illustration.
+
+   31 Here is marked another peculiar quality of this creature, which
+      neither flies nor runs directly, but has a motion composed of both,
+      and, using its wings as sails, makes great speed.

+                                                       Claud. in Eutr.
+
+
+   32 Xenophon says, Cyrus had horses that could overtake the goat and the
+      wild ass; but none that could reach this creature. A thousand golden
+      ducats, or a hundred camels, was the stated price of a horse that
+      could equal their speed.
+
+   33 Though this bird is but just mentioned in my author, I could not
+      forbear going a little farther, and spreading those beautiful plumes
+      (which are there shut up) in half a dozen lines. The circumstance I
+      have marked of his opening his plumes to the sun is true. Expandit
+      colores adverso maxime sole, quia sic fulgentius radiant. Plin. l.
+      x. c. 20.
+
+   34 Thyanus (de Re Accip.) mentions a hawk that flew from Paris to
+      London in a night.
+
+      And the Egyptians, in regard to its swiftness, made it their symbol
+      for the wind; for which reason we may suppose the hawk, as well as
+      the crow above, to have been a bird of note in Egypt.
+
+   35 The eagle is said to be of so acute a sight, that when she is so
+      high in air that man cannot see her, she can discern the smallest
+      fish under water. My author accurately understood the nature of the
+      creatures he describes, and seems to have been a naturalist as well
+      as a poet, which the next note will confirm.
+
+   36 The meaning of this question is, Knowest thou the time and
+      circumstances of their bringing forth? For to know the time only was
+      easy, and had nothing extraordinary in it; but the circumstances had
+      something peculiarly expressive of God’s providence, which makes the
+      question proper in this place. Pliny observes, that the hind with
+      young is by instinct directed to a certain herb called Seselis,
+      which facilitates the birth. Thunder also (which looks like the more
+      immediate hand of Providence) has the same effect. Ps. xxix. In so
+      early an age to observe these things, may style our author a
+      naturalist.
+
+   37 Pursuing their prey by night is true of most wild beasts,
+      particularly the lion. Ps. cvi. 20. The Arabians have one among
+      their five hundred names for the lion, which signifies "the hunter
+      by moonshine."
+
+           38 Cephissi glaciale caput, quo suetus anhelam
+        Ferre sitim Python, amnemque avertere ponto.
+
+                                                     Stat. Theb. vii. 349.
+
+        Qui spiris tegeret montes, hauriret hiatu
+        Flumina, &c. Claud. Pref. in Ruf.
+
+      Let not then this hyperbole seem too much for an eastern poet,
+      though some commentators of name strain hard in this place for a new
+      construction, through fear of it.
+
+   39 The taking the crocodile is most difficult. Diodorus says, they are
+      not to be taken but by iron nets. When Augustus conquered Egypt, he
+      struck a medal, the impress of which was a crocodile chained to a
+      palm-tree, with this inscription, Nemo antea religavit.
+
+   40 This alludes to a custom of this creature, which is, when sated with
+      fish, to come ashore and sleep among the reeds.
+
+   41 The crocodile’s mouth is exceeding wide. When he gapes, says Pliny,
+      sic totum os. Martial says to his old woman,
+
+        Cum comparata rictibus tuis ora
+        Niliacus habet crocodilus angusta.
+
+      So that the expression there is barely just.
+
+   42 This too is nearer the truth than at first view may be imagined. The
+      crocodile, say the naturalists, lying long under water, and being
+      there forced to hold its breath, when it emerges, the breath long
+      represt is hot, and bursts out so violently, that it resembles fire
+      and smoke. The horse suppresses not his breath by any means so long,
+      neither is he so fierce and animated; yet the most correct of poets
+      ventures to use the same metaphor concerning him:
+
+        Collectumque premens volvit sub naribus ignem.
+
+      By this and the foregoing note I would caution against a false
+      opinion of the eastern boldness, from passages in them ill
+      understood.
+
+   43 "His eyes are like the eyelids of the morning." I think this gives
+      us as great an image of the thing it would express as can enter the
+      thought of man. It is not improbable that the Egyptians stole their
+      hieroglyphic for the morning, which is the crocodile’s eye, from
+      this passage, though no commentator, I have seen, mentions it. It is
+      easy to conceive how the Egyptians should be both readers and
+      admirers of the writings of Moses, whom I suppose the author of this
+      poem.
+
+      I have observed already that three or four of the creatures here
+      described are Egyptian; the two last are notoriously so, they are
+      the river-horse and the crocodile, those celebrated inhabitants of
+      the Nile; and on these two it is that our author chiefly dwells. It
+      would have been expected from an author more remote from that river
+      than Moses, in a catalogue of creatures produced to magnify their
+      Creator, to have dwelt on the two largest works of his hand, viz.
+      the elephant and the whale. This is so natural an expectation, that
+      some commentators have rendered behemoth and leviathan, the elephant
+      and whale, though the descriptions in our author will not admit of
+      it; but Moses being, as we may well suppose, under an immediate
+      terror of the hippopotamus and crocodile, from their daily mischiefs
+      and ravages around him, it is very accountable why he should permit
+      them to take place.
+
+   44 Though the report was propagated without the least truth, it may be
+      sufficient ground to justify a poetical fancy’s enlarging on it.
+
+   45 Lord Aubrey Beauclerk was the eighth son of the Duke of St. Albans,
+      who was one of the sons of King Charles the Second. He was born in
+      the year 1711; and, being regularly bred to the sea service, in 1731
+      he was appointed to the command of his majesty’s ship the Ludlow
+      Castle; and he commanded the Prince Frederick at the attack of the
+      harbour of Carthagena, March 24, 1741. This young nobleman was one
+      of the most promising commanders in the king’s service. When on the
+      desperate attack of the castle of Bocca Chica, at the entrance of
+      the said harbour, he lost his life, both his legs being first shot
+      off. The prose part of the inscription on his monument was the
+      production of Mrs. Mary Jones of Oxford; who also wrote a poem on
+      his death, printed in her Miscellanies, 8vo, 1752.—_R._

+
+           Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™
+
+
+Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic
+works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including
+obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the
+efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks
+of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance
+they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring
+that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for
+generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for
+Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations
+can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation web page at
+http://www.pglaf.org.

+
+
+  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+                                Foundation
+
+
+Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread
+public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the
+number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed
+in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment
+including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are
+particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States.
+Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable
+effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these
+requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not
+received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or
+determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit
+http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have
+not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against
+accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us
+with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any
+statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the

+      General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works.
+
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg™
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with
+anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™
+eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions,
+all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright
+notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance
+with any particular paper edition.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook’s eBook
+number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, compressed
+(zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected _editions_ of our eBooks replace the old file and take over the
+old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed.
+_Versions_ based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.

+
+
+  While others sing the fortune of the great;
+  Empire and arms, and all the pomp of state;
+  With Britain's hero(1) set their souls on fire,
+  And grow immortal as his deeds inspire;
+  I draw a deeper scene: a scene that yields
+  A louder trumpet, and more dreadful fields;
+  The world alarm'd, both earth and heaven o'erthrown,
+  And gasping nature's last tremendous groan;
+  Death's ancient sceptre broke, the teeming tomb,
+  The righteous Judge, and man's eternal doom.
+    'Twixt joy and pain I view the bold design,
+  And ask my anxious heart, if it be mine.
+  Whatever great or dreadful has been done
+  Within the sight of conscious stars or sun,
+  Is far beneath my daring: I look down
+  On all the splendours of the British crown.
+  This globe is for my verse a narrow bound;
+  Attend me, all the glorious worlds around!
+  O! all ye angels, howsoe'er disjoin'd,
+  Of every various order, place, and kind,
+  Hear, and assist, a feeble mortal's lays;
+  'Tis your Eternal King I strive to praise.
+    But chiefly thou, great Ruler! Lord of all!
+  Before whose throne archangels prostrate fall;
+  If at thy nod, from discord, and from night,
+  Sprang beauty, and yon sparkling worlds of light,
+  Exalt e'en me; all inward tumults quell;
+  The clouds and darkness of my mind dispel;
+  To my great subject thou my breast inspire,
+  And raise my lab'ring soul with equal fire.
+    Man, bear thy brow aloft, view every grace
+  In God's great offspring, beauteous nature's face:
+  See spring's gay bloom; see golden autumn's store;
+  See how earth smiles, and hear old ocean roar.
+  Leviathans but heave their cumbrous mail,
+  It makes a tide, and wind-bound navies sail.
+  Here, forests rise, the mountains awful pride;
+  Here, rivers measure climes, and worlds divide;
+  There, valleys fraught with gold's resplendent seeds,
+  Hold kings, and kingdoms' fortunes, in their beds:
+  There, to the skies, aspiring hills ascend,
+  And into distant lands their shades extend.
+  View cities, armies, fleets; of fleets the pride,
+  See Europe's law, in Albion's channel ride.
+  View the whole earth's vast landscape unconfin'd,
+  Or view in Britain all her glories join'd.
+    Then let the firmament thy wonder raise;
+  'Twill raise thy wonder, but transcend thy praise.
+  How far from east to west? the lab'ring eye
+  Can scarce the distant azure bounds descry:
+  Wide theatre! where tempests play at large,
+  And God's right hand can all its wrath discharge.
+  Mark how those radiant lamps inflame the pole,
+  Call forth the seasons, and the year control:
+  They shine thro' time, with an unalter'd ray:
+  See this grand period rise, and that decay:
+  So vast, this world's a grain; yet myriads grace,
+  With golden pomp, the throng'd ethereal space;
+  So bright, with such a wealth of glory stor'd,
+  'Twere sin in heathens not to have ador'd.
+    How great, how firm, how sacred, all appears!
+  How worthy an immortal round of years!
+  Yet all must drop, as autumn's sickliest grain,
+  And earth and firmament be sought in vain:
+  The tract forgot where constellations shone,
+  Or where the Stuarts fill'd an awful throne:
+  Time shall be slain, all nature be destroy'd,
+  Nor leave an atom in the mighty void.
+    Sooner, or later, in some future date,
+  (A dreadful secret in the book of fate!)
+  This hour, for aught all human wisdom knows,
+  Or when ten thousand harvests more have rose;
+  When scenes are chang'd on this revolving earth,
+  Old empires fall, and give new empires birth;
+  While other Bourbons rule in other lands,
+  And (if man's sin forbids not) other Annes;
+  While the still busy world is treading o'er
+  The paths they trod five thousand years before,
+  Thoughtless as those who now life's mazes run,
+  Of earth dissolv'd, or an extinguish'd sun;
+  (Ye sublunary worlds, awake, awake!
+  Ye rulers of the nation, hear, and shake!)
+  Thick clouds of darkness shall arise on day;
+  In sudden night all earth's dominions lay;
+  Impetuous winds the scatter'd forests rend;
+  Eternal mountains, like their cedars, bend:
+  The valleys yawn, the troubled ocean roar,
+  And break the bondage of his wonted shore;
+  A sanguine stain the silver moon o'erspread;
+  Darkness the circle of the sun invade;
+  From inmost heaven incessant thunders roll,
+  And the strong echo bound from pole to pole.
+    When, lo, a mighty trump, one half conceal'd
+  In clouds, one half to mortal eye reveal'd,
+  Shall pour a dreadful note; the piercing call
+  Shall rattle in the centre of the ball;
+  Th' extended circuit of creation shake,
+  The living die with fear, the dead awake.
+    Oh powerful blast! to which no equal sound
+  Did e'er the frighted ear of nature wound,
+  Tho' rival clarions have been strain'd on high,
+  And kindled wars immortal thro' the sky,
+  Tho' God's whole enginery discharg'd, and all
+  The rebel angels bellow'd in their fall.
+    Have angels sinn'd? and shall not man beware?
+  How shall a son of earth decline the snare?
+  Not folded arms, and slackness of the mind,
+  Can promise for the safety of mankind:
+  None are supinely good: thro' care and pain
+  And various arts, the steep ascent we gain.
+  This is the scene of combat, not of rest,
+  Man's is laborious happiness at best;
+  On this side death his dangers never cease,
+  His joys are joys of conquest, not of peace.
+    If then, obsequious to the will of fate,
+  And bending to the terms of human state,
+  When guilty joys invite us to their arms,
+  When beauty smiles, or grandeur spreads her charms,
+  The conscious soul would this great scene display,
+  Call down th' immortal hosts in dread array,
+  The trumpet sound, the Christian banner spread,
+  And raise from silent graves the trembling dead;
+  Such deep impression would the picture make,
+  No power on earth her firm resolve could shake;
+  Engag'd with angels she would greatly stand,
+  And look regardless down on sea and land;
+  Not proffer'd worlds her ardour could restrain,
+  And death might shake his threat'ning lance in vain!
+  Her certain conquest would endear the sight,
+  And danger serve but to exalt delight.
+  Instructed thus to shun the fatal spring,
+  Whence flow the terrors of that day I sing;
+  More boldly we our labours may pursue,
+  And all the dreadful image set to view.
+    The sparkling eye, the sleek and painted breast,
+  The burnish'd scale, curl'd train, and rising crest,
+  All that is lovely in the noxious snake,
+  Provokes our fear, and bids us flee the brake:
+  The sting once drawn, his guiltless beauties rise
+  In pleasing lustre, and detain our eyes;
+  We view with joy, what once did horror move,
+  And strong aversion softens into love.
+    Say then, my muse, whom dismal scenes delight,
+  Frequent at tombs, and in the realms of night;
+  Say, melancholy maid, if bold to dare
+  The last extremes of terror and despair;
+  Oh say, what change on earth, what heart in man,
+  This blackest moment since the world began.
+    Ah mournful turn! the blissful earth, who late
+  At leisure on her axle roll'd in state;
+  While thousand golden planets knew no rest,
+  Still onward in their circling journey prest;
+  A grateful change of seasons some to bring,
+  And sweet vicissitude of fall and spring:
+  Some thro' vast oceans to conduct the keel,
+  And some those watery worlds to sink, or swell:
+  Around her some their splendours to display,
+  And gild her globe with tributary day:
+  This world so great, of joy the bright abode,
+  Heaven's darling child, and fav'rite of her God,
+  Now looks an exile from her father's care,
+  Deliver'd o'er to darkness and despair.
+  No sun in radiant glory shines on high;
+  No light, but from the terrors of the sky:
+  Fall'n are her mountains, her fam'd rivers lost,
+  And all into a second chaos tost:
+  One universal ruin spreads abroad;
+  Nothing is safe beneath the throne of God.
+    Such, earth, thy fate: what then canst thou afford
+  To comfort and support thy guilty lord?
+  Man, haughty lord of all beneath the moon,
+  How must he bend his soul's ambition down
+  Prostrate, the reptile own, and disavow
+  His boasted stature, and assuming brow?
+  Claim kindred with the clay, and curse his form,
+  That speaks distinction from his sister worm?
+  What dreadful pangs the trembling heart invade?
+  Lord, why dost thou forsake whom thou hast made?
+  Who can sustain thy anger? who can stand
+  Beneath the terrors of thy lifted hand?
+  It flies the reach of thought; oh, save me, Power
+  Of powers supreme, in that tremendous hour!
+  Thou who beneath the frown of fate hast stood,
+  And in thy dreadful agony sweat blood;
+  Thou, who for me, thro' every throbbing vein,
+  Hast felt the keenest edge of mortal pain;
+  Whom death led captive thro' the realms below,
+  And taught those horrid mysteries of woe;
+  Defend me, O my God! Oh, save me, Power
+  Of powers supreme, in that tremendous hour!
+  From east to west they fly, from pole to line,
+  Imploring shelter from the wrath divine;
+  Beg flames to wrap, or whelming seas to sweep,
+  Or rocks to yawn, compassionately deep;
+  Seas cast the monster forth to meet his doom,
+  And rocks but prison up for wrath to come.
+    So fares a traitor to an earthly crown;
+  While death sits threat'ning in his prince's frown
+  His heart's dismay'd; and now his fears command,
+  To change his native for a distant land:
+  Swift orders fly, the king's severe decree
+  Stands in the channel, and locks up the sea;
+  The port he seeks, obedient to her lord,
+  Hurls back the rebel to his lifted sword.
+    But why this idle toil to paint that day?
+  This time elaborately thrown away?
+  Words all in vain pant after the distress,
+  The height of eloquence would make it less;
+  Heavens! how the good man trembles!--
+    And is there a last day? and must there come
+  A sure, a fix'd, inexorable doom?
+  Ambition swell, and, thy proud sails to show,
+  Take all the winds that vanity can blow;
+  Wealth on a golden mountain blazing stand,
+  And reach an India forth in either hand;
+  Spread all thy purple clusters, tempting vine,
+  And thou, more dreaded foe, bright beauty, shine;
+  Shine all; in all your charms together rise;
+  That all, in all your charms, I may despise;
+  While I mount upward on a strong desire,
+  Borne, like Elijah, in a car of fire.
+    In hopes of glory to be quite involv'd!
+  To smile at death! to long to be dissolv'd!
+  From our decays a pleasure to receive!
+  And kindle into transport at a grave!
+  What equals this? And shall the victor now
+  Boast the proud laurels on his loaded brow?
+  Religion! Oh, thou cherub, heavenly bright!
+  Oh, joys unmix'd, and fathomless delight!
+  Thou, thou art all; nor find I in the whole
+  Creation aught, but God and my own soul.
+    For ever, then, my soul, thy God adore,
+  Nor let the brute creation praise him more.
+  Shall things inanimate my conduct blame,
+  And flush my conscious cheek with spreading shame?
+  They all for him pursue, or quit, their end
+  The mountain flames their burning power suspend;
+  In solid heaps th' unfrozen billows stand,
+  To rest and silence aw'd by his command:
+  Nay, the dire monsters that infest the flood,
+  By nature dreadful, and athirst for blood,
+  His will can calm, their savage tempers bind,
+  And turn to mild protectors of mankind.
+  Did not the prophet this great truth maintain
+  In the deep chambers of the gloomy main;
+  When darkness round him all her horrors spread,
+  And the loud ocean bellow'd o'er his head?
+    When now the thunder roars, the lightning flies,
+  And all the warring winds tumultuous rise;
+  When now the foaming surges, tost on high,
+  Disclose the sands beneath, and touch the sky;
+  When death draws near, the mariners aghast,
+  Look back with terror on their actions past;
+  Their courage sickens into deep dismay,
+  Their hearts, thro' fear and anguish, melt away;
+  Nor tears, nor prayers, the tempest can appease;
+  Now they devote their treasure to the seas;
+  Unload their shatter'd barque, tho' richly fraught,
+  And think the hopes of life are cheaply bought
+  With gems and gold; but oh, the storm so high!
+  Nor gems nor gold the hopes of life can buy.
+    The trembling prophet then, themselves to save,
+  They headlong plunge into the briny wave;
+  Down he descends, and, booming o'er his head,
+  The billows close; he's number'd with the dead.
+  (Hear, O ye just! attend, ye virtuous few!
+  And the bright paths of piety pursue)
+  Lo! the great Ruler of the world, from high,
+  Looks smiling down with a propitious eye,
+  Covers his servant with his gracious hand,
+  And bids tempestuous nature silent stand;
+  Commands the peaceful waters to give place,
+  Or kindly fold him in a soft embrace:
+  He bridles in the monsters of the deep:
+  The bridled monsters awful distance keep:
+  Forget their hunger, while they view their prey;
+  And guiltless gaze, and round the stranger play.
+    But still arise new wonders; nature's Lord
+  Sends forth into the deep his powerful word,
+  And calls the great leviathan: the great
+  Leviathan attends in all his state;
+  Exults for joy, and, with a mighty bound,
+  Makes the sea shake, and heaven and earth resound;
+  Blackens the waters with the rising sand.
+  And drives vast billows to the distant land.
+    As yawns an earthquake, when imprison'd air
+  Struggles for vent, and lays the centre bare,
+  The whale expands his jaws' enormous size;
+  The prophet views the cavern with surprise;
+  Measures his monstrous teeth, afar descried,
+  And rolls his wond'ring eyes from side to side:
+  Then takes possession of the spacious seat,
+  And sails secure within the dark retreat.
+    Now is he pleas'd the northern blast to hear,
+  And hangs on liquid mountains, void of fear;
+  Or falls immers'd into the depths below,
+  Where the dead silent waters never flow;
+  To the foundation of the hills convey'd,
+  Dwells in the shelving mountain's dreadful shade:
+  Where plummet never reach'd, he draws his breath,
+  And glides serenely thro' the paths of death.
+    Two wondrous days and nights thro' coral groves,
+  Thro' labyrinths of rocks and sands, he roves:
+  When the third morning with its level rays
+  The mountains gilds, and on the billows plays,
+  It sees the king of waters rise and pour
+  His sacred guest uninjur'd on the shore:
+  A type of that great blessing, which the muse
+  In her next labour ardently pursues.

+
+
+    ----We hope that the departed will rise again from the dust: after
+    which, like the gods, they will be immortal.
+
+
+  Now man awakes, and from his silent bed,
+  Where he has slept for ages, lifts his head;
+  Shakes off the slumber of ten thousand years,
+  And on the borders of new worlds appears.
+  Whate'er the bold, the rash, adventure cost,
+  In wide eternity I dare be lost.
+  The muse is wont in narrow bounds to sing,
+  To teach the swain, or celebrate the king.
+  I grasp the whole, no more to parts confin'd,
+  I lift my voice, and sing to humankind:
+  I sing to men and angels; angels join,
+  While such the theme, their sacred songs with mine.
+    Again the trumpet's intermitted sound
+  Rolls the wide circuit of creation round,
+  A universal concourse to prepare
+  Of all that ever breath'd the vital air:
+  In some wide field, which active whirlwinds sweep,
+  Drive cities, forests, mountains, to the deep,
+  To smooth and lengthen out th' unbounded space,
+  And spread an area for all human race.
+    Now monuments prove faithful to their trust,
+  And render back their long committed dust.
+  Now charnels rattle; scatter'd limbs, and all
+  The various bones, obsequious to the call,
+  Self-mov'd, advance; the neck perhaps to meet
+  The distant head; the distant legs the feet.
+  Dreadful to view, see thro' the dusky sky
+  Fragments of bodies in confusion fly,
+  To distant regions journeying, there to claim
+  Deserted members, and complete the frame.
+    When the world bow'd to Rome's almighty sword,
+  Rome bow'd to Pompey, and confess'd her lord.
+  Yet one day lost, this deity below
+  Became the scorn and pity of his foe.
+  His blood a traitor's sacrifice was made,
+  And smok'd indignant on a ruffian's blade.
+  No trumpet's sound, no gasping army's yell,
+  Bid, with due horror, his great soul farewell.
+  Obscure his fall! all welt'ring in his gore,
+  His trunk was cast to perish on the shore!
+  While Julius frown'd the bloody monster dead,
+  Who brought the world in his great rival's head.
+  This sever'd head and trunk shall join once more,
+  Tho' realms now rise between, and oceans roar.
+  The trumpet's sound each fragrant mote shall hear,
+  Or fix'd in earth, or if afloat in air,
+  Obey the signal wafted in the wind,
+  And not one sleeping atom lag behind.
+    So swarming bees, that on a summer's day
+  In airy rings, and wild meanders play,
+  Charm'd with the brazen sound, their wand'rings end,
+  And, gently circling, on a bough descend.
+    The body thus renew'd, the conscious soul,
+  Which has perhaps been flutt'ring near the pole,
+  Or midst the burning planets wond'ring stray'd,
+  Or hover'd o'er where her pale corpse was laid;
+  Or rather coasted on her final state,
+  And fear'd or wish'd for her appointed fate:
+  This soul, returning with a constant flame,
+  Now weds for ever her immortal frame.
+  Life, which ran down before, so high is wound,
+  The springs maintain an everlasting round.
+    Thus a frail model of the work design'd
+  First takes a copy of the builder's mind,
+  Before the structure firm with lasting oak,
+  And marble bowels of the solid rock,
+  Turns the strong arch, and bids the columns rise,
+  And bear the lofty palace to the skies;
+  The wrongs of time enabled to surpass,
+  With bars of adamant, and ribs of brass.
+    That ancient, sacred, and illustrious dome,(2)
+  Where soon or late fair Albion's heroes come,
+  From camps, and courts, tho' great, or wise, or just,
+  To feed the worm, and moulder into dust;
+  That solemn mansion of the royal dead,
+  Where passing slaves o'er sleeping monarchs tread,
+  Now populous o'erflows: a num'rous race
+  Of rising kings fill all th' extended space:
+  A life well spent, not the victorious sword,
+  Awards the crown, and styles the greater lord.
+    Nor monuments alone, and burial-earth,
+  Labours with man to this his second birth;
+  But where gay palaces in pomp arise,
+  And gilded theatres invade the skies,
+  Nations shall wake, whose unrespected bones
+  Support the pride of their luxurious sons.
+  The most magnificent and costly dome
+  Is but an upper chamber to the tomb.
+  No spot on earth but has supplied a grave,
+  And human skulls the spacious ocean pave.
+  All's full of man; and at this dreadful turn,
+  The swarm shall issue, and the hive shall burn.
+    Not all at once, nor in like manner, rise:
+  Some lift with pain their slow, unwilling eyes:
+  Shrink backward from the terror of the light,
+  And bless the grave, and call for lasting night.
+  Others, whose long-attempted virtue stood
+  Fix'd as a rock, and broke the rushing flood,
+  Whose firm resolve, nor beauty could melt down,
+  Nor raging tyrants from their posture frown;
+  Such, in this day of horrors, shall be seen
+  To face the thunders with a godlike mien;
+  The planets drop, their thoughts are fixt above;
+  The centre shakes, their hearts disdain to move;
+  An earth dissolving, and a heaven thrown wide,
+  A yawning gulf, and fiends on every side,
+  Serene they view, impatient of delay,
+  And bless the dawn of everlasting day.
+    Here, greatness prostrate falls; there, strength gives place;
+  Here, lazars smile; there, beauty hides her face.
+  Christians, and Jews, and Turks, and Pagans stand,
+  A blended throng, one undistinguish'd band.
+  Some who, perhaps, by mutual wounds expir'd,
+  With zeal for their distinct persuasions fir'd,
+  In mutual friendship their long slumber break,
+  And hand in hand their Saviour's love partake.
+    But none are flush'd with brighter joy, or, warm
+  With juster confidence, enjoy the storm,
+  Than those, whose pious bounties, unconfin'd,
+  Have made them public fathers of mankind.
+  In that illustrious rank, what shining light
+  With such distinguish'd glory fills my sight?
+  Bend down, my grateful muse, that homage show,
+  Which to such worthies thou art proud to owe.
+  Wickham! Fox! Chichley! hail, illustrious names,(3)
+  Who to far distant times dispense your beams;
+  Beneath your shades, and near your crystal springs,
+  I first presum'd to touch the trembling strings.
+  All hail, thrice honour'd! 'Twas your great renown
+  To bless a people, and oblige a crown.
+  And now you rise, eternally to shine,
+  Eternally to drink the rays divine.
+    Indulgent God! Oh how shall mortal raise
+  His soul to due returns of grateful praise,
+  For bounty so profuse to humankind,
+  Thy wondrous gift of an eternal mind?
+  Shall I, who, some few years ago, was less
+  Than worm, or mite, or shadow can express,
+  Was nothing; shall I live, when every fire
+  And every star shall languish and expire?
+  When earth's no more, shall I survive above,
+  And thro' the radiant files of angels move?
+  Or, as before the throne of God I stand,
+  See new worlds rolling from his spacious hand,
+  Where our adventures shall perhaps be taught,
+  As we now tell how Michael sung or fought?
+  All that has being in full concert join,
+  And celebrate the depths of love divine!
+    But oh! before this blissful state, before
+  Th' aspiring soul this wondrous height can soar,
+  The Judge, descending, thunders from afar,
+  And all mankind is summon'd to the bar.
+    This mighty scene I next presume to draw:
+  Attend, great Anna, with religious awe.
+  Expect not here the known successful arts
+  To win attention, and command our hearts:
+  Fiction, be far away; let no machine
+  Descending here, no fabled god, be seen;
+  Behold the God of gods indeed descend,
+  And worlds unnumber'd his approach attend!
+    Lo! the wide theatre, whose ample space
+  Must entertain the whole of human race,
+  At heaven's all-powerful edict is prepar'd,
+  And fenc'd around with an immortal guard.
+  Tribes, provinces, dominions, worlds, o'erflow
+  The mighty plain, and deluge all below:
+  And every age, and nation, pours along,
+  Nimrod and Bourbon mingle in the throng:
+  Adam salutes his youngest son; no sign,
+  Of all those ages, which their births disjoin.
+    How empty learning, and how vain is art,
+  But as it mends the life, and guides the heart!
+  What volumes have been swell'd, what time been spent,
+  To fix a hero's birth-day, or descent!
+  What joy must it now yield, what rapture raise,
+  To see the glorious race of ancient days!
+  To greet those worthies who perhaps have stood
+  Illustrious on record before the flood!
+  Alas! a nearer care your soul demands,
+  C�sar unnoted in your presence stands.
+    How vast the concourse! not in number more
+  The waves that break on the resounding shore,
+  The leaves that tremble in the shady grove,
+  The lamps that gild the spangled vaults above:
+  Those overwhelming armies, whose command
+  Said to one empire, fall; another, stand:
+  Whose rear lay wrapt in night, while breaking dawn
+  Rous'd the broad front, and call'd the battle on:
+  Great Xerxes' world in arms, proud Cann�'s field,
+  Where Carthage taught victorious Rome to yield,
+  (Another blow had broke the fates' decree,
+  And earth had wanted her fourth monarchy,)
+  Immortal Blenheim, fam'd Ramillia's host,
+  They all are here, and here they all are lost:
+  Their millions swell to be discern'd in vain,
+  Lost as a billow in th' unbounded main.
+    This echoing voice now rends the yielding air,
+  For judgment, judgment, sons of men, prepare!
+  Earth shakes anew; I hear her groans profound;
+  And hell through all her trembling realms resound.
+    Whoe'er thou art, thou greatest power of earth,
+  Blest with most equal planets at thy birth;
+  Whose valour drew the most successful sword,
+  Most realms united in one common lord;
+  Who, on the day of triumph, saidst, Be thine
+  The skies, Jehovah, all this world is mine:
+  Dare not to lift thine eye--Alas! my muse,
+  How art thou lost! what numbers canst thou choose?
+    A sudden blush inflames the waving sky,
+  And now the crimson curtains open fly;
+  Lo! far within, and far above all height,
+  Where heaven's great Sov'reign reigns in worlds of light,
+  Whence nature he informs, and with one ray
+  Shot from his eye, does all her works survey,
+  Creates, supports, confounds! Where time, and place,
+  Matter, and form, and fortune, life, and grace,
+  Wait humbly at the footstool of their God,
+  And move obedient at his awful nod;
+  Whence he beholds us vagrant emmets crawl
+  At random on this air-suspended ball
+  (Speck of creation): if he pour one breath,
+  The bubble breaks, and 'tis eternal death.
+    Thence issuing I behold (but mortal sight
+  Sustains not such a rushing sea of light!)
+  I see, on an empyreal flying throne
+  Sublimely rais'd, heaven's everlasting Son;
+  Crown'd with that majesty which form'd the world,
+  And the grand rebel flaming downward hurl'd.
+  Virtue, dominion, praise, omnipotence,
+  Support the train of their triumphant prince.
+  A zone, beyond the thought of angels bright,
+  Around him, like the zodiac, winds its light.
+  Night shades the solemn arches of his brows,
+  And in his cheek the purple morning glows.
+  Where'er serene, he turns propitious eyes,
+  Or we expect, or find, a paradise:
+  But if resentment reddens their mild beams,
+  The Eden kindles, and the world's in flames.
+  On one hand, knowledge shines in purest light;
+  On one, the sword of justice fiercely bright.
+  Now bend the knee in sport, present the reed;
+  Now tell the scourg'd impostor he shall bleed!
+    Thus glorious thro' the courts of heav'n, the source
+  Of life and death eternal bends his course;
+  Loud thunders round him roll, and lightnings play;
+  Th' angelic host is rang'd in bright array:
+  Some touch the string, some strike the sounding shell,
+  And mingling voices in rich concert swell;
+  Voices seraphic; blest with such a strain,
+  Could Satan hear, he were a god again.
+    Triumphant King of Glory! Soul of bliss!
+  What a stupendous turn of fate is this!
+  O! whither art thou rais'd above the scorn
+  And indigence of him in Bethlem born;
+  A needless, helpless, unaccounted guest,
+  And but a second to the fodder'd beast!
+  How chang'd from him, who, meekly prostrate laid,
+  Vouchsaf'd to wash the feet himself had made!
+  From him who was betray'd, forsook, denied,
+  Wept, languish'd, pray'd, bled, thirsted, groan'd, and died;
+  Hung pierc'd and bare, insulted by the foe,
+  All heaven in tears above, earth unconcern'd below!
+    And was't enough to bid the sun retire?
+  Why did not nature at thy groan expire?
+  I see, I hear, I feel, the pangs divine;
+  The world is vanish'd,--I am wholly thine.
+    Mistaken Caiaphas! Ah! which blasphem'd;
+  Thou, or thy pris'ner? which shall be condemn'd?
+  Well might'st thou rend thy garments, well exclaim;
+  Deep are the horrors of eternal flame!
+  But God is good! 'Tis wondrous all! Ev'n he
+  Thou gav'st to death, shame, torture, died for thee.
+    Now the descending triumph stops its flight
+  From earth full twice a planetary height.
+  There all the clouds condens'd, two columns raise
+  Distinct with orient veins, and golden blaze.
+  One fix'd on earth, and one in sea, and round
+  Its ample foot the swelling billows sound.
+  These an immeasurable arch support,
+  The grand tribunal of this awful court.
+  Sheets of bright azure, from the purest sky,
+  Stream from the crystal arch, and round the columns fly.
+  Death, wrapt in chains, low at the basis lies,
+  And on the point of his own arrow dies.
+    Here high enthron'd th' eternal Judge is plac'd,
+  With all the grandeur of his godhead grac'd;
+  Stars on his robes in beauteous order meet,
+  And the sun burns beneath his awful feet.
+    Now an archangel eminently bright,
+  From off his silver staff of wondrous height,
+  Unfurls the Christian flag, which waving flies,
+  And shuts and opens more than half the skies:
+  The cross so strong a red, it sheds a stain,
+  Where'er it floats, on earth, and air, and main;
+  Flushes the hill, and sets on fire the wood,
+  And turns the deep-dy'd ocean, into blood.
+    Oh formidable glory! dreadful bright!
+  Refulgent torture to the guilty sight.
+  Ah turn, unwary muse, nor dare reveal
+  What horrid thoughts with the polluted dwell.
+  Say not, (to make the sun shrink in his beam,)
+  Dare not affirm, they wish it all a dream;
+  With, or their souls may with their limbs decay,
+  Or God be spoil'd of his eternal sway.
+  But rather, if thou know'st the means, unfold
+  How they with transport might the scene behold.
+    Ah how! but by repentance, by a mind
+  Quick, and severe its own offence to find?
+  By tears, and groans, and never-ceasing care,
+  And all the pious violence of prayer?
+  Thus then, with fervency till now unknown,
+  I cast my heart before th' eternal throne,
+  In this great temple, which the skies surround,
+  For homage to its lord, a narrow bound.
+    "O thou! whose balance does the mountains weigh,
+  Whose will the wild tumultuous seas obey,
+  Whose breath can turn these watery worlds to flame,
+  That flame to tempest, and that tempest tame;
+  Earth's meanest son, all trembling, prostrate falls,
+  And on the boundless of thy goodness calls.
+    "Oh! give the winds all past offence to sweep,
+  To scatter wide, or bury in the deep:
+  Thy power, my weakness, may I ever see,
+  And wholly dedicate my soul to thee:
+  Reign o'er my will; my passions ebb and flow
+  At thy command, nor human motive know!
+  If anger boil, let anger be my praise,
+  And sin the graceful indignation raise.
+  My love be warm to succour the distress'd,
+  And lift the burden from the soul oppress'd.
+  Oh may my understanding ever read
+  This glorious volume, which thy wisdom made!
+  Who decks the maiden spring with flow'ry pride?
+  Who calls forth summer, like a sparkling bride?
+  Who joys the mother autumn's bed to crown?
+  And bids old winter lay her honours down?
+  Not the great Ottoman, or greater Czar,
+  Not Europe's arbitress of peace and war.
+  May sea and land, and earth and heaven be join'd
+  To bring th' eternal author to my mind!
+  When oceans roar, or awful thunders roll,
+  May thoughts of thy dread vengeance shake my soul!
+  When earth's in bloom, or planets proudly shine,
+  Adore, my heart, the majesty divine!
+    "Thro' every scene of life, or peace, or war,
+  Plenty, or want, thy glory be my care!
+  Shine we in arms? or sing beneath our vine?
+  Thine is the vintage, and the conquest thine:
+  Thy pleasure points the shaft, and bends the bow;
+  The cluster blasts, or bids it brightly glow:
+  'Tis thou that lead'st our powerful armies forth,
+  And giv'st great Anne thy sceptre o'er the north.
+    "Grant I may ever, at the morning ray,
+  Open with prayer the consecrated day;
+  Tune thy great praise, and bid my soul arise,
+  And with the mounting sun ascend the skies:
+  As that advances, let my zeal improve,
+  And glow with ardour of consummate love;
+  Nor cease at eve, but with the setting sun
+  My endless worship shall be still begun.
+    "And, oh! permit the gloom of solemn night
+  To sacred thought may forcibly invite.
+  When this world's shut, and awful planets rise,
+  Call on our minds, and raise them to the skies;
+  Compose our souls with a less dazzling sight,
+  And show all nature in a milder light;
+  How every boisterous thought in calm subsides!
+  How the smooth'd spirit into goodness glides!
+  O how divine! to tread the milky way,
+  To the bright palace of the lord of day;
+  His court admire, or for his favour sue,
+  Or leagues of friendship with his saints renew;
+  Pleas'd to look down, and see the world asleep,
+  While I long vigils to its founder keep!
+    "Canst thou not shake the centre? Oh! control,
+  Subdue by force, the rebel in my soul:
+  Thou, who canst still the raging of the flood,
+  Restrain the various tumults of my blood;
+  Teach me, with equal firmness, to sustain
+  Alluring pleasure, and assaulting pain.
+  O may I pant for thee in each desire!
+  And with strong faith foment the holy fire!
+  Stretch out my soul in hope, and grasp the prize,
+  Which in eternity's deep bosom lies!
+  At the great day of recompense behold,
+  Devoid of fear, the fatal book unfold!
+  Then wafted upward to the blissful seat,
+  From age to age, my grateful song repeat;
+  My light, my life, my God, my Saviour see,
+  And rival angels in the praise of thee."
+
+
+
+
+                                Book III.
+
+
+      Esse quoque in fatis reminiscitur, affore tempus,
+      Quo mare, quo tellus, correptaque regia c�li
+      Ardeat; et mundi moles operosa laboret.

+                                                           --OVID. MET.
+
+
+  The book unfolding; the resplendent seat
+  Of saints and angels; the tremendous fate
+  Of guilty souls; the gloomy realms of woe;
+  And all the horrors of the world below;
+  I next presume to sing: what yet remains
+  Demands my last, but most exalted strains.
+  And let the muse or now affect the sky,
+  Or in inglorious shades for ever lie.
+  She kindles, she's inflam'd so near the goal;
+  She mounts, she gains upon the starry pole;
+  The world grows less as she pursues her flight,
+  And the sun darkens to her distant sight.
+  Heaven op'ning, all its sacred pomp displays,
+  And overwhelms her with the rushing blaze!
+  The triumph rings! archangels shout around!
+  And echoing nature lengthens out the sound!
+    Ten thousand trumpets now at once advance;
+  Now deepest silence lulls the vast expanse:
+  So deep the silence, and so strong the blast,
+  As nature died, when she had groan'd her last.
+  Nor man, nor angel, moves; the Judge on high
+  Looks round, and with his glory fills the sky:
+  Then on the fatal book his hand he lays,
+  Which high to view supporting seraphs raise;
+  In solemn form the rituals are prepar'd,
+  The seal is broken, and a groan is heard.
+  And thou, my soul, (oh fall to sudden pray'r,
+  And let the thought sink deep!) shalt thou be there?
+    See on the left (for by the great command
+  The throng divided falls on either hand);
+  How weak, how pale, how haggard, how obscene,
+  What more than death in ev'ry face and mien!
+  With what distress, and glarings of affright.
+  They shock the heart, and turn away the sight!
+  In gloomy orbs their trembling eye-balls roll,
+  And tell the horrid secrets of the soul.
+  Each gesture mourns, each look is black with care,
+  And ev'ry groan is loaden with despair.
+  Reader, if guilty, spare the muse, and find
+  A truer image pictur'd in thy mind.
+    Shouldst thou behold thy brother, father, wife,
+  And all the soft companions of thy life,
+  Whose blended int'rests levell'd at one aim,
+  Whose mix'd desires sent up one common flame,
+  Divided far; thy wretched self alone
+  Cast on the left, of all whom thou hast known;
+  How would it wound! what millions wouldst thou give
+  For one more trial, one more day to live!
+  Flung back in time an hour, a moment's space,
+  To grasp with eagerness the means of grace;
+  Contend for mercy with a pious rage,
+  And in that moment to redeem an age?
+  Drive back the tide, suspend a storm in air,
+  Arrest the sun!--but still of this despair.
+    Mark, on the right, how amiable a grace!
+  Their Maker's image fresh in ev'ry face!
+  What purple bloom my ravish'd soul admires!
+  And their eyes sparkling with immortal fires!
+  Triumphant beauty! charms that rise above
+  This world, and in blest angels kindle love!
+  To the great Judge with holy pride they turn,
+  And dare behold th' Almighty's anger burn;
+  Its flash sustain, against its terror rise,
+  And on the dread tribunal fix their eyes.
+  Are these the forms that moulder'd in the dust?
+  Oh the transcendent glory of the just!
+  Yet still some thin remains of fear and doubt,
+  Th' infected brightness of their joy pollute.
+    Thus the chaste bridegroom, when the priest draws nigh,
+  Beholds his blessing with a trembling eye,
+  Feels doubtful passions throb in every vein,
+  And in his cheeks are mingled joy and pain,
+  Lest still some intervening chance should rise,
+  Leap forth at once, and snatch the golden prize;
+  Inflame his woe, by bringing it so late,
+  And stab him in the crisis of his fate.
+    Since Adam's family, from first to last,
+  Now into one distinct survey is cast;
+  Look round, vainglorious muse, and you whoe'er
+  Devote yourselves to fame, and think her fair;
+  Look round, and seek the lights of human race,
+  Whose shining acts time's brightest annals grace;
+  Who founded sects; crowns conquer'd, or resign'd;
+  Gave names to nations: or fam'd empires join'd;
+  Who raised the vale, and laid the mountain low;
+  And taught obedient rivers where to flow;
+  Who with vast fleets, as with a mighty chain,
+  Could bind the madness of the roaring main:
+  All lost? all undistinguish'd? nowhere found?
+  How will this truth in Bourbon's palace sound?
+    That hour, on which the Almighty King on high
+  From all eternity has fix'd his eye,
+  Whether his right hand favour'd, or annoy'd,
+  Continu'd, alter'd, threaten'd, or destroy'd;
+  Southern or eastern sceptre downward hurl'd,
+  Gave north or west dominion o'er the world;
+  The point of time, for which the world was built,
+  For which the blood of God himself was spilt,
+  That dreadful moment is arriv'd.
+    Aloft, the seats of bliss their pomp display
+  Brighter than brightness, this distinguish'd day;
+  Less glorious, when of old th' eternal Son
+  From realms of night return'd with trophies won:
+  Thro' heaven's high gates, when he triumphant rode,
+  And shouting angels hail'd the victor God.
+  Horrors, beneath, darkness in darkness, hell
+  Of hell, where torments behind torments dwell;
+  A furnace formidable, deep, and wide,
+  O'erboiling with a mad sulphureous tide,
+  Expands its jaws, most dreadful to survey,
+  And roars outrageous for the destin'd prey.
+  The sons of light scarce unappall'd look down,
+  And nearer press heaven's everlasting throne.
+    Such is the scene; and one short moment's space
+  Concludes the hopes and fears of human race.
+  Proceed who dares!--I tremble as I write,
+  The whole creation swims before my sight:
+  I see, I see, the Judge's frowning brow;
+  Say not, 'tis distant; I behold it now;
+  I faint, my tardy blood forgets to flow,
+  My soul recoils at the stupendous woe;
+  That woe, those pangs, which from the guilty breast,
+  In these, or words like these, shall be exprest.
+    "Who burst the barriers of my peaceful grave?
+  Ah! cruel death, that would no longer save,
+  But grudg'd me e'en that narrow dark abode,
+  And cast me out into the wrath of God;
+  Where shrieks, the roaring flame, the rattling chain,
+  And all the dreadful eloquence of pain,
+  Our only song; black fire's malignant light,
+  The sole refreshment of the blasted sight.
+  Must all those pow'rs, heaven gave me to supply
+  My soul with pleasure, and bring in my joy,
+  Rise up in arms against me, join the foe,
+  Sense, reason, memory, increase my woe?
+  And shall my voice, ordain'd on hymns to dwell,
+  Corrupt to groans, and blow the fires of hell?
+  Oh! must I look with terror on my gain,
+  And with existence only measure pain?
+  What! no reprieve, no least indulgence given,
+  No beam of hope, from any point of heaven!
+  Ah mercy! mercy! art thou dead above?
+  Is love extinguish'd in the source of love?
+    "Bold that I am, did heaven stoop down to hell?
+  Th' expiring Lord of life my ransom seal?
+  Have I not been industrious to provoke?
+  From his embraces obstinately broke?
+  Pursu'd and panted for his mortal hate,
+  Earn'd my destruction, labour'd out my fate?
+  And dare I on extinguish'd love exclaim?
+  Take, take full vengeance, rouse the slack'ning flame;
+  Just is my lot--but oh! must it transcend
+  The reach of time, despair a distant end?
+  With dreadful growth shoot forward, and arise,
+  Where thought can't follow, and bold fancy dies?
+    "Never! where falls the soul at that dread sound?
+  Down an abyss how dark, and how profound?
+  Down, down, (I still am falling, horrid pain!)
+  Ten thousand thousand fathoms still remain;
+  My plunge but still begun--And this for sin?
+  Could I offend, if I had never been,
+  But still increas'd the senseless happy mass,
+  Flow'd in the stream, or shiver'd in the grass?
+    "Father of mercies! why from silent earth
+  Didst thou awake, and curse me into birth?
+  Tear me from quiet, ravish me from night,
+  And make a thankless present of thy light?
+  Push into being a reverse of thee,
+  And animate a clod with misery?
+    "The beasts are happy; they come forth, and keep
+  Short watch on earth, and then lie down to sleep.
+  Pain is for man; and oh! how vast a pain
+  For crimes, which made the Godhead bleed in vain!
+  Annull'd his groans, as far as in them lay,
+  And flung his agonies, and death, away!
+  As our dire punishment for ever strong,
+  Our constitution too for ever young,
+  Curs'd with returns of vigour, still the same,
+  Powerful to bear, and satisfy the flame:
+  Still to be caught, and still to be pursu'd!
+  To perish still, and still to be renew'd!
+    "And this, my help! my God! at thy decree?
+  Nature is chang'd, and hell should succour me.
+  And canst thou then look down from perfect bliss,
+  And see me plunging in the dark abyss?
+  Calling thee Father, in a sea of fire?
+  Or pouring blasphemies at thy desire?
+  With mortals' anguish wilt thou raise thy name,
+  And by my pangs omnipotence proclaim?
+    "Thou, who canst toss the planets to and fro,
+  Contract not thy great vengeance to my woe;
+  Crush worlds; in hotter flames fall'n angels lay;
+  On me Almighty wrath is cast away.
+  Call back thy thunders, Lord, hold in thy rage,
+  Nor with a speck of wretchedness engage:
+  Forget me quite, nor stoop a worm to blame;
+  But lose me in the greatness of thy name.
+  Thou art all love, all mercy, all divine,
+  And shall I make these glories cease to shine?
+  Shall sinful man grow great by his offence,
+  And from its course turn back Omnipotence?
+    "Forbid it! and oh! grant, great God, at least
+  This one, this slender, almost no request;
+  When I have wept a thousand lives away,
+  When torment is grown weary of its prey,
+  When I have rav'd ten thousand years in fire,
+  Ten thousand thousand, let me then expire."
+    Deep anguish! but too late; the hopeless soul,
+  Bound to the bottom of the burning pool,
+  Though loth, and ever loud blaspheming, owns
+  He's justly doom'd to pour eternal groans;
+  Enclos'd with horrors, and transfix'd with pain,
+  Rolling in vengeance, struggling with his chain:
+  To talk to fiery tempests; to implore
+  The raging flame to give its burnings o'er;
+  To toss, to writhe, to pant beneath his load,
+  And bear the weight of an offended God.
+    The favour'd of their Judge, in triumph move
+  To take possession of their thrones above;
+  Satan's accurs'd desertion to supply,
+  And fill the vacant stations of the sky;
+  Again to kindle long-extinguish'd rays,
+  And with new lights dilate the heavenly blaze;
+  To crop the roses of immortal youth,
+  And drink the fountain-head of sacred truth
+  To swim in seas of bliss, to strike the string,
+  And lift the voice to their Almighty King;
+  To lose eternity in grateful lays,
+  And fill heaven's wide circumference with praise.
+    But I attempt the wondrous height in vain,
+  And leave unfinish'd the too lofty strain:
+  What boldly I begin, let others end;
+  My strength exhausted, fainting I descend,
+  And choose a less, but no ignoble, theme,
+  Dissolving elements, and worlds, in flame.
+    The fatal period, the great hour, is come,
+  And nature shrinks at her approaching doom;
+  Loud peals of thunder give the sign, and all
+  Heaven's terrors in array surround the ball;
+  Sharp lightnings with the meteor's blaze conspire,
+  And, darted downward, set the world on fire;
+  Black rising clouds the thicken'd ether choke,
+  And spiry flames dart through the rolling smoke,
+  With keen vibrations cut the sullen night,
+  And strike the darken'd sky with dreadful light;
+  From heaven's four regions, with immortal force,
+  Angels drive on the wind's impetuous course,
+  T' enrage the flame: It spreads, it soars on high,
+  Swells in the storm, and billows through the sky:
+  Here winding pyramids of fire ascend,
+  Cities and deserts in one ruin blend;
+  Here blazing volumes wafted, overwhelm
+  The spacious face of a far distant realm;
+  There, undermin'd, down rush eternal hills,
+  The neighb'ring vales the vast destruction fills.
+    Hear'st thou that dreadful crack? that sound which broke
+  Like peals of thunder, and the centre shook?
+  What wonders must that groan of nature tell?
+  Olympus there, and mightier Atlas, fell;
+  Which seem'd above the reach of fate to stand,
+  A tow'ring monument of God's right hand;
+  Now dust and smoke, whose brow, so lately, spread
+  O'er shelter'd countries its diffusive shade.
+    Show me that celebrated spot, where all
+  The various rulers of the sever'd ball
+  Have humbly sought wealth, honour, and redress,
+  That land which heaven seem'd diligent to bless,
+  Once call'd Britannia: can her glories end?
+  And can't surrounding seas her realms defend?
+  Alas! in flames behold surrounding seas!
+  Like oil, their waters but augment the blaze.
+    Some angel say, where ran proud Asia's bound?
+  Or where with fruits was fair Europa crown'd?
+  Where stretch'd waste Lybia? Where did India's shore
+  Sparkle in diamonds, and her golden ore?
+  Each lost in each, their mingling kingdoms glow,
+  And all dissolv'd, one fiery deluge flow:
+  Thus earth's contending monarchies are join'd,
+  And a full period of ambition find.
+    And now whate'er or swims, or walks, or flies,
+  Inhabitants of sea, or earth, or skies;
+  All on whom Adam's wisdom fix'd a name,
+  All plunge, and perish in the conquering flame.
+    This globe alone would but defraud the fire,
+  Starve its devouring rage: the flakes aspire,
+  And catch the clouds, and make the heavens their prey;
+  The sun, the moon, the stars, all melt away;
+  All, all is lost; no monument, no sign,
+  Where once so proudly blaz'd the gay machine.
+  So bubbles on the foaming stream expire,
+  So sparks that scatter from the kindling fire;
+  The devastations of one dreadful hour
+  The great Creator's six days' work devour.
+  A mighty, mighty ruin! yet one soul
+  Has more to boast, and far outweighs the whole
+  Exalted in superior excellence,
+  Casts down to nothing, such a vast expense.
+  Have you not seen th' eternal mountains nod,
+  An earth dissolving, a descending God?
+  What strange surprises through all nature ran?
+  For whom these revolutions, but for man?
+  For him, Omnipotence new measures takes,
+  For him, through all eternity, awakes;
+  Pours on him gifts sufficient to supply
+  Heaven's loss, and with fresh glories fill the sky.
+    Think deeply then, O man, how great thou art;
+  Pay thyself homage with a trembling heart;
+  What angels guard, no longer dare neglect,
+  Slighting thyself, affront not God's respect.
+  Enter the sacred temple of thy breast,
+  And gaze, and wander there, a ravish'd guest;
+  Gaze on those hidden treasures thou shalt find,
+  Wander through all the glories of thy mind.
+  Of perfect knowledge, see, the dawning light
+  Foretells a noon most exquisitely bright!
+  Here, springs of endless joy are breaking forth!
+  There, buds the promise of celestial worth!
+  Worth, which must ripen in a happier clime,
+  And brighter sun, beyond the bounds of time.
+  Thou, minor, canst not guess thy vast estate,
+  What stores, on foreign coasts, thy landing wait:
+  Lose not thy claim, let virtue's path be trod;
+  Thus glad all heaven, and please that bounteous God,
+  Who, to light thee to pleasures, hung on high
+  Yon radiant orb, proud regent of the sky:
+  That service done, its beams shall fade away,
+  And God shine forth in one eternal day.

+
+
+  From lofty themes, from thoughts that soar'd on high,
+  And open'd wondrous scenes above the sky,
+  My muse descend: indulge my fond desire;
+  With softer thoughts my melting soul inspire,
+  And smooth my numbers to a female's praise:
+  A partial world will listen to my lays,
+  While Anna reigns, and sets a female name
+  Unrival'd in the glorious lists of fame.
+    Hear, ye fair daughters of this happy land,
+  Whose radiant eyes the vanquish'd world command,
+  Virtue is beauty: but when charms of mind
+  With elegance of outward form are join'd;
+  When youth makes such bright objects still more bright,
+  And fortune sets them in the strongest light;
+  'Tis all of heaven that we below may view,
+  And all, but adoration, is your due.
+  Fam'd female virtue did this isle adorn,
+  Ere Ormond, or her glorious queen, was born:
+  When now Maria's powerful arms prevail'd,
+  And haughty Dudley's bold ambition fail'd,
+  The beauteous daughter of great Suffolk's race,
+  In blooming youth adorn'd with every grace;
+  Who gain'd a crown by treason not her own,
+  And innocently fill'd another's throne;
+  Hurl'd from the summit of imperial state,
+  With equal mind sustain'd the stroke of fate.
+    But how will Guilford, her far dearer part,
+  With manly reason fortify his heart?
+  At once she longs, and is afraid, to know:
+  Now swift she moves, and now advances slow,
+  To find her lord; and, finding, passes by,
+  Silent with fear, nor dares she meet his eye;
+  Lest that, unask'd, in speechless grief, disclose
+  The mournful secret of his inward woes.
+  Thus, after sickness, doubtful of her face,
+  The melancholy virgin shuns the glass.
+    At length, with troubled thought, but look serene,
+  And sorrow soften'd by her heavenly mien,
+  She clasps her lord, brave, beautiful, and young,
+  While tender accents melt upon her tongue;
+  Gentle, and sweet, as vernal zephyr blows,
+  Fanning the lily, or the blooming rose.
+    "Grieve not, my lord; a crown indeed is lost;
+  What far outshines a crown, we still may boast;
+  A mind compos'd; a mind that can disdain
+  A fruitless sorrow for a loss so vain.
+  Nothing is loss that virtue can improve
+  To wealth eternal; and return above;
+  Above, where no distinction shall be known
+  'Twixt him whom storms have shaken from a throne,
+  And him, who, basking in the smiles of fate,
+  Shone forth in all the splendour of the great:
+  Nor can I find the diff'rence here below;
+  I lately was a queen; I still am so,
+  While Guilford's wife: thee rather I obey,
+  Than o'er mankind extend imperial sway.
+  When we lie down in some obscure retreat,
+  Incens'd Maria may her rage forget;
+  And I to death my duty will improve,
+  And what you miss in empire, add in love--
+  Your godlike soul is open'd in your look,
+  And I have faintly your great meaning spoke,
+  For this alone I'm pleas'd I wore the crown,
+  To find with what content we lay it down.
+  Heroes may win, but 't is a heavenly race
+  Can quit a throne with a becoming grace."
+    Thus spoke the fairest of her sex, and cheer'd
+  Her drooping lord; whose boding bosom fear'd
+  A darker cloud of ills would burst, and shed
+  Severer vengeance on her guiltless head:
+  Too just, alas, the terrors which he felt!
+  For, lo! a guard!--Forgive him, if he melt--
+  How sharp her pangs, when sever'd from his side,
+  The most sincerely lov'd, and loving bride,
+  In space confin'd, the muse forbears to tell;
+  Deep was her anguish, but she bore it well.
+  His pain was equal, but his virtue less;
+  He thought in grief there could be no excess.
+  Pensive he sat, o'ercast with gloomy care,
+  And often fondly clasp'd his absent fair;
+  Now, silent, wander'd thro' his rooms of state,
+  And sicken'd at the pomp, and tax'd his fate;
+  Which thus adorn'd, in all her shining store,
+  A splendid wretch, magnificently poor.
+  Now on the bridal-bed his eyes were cast,
+  And anguish fed on his enjoyments past;
+  Each recollected pleasure made him smart,
+  And every transport stabb'd him to the heart.
+    That happy moon, which summon'd to delight,
+  That moon which shone on his dear nuptial night,
+  Which saw him fold her yet untasted charms
+  (Denied to princes) in his longing arms;
+  Now sees the transient blessing fleet away,
+  Empire and love! the vision of a day.
+    Thus, in the British clime, a summer-storm
+  Will oft the smiling face of heaven deform;
+  The winds with violence at once descend,
+  Sweep flowers and fruits, and make the forest bend;
+  A sudden winter, while the sun is near,
+  O'ercomes the season, and inverts the year.
+    But whither is the captive borne away,
+  The beauteous captive, from the cheerful day?
+  The scene is chang'd indeed; before her eyes
+  Ill boding looks and unknown horrors rise:
+  For pomp and splendour, for her guard and crown,
+  A gloomy dungeon, and a keeper's frown:
+  Black thoughts, each morn, invade the lover's breast,
+  Each night, a ruffian locks the queen to rest.
+    Ah mournful change, if judg'd by vulgar minds!
+  But Suffolk's daughter its advantage finds.
+  Religion's force divine is best display'd
+  In deep desertion of all human aid:
+  To succour in extremes, is her delight,
+  And cheer the heart, when terror strikes the sight.
+  We, disbelieving our own senses, gaze,
+  And wonder what a mortal's heart can raise
+  To triumph o'er misfortunes, smile in grief,
+  And comfort those who come to bring relief:
+  We gaze; and as we gaze, wealth, fame, decay,
+  And all the world's vain glories fade away.
+    Against her cares she rais'd a dauntless mind,
+  And with an ardent heart, but most resign'd,
+  Deep in the dreadful gloom, with pious heat,
+  Amid the silence of her dark retreat,
+  Address'd her God,--"Almighty power divine!
+  'Tis thine to raise, and to depress, is thine;
+  With honour to light up the name unknown,
+  Or to put out the lustre of a throne.
+  In my short span both fortunes I have prov'd,
+  And though with ill frail nature will be mov'd,
+  I'll bear it well: (O strengthen me to bear!)
+  And if my piety may claim thy care;
+  If I remember'd, in youth's giddy heat,
+  And tumult of a court, a future state;
+  O favour, when thy mercy I implore
+  For one who never guilty sceptre bore!
+  'Twas I receiv'd the crown; my lord is free;
+  If it must fall, let vengeance fall on me.
+  Let him survive, his country's name to raise,
+  And in a guilty land to speak thy praise!
+  O may th' indulgence of a father's love,
+  Pour'd forth on me, be doubled from above!
+  If these are safe, I'll think my prayers succeed,
+  And bless thy tender mercies, whilst I bleed."
+    'Twas now the mournful eve before that day
+  In which the queen to her full wrath gave way;
+  Thro' rigid justice, rush'd into offence,
+  And drank in zeal the blood of innocence:
+  The sun went down in clouds, and seem'd to mourn
+  The sad necessity of his return;
+  The hollow wind, and melancholy rain,
+  Or did, or was imagin'd to, complain:
+  The tapers cast an inauspicious light;
+  Stars there were none, and doubly dark the night.
+    Sweet innocence in chains can take her rest;
+  Soft slumber gently creeping through her breast,
+  She sinks; and in her sleep is reinthron'd,
+  Mock'd by a gaudy dream, and vainly crown'd.
+  She views her fleets and armies, seas and land,
+  And stretches wide her shadow of command:
+  With royal purple is her vision hung;
+  By phantom hosts are shouts of conquest rung;
+  Low at her feet the suppliant rival lies;
+  Our prisoner mourns her fate, and bids her rise.
+  Now level beams upon the waters play'd,
+  Glanc'd on the hills, and westward cast the shade;
+  The busy trades in city had began
+  To sound, and speak the painful life of man.
+  In tyrants' breasts the thoughts of vengeance rouse,
+  And the fond bridegroom turns him to his spouse.
+  At this first birth of light, while morning breaks,
+  Our spouseless bride, our widow'd wife, awakes;
+  Awakes, and smiles; nor night's imposture blames;
+  Her real pomps were little more than dreams;
+  A short-liv'd blaze, a lightning quickly o'er,
+  That died in birth, that shone, and were no more:
+  She turns her side, and soon resumes a state
+  Of mind, well suited to her alter'd fate,
+  Serene, though serious; when dread tidings come
+  (Ah wretched Guilford!) of her instant doom.
+  Sun, hide thy beams; in clouds as black as night
+  Thy face involve; be guiltless of the sight;
+  Or haste more swiftly to the western main;
+  Nor let her blood the conscious daylight stain!
+    Oh! how severe! to fall so new a bride,
+  Yet blushing from the priest, in youthful pride;
+  When time had just matur'd each perfect grace,
+  And open'd all the wonders of her face!
+  To leave her Guilford dead to all relief,
+  Fond of his woe, and obstinate in grief.
+  Unhappy fair! whatever fancy drew,
+  (Vain promis'd blessings,) vanish from her view;
+  No train of cheerful days, endearing nights,
+  No sweet domestic joys, and chaste delights;
+  Pleasures that blossom e'en from doubts and fears;
+  And bliss and rapture rising out of cares:
+  No little Guilford, with paternal grace,
+  Lull'd on her knee, or smiling in her face;
+  Who, when her dearest father shall return,
+  From pouring tears on her untimely urn,
+  Might comfort to his silver hairs impart,
+  And fill her place in his indulgent heart:
+  As where fruits fall, quick rising blossoms smile,
+  And the bless'd Indian of his care beguile,
+    In vain these various reasons jointly press,
+  To blacken death, and heighten her distress;
+  She, thro' th' encircling terrors darts her sight
+  To the bless'd regions of eternal light,
+  And fills her soul with peace: to weeping friends
+  Her father, and her lord, she recommends;
+  Unmov'd herself: her foes her air survey,
+  And rage to see their malice thrown away.
+  She soars; now nought on earth detains her care----
+  But Guilford; who still struggles for his share.
+  Still will his form importunately rise,
+  Clog and retard her transport to the skies;
+  As trembling flames now take a feeble flight,
+  Now catch the brand with a returning light,
+  Thus her soul onward from the seats above
+  Falls fondly back, and kindles into love:
+  At length she conquers in the doubtful field;
+  That heaven she seeks will be her Guilford's shield.
+  Now death is welcome; his approach is slow;
+  'Tis tedious longer to expect the blow.
+  Oh! mortals, short of sight, who think the past
+  O'erblown misfortune still shall prove the last:
+  Alas! misfortunes travel in a train,
+  And oft in life form one perpetual chain;
+  Fear buries fear, and ills on ills attend,
+  Till life and sorrow meet one common end.
+    She thinks that she has nought but death to fear,
+  And death is conquer'd. Worse than death is near.
+  Her rigid trials are not yet complete;
+  The news arrives of her great father's fate.
+  She sees his hoary head, all white with age,
+  A victim to th' offended monarch's rage.
+  How great the mercy, had she breath'd her last,
+  Ere the dire sentence on her father past!
+    A fonder parent nature never knew;
+  And as his age increas'd, his fondness grew.
+  A parent's love ne'er better was bestow'd;
+  The pious daughter in her heart o'erflow'd.
+  And can she from all weakness still refrain?
+  And still the firmness of her soul maintain?
+  Impossible! a sigh will force its way;
+  One patient tear her mortal birth betray;
+  She sighs and weeps! but so she weeps and sighs,
+  As silent dews descend, and vapours rise.
+    Celestial patience! how dost thou defeat
+  The foe's proud menace, and elude his hate!
+  While passion takes his part, betrays our peace;
+  To death and torture swells each slight disgrace;
+  By not opposing, thou dost ills destroy,
+  And wear thy conquer'd sorrows into joy.
+  Now she revolves within her anxious mind,
+  What woe still lingers in reserve behind.
+  Griefs rise on griefs, and she can see no bound,
+  While nature lasts, and can receive a wound.
+  The sword is drawn; the queen to rage inclin'd,
+  By mercy, nor by piety, confin'd.
+  What mercy can the zealot's heart assuage,
+  Whose piety itself converts to rage?
+  She thought, and sigh'd. And now the blood began
+  To leave her beauteous cheek all cold and wan.
+  New sorrow dimm'd the lustre of her eye,
+  And on her cheek the fading roses die.
+  Alas! should Guilford too--when now she's brought
+  To that dire view, that precipice of thought,
+  While there she trembling stands, nor dares look down,
+  Nor can recede, till heaven's decrees are known;
+  Cure of all ills, till now, her lord appears--
+  But not to cheer her heart, and dry her tears!
+  Not now, as usual, like the rising day,
+  To chase the shadows, and the damps away:
+  But, like a gloomy storm, at once to sweep
+  And plunge her to the bottom of the deep.
+  Black were his robes, dejected was his air,
+  His voice was frozen by his cold despair;
+  Slow, like a ghost, he mov'd with solemn pace;
+  A dying paleness sat upon his face.
+  Back she recoil'd, she smote her lovely breast,
+  Her eyes the anguish of her heart confess'd;
+  Struck to the soul, she stagger'd with the wound,
+  And sunk, a breathless image, to the ground.
+    Thus the fair lily, when the sky's o'ercast,
+  At first but shudders in the feeble blast;
+  But when the winds and weighty rains descend,
+  The fair and upright stem is forc'd to bend;
+  Till broke at length, its snowy leaves are shed,
+  And strew with dying sweets their native bed.

+
+  Her Guilford clasps her, beautiful in death,
+  And with a kiss recalls her fleeting breath,
+  To tapers thus, which by a blast expire,
+  A lighted taper, touch'd, restores the fire:
+  She rear'd her swimming eye, and saw the light,
+  And Guilford too, or she had loath'd the sight:
+  Her father's death she bore, despis'd her own,
+  But now she must, she will, have leave to groan:
+  Ah! Guilford, she began, and would have spoke;
+  But sobs rush'd in, and ev'ry accent broke:
+  Reason itself, as gusts of passion blew,
+  Was ruffled in the tempest, and withdrew.
+    So the youth lost his image in the well,
+  When tears upon the yielding surface fell.
+  The scatter'd features slid into decay,
+  And spreading circles drove his face away.
+  To touch the soft affections, and control
+  The manly temper of the bravest soul,
+  What with afflicted beauty can compare,
+  And drops of love distilling from the fair?
+  It melts us down; our pains delight bestow;
+  And we with fondness languish o'er our woe.
+    This Guilford prov'd; and, with excess of pain,
+  And pleasure too, did to his bosom strain
+  The weeping fair: sunk deep in soft desire,
+  Indulg'd his love, and nurs'd the raging fire:
+  Then tore himself away; and, standing wide,
+  As fearing a relapse of fondness, cried,
+  With ill-dissembled grief; "My life, forbear!
+  You wound your Guilford with each cruel tear:
+  Did you not chide my grief? repress your own;
+  Nor want compassion for yourself alone:
+  Have you beheld, how, from the distant main,
+  The thronging waves roll on, a num'rous train,
+  And foam, and bellow, till they reach the shore;
+  There burst their noisy pride, and are no more?
+  Thus the successive flows of human race,
+  Chas'd by the coming, the preceding, chase;
+  They sound, and swell, their haughty heads they rear;
+  Then fall, and flatten, break, and disappear.
+  Life is a forfeit we must shortly pay;
+  And where's the mighty lucre of a day?
+  Why should you mourn my fate? 'tis most unkind;
+  Your own you bore with an unshaken mind:
+  And which, can you imagine, was the dart
+  That drank most blood, sunk deepest in my heart?
+  I cannot live without you; and my doom
+  I meet with joy, to share one common tomb.--
+  And are again your tears profusely spilt!
+  Oh! then, my kindness blackens to my guilt;
+  It foils itself, if it recall your pain;--
+  Life of my life, I beg you to refrain!
+  The load which fate imposes, you increase;
+  And help Maria to destroy my peace."
+    But, oh! against himself his labour turn'd;
+  The more he comforted, the more she mourn'd:
+  Compassion swells our grief; words soft and kind
+  But soothe our weakness, and dissolve the mind:
+  Her sorrow flow'd in streams; nor hers alone,
+  While that he blam'd, he yielded to his own.
+  Where are the smiles she wore, when she, so late,
+  Hail'd him great partner of the regal state;
+  When orient gems around her temples blaz'd,
+  And bending nations on the glory gaz'd?
+    'Tis now the queen's command, they both retreat,
+  To weep with dignity, and mourn in state:
+  She forms the decent misery with joy,
+  And loads with pomp the wretch she would destroy.
+  A spacious hall is hung with black; all light
+  Shut out, and noon-day darken'd into night.
+  From the mid-roof a lamp depends on high,
+  Like a dim crescent in a clouded sky:
+  It sheds a quiv'ring melancholy gloom,
+  Which only shows the darkness of the room.
+  A shining axe is on the table laid;
+  A dreadful sight! and glitters through the shade.
+    In this sad scene the lovers are confin'd;
+  A scene of terrors, to a guilty mind!
+  A scene, that would have damp'd with rising cares,
+  And quite extinguish'd every love but theirs.
+  What can they do? They fix their mournful eyes----
+  Then Guilford, thus abruptly; "I despise
+  An empire lost; I fling away the crown;
+  Numbers have laid that bright delusion down;
+  But where's the Charles, or Dioclesian where,
+  Could quit the blooming, wedded, weeping fair?
+  Oh! to dwell ever on thy lip! to stand
+  In full possession of thy snowy hand!
+  And, thro' th' unclouded crystal of thine eye,
+  The heavenly treasures of thy mind to spy!
+  Till rapture reason happily destroys,
+  And my soul wanders through immortal joys!
+  Give me the world, and ask me, where's my bliss?
+  I clasp thee to my breast, and answer, this.
+  And shall the grave"--He groans, and can no more;
+  But all her charms in silence traces o'er;
+  Her lip, her cheek, and eye, to wonder wrought;
+  And, wond'ring, sees, in sad presaging thought,
+  From that fair neck, that world of beauty fall,
+  And roll along the dust, a ghastly ball!
+    Oh! let those tremble, who are greatly bless'd!
+  For who, but Guilford, could be thus distress'd?
+  Come hither, all you happy, all you great,
+  From flowery meadows, and from rooms of state;
+  Nor think I call, your pleasures to destroy,
+  But to refine, and to exalt your joy:
+  Weep not; but, smiling, fix your ardent care
+  On nobler titles than the brave or fair.
+    Was ever such a mournful, moving sight?
+  See, if you can, by that dull, trembling light:
+  Now they embrace; and, mix'd with bitter woe,
+  Like Isis and her Thames, one stream they flow:
+  Now they start wide; fix'd in benumbing care,
+  They stiffen into statues of despair:
+  Now, tenderly severe, and fiercely kind,
+  They rush at once; they fling their cares behind,
+  And clasp, as if to death; new vows repeat;
+  And, quite wrapp'd up in love, forget their fate.
+  A short delusion! for the raging pain
+  Returns; and their poor hearts must bleed again.
+    Meantime, the queen new cruelty decreed;
+  But, ill content that they should only bleed,
+  A priest is sent; who, with insidious art,
+  Instills his poison into Suffolk's heart;
+  And Guilford drank it: banging on the breast,
+  He from his childhood was with Rome possest.
+  When now the ministers of death draw nigh,
+  And in her dearest lord she first must die,
+  The subtle priest, who long had watch'd to find
+  The most unguarded passes of her mind,
+  Bespoke her thus: "Grieve not; 'tis in your power
+  Your lord to rescue from this fatal hour."
+  Her bosom pants; she draws her breath with pain;
+  A sudden horror thrills through every vein;
+  Life seems suspended, on his words intent;
+  And her soul trembles for the great event.
+    The priest proceeds: "Embrace the faith of Rome,
+  And ward your own, your lord's, and father's doom."
+  Ye blessed spirits! now your charge sustain;
+  The past was ease; now first she suffers pain.
+  Must she pronounce her father's death? must she
+  Bid Guilford bleed?--It must not, cannot, be.
+  It cannot be! But 'tis the Christian's praise,
+  Above impossibilities to raise
+  The weakness of our nature; and deride
+  Of vain philosophy the boasted pride.
+  What though our feeble sinews scarce impart
+  A moment's swiftness to the feather'd dart;
+  Though tainted air our vig'rous youth can break,
+  And a chill blast the hardy warrior shake,
+  Yet are we strong: hear the loud tempest roar
+  From east to west, and call us weak no more;
+  The lightning's unresisted force proclaims
+  Our might; and thunders raise our humble names;
+  'Tis our Jehovah fills the heavens; as long
+  As he shall reign Almighty, we are strong:
+  We, by devotion, borrow from his throne;
+  And almost make Omnipotence our own:
+  We force the gates of heaven, by fervent prayer;
+  And call forth triumph out of man's despair.
+    Our lovely mourner, kneeling, lifts her eyes
+  And bleeding heart, in silence, to the skies,
+  Devoutly sad--then, bright'ning, like the day,
+  When sudden winds sweep scatter'd clouds away,
+  Shining in majesty, till now unknown,
+  And breathing life and spirit scarce her own;
+  She, rising, speaks: "If these the terms----"
+    Here, Guilford, cruel Guilford, (barb'rous man!
+  Is this thy love?) as swift as lightning ran;
+  O'erwhelm'd her with tempestuous sorrow fraught,
+  And stifled, in its birth, the mighty thought;
+  Then bursting fresh into a flood of tears,
+  Fierce, resolute, delirious with his fears;
+  His fears for her alone: he beat his breast,
+  And thus the fervour of his soul exprest:
+  "Oh! let thy thought o'er our past converse rove,
+  And show one moment uninflam'd with love!
+  Oh! if thy kindness can no longer last,
+  In pity to thyself, forget the past!
+  Else wilt thou never, void of shame and fear,
+  Pronounce his doom, whom thou hast held so dear:
+  Thou who hast took me to thy arms, and swore
+  Empires were vile, and fate could give no more:
+  That to continue, was its utmost power,
+  And make the future like the present hour.
+  Now call a ruffian; bid his cruel sword
+  Lay wide the bosom of thy worthless lord;
+  Transfix his heart (since you its love disclaim),
+  And stain his honour with a traitor's name.
+  This might perhaps be borne without remorse;
+  But sure a father's pangs will have their force!
+  Shall his good age, so near its journey's end,
+  Through cruel torment to the grave descend?
+  His shallow blood all issue at a wound,
+  Wash a slave's feet, and smoke upon the ground?
+  But he to you has ever been severe;
+  Then take your vengeance"--Suffolk now drew near;
+  Bending beneath the burden of his care;
+  His robes neglected, and his head was bare;
+  Decrepid winter, in the yearly ring,
+  Thus slowly creeps, to meet the blooming spring:
+  Downward he cast a melancholy look;
+  Thrice turn'd, to hide his grief; then faintly spoke:
+  "Now deep in years, and forward in decay,
+  That axe can only rob me of a day;
+  For thee, my soul's desire! I can't refrain;
+  And shall my tears, my last tears, flow in vain?
+  When you shall know a mother's tender name,
+  My heart's distress no longer will you blame."
+  At this, afar his bursting groans were heard;
+  The tears ran trickling down his silver beard:
+  He snatch'd her hand, which to his lips he prest,
+  And bid her plant a dagger in his breast;
+  Then, sinking, call'd her piety unjust,
+  And soil'd his hoary temples in the dust.
+    Hard-hearted men! will you no mercy know?
+  Has the queen brib'd you to distress her foe?
+  O weak deserters to misfortune's part,
+  By false affection thus to pierce her heart!
+  When she had soar'd, to let your arrows fly,
+  And fetch her bleeding from the middle sky!
+  And can her virtue, springing from the ground,
+  Her flight recover, and disdain the wound,
+  When cleaving love, and human interest, bind
+  The broken force of her aspiring mind;
+  As round the gen'rous eagle, which in vain
+  Exerts her strength, the serpent wreaths his train,
+  Her struggling wings entangles, curling plies
+  His pois'nous tail, and stings her as she flies!
+    While yet the blow's first dreadful weight she feels,
+  And with its force her resolution reels;
+  Large doors, unfolding with a mournful sound,
+  To view discover, welt'ring on the ground,
+  Three headless trunks, of those whose arms maintain'd,
+  And in her wars immortal glory gain'd:
+  The lifted axe assur'd her ready doom,
+  And silent mourners sadden'd all the room.
+  Shall I proceed; or here break off my tale;
+  Nor truths, to stagger human faith, reveal?
+    She met this utmost malice of her fate
+  With Christian dignity, and pious state:
+  The beating storm's propitious rage she blest,
+  And all the martyr triumph'd in her breast:
+  Her lord and father, for a moment's space,
+  She strictly folded in her soft embrace!
+  Then thus she spoke, while angels heard on high,
+  And sudden gladness smil'd along the sky:
+    "Your over fondness has not mov'd my hate;
+  I am well pleas'd you make my death so great;
+  I joy I cannot save you; and have giv'n
+  Two lives, much dearer than my own, to heaven,
+  If so the queen decrees:(4)--But I have cause
+  To hope my blood will satisfy the laws;
+  And there is mercy still, for you, in store:
+  With me the bitterness of death is o'er.
+  He shot his sting in that farewell embrace;
+  And all, that is to come, is joy and peace.
+  Then let mistaken sorrow be supprest,
+  Nor seem to envy my approaching rest."
+  Then, turning to the ministers of fate,
+  She, smiling, says, "My victory complete:
+  And tell your queen, I thank her for the blow,
+  And grieve my gratitude I cannot show:
+  A poor return I leave in England's crown,
+  For everlasting pleasure, and renown:
+  Her guilt alone allays this happy hour;
+  Her guilt,--the only vengeance in her power."
+    Not Rome, untouch'd with sorrow, heard her fate;
+  And fierce Maria pitied her too late.

+                   LOVE OF FAME, THE UNIVERSAL PASSION.
+
+
+                    In Seven Characteristical Satires.
+
+
+      ----Fulgente trahit constrictos gloria curru.
+      Non minus ignotos generosis.
+
+                                                                 --HOR.
+
+
+
+
+                                 Preface.
+
+
+These satires have been favourably received at home and abroad. I am not
+conscious of the least malevolence to any particular person through all
+the characters; though some persons may be so selfish, as to engross a
+general application to themselves. A writer in polite letters should be
+content with reputation; the private amusement he finds in his
+compositions; the good influence they have on his severer studies; that
+admission they give him to his superiors; and the possible good effect
+they may have on the public; or else he should join to his politeness some
+more lucrative qualification.
+
+But it is possible, that satire may not do much good: men may rise in
+their affections to their follies, as they do to their friends, when they
+are abused by others: it is much to be feared, that misconduct will never
+be chased out of the world by satire; all therefore that is to be said for
+it is, that misconduct will certainly be never chased out of the world by
+satire, if no satires are written: nor is that term unapplicable to graver
+compositions. Ethics, heathen and Christian, and the Scriptures
+themselves, are, in a great measure, a satire on the weakness and iniquity
+of men; and some part of that satire is in verse too: nay, in the first
+ages, philosophy and poetry were the same thing; wisdom wore no other
+dress: so that, I hope, these satires will be the more easily pardoned
+that misfortune by the severe. Nay, historians themselves may be
+considered as satirists, and satirists most severe; since such are most
+human actions, that to relate, is to expose them.
+
+No man can converse much in the world, but, at what he meets with, he must
+either be insensible, or grieve, or be angry, or smile. Some passion (if
+we are not impassive) must be moved; for the general conduct of mankind is
+by no means a thing indifferent to a reasonable and virtuous man. Now to
+smile at it, and turn it into ridicule, I think most eligible; as it hurts
+ourselves least, and gives vice and folly the greatest offence: and that
+for this reason; because what men aim at by them, is, generally, public
+opinion and esteem; which truth is the subject of the following satire;
+and joins them together, as several brandies from the same root: a unity
+of design, which has not, I think, in a set of satires, been attempted
+before.
+
+Laughing at the misconduct of the world, will, in a great measure, ease us
+of any more disagreeable passion about it. One passion is more effectually
+driven out by another, than by reason; whatever some may teach: for to
+reason we owe our passions: had we not reason, we should not be offended
+at what we find amiss: and the cause seems not to be the natural cure of
+any effect.
+
+Moreover, laughing satire bids the fairest for success: the world is too
+proud to be fond of a serious tutor; and when an author is in a passion,
+the laugh, generally, as in conversation, turns against him. This kind of
+satire only has any delicacy in it. Of this delicacy Horace is the best
+master: he appears in good humour while he censures; and therefore his
+censure has the more weight, as supposed to proceed from judgment, not
+from passion. Juvenal is ever in a passion; he has little valuable but his
+eloquence and morality: the last of which I have had in my eye: but rather
+for emulation, than imitation, through my whole work.
+
+But though I comparatively condemn Juvenal, in part of the sixth satire
+(where the occasion most required it), I endeavoured to touch on his
+manner; but was forced to quit it soon, as disagreeable to the writer, and
+reader too. Boileau has joined both the Roman satirists with great
+success; but has too much of Juvenal in his very serious satire on woman,
+which should have been the gayest of all. An excellent critic of our own
+commends Boileau's closeness, or, as he calls it, pressness, particularly;
+whereas, it appears to me, that repetition is his fault, if any fault
+should be imputed to him.
+
+There are some prose satirists of the greatest delicacy and wit; the last
+of which can never, or should never, succeed without the former. An author
+without it, betrays too great a contempt for mankind, and opinion of
+himself, which are bad advocates for reputation and success. What a
+difference is there between the merit, if not the wit, of Cervantes and
+Rabelais? The last has a particular art of throwing a great deal of genius
+and learning into frolic and jest; but the genius and the scholar is all
+you can admire; you want the gentleman to converse with in him: he is like
+a criminal who receives his life for some services; you commend, but you
+pardon too. Indecency offends our pride, as men; and our unaffected taste,
+as judges of composition: nature has wisely formed us with an aversion to
+it; and he that succeeds in spite of it, is,(5) aliena venia, quam sua
+providentia tutior.
+
+Such wits, like false oracles of old (which were wits and cheats), should
+set up for reputation among the weak, in some Boeotia, which was the land
+of oracles; for the wise will hold them in contempt. Some wits, too, like
+oracles, deal in ambiguities; but not with equal success: for though
+ambiguities are the first excellence of an impostor, they are the last of
+a wit.
+
+Some satirical wits and humourists, like their father Lucian, laugh at
+every thing indiscriminately; which betrays such a poverty of wit, as
+cannot afford to part with any thing; and such a want of virtue, as to
+postpone it to a jest. Such writers encourage vice and folly, which they
+pretend to combat, by setting them on an equal foot with better things:
+and while they labour to bring every thing into contempt, how can they
+expect their own parts should escape? Some French writers, particularly,
+are guilty of this in matters of the last consequence; and some of our
+own. They that are for lessening the true dignity of mankind, are not sure
+of being successful, but with regard to one individual in it. It is this
+conduct that justly makes a wit a term of reproach.
+
+Which puts me in mind of Plato's fable of the birth of love; one of the
+prettiest fables of all antiquity; which will hold likewise with regard to
+modern poetry. Love, says he, is the son of the goddess poverty, and the
+god of riches: he has from his father his daring genius; his elevation of
+thought; his building castles in the air; his prodigality; his neglect of
+things serious and useful; his vain opinion of his own merit; and his
+affectation of preference and distinction: from his mother he inherits his
+indigence, which makes him a constant beggar of favours; that importunity
+with which he begs; his flattery; his servility; his fear of being
+despised, which is inseparable from him. This addition may be made; viz.
+that poetry, like love, is a little subject to blindness, which makes her
+mistake her way to preferments and honours; that she has her satirical
+quiver; and, lastly, that she retains a dutiful admiration of her father's
+family; but divides her favours, and generally lives with her mother's
+relations.
+
+However, this is not necessity, but choice: were wisdom her governess, she
+might have much more of the father than the mother; especially in such an
+age as this, which shows a due passion for her charms.

+
+
+                     TO HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF DORSET.
+
+
+      ----Tanto major fam� sitis est, quam
+      Virtutis.
+
+                                                          JUV. SAT. X.
+
+
+  My verse is satire; Dorset, lend your ear,
+  And patronize a muse you cannot fear.
+  To poets sacred is a Dorset's name:
+  Their wonted passport through the gates of fame:
+  It bribes the partial reader into praise,
+  And throws a glory round the shelter'd lays:
+  The dazzled judgment fewer faults can see,
+  And gives applause to Blackmore, or to me.
+  But you decline the mistress we pursue;
+  Others are fond of fame, but fame of you.
+    Instructive satire, true to virtue's cause!
+  Thou shining supplement of public laws!
+  When flatter'd crimes of a licentious age
+  Reproach our silence, and demand our rage;
+  When purchas'd follies, from each distant land,
+  Like arts, improve in Britain's skilful hand;
+  When the law shows her teeth, but dares not bite,
+  And south sea treasures are not brought to light;
+  When churchmen scripture for the classics quit,
+  Polite apostates from God's grace to wit;
+  When men grow great from their revenue spent,
+  And fly from bailiffs into parliament;
+  When dying sinners, to blot out their score,
+  Bequeath the church the leavings of a whore;
+  To chafe our spleen, when themes like these increase,
+  Shall panegyric reign, and censure cease?
+    Shall poesy, like law, turn wrong to right,
+  And dedications wash an �thiop white,
+  Set up each senseless wretch for nature's boast,
+  On whom praise shines, as trophies on a post?
+  Shall fun'ral eloquence her colours spread,
+  And scatter roses on the wealthy dead?
+  Shall authors smile on such illustrious days,
+  And satirize with nothing--but their praise?
+    Why slumbers Pope, who leads the tuneful train,
+  Nor hears that virtue, which he loves, complain?
+  Donne, Dorset, Dryden, Rochester, are dead,
+  And guilt's chief foe, in Addison, is fled;
+  Congreve, who, crown'd with laurels, fairly won,
+  Sits smiling at the goal, while others run,
+  He will not write; and (more provoking still!)
+  Ye gods! he will not write, and M�vius will.
+    Doubly distrest, what author shall we find
+  Discreetly daring, and severely kind,
+  The courtly(6) Roman's shining path to tread,
+  And sharply smile prevailing folly dead?
+  Will no superior genius snatch the quill,
+  And save me, on the brink, from writing ill?
+  Tho' vain the strife, I'll strive my voice to raise,
+  What will not men attempt for sacred praise?
+    The love of praise, howe'er conceal'd by art,
+  Reigns, more or less, and glows, in ev'ry heart:
+  The proud, to gain it, toils on toils endure;
+  The modest shun it, but to make it sure.
+  O'er globes, and sceptres, now on thrones it swells;
+  Now, trims the midnight lamp in college cells:
+  'Tis tory, whig; it plots, prays, preaches, pleads,
+  Harangues in senates, squeaks in masquerades.
+  Here, to Steele's humour makes a bold pretence
+  There, bolder, aims at Pulteney's eloquence.
+  It aids the dancer's heel, the writer's head,
+  And heaps the plain with mountains of the dead;
+  Nor ends with life; but nods in sable plumes,
+  Adorns our hearse, and flatters on our tombs.
+    What is not proud? The pimp is proud to see
+  So many like himself in high degree:
+  The whore is proud her beauties are the dread
+  Of peevish virtue, and the marriage-bed;
+  And the brib'd cuckold, like crown'd victims born
+  To slaughter, glories in his gilded horn.
+    Some go to church, proud humbly to repent,
+  And come back much more guilty than they went:
+  One way they look, another way they steer,
+  Pray to the gods, but would have mortals hear;
+  And when their sins they set sincerely down,
+  They'll find that their religion has been one.
+    Others with wishful eyes on glory look,
+  When they have got their picture tow'rds a book;
+  Or pompous title, like a gaudy sign,
+  Meant to betray dull sots to wretched wine.
+  If at his title T---- had dropt his quill,
+  T---- might have pass'd for a great genius still.
+  But T----, alas! (excuse him, if you can)
+  Is now a scribbler, who was once a man.
+  Imperious some a classic fame demand,
+  For heaping up, with a laborious hand,
+  A waggon-load of meanings for one word,
+  While A's deposed, and B with pomp restor'd.
+    Some, for renown, on scraps of learning dote,
+  And think they grow immortal as they quote.
+  To patch-work learn'd quotations are allied;
+  Both strive to make our poverty our pride.
+    On glass how witty is a noble peer!
+  Did ever diamond cost a man so dear?
+    Polite diseases make some idiots vain,
+  Which, if unfortunately well, they feign.
+    Of folly, vice, disease, men proud we see;
+  And (stranger still!) of blockheads' flattery;
+  Whose praise defames; as if a fool should mean,
+  By spitting on your face, to make it clean.
+    Nor is't enough all hearts are swoln with pride,
+  Her power is mighty, as her realm is wide.
+  What can she not perform? The love of fame
+  Made bold Alphonsus his Creator blame:
+  Empedocles hurl'd down the burning steep:
+  And (stronger still!) made Alexander weep.
+  Nay, it holds Delia from a second bed,
+  Tho' her lov'd lord has four half months been dead.
+    This passion with a pimple have I seen
+  Retard a cause, and give a judge the spleen.
+  By this inspir'd (O ne'er to be forgot!)
+  Some lords have learn'd to spell, and some to knot.
+  It makes Globose a speaker in the house;
+  He hems, and is deliver'd of his mouse.
+  It makes dear self on well-bred tongues prevail,
+  And I the little hero of each tale.
+    Sick with the love of fame, what throngs pour in,
+  Unpeople court, and leave the senate thin!
+  My glowing subject seems but just begun,
+  And, chariot-like, I kindle as I run.
+  Aid me, great Homer! with thy epic rules,
+  To take a catalogue of British fools.
+  Satire! had I thy Dorset's force divine,
+  A knave or fool should perish in each line;
+  Tho' for the first all Westminster should plead,
+  And for the last, all Gresham intercede.
+    Begin. Who first the catalogue shall grace?
+  To quality belongs the highest place.
+  My lord comes forward; forward let him come!
+  Ye vulgar! at your peril, give him room:
+  He stands for fame on his forefathers' feet,
+  By heraldry prov'd valiant or discreet.
+  With what a decent pride he throws his eyes
+  Above the man by three descents less wise!
+  If virtues at his noble hands you crave,
+  You bid him raise his fathers from the grave.
+  Men should press forward in fame's glorious chase;
+  Nobles look backward, and so lose the race.
+    Let high birth triumph! What can be more great?
+  Nothing--but merit in a low estate.
+  To virtue's humblest son let none prefer
+  Vice, though descended from the conqueror.
+  Shall men, like figures, pass for high, or base,
+  Slight, or important, only by their place?
+  Titles are marks of honest men, and wise;
+  The fool, or knave, that wears a title, lies.
+    They that on glorious ancestors enlarge,
+  Produce their debt, instead of their discharge.
+  Dorset, let those who proudly boast their line,
+  Like thee, in worth hereditary, shine.
+  Vain as false greatness is, the muse must own
+  We want not fools to buy that Bristol stone;
+  Mean sons of earth, who, on a south-sea tide
+  Of full success, swarm into wealth and pride;
+  Knock with a purse of gold at Anstis' gate,
+  And beg to be descended from the great.
+    When men of infamy to grandeur soar,
+  They light a torch to show their shame the more.
+  Those governments which curb not evils, cause!
+  And a rich knave's a libel on our laws.
+    Belus with solid glory will be crown'd;
+  He buys no phantom, no vain empty sound;
+  But builds himself a name; and, to be great,
+  Sinks in a quarry an immense estate!
+  In cost and grandeur, Chandos he'll outdo;
+  And Burlington, thy taste is not so true.
+  The pile is finish'd! ev'ry toil is past;
+  And full perfection is arriv'd at last;
+  When, lo! my lord to some small corner runs,
+  And leaves state-rooms to strangers and to duns.
+    The man who builds, and wants wherewith to pay,
+  Provides a home from which to run away.
+  In Britain, what is many a lordly seat,
+  But a discharge in full for an estate?
+    In smaller compass lies Pygmalion's fame;
+  Not domes, but antique statues, are his flame:
+  Not Fountaine's self more Parian charms has known,
+  Nor is good Pembroke more in love with stone.
+  The bailiffs come (rude men profanely bold!)
+  And bid him turn his Venus into gold.
+  "No, sirs," he cries; "I'll sooner rot in jail;
+  Shall Grecian arts be truck'd for English bail?"
+  Such heads might make their very busto's laugh:
+  His daughter starves; but(7) Cleopatra's safe.
+    Men, overloaded with a large estate,
+  May spill their treasure in a nice conceit:
+  The rich may be polite; but, oh! 'tis sad
+  To say you're curious, when we swear you're mad.
+  By your revenue measure your expense;
+  And to your funds and acres join your sense.
+  No man is bless'd by accident or guess;
+  True wisdom is the price of happiness:
+  Yet few without long discipline are sage;
+  And our youth only lays up sighs for age.
+  But how, my muse, canst thou resist so long
+  The bright temptation of the courtly throng,
+  Thy most inviting theme? The court affords
+  Much food for satire;--it abounds in lords.
+  "What lords are those saluting with a grin?"
+  One is just out, and one as lately in.
+  "How comes it then to pass we see preside
+  On both their brows an equal share of pride?"
+  Pride, that impartial passion, reigns through all,
+  Attends our glory, nor deserts our fall.
+  As in its home it triumphs in high place,
+  And frowns a haughty exile in disgrace.
+  Some lords it bids admire their wands so white,
+  Which bloom, like Aaron's, to their ravish'd sight:
+  Some lords it bids resign; and turn their wands,
+  Like Moses', into serpents in their hands.
+  These sink, as divers, for renown; and boast,
+  With pride inverted, of their honours lost.
+  But against reason sure 'tis equal sin,
+  To boast of merely being out, or in.
+    What numbers here, through odd ambition, strive
+  To seem the most transported things alive!
+  As if by joy, desert was understood;
+  And all the fortunate were wise and good.
+  Hence aching bosoms wear a visage gay,
+  And stifled groans frequent the ball and play.
+  Completely drest by(8) Monteuil, and grimace,
+  They take their birth-day suit, and public face:
+  Their smiles are only part of what they wear,
+  Put off at night, with Lady B----'s hair.
+  What bodily fatigue is half so bad?
+  With anxious care they labour to be glad.
+    What numbers, here, would into fame advance,
+  Conscious of merit, in the coxcomb's dance;
+  The tavern! park! assembly! mask! and play!
+  Those dear destroyers of the tedious day!
+  That wheel of fops! that saunter of the town!
+  Call it diversion, and the pill goes down.
+  Fools grin on fools, and, stoic-like, support,
+  Without one sigh, the pleasures of a court.
+  Courts can give nothing, to the wise and good,
+  But scorn of pomp, and love of solitude.
+  High stations tumult, but not bliss, create:
+  None think the great unhappy, but the great:
+  Fools gaze, and envy; envy darts a sting,
+  Which makes a swain as wretched as a king.
+    I envy none their pageantry and show;
+  I envy none the gilding of their woe.
+  Give me, indulgent gods! with mind serene,
+  And guiltless heart, to range the sylvan scene;
+  No splendid poverty, no smiling care,
+  No well-bred hate, or servile grandeur, there:
+  There pleasing objects useful thought suggest;
+  The sense is ravish'd, and the soul is blest;
+  On every thorn delightful wisdom grows;
+  In every rill a sweet instruction flows.
+  But some, untaught, o'erhear the whisp'ring rill,
+  In spite of sacred leisure, blockheads still;
+  Nor shoots up folly to a nobler bloom
+  In her own native soil, the drawing-room.
+    The squire is proud to see his coursers strain,
+  Or well-breath'd beagles sweep along the plain.
+  Say, dear Hippolitus, (whose drink is ale,
+  Whose erudition is a Christmas tale,
+  Whose mistress is saluted with a smack,
+  And friend receiv'd with thumps upon the back,)
+  When thy sleek gelding nimbly leaps the mound,
+  And Ringwood opens on the tainted ground,
+  Is that thy praise? Let Ringwood's fame alone;
+  Just Ringwood leaves each animal his own;
+  Nor envies, when a gipsy you commit,
+  And shake the clumsy bench with country wit;
+  When you the dullest of dull things have said,
+  And then ask pardon for the jest you made.
+    Here breathe, my muse! and then thy task renew:
+  Ten thousand fools unsung are still in view.
+  Fewer lay-atheists made by church debates;
+  Fewer great beggars fam'd for large estates;
+  Ladies, whose love is constant as the wind;
+  Cits, who prefer a guinea to mankind;
+  Fewer grave lords to Scrope discreetly bend;
+  And fewer shocks a statesman gives his friend.
+    Is there a man of an eternal vein,
+  Who lulls the town in winter with his strain,
+  At Bath, in summer, chants the reigning lass,
+  And sweetly whistles, as the waters pass?
+  Is there a tongue, like Delia's o'er her cup,
+  That runs for ages without winding up?
+  Is there, whom his tenth epic mounts to fame?
+  Such, and such only, might exhaust my theme:
+  Nor would these heroes of the task be glad;
+  For who can write so fast as men run mad?
+
+
+
+
+                                Satire II
+
+
+  My muse, proceed, and reach thy destin'd end;
+  Though toils and danger the bold task attend.
+  Heroes and gods make other poems fine;
+  Plain satire calls for sense in every line:
+  Then, to what swarms thy faults I dare expose!
+  All friends to vice and folly are thy foes.
+  When such the foe, a war eternal wage;
+  'Tis most ill-nature to repress thy rage:
+  And if these strains some nobler muse excite,
+  I'll glory in the verse I did not write.
+    So weak are human kind by nature made,
+  Or to such weakness by their vice betray'd,
+  Almighty vanity! to thee they owe
+  Their zest of pleasure, and their balm of woe.
+  Thou, like the sun, all colours dost contain,
+  Varying, like rays of light, on drops of rain.
+  For every soul finds reasons to be proud,
+  Tho' hiss'd and hooted by the pointing crowd.
+    Warm in pursuit of foxes, and renown,
+  (9)Hippolitus demands the sylvan crown;
+  But Florio's fame, the product of a shower,
+  Grows in his garden, an illustrious flower!
+  Why teems the earth? Why melt the vernal skies?
+  Why shines the sun? To make(10) Paul Diack rise.
+  From morn to night has Florio gazing stood,
+  And wonder'd how the gods could be so good;
+  What shape! what hue! was ever nymph so fair!
+  He dotes! he dies! he too is rooted there.
+  O solid bliss! which nothing can destroy,
+  Except a cat, bird, snail, or idle boy.
+  In fame's full bloom lies Florio down at night,
+  And wakes next day a most inglorious wight;
+  The tulip's dead! See thy fair sister's fate,
+  O C----! and be kind ere 'tis too late.
+    Nor are those enemies I mention'd, all;
+  Beware, O florist, thy ambition's fall.
+  A friend of mine indulg'd this noble flame;
+  A quaker serv'd him, Adam was his name;
+  To one lov'd tulip oft the master went,
+  Hung o'er it, and whole days in rapture spent;
+  But came, and miss'd it, one ill-fated hour:
+  He rag'd! he roar'd! "What demon cropt my flower?"
+  Serene, quoth Adam, "Lo! 'twas crusht by me;
+  Fall'n is the Baal to which thou bow'dst thy knee."
+    But all men want amusement; and what crime
+  In such a paradise to fool their time?
+  None: but why proud of this? to fame they soar;
+  We grant they're idle, if they'll ask no more.
+    We smile at florists, we despise their joy,
+  And think their hearts enamour'd of a toy:
+  But are those wiser whom we most admire,
+  Survey with envy, and pursue with fire?
+  What's he who sighs for wealth, or fame, or power?
+  Another Florio doting on a flower;
+  A short liv'd flower; and which has often sprung
+  From sordid arts, as Florio's out of dung.
+  With what, O Codrus! is thy fancy smit?
+  The flower of learning, and the bloom of wit.
+  The gaudy shelves with crimson bindings glow,
+  And Epictetus is a perfect beau.
+  How fit for thee! bound up in crimson too,
+  Gilt, and, like them, devoted to the view!
+  Thy books are furniture. Methinks 'tis hard
+  That science should be purchas'd by the yard;
+  And Tonson, turn'd upholsterer, send home
+  The gilded leather to fit up thy room.
+    If not to some peculiar end design'd,
+  Study's the specious trifling of the mind;
+  Or is at best a secondary aim,
+  A chase for sport alone, and not for game.
+  If so, sure they who the mere volume prize,
+  But love the thicket where the quarry lies.
+    On buying books Lorenzo long was bent,
+  But found at length that it reduc'd his rent;
+  His farms were flown; when, lo! a sale comes on,
+  A choice collection! what is to be done?
+  He sells his last; for he the whole will buy;
+  Sells ev'n his house; nay, wants whereon to lie:
+  So high the gen'rous ardour of the man
+  For Romans, Greeks, and Orientals ran.
+  When terms were drawn, and brought him by the clerk,
+  Lorenzo sign'd the bargain--with his mark.
+  Unlearned men of books assume the care,
+  As eunuchs are the guardians of the fair.
+    Not in his authors' liveries alone
+  Is Codrus' erudite ambition shown:
+  Editions various, at high prices bought,
+  Inform the world what Codrus would be thought;
+  And to his cost another must succeed
+  To pay a sage, who says that he can read;
+  Who titles knows, and indexes has seen;
+  But leaves to Chesterfield what lies between;
+  Of pompous books who shuns the proud expense,
+  And humbly is contented with their sense.
+    O Stanhope, whose accomplishments make good
+  The promise of a long illustrious blood,
+  In arts and manners eminently grac'd,
+  The strictest honour! and the finest taste!
+  Accept this verse; if satire can agree
+  With so consummate a humanity.
+    By your example would Hilario mend,
+  How would it grace the talents of my friend,
+  Who, with the charms of his own genius smit,
+  Conceives all virtues are compris'd in wit!
+  But time his fervent petulance may cool;
+  For though he is a wit, he is no fool.
+  In time he'll learn to use, not waste, his sense;
+  Nor make a frailty of an excellence.
+  He spares nor friend, nor foe; but calls to mind,
+  Like doomsday, all the faults of all mankind.
+    What though wit tickles? tickling is unsafe,
+  If still 'tis painful while it makes us laugh.
+  Who, for the poor renown of being smart,
+  Would leave a sting within a brother's heart?
+    Parts may be prais'd, good-nature is ador'd;
+  Then draw your wit as seldom as your sword;
+  And never on the weak; or you'll appear
+  As there no hero, no great genius here.
+  As in smooth oil the razor best is whet,
+  So wit is by politeness sharpest set:
+  Their want of edge from their offence is seen;
+  Both pain us least when exquisitely keen.
+  The fame men give is for the joy they find;
+  Dull is the jester, when the joke's unkind.
+    Since Marcus, doubtless, thinks himself a wit,
+  To pay my compliment, what place so fit?
+  His most facetious(11)letters came to hand,
+  Which my first satire sweetly reprimand:
+  If that a just offence to Marcus gave,
+  Say, Marcus, which art thou, a fool, or knave?
+  For all but such with caution I forbore;
+  That thou wast either, I ne'er knew before:
+  I know thee now, both what thou art, and who;
+  No mask so good, but Marcus must shine through:
+  False names are vain, thy lines their author tell;
+  Thy best concealment had been writing well:
+  But thou a brave neglect of fame hast shown,
+  Of others' fame, great genius! and thy own.
+  Write on unheeded; and this maxim know,
+  The man who pardons, disappoints his foe.
+    In malice to proud wits, some proudly lull
+  Their peevish reason; vain of being dull;
+  When some home joke has stung their solemn souls,
+  In vengeance they determine to be fools;
+  Through spleen, that little nature gave, make less,
+  Quite zealous in the way of heaviness;
+  To lumps inanimate a fondness take;
+  And disinherit sons that are awake.
+  These, when their utmost venom they would spit,
+  Most barbarously tell you--"He's a wit."
+  Poor negroes, thus, to show their burning spite
+  To cacodemons, say, they're dev'lish white.
+    Lampridius, from the bottom of his breast,
+  Sighs o'er one child; but triumphs in the rest.
+  How just his grief! one carries in his head
+  A less proportion of the father's lead;
+  And is in danger, without special grace,
+  To rise above a justice of the peace.
+  The dunghill breed of men a diamond scorn,
+  And feel a passion for a grain of corn;
+  Some stupid, plodding, monkey-loving wight,
+  Who wins their hearts by knowing black from white,
+  Who with much pains, exerting all his sense,
+  Can range aright his shillings, pounds, and pence.
+    The booby father craves a booby son;
+  And by heaven's blessing thinks himself undone.
+    Wants of all kinds are made to fame a plea;
+  One learns to lisp; another not to see:
+  Miss D----, tottering, catches at your hand:
+  Was ever thing so pretty born to stand?
+  Whilst these, what nature gave, disown, through pride,
+  Others affect what nature has denied;
+  What nature has denied, fools will pursue,
+  As apes are ever walking upon two.
+    Crassus, a grateful sage, our awe and sport!
+  Supports grave forms; for forms the sage support.
+  He hems; and cries, with an important air,
+  "If yonder clouds withdraw it will be fair:"
+  Then quotes the Stagyrite, to prove it true;
+  And adds, "The learn'd delight in something new."
+  Is't not enough the blockhead scarce can read,
+  But must he wisely look, and gravely plead?
+  As far a formalist from wisdom sits,
+  In judging eyes, as libertines from wits.
+    These subtle wights (so blind are mortal men,
+  Though satire couch them with her keenest pen)
+  For ever will hang out a solemn face,
+  To put off nonsense with a better grace:
+  As pedlers with some hero's head make bold,
+  Illustrious mark! where pins are to be sold.
+  What's the bent brow, or neck in thought reclin'd?
+  The body's wisdom to conceal the mind.
+  A man of sense can artifice disdain;
+  As men of wealth may venture to go plain;
+  And be this truth eternal ne'er forgot,
+  Solemnity's a cover for a sot.
+  I find the fool, when I behold the screen;
+  For 'tis the wise man's interest to be seen.
+    Hence, Chesterfield, that openness of heart,
+  And just disdain for that poor mimic art;
+  Hence (manly praise!) that manner nobly free,
+  Which all admire, and I commend, in thee.
+  With generous scorn how oft hast thou survey'd
+  Of court and town the noontide masquerade;
+  Where swarms of knaves the vizor quite disgrace,
+  And hide secure behind a naked face?
+  Where nature's end of language is declin'd,
+  And men talk only to conceal the mind;
+  Where gen'rous hearts the greatest hazard run,
+  And he who trusts a brother, is undone?
+    These all their care expend on outward show
+  For wealth and fame; for fame alone, the beau.
+  Of late at White's was young Florello seen!
+  How blank his look! how discompos'd his mien!
+  So hard it proves in grief sincere to feign!
+  Sunk were his spirits; for his coat was plain.
+    Next day his breast regain'd its wonted peace;
+  His health was mended with a silver lace.
+  A curious artist, long inur'd to toils
+  Of gentler sort, with combs, and fragrant oils,
+  Whether by chance, or by some god inspir'd,
+  So touch'd his curls, his mighty soul was fir'd.
+  The well swoln ties an equal homage claim,
+  And either shoulder has its share of fame;
+  His sumptuous watch-case, tho' conceal'd it lies,
+  Like a good conscience, solid joy supplies.
+  He only thinks himself (so far from vain!)
+  Stanhope in wit, in breeding Deloraine.
+  Whene'er, by seeming chance, he throws his eye
+  On mirrors that reflect his Tyrian dye,
+  With how sublime a transport leaps his heart!
+  But fate ordains that dearest friends must part.
+  In active measures, brought from France, he wheels,
+  And triumphs, conscious of his learned heels.
+    So have I seen, on some bright summer's day,
+  A calf of genius, debonnair and gay,
+  Dance on the bank, as if inspir'd by fame,
+  Fond of the pretty fellow in the stream.
+    Morose is sunk with shame, whene'er surpris'd
+  In linen clean, or peruke undisguis'd.
+  No sublunary chance his vestments fear;
+  Valu'd, like leopards, as their spots appear.
+  A fam'd surtout he wears, which once was blue,
+  And his foot swims in a capacious shoe;
+  One day his wife (for who can wives reclaim?)
+  Levell'd her barb'rous needle at his fame:
+  But open force was vain; by night she went,
+  And while he slept, surpris'd the darling rent:
+  Where yawn'd the frieze is now become a doubt;
+  And glory, at one entrance, quite shut out.(12)
+    He scorns Florello, and Florello him;
+  This hates the filthy creature; that, the prim:
+  Thus, in each other, both these fools despise
+  Their own dear selves, with undiscerning eyes;
+  Their methods various, but alike their aim;
+  The sloven and the fopling are the same.
+    Ye whigs and tories! thus it fares with you,
+  When party rage too warmly you pursue;
+  Then both club nonsense, and impetuous pride,
+  And folly joins whom sentiments divide.
+  You vent your spleen, as monkeys, when they pass,
+  Scratch at the mimic monkey in the glass;
+  While both are one: and henceforth be it known,
+  Fools of both sides shall stand for fools alone.
+    "But who art thou?" methinks Florello cries;
+  "Of all thy species art thou only wise?"
+  Since smallest things can give our sins a twitch,
+  As crossing straws retard a passing witch,
+  Florello, thou my monitor shalt be;
+  I'll conjure thus some profit out of thee.
+  O thou myself! abroad our counsels roam,
+  And, like ill husbands, take no care at home:
+  Thou too art wounded with the common dart,
+  And love of fame lies throbbing at thy heart;
+  And what wise means to gain it hast thou chose?
+  Know, fame and fortune both are made of prose.
+  Is thy ambition sweating for a rhyme,
+  Thou unambitious fool, at this late time?
+  While I a moment name, a moment's past;
+  I'm nearer death in this verse, than the last:
+  What then is to be done? Be wise with speed;
+  A fool at forty is a fool indeed.
+    And what so foolish as the chance of fame?
+  How vain the prize! how impotent our aim!
+  For what are men who grasp at praise sublime,
+  But bubbles on the rapid stream of time,
+  That rise, and fall, that swell, and are no more,
+  Born, and forgot, ten thousand in an hour?
+
+
+
+
+                               Satire III.
+
+
+                  To the Right Honorable Mr. Dodington.
+
+
+  Long, Dodington, in debt, I long have sought
+  To ease the burthen of my grateful thought;
+  And now a poet's gratitude you see;
+  Grant him two favours, and he'll ask for three:
+  For whose the present glory, or the gain?
+  You give protection, I a worthless strain.
+  You love and feel the poet's sacred flame;
+  And know the basis of a solid fame;
+  Tho' prone to like, yet cautious to commend,
+  You read with all the malice of a friend;
+  Nor favour my attempts that way alone,
+  But, more to raise my verse, conceal your own.
+    An ill-tim'd modesty! turn ages o'er,
+  When wanted Britain bright examples more?
+  Her learning, and her genius too, decays,
+  And dark and cold are her declining days;
+  As if men now were of another cast,
+  They meanly live on alms of ages past.
+  Men still are men; and they who boldly dare,
+  Shall triumph o'er the sons of cold despair;
+  Or, if they fail, they justly still take place
+  Of such who run in debt for their disgrace;
+  Who borrow much, then fairly make it known,
+  And damn it with improvements of their own.
+  We bring some new materials, and what's old
+  New cast with care, and in no borrow'd mould;
+  Late times the verse may read, if these refuse;
+  And from sour critics vindicate the muse.
+    "Your work is long," the critics cry. "Tis true,
+  And lengthens still, to take in fools like you:
+  Shorten my labour, if its length you blame;
+  For, grow but wise, you rob me of my game;
+  As hunted hags, who, while the dogs pursue,
+  Renounce their four legs, and start up on two.
+    Like the bold bird upon the banks of Nile,
+  That picks the teeth of the dire crocodile,
+  Will I enjoy, (dread feast!) the critic's rage,
+  And with the fell destroyer feed my page.
+  For what ambitious fools are more to blame,
+  Than those who thunder in the critic's name?
+  Good authors damn'd, have their revenge in this,
+  To see what wretches gain the praise they miss.
+    Balbutius, muffled in his sable cloak,
+  Like an old Druid from his hollow oak,
+  As ravens solemn, and as boding, cries,
+  "Ten thousand worlds for the three unities!"
+  Ye doctors sage, who thro' Parnassus teach,
+  Or quit the tub, or practise what you preach.
+    One judges as the weather dictates; right
+  The poem is at noon, and wrong at night:
+  Another judges by a surer gage,
+  An author's principles, or parentage;
+  Since his great ancestors in Flanders fell,
+  The poem doubtless must be written well.
+  Another judges by the writer's look;
+  Another judges, for he bought the book;
+  Some judge, their knack of judging wrong to keep;
+  Some judge, because it is too soon to sleep.
+    Thus all will judge, and with one single aim,
+  To gain themselves, not give the writer, fame.
+  The very best ambitiously advise,
+  Half to serve you, and half to pass for wise.
+    Critics on verse, as squibs on triumphs wait,
+  Proclaim the glory, and augment the state;
+  Hot, envious, noisy, proud, the scribbling fry
+  Burn, hiss, and bounce, waste paper, stink, and die.
+  Rail on, my friends! what more my verse can crown
+  Than Compton's smile, and your obliging frown?
+    Not all on books their criticism waste:
+  The genius of a dish some justly taste,
+  And eat their way to fame; with anxious thought
+  The salmon is refus'd, the turbot bought.
+  Impatient art rebukes the sun's delay,
+  And bids December yield the fruits of May;
+  Their various cares in one great point combine
+  The business of their lives, that is--to dine.
+  Half of their precious day they give the feast;
+  And to a kind digestion spare the rest.
+  Apicius, here, the taster of the town,
+  Feeds twice a week, to settle their renown.
+    These worthies of the palate guard with care
+  The sacred annals of their bills of fare;
+  In those choice books their panegyrics read,
+  And scorn the creatures that for hunger feed.
+  If man by feeding well commences great,
+  Much more the worm to whom that man is meat.
+  To glory some advance a lying claim,
+  Thieves of renown, and pilferers of fame:
+  Their front supplies what their ambition lacks;
+  They know a thousand lords, behind their backs.
+  Cottil is apt to wink upon a peer,
+  When turn'd away, with a familiar leer;
+  And Harvey's eyes, unmercifully keen,
+  Have murder'd fops, by whom she ne'er was seen.
+  Niger adopts stray libels; wisely prone
+  To covet shame still greater than his own.
+  Bathyllus, in the winter of threescore,
+  Belies his innocence, and keeps a whore.
+  Absence of mind Brabantio turns to fame,
+  Learns to mistake, nor knows his brother's name;
+  Has words and thoughts in nice disorder set,
+  And takes a memorandum to forget.
+  Thus vain, not knowing what adorns, or blots,
+  Men forge the patents, that create them sots.
+    As love of pleasure into pain betrays,
+  So most grow infamous thro' love of praise.
+  But whence for praise can such an ardour rise,
+  When those, who bring that incense, we despise?
+  For such the vanity of great and small,
+  Contempt goes round, and all men laugh at all.
+    Nor can ev'n satire blame them; for, 'tis true,
+  They have most ample cause for what they do.
+  O fruitful Britain! doubtless thou wast meant
+  A nurse of fools, to stock the continent.
+  Tho' Phoebus and the Nine for ever mow,
+  Rank folly underneath the scythe will grow.
+  The plenteous harvest calls me forward still,
+  Till I surpass in length my lawyer's bill;
+  A Welsh descent, which well paid heralds damn;
+  Or, longer still, a Dutchman's epigram.
+  When, cloy'd, in fury I throw down my pen,
+  In comes a coxcomb, and I write again.
+    See Tityrus, with merriment possest,
+  Is burst with laughter, ere he hears the jest:
+  What need he stay? for when the joke is o'er,
+  His teeth will be no whiter than before.
+  Is there of these, ye fair! so great a dearth,
+  That you need purchase monkeys for your mirth?
+    Some, vain of paintings, bid the world admire;
+  Of houses some; nay, houses that they hire:
+  Some (perfect wisdom!) of a beauteous wife;
+  And boast, like Cordeliers, a scourge for life.
+    Sometimes, thro' pride, the sexes change their airs;
+  My lord has vapours, and my lady swears;
+  Then, stranger still! on turning of the wind,
+  My lord wears breeches, and my lady's kind.
+    To show the strength, and infamy of pride,
+  By all 'tis follow'd, and by all denied.
+  What numbers are there, which at once pursue
+  Praise, and the glory to contemn it, too!
+  Vincenna knows self-praise betrays to shame,
+  And therefore lays a stratagem for fame;
+  Makes his approach in modesty's disguise,
+  To win applause; and takes it by surprise.
+  "To err," says he, "in small things, is my fate."
+  You know your answer, he's exact in great.
+  "My style," says he, "is rude and full of faults."
+  But oh! what sense! what energy of thoughts!
+  That he wants algebra, he must confess;
+  But not a soul to give our arms success.
+  "Ah; that's a hit indeed," Vincenna cries;
+  "But who in heat of blood was ever wise?
+  I own 'twas wrong, when thousands call'd me back,
+  To make that hopeless, ill-advis'd attack;
+  All say, 'twas madness; nor dare I deny;
+  Sure never fool so well deserv'd to die."
+  Could this deceive in others, to be free,
+  It ne'er, Vincenna, could deceive in thee;
+  Whose conduct is a comment to thy tongue,
+  So clear, the dullest cannot take thee wrong.
+  Thou on one sleeve wilt thy revenues wear;
+  And haunt the court, without a prospect there.
+  Are these expedients for renown? Confess
+  Thy little self, that I may scorn thee less.
+    Be wise, Vincenna, and the court forsake;
+  Our fortunes there, nor thou, nor I, shall make.
+  Ev'n men of merit, ere their point they gain,
+  In hardy service make a long campaign;
+  Most manfully besiege their patron's gate,
+  And oft repuls'd, as oft attack the great
+  With painful art, and application warm,
+  And take, at last, some little place by storm;
+  Enough to keep two shoes on Sunday clean,
+  And starve upon discreetly, in Sheer Lane.
+  Already this thy fortune can afford;
+  Then starve without the favour of my lord.
+  'Tis true, great fortunes some great men confer;
+  But often, ev'n in doing right, they err:
+  From caprice, not from choice, their favours come;
+  They give, but think it toil to know to whom:
+  The man that's nearest, yawning, they advance:
+  'Tis inhumanity to bless by chance.
+  If merit sues, and greatness is so loth
+  To break its downy trance, I pity both.
+    I grant at court, Philander, at his need,
+  (Thanks to his lovely wife) finds friends indeed.
+  Of every charm and virtue she's possest:
+  Philander! thou art exquisitely blest;
+  The public envy! Now then, 'tis allow'd,
+  The man is found, who may be justly proud:
+  But, see! how sickly is ambition's taste!
+  Ambition feeds on trash, and loaths a feast;
+  For, lo! Philander, of reproach afraid,
+  In secret loves his wife, but keeps her maid.
+    Some nymphs sell reputation; others buy;
+  And love a market where the rates run high:
+  Italian music's sweet, because 'tis dear;
+  Their vanity is tickled, not their ear:
+  Their taste would lessen, if the prices fell,
+  And Shakespeare's wretched stuff do quite as well;
+  Away the disenchanted fair would throng,
+  And own that English is their mother tongue.
+    To show how much our northern tastes refine,
+  Imported nymphs our peeresses outshine;
+  While tradesmen starve, these Philomels are gay;
+  For generous lords had rather give than pay.
+    Behold the masquerade's fantastic scene!
+  The legislature join'd with Drury Lane!
+  When Britain calls, th' embroider'd patriots run,
+  And serve their country--if the dance is done.
+  "Are we not then allow'd to be polite?"
+  Yes, doubtless; but first set your notions right.
+  Worth, of politeness, is the needful ground;
+  Where that is wanting, this can ne'er be found.
+  Triflers not e'en in trifles can excel;
+  'Tis solid bodies only polish well.
+    Great, chosen prophet! For these latter days,
+  To turn a willing world from righteous ways!
+  Well, Heydegger, dost thou thy master serve;
+  Well has he seen his servant should not starve.
+  Thou to his name hast splendid temples rais'd;
+  In various forms of worship seen him prais'd,
+  Gaudy devotion, like a Roman, shown,
+  And sung sweet anthems in a tongue unknown.
+  Inferior off'rings to thy god of vice
+  Are duly paid, in fiddles, cards, and dice;
+  Thy sacrifice supreme, a hundred maids!
+  That solemn rite of midnight masquerades!
+  If maids the quite exhausted town denies,
+  A hundred heads of cuckolds may suffice.
+  Thou smil'st, well pleas'd with the converted land,
+  To see the fifty churches at a stand.
+  And that thy minister may never fail,
+  But what thy hand has planted still prevail,
+  Of minor prophets a succession sure
+  The propagation of thy zeal secure.
+    See commons, peers, and ministers of state,
+  In solemn council met, and deep debate!
+  What godlike enterprise is taking birth?
+  What wonder opens on th' expecting earth?
+  'Tis done! with loud applause the council rings!
+  Fix'd is the fate of whores and fiddle-strings!
+    Tho' bold these truths, thou, muse, with truths like these,
+  Wilt none offend, whom 'tis a praise to please:
+  Let others flatter to be flatter'd, thou,
+  Like just tribunals, bend an awful brow.
+  How terrible it were to common sense,
+  To write a satire, which gave none offence!
+  And, since from life I take the draughts you see,
+  If men dislike them, do they censure me?
+  The fool, and knave, 'tis glorious to offend,
+  And godlike an attempt the world to mend;
+  The world, where lucky throws to blockheads fall,
+  Knaves know the game, and honest men pay all.
+    How hard for real worth to gain its price!
+  A man shall make his fortune in a trice,
+  If blest with pliant, tho' but slender, sense,
+  Feign'd modesty, and real impudence:
+  A supple knee, smooth tongue, an easy grace,
+  A curse within, a smile upon his face;
+  A beauteous sister, or convenient wife,
+  Are prizes in the lottery of life;
+  Genius and virtue they will soon defeat,
+  And lodge you in the bosom of the great.
+  To merit, is but to provide a pain
+  For men's refusing what you ought to gain.
+    May, Dodington, this maxim fail in you,
+  Whom my presaging thoughts already view
+  By Walpole's conduct fir'd, and friendship grac'd,
+  Still higher in your prince's favour plac'd;
+  And lending, here, those awful councils aid,
+  Which you, abroad, with such success obey'd:
+  Bear this from one, who holds your friendship dear;
+  What most we wish, with ease we fancy near.
+
+
+
+
+                                Satire IV.
+
+
+               To the Right Honourable Sir Spencer Compton.
+
+
+  Round some fair tree th' ambitious woodbine grows,
+  And breathes her sweets on the supporting boughs;
+  So sweet the verse, th' ambitious verse, should be,
+  (O! pardon mine) that hopes support from thee;
+  Thee, Compton, born o'er senates to preside,
+  Their dignity to raise, their councils guide;
+  Deep to discern, and widely to survey,
+  And kingdoms' fates, without ambition, weigh;
+  Of distant virtues nice extremes to blend,
+  The crown's asserter, and the people's friend:
+  Nor dost thou scorn, amid sublimer views,
+  To listen to the labours of the muse;
+  Thy smiles protect her, while thy talents fire,
+  And 'tis but half thy glory to inspire.
+  Vex'd at a public fame, so justly won,
+  The jealous Chremes is with spleen undone;
+  Chremes, for airy pensions of renown,
+  Devotes his service to the state and crown;
+  All schemes he knows, and, knowing, all improves,
+  Tho' Britain's thankless, still this patriot loves:
+  But patriots differ; some may shed their blood,
+  He drinks his coffee, for the public good;
+  Consults the sacred steam, and there foresees
+  What storms, or sunshine, Providence decrees;
+  Knows, for each day, the weather of our fate;
+  A quid nunc is an almanack of state.
+    You smile, and think this statesman void of use:
+  Why may not time his secret worth produce?
+  Since apes can roast the choice Castanian nut,
+  Since steeds of genius are expert at put;
+  Since half the senate not content can say,
+  Geese nations save, and puppies plots betray.
+    What makes him model realms, and counsel kings?
+  An incapacity for smaller things:
+  Poor Chremes can't conduct his own estate,
+  And thence has undertaken Europe's fate.
+    Gehenno leaves the realm to Chremes' skill,
+  And boldly claims a province higher still:
+  To raise a name, th' ambitious boy has got,
+  At once, a Bible, and a shoulder-knot;
+  Deep in the secret, he looks thro' the whole,
+  And pities the dull rogue that saves his soul;
+  To talk with rev'rence you must take good heed,
+  Nor shock his tender reason with the creed:
+  Howe'er well bred, in public he complies,
+  Obliging friends alone with blasphemies.
+    Peerage is poison, good estates are bad
+  For this disease; poor rogues run seldom mad.
+  Have not attainders brought unhop'd relief,
+  And falling stocks quite cur'd an unbelief?
+  While the sun shines, Blunt talks with wondrous force;
+  But thunder mars small beer, and weak discourse.
+  Such useful instruments the weather show,
+  Just as their mercury is high or low:
+  Health chiefly keeps an atheist in the dark;
+  A fever argues better than a Clarke:
+  Let but the logic in his pulse decay,
+  The Grecian he'll renounce, and learn to pray,
+  While C---- mourns, with an unfeign'd zeal,
+  Th' apostate youth, who reason'd once so well.
+    C----, who makes so merry with the creed;
+  He almost thinks he disbelieves indeed;
+  But only thinks so; to give both their due,
+  Satan, and he, believe, and tremble too.
+  Of some for glory such the boundless rage,
+  That they're the blackest scandal of their age.
+    Narcissus the Tartarian club disclaims;
+  Nay, a free-mason, with some terror, names;
+  Omits no duty; nor can envy say,
+  He miss'd, these many years, the church, or play:
+  He makes no noise in parliament, 'tis true;
+  But pays his debts, and visit, when 'tis due;
+  His character and gloves are ever clean,
+  And then, he can out-bow the bowing dean;
+  A smile eternal on his lip he wears,
+  Which equally the wise and worthless shares.
+  In gay fatigues, this most undaunted chief,
+  Patient of idleness beyond belief,
+  Most charitably lends the town his face,
+  For ornament, in ev'ry public place;
+  As sure as cards, he to th' assembly comes,
+  And is the furniture of drawing-rooms:
+  When ombre calls, his hand and heart are free,
+  And, join'd to two, he fails not--to make three:
+  Narcissus is the glory of his race;
+  For who does nothing with a better grace?
+    To deck my list, by nature were design'd
+  Such shining expletives of human kind,
+  Who want, while thro' blank life they dream along,
+  Sense to be right, and passion to be wrong.
+    To counterpoise this hero of the mode,
+  Some for renown are singular and odd;
+  What other men dislike, is sure to please,
+  Of all mankind, these dear antipodes;
+  Thro' pride, not malice, they run counter still,
+  And birthdays are their days of dressing ill,
+  Arbuthnot is a fool, and F---- a sage,
+  S--ly will fright you, E---- engage;
+  By nature streams run backward, flame descends,
+  Stones mount, and Sussex is the worst of friends;
+  They take their rest by day, and wake by night,
+  And blush, if you surprise them in the right;
+  If they by chance blurt out, ere well aware,
+  A swan is white, or Queensberry is fair.
+    Nothing exceeds in ridicule, no doubt,
+  A fool in fashion, but a fool that's out,
+  His passion for absurdity's so strong,
+  He cannot bear a rival in the wrong;
+  Tho' wrong the mode, comply; more sense is shown
+  In wearing others' follies, than your own.
+  If what is out of fashion most you prize,
+  Methinks you should endeavour to be wise.
+  But what in oddness can be more sublime
+  Than Sloane, the foremost toyman of his time?
+  His nice ambition lies in curious fancies,
+  His daughter's portion a rich shell inhances,
+  And Ashmole's baby-house is, in his view,
+  Britannia's golden mine, a rich Peru!
+  How his eyes languish! how his thoughts adore
+  That painted coat, which Joseph never wore!
+  He shows, on holidays, a sacred pin,
+  That touch'd the ruff, that touch'd Queen Bess's chin.
+    "Since that great dearth our chronicles deplore,
+  Since that great plague that swept as many more,
+  Was ever year unblest as this?" he'll cry,
+  "It has not brought us one new butterfly!"
+  In times that suffer such learn'd men as these,
+  Unhappy I----y! how came you to please?
+    Not gaudy butterflies are Lico's game;
+  But, in effect, his chase is much the same;
+  Warm in pursuit, he levees all the great,
+  Stanch to the foot of title and estate:
+  Where'er their lordships go, they never find
+  Or Lico, or their shadows, lag behind!
+  He sets them sure, where'er their lordships run,
+  Close at their elbows, as a morning dun;
+  As if their grandeur, by contagion, wrought,
+  And fame was, like a fever, to be caught:
+  But after seven years' dance, from place to place,
+  The(13) Dane is more familiar with his grace.
+    Who'd be a crutch to prop a rotten peer;
+  Or living pendant dangling at his ear,
+  For ever whisp'ring secrets, which were blown
+  For months before, by trumpets, thro' the town?
+  Who'd be a glass, with flattering grimace,
+  Still to reflect the temper of his face;
+  Or happy pin to stick upon his sleeve,
+  When my lord's gracious, and vouchsafes it leave;
+  Or cushion, when his heaviness shall please
+  To loll, or thump it, for his better ease;
+  Or a vile butt, for noon, or night, bespoke,
+  When the peer rashly swears he'll club his joke?
+  Who'd shake with laughter, tho' he could not find
+  His lordship's jest; or, if his nose broke wind,
+  For blessings to the gods profoundly bow,
+  That can cry, chimney sweep, or drive a plough?
+  With terms like these, how mean the tribe that close!
+  Scarce meaner they, who terms like these, impose.
+  But what's the tribe most likely to comply?
+  The men of ink, or ancient authors lie;
+  The writing tribe, who shameless auctions hold
+  Of praise, by inch of candle to be sold:
+  All men they flatter, but themselves the most,
+  With deathless fame, their everlasting boast:
+  For fame no cully makes so much her jest,
+  As her old constant spark, the bard profest.
+  "Boyle shines in council, Mordaunt in the fight,
+  Pelham's magnificent; but I can write,
+  And what to my great soul like glory dear?"
+  Till some god whispers in his tingling ear,
+  That fame's unwholesome taken without meat.
+  And life is best sustain'd by what is eat:
+  Grown lean, and wise, he curses what he writ,
+  And wishes all his wants were in his wit.
+    Ay! what avails it, when his dinner's lost,
+  That his triumphant name adorns a post?
+  Or that his shining page (provoking fate!)
+  Defends sirloins, which sons of dulness eat?
+    What foe to verse without compassion hears,
+  What cruel prose-man can refrain from tears,
+  When the poor muse, for less than half a crown,
+  A prostitute on every bulk in town,
+  With other whores undone, tho' not in print,
+  Clubs credit for Geneva in the mint?
+  Ye bards! why will you sing, tho' uninspir'd?
+  Ye bards! why will you starve, to be admir'd?
+  Defunct by Phoebus' laws, beyond redress,
+  Why will your spectres haunt the frighted press?
+  Bad metre, that excrescence of the head,
+  Like hair, will sprout, altho' the poet's dead.
+    All other trades demand, verse makers beg;
+  A dedication is a wooden leg;
+  A barren Labeo, the true mumper's fashion,
+  Exposes borrow'd brats to move compassion.
+  Tho' such myself, vile bards I discommend;
+  Nay more, tho' gentle Damon is my friend.
+  "Is 't then a crime to write?"--If talent rare
+  Proclaim the god, the crime is to forbear:
+  For some, tho' few, there are large-minded men,
+  Who watch unseen the labours of the pen;
+  Who know the muse's worth, and therefore court,
+  Their deeds her theme, their beauty her support;
+  Who serve, unask'd, the least pretence to wit;
+  My sole excuse, alas! for having writ.
+  Argyll true wit is studious to restore;
+  And Dorset smiles, if Phoebus smil'd before;
+  Pembroke in years the long-lov'd arts admires,
+  And Henrietta like a muse inspires.
+    But, ah! not inspiration can obtain
+  That fame, which poets languish for in vain.
+  How mad their aim, who thirst for glory, strive
+  To grasp, what no man can possess alive!
+  Fame's a reversion in which men take place
+  (O late reversion!) at their own decease.
+  This truth sagacious Lintot knows so well,
+  He starves his authors, that their works may sell.
+    That fame is wealth, fantastic poets cry;
+  That wealth is fame, another clan reply;
+  Who know no guilt, no scandal, but in rags;
+  And swell in just proportion to their bags.
+  Nor only the low-born, deform'd and old,
+  Think glory nothing but the beams of gold;
+  The first young lord, which in the mall you meet,
+  Shall match the veriest huncks in Lombard-street,
+  From rescu'd candles' ends, who rais'd a sum,
+  And starves to join a penny to a plumb.
+  A beardless miser! 'tis a guilt unknown
+  To former times, a scandal all our own.
+    Of ardent lovers, the true modern band
+  Will mortgage Celia to redeem their land.
+  For love, young, noble, rich, Castalio dies:
+  Name but the fair, love swells into his eyes.
+  Divine Monimia, thy fond fears lay down;
+  No rival can prevail,--but half a crown.
+    He glories to late times to be convey'd,
+  Not for the poor he has reliev'd, but made:
+  Not such ambition his great fathers fir'd,
+  When Harry conquer'd, and half France expir'd:
+  He'd be a slave, a pimp, a dog, for gain:
+  Nay, a dull sheriff, for his golden chain.
+    "Who'd be a slave?" the gallant colonel cries,
+  While love of glory sparkles from his eyes:
+  To deathless fame he loudly pleads his right,--
+  Just is his title,--for he will not fight:
+  All soldiers valour, all divines have grace,
+  As maids of honour beauty,--by their place:
+  But, when indulging on the last campaign,
+  His lofty terms climb o'er the hills of slain;
+  He gives the foes he slew, at each vain word,
+  A sweet revenge, and half absolves his sword.
+    Of boasting more than of a bomb afraid,
+  A soldier should be modest as a maid:
+  Fame is a bubble the reserv'd enjoy;
+  Who strive to grasp it, as they touch, destroy:
+  'Tis the world's debt to deeds of high degree;
+  But if you pay yourself, the world is free.
+    Were there no tongue to speak them but his own,
+  Augustus' deeds in arms had ne'er been known.
+  Augustus' deeds! if that ambiguous name
+  Confounds my reader, and misguides his aim,
+  Such is the prince's worth, of whom I speak,
+  The Roman would not blush at the mistake.

+
+                                Satire V.
+
+
+                                On Women.
+
+
+      O fairest of creation! last and best
+      Of all God's works! Creature in whom excell'd
+      Whatever can to sight, or thought, be form'd!
+      Holy, divine, good, amiable, or sweet!
+      How art thou lost!------
+
+                                                               MILTON.
+
+
+  Nor reigns ambition in bold man alone;
+  Soft female hearts the rude invader own:
+  But there, indeed, it deals in nicer things,
+  Than routing armies, and dethroning kings:
+  Attend, and you discern it in the fair
+  Conduct a finger, or reclaim a hair;
+  Or roll the lucid orbit of an eye;
+  Or, in full joy, elaborate a sigh.
+    The sex we honour, tho' their faults we blame;
+  Nay, thank their faults for such a fruitful theme:
+  A theme, fair ----! doubly kind to me,
+  Since satirizing those is praising thee;
+  Who wouldst not bear, too modestly refin'd,
+  A panegyric of a grosser kind.
+    Britannia's daughters, much more fair than nice,
+  Too fond of admiration, lose their price;
+  Worn in the public eye, give cheap delight
+  To throngs, and tarnish to the sated sight:
+  As unreserv'd, and beauteous, as the sun,
+  Through every sign of vanity they run;
+  Assemblies, parks, coarse feasts in city-halls,
+  Lectures, and trials, plays, committees, balls,
+  Wells, bedlams, executions, Smithfield scenes,
+  And fortune-tellers' caves, and lions' dens,
+  Taverns, exchanges, bridewells, drawing-rooms,
+  Installments, pillories, coronations, tombs,
+  Tumblers, and funerals, puppet-shows, reviews,
+  Sales, races, rabbits, (and still stranger!) pews.
+    Clarinda's bosom burns, but burns for fame;
+  And love lies vanquished in a nobler flame;
+  Warm gleams of hope she, now, dispenses; then,
+  Like April suns, dives into clouds again:
+  With all her lustre, now, her lover warms;
+  Then, out of ostentation, hides her charms:
+  'Tis, next, her pleasure sweetly to complain,
+  And to be taken with a sudden pain;
+  Then, she starts up, all ecstasy and bliss,
+  And is, sweet soul! just as sincere in this:
+  O how she rolls her charming eyes in spite!
+  And looks delightfully with all her might!
+  But, like our heroes, much more brave than wise,
+  She conquers for the triumph, not the prize.
+    Zara resembles �tna crown'd with snows;
+  Without she freezes, and within she glows:
+  Twice ere the sun descends, with zeal inspir'd,
+  From the vain converse of the world retir'd,
+  She reads the psalms and chapters for the day,
+  In ---- Cleopatra, or the last new play.
+  Thus gloomy Zara, with a solemn grace,
+  Deceives mankind, and hides behind her face.
+    Nor far beneath her in renown, is she,
+  Who, through good breeding, is ill company;
+  Whose manners will not let her larum cease,
+  Who thinks you are unhappy, when at peace;
+  To find you news, who racks her subtle head,
+  And vows--that her great-grandfather is dead.
+    A dearth of words a woman need not fear,
+  But 'tis a task indeed to learn--to hear:
+  In that the skill of conversation lies;
+  That shows, or makes, you both polite and wise.
+    Xantippe cries, "Let nymphs, who nought can say,
+  Be lost in silence, and resign the day;
+  And let the guilty wife her guilt confess,
+  By tame behaviour, and a soft address;"
+  Through virtue, she refuses to comply
+  With all the dictates of humanity;
+  Through wisdom, she refuses to submit
+  To wisdom's rules, and raves to prove her wit;
+  Then, her unblemish'd honour to maintain,
+  Rejects her husband's kindness with disdain:
+  But if, by chance, an ill-adapted word
+  Drops from the lip of her unwary lord,
+  Her darling china, in a whirlwind sent,
+  Just intimates the lady's discontent.
+    Wine may indeed excite the meekest dame;
+  But keen Xantippe, scorning borrow'd flame,
+  Can vent her thunders, and her lightnings play,
+  O'er cooling gruel, and composing tea:
+  Nor rests by night, but, more sincere than nice,
+  She shakes the curtains with her kind advice:
+  Doubly, like echo, sound is her delight,
+  And the last word is her eternal right.
+  Is't not enough, plagues, wars, and famines rise
+  To lash our crimes, but must our wives be wise?
+    Famine, plague, war, and an unnumber'd throng
+  Of guilt-avenging ills, to man belong:
+  What black, what ceaseless cares besiege our state!
+  What strokes we feel from fancy, and from fate!
+  If fate forbears us, fancy strikes the blow;
+  We make misfortune; suicides in woe.
+  Superfluous aid! unnecessary skill!
+  Is nature backward to torment, or kill?
+  How oft the noon, how oft the midnight, bell,
+  (That iron tongue of death!) with solemn knell,
+  On folly's errands as we vainly roam,
+  Knocks at our hearts, and finds our thoughts from home!
+  Men drop so fast, ere life's mid stage we tread,
+  Few know so many friends alive, as dead.
+  Yet, as immortal, in our up-hill chase
+  We press coy fortune with unslacken'd pace;
+  Our ardent labours for the toys we seek,
+  Join night to day, and Sunday to the week:
+  Our very joys are anxious, and expire
+  Between satiety and fierce desire.
+  Now what reward for all this grief and toil?
+  But one; a female friend's endearing smile;
+  A tender smile, our sorrows' only balm,
+  And, in life's tempest, the sad sailor's calm.
+    How have I seen a gentle nymph draw nigh,
+  Peace in her air, persuasion in her eye;
+  Victorious tenderness! it all o'ercame,
+  Husbands look'd mild, and savages grew tame.
+    The Sylvan race our active nymphs pursue;
+  Man is not all the game they have in view:
+  In woods and fields their glory they complete;
+  Their Master Betty leaps a five-barr'd gate;
+  While fair Miss Charles to toilets is confin'd,
+  Nor rashly tempts the barb'rous sun and wind.
+  Some nymphs affect a more heroic breed,
+  And volt from hunters to the manag'd steed;
+  Command his prancings with a martial air,
+  And Fobert has the forming of the fair.
+    More than one steed must Delia's empire feel,
+  Who sits triumphant o'er the flying wheel;
+  And as she guides it thro' th' admiring throng,
+  With what an air she smacks the silken thong!
+  Graceful as John, she moderates the reins,
+  And whistles sweet her diuretic strains;
+  Sesostris like, such charioteers as these
+  May drive six harness'd monarchs, if they please:
+  They drive, row, run, with love of glory smit,
+  Leap, swim, shoot flying, and pronounce on wit.
+    O'er the belle-lettre lovely Daphne reigns;
+  Again the god Apollo wears her chains:
+  With legs toss'd high, on her sophee she sits
+  Vouchsafing audience to contending wits:
+  Of each performance she's the final test;
+  One act read o'er, she prophesies the rest;
+  And then, pronouncing with decisive air,
+  Fully convinces all the town--she's fair.
+  Had lovely Daphne Hecatessa's face,
+  How would her elegance of taste decrease!
+  Some ladies' judgment in their features lies,
+  And all their genius sparkles from their eyes.
+    "But hold," she cries, "lampooner! have a care;
+  Must I want common sense, because I'm fair?"
+  O no: see Stella; her eyes shine as bright
+  As if her tongue was never in the right;
+  And yet what real learning, judgment, fire!
+  She seems inspir'd, and can herself inspire:
+  How then (if malice rul'd not all the fair)
+  Could Daphne publish, and could she forbear?
+  We grant that beauty is no bar to sense,
+  Nor is't a sanction for impertinence.
+    Sempronia lik'd her man; and well she might;
+  The youth in person, and in parts, was bright;
+  Possess'd of every virtue, grace, and art,
+  That claims just empire o'er the female heart:
+  He met her passion, all her sighs return'd,
+  And, in full rage of youthful ardour, burn'd:
+  Large his possessions, and beyond her own:
+  Their bliss the theme, and envy of the town:
+  The day was fix'd, when, with one acre more,
+  In stepp'd deform'd, debauch'd, diseas'd threescore.
+  The fatal sequel I, through shame, forbear:
+  Of pride, and av'rice, who can cure the fair?
+    Man's rich with little, were his judgment true;
+  Nature is frugal, and her wants are few;
+  Those few wants answer'd, bring sincere delights;
+  But fools create themselves new appetites:
+  Fancy, and pride, seek things at vast expense,
+  Which relish not to reason, nor to sense.
+  When surfeit, or unthankfulness, destroys,
+  In nature's narrow sphere, our solid joys,
+  In fancy's airy land of noise and show,
+  Where nought but dreams, no real pleasures, grow;
+  Like cats in air-pumps, to subsist we strive
+  On joys too thin to keep the soul alive.
+  Lemira's sick; make haste; the doctor call:
+  He comes; but where's his patient? At the ball.
+  The doctor stares; her woman curtsies low,
+  And cries, "My lady, Sir, is always so:
+  Diversions put her maladies to flight:
+  True, she can't stand, but she can dance all night:
+  I've known my lady (for she loves a tune)
+  For fevers take an opera in June:
+  And, tho' perhaps you'll think the practice bold,
+  A midnight park is sov'reign for a cold:
+  With cholics, breakfasts of green fruit agree;
+  With indigestions, supper just at three."
+  A strange alternative, replies Sir Hans,
+  Must women have a doctor, or a dance?
+  Though sick to death, abroad they safely roam,
+  But droop and die, in perfect health, at home:
+  For want--but not of health, are ladies ill;
+  And tickets cure beyond the doctor's pill.
+    Alas, my heart! how languishingly fair
+  Yon lady lolls! with what a tender air!
+  Pale as a young dramatic author, when,
+  O'er darling lines, fell Cibber waves his pen.
+  Is her lord angry, or has(14) Veny chid?
+  Dead is her father, or the mask forbid?
+  "Late sitting up has turn'd her roses white."
+  Why went she not to bed? "Because 'twas night."
+  Did she then dance, or play? "Nor this, nor that."
+  Well, night soon steals away in pleasing chat.
+  "No, all alone, her prayers she rather chose,
+  Than be that wretch to sleep till morning rose."
+  Then lady Cynthia, mistress of the shade,
+  Goes, with the fashionable owls, to bed:
+  This her pride covets, this her health denies;
+  Her soul is silly, but her body's wise.
+    Others, with curious arts, dim charms revive,
+  And triumph in the bloom of fifty-five.
+  You, in the morning, a fair nymph invite;
+  To keep her word, a brown one comes at night:
+  Next day she shines in glossy black; and then
+  Revolves into her native red again:
+  Like a dove's neck, she shifts her transient charms,
+  And is her own dear rival in your arms.
+    But one admirer has the painted lass;
+  Nor finds that one, but in her looking-glass:
+  Yet Laura's beautiful to such excess,
+  That all her art scarce makes her please us less.
+  To deck the female cheek, he only knows,
+  Who paints less fair the lily, and the rose.
+    How gay they smile! Such blessings nature pours,
+  O'erstock'd mankind enjoy but half her stores:
+  In distant wilds, by human eyes unseen,
+  She rears her flowers, and spreads her velvet green:
+  Pure gurgling rills the lonely desert trace,
+  And waste their music on the savage race.
+  Is nature then a niggard of her bliss?
+  Repine we guiltless in a world like this?
+  But our lewd tastes her lawful charms refuse,
+  And painted art's depraved allurements choose.
+  Such Fulvia's passion for the town; fresh air
+  (An odd effect!) gives vapours to the fair;
+  Green fields, and shady groves, and crystal springs,
+  And larks, and nightingales, are odious things;
+  But smoke, and dust, and noise, and crowds, delight;
+  And to be press'd to death, transports her quite:
+  Where silver riv'lets play through flow'ry meads,
+  And woodbines give their sweets, and limes their shades,
+  Black kennels' absent odours she regrets,
+  And stops her nose at beds of violets.
+    Is stormy life preferr'd to the serene?
+  Or is the public to the private scene?
+  Retir'd, we tread a smooth and open way;
+  Through briers and brambles in the world we stray;
+  Stiff opposition, and perplex'd debate,
+  And thorny care, and rank and stinging hate,
+  Which choke our passage, our career control,
+  And wound the firmest temper of our soul.
+  O sacred solitude! divine retreat!
+  Choice of the prudent! envy of the great!
+  By thy pure stream, or in thy waving shade,
+  We court fair wisdom, that celestial maid:
+  The genuine offspring of her lov'd embrace,
+  (Strangers on earth!) are innocence and peace:
+  There, from the ways of men laid safe ashore,
+  We smile to hear the distant tempest roar;
+  There, bless'd with health, with business unperplex'd,
+  This life we relish, and ensure the next;
+  There too the muses sport; these numbers free,
+  Pierian Eastbury! I owe to thee.
+  There sport the muses; but not there alone:
+  Their sacred force Amelia feels in town.
+  Nought but a genius can a genius fit;
+  A wit herself, Amelia weds a wit:
+  Both wits! though miracles are said to cease,
+  Three days, three wondrous days! they liv'd in peace;
+  With the fourth sun a warm dispute arose,
+  On Durfey's poesy, and Bunyan's prose:
+  The learned war both wage with equal force,
+  And the fifth morn concluded the divorce.
+    Phoebe, though she possesses nothing less,
+  Is proud of being rich in happiness:
+  Laboriously pursues delusive toys,
+  Content with pains, since they're reputed joys.
+  With what well-acted transport will she say,
+  "Well, sure, we were so happy yesterday!
+  And then that charming party for to-morrow!"
+  Though, well she knows, 'twill languish into sorrow:
+  But she dares never boast the present hour;
+  So gross that cheat, it is beyond her power:
+  For such is or our weakness, or our curse,
+  Or rather such our crime, which still is worse,
+  The present moment, like a wife, we shun,
+  And ne'er enjoy, because it is our own.
+    Pleasures are few, and fewer we enjoy;
+  Pleasure, like quicksilver, is bright, and coy;
+  We strive to grasp it with our utmost skill,
+  Still it eludes us, and it glitters still:
+  If seiz'd at last, compute your mighty gains;
+  What is it, but rank poison in your veins?
+    As Flavia in her glass an angel spies,
+  Pride whispers in her ear pernicious lies;
+  Tells her, while she surveys a face so fine,
+  There's no satiety of charms divine:
+  Hence, if her lover yawns, all chang'd appears
+  Her temper, and she melts (sweet soul!) in tears:
+  She, fond and young, last week, her wish enjoy'd,
+  In soft amusement all the night employ'd;
+  The morning came, when Strephon, waking, found
+  (Surprising sight!) his bride in sorrow drown'd.
+  "What miracle," says Strephon, "makes thee weep?"
+  "Ah, barb'rous man!" she cries, "how could you----sleep?"
+    Men love a mistress, as they love a feast;
+  How grateful one to touch, and one to taste!
+  Yet sure there is a certain time of day,
+  We wish our mistress, and our meat, away:
+  But soon the sated appetites return,
+  Again our stomachs crave, our bosoms burn:
+  Eternal love let man, then, never swear;
+  Let women never triumph, nor despair;
+  Nor praise, nor blame, too much, the warm, or chill;
+  Hunger and love are foreign to the will.
+    There is indeed a passion more refin'd,
+  For those few nymphs whose charms are of the mind:
+  But not of that unfashionable set
+  Is Phyllis; Phyllis and her Damon met.
+  Eternal love exactly hits her taste;
+  Phyllis demands eternal love at least.
+  Embracing Phyllis with soft smiling eyes,
+  Eternal love I vow, the swain replies:
+  But say, my all, my mistress, and my friend!
+  What day next week th' eternity shall end?
+    Some nymphs prefer astronomy to love:
+  Elope from mortal man, and range above.
+  The fair philosopher to Rowley flies,
+  Where, in a box, the whole creation lies:
+  She sees the planets in their turns advance,
+  And scorns, Poitier, thy sublunary dance;
+  Of Desagulier she bespeaks fresh air;
+  And Whiston has engagements with the fair.
+  What vain experiments Sophronia tries!
+  'Tis not in air-pumps the gay colonel dies.
+  But though to-day this rage of science reigns,
+  (O fickle sex!) soon end her learned pains.
+  Lo! Pug from Jupiter her heart has got,
+  Turns out the stars, and Newton is a sot.
+    To----turn; she never took the height
+  Of Saturn, yet is ever in the right.
+  She strikes each point with native force of mind,
+  While puzzled learning blunders far behind,
+  Graceful to sight, and elegant to thought,
+  The great are vanquish'd, and the wise are taught.
+  Her breeding finish'd, and her temper sweet,
+  When serious, easy; and when gay, discreet;
+  In glittering scenes, o'er her own heart, sincere;
+  In crowds, collected; and in courts, severe;
+  Sincere, and warm, with zeal well understood,
+  She takes a noble pride in doing good;
+  Yet not superior to her sex's cares,
+  The mode she fixes by the gown she wears;
+  Of silks and china she's the last appeal;
+  In these great points she leads the commonweal;
+  And if disputes of empire rise between
+  Mechlin the queen of lace, and colberteen,
+  'Tis doubt! 'tis darkness! till suspended fate
+  Assumes her nod, to close the grand debate.
+  When such her mind, why will the fair express
+  Their emulation only in their dress?
+    But, oh! the nymph that mounts above the skies,
+  And, gratis, clears religious mysteries,
+  Resolv'd the church's welfare to ensure,
+  And make her family a sine-cure:
+  The theme divine at cards she'll not forget,
+  But takes in texts of Scripture at picquet;
+  In those licentious meetings acts the prude,
+  And thanks her Maker that her cards are good.
+  What angels would those be, who thus excel
+  In theologies, could they sew as well!
+  Yet why should not the fair her text pursue?
+  Can she more decently the doctor woo?
+  'Tis hard, too, she who makes no use but chat
+  Of her religion, should be barr'd in that.
+    Isaac, a brother of the canting strain,
+  When he has knock'd at his own skull in vain,
+  To beauteous Marcia often will repair
+  With a dark text, to light it at the fair.
+  O how his pious soul exults to find
+  Such love for holy men in woman-kind!
+  Charm'd with her learning, with what rapture he
+  Hangs on her bloom, like an industrious bee!
+  Hums round about her, and with all his power
+  Extracts sweet wisdom from so fair a flower!
+    The young and gay declining, Appia flies
+  At nobler game, the mighty and the wise:
+  By nature more an eagle than a dove,
+  She impiously prefers the world to love.
+    Can wealth give happiness? look round, and see
+  What gay distress! what splendid misery!
+  Whatever fortune lavishly can pour,
+  The mind annihilates, and calls for more!
+  Wealth is a cheat; believe not what it says;
+  Like any lord it promises--and pays.
+  How will the miser startle, to be told
+  Of such a wonder, as insolvent gold!
+  What nature wants has an intrinsic weight;
+  All more, is but the fashion of the plate,
+  Which, for one moment, charms the fickle view;
+  It charms us now; anon we cast anew;
+  To some fresh birth of fancy more inclin'd:
+  Then wed not acres, but a noble mind.
+    Mistaken lovers, who make worth their care,
+  And think accomplishments will win the fair:
+  The fair, 'tis true, by genius should be won,
+  As flow'rs unfold their beauties to the sun;
+  And yet in female scales a fop outweighs,
+  And wit must wear the willow and the bays.
+  Nought shines so bright in vain Liberia's eye
+  As riot, impudence, and perfidy;
+  The youth of fire, that has drunk deep, and play'd,
+  And kill'd his man, and triumph'd o'er his maid;
+  For him, as yet unhang'd, she spreads her charms,
+  Snatches the dear destroyer to her arms;
+  And amply gives (though treated long amiss)
+  The man of merit his revenge in this,
+  If you resent, and wish a woman ill,
+  But turn her o'er one moment to her will.
+    The languid lady next appears in state,
+  Who was not born to carry her own weight;
+  She lolls, reels, staggers, till some foreign aid
+  To her own stature lifts the feeble maid.
+  Then, if ordain'd to so severe a doom,
+  She, by just stages, journeys round the room:
+  But, knowing her own weakness, she despairs
+  To scale the Alps--that is, ascend the stairs.
+  My fan! let others say, who laugh at toil;
+  Fan! hood! glove! scarf! is her laconic style;
+  And that is spoke with such a dying fall,
+  That Betty rather sees, than hears the call:
+  The motion of her lips, and meaning eye,
+  Piece out th' idea her faint words deny.
+  O listen with attention most profound!
+  Her voice is but the shadow of a sound.
+  And help! oh help! her spirits are so dead,
+  One hand scarce lifts the other to her head.
+  If, there, a stubborn pin it triumphs o'er,
+  She pants! she sinks away! and is more.
+  Let the robust and the gigantic carve,
+  Life is not worth so much, she'd rather starve;
+  But chew she must herself; ah cruel fate!
+  That Rosalinda can't by proxy eat.
+    An antidote in female caprice lies
+  (Kind heaven!) against the poison of their eyes.
+    Thalestris triumphs in a manly mien;
+  Loud is her accent, and her phrase obscene.
+  In fair and open dealing where's the shame?
+  What nature dares to give, she dares to name.
+  This honest fellow is sincere and plain,
+  And justly gives the jealous husband pain.
+  (Vain is the task to petticoats assign'd,
+  If wanton language shows a naked mind.)
+  And now and then, to grace her eloquence,
+  An oath supplies the vacancies of sense.
+  Hark! the shrill notes transpierce the yielding air,
+  And teach the neighb'ring echoes how to swear.
+  By Jove, is faint, and for the simple swain;
+  She, on the Christian system, is profane.
+  But though the volley rattles in your ear,
+  Believe her dress, she's not a grenadier.
+  If thunder's awful, how much more our dread,
+  When Jove deputes a lady in his stead?
+  A lady! pardon my mistaken pen,
+  A shameless woman is the worst of men.
+    Few to good breeding make a just pretence;
+  Good breeding is the blossom of good sense;
+  The last result of an accomplish'd mind,
+  With outward grace, the body's virtue, join'd.
+  A violated decency now reigns;
+  And nymphs for failings take peculiar pains.
+  With Chinese painters modern toasts agree,
+  The point they aim at is deformity:
+  They throw their persons with a hoyden air
+  Across the room, and toss into the chair.
+  So far their commerce with mankind is gone,
+  They, for our manners, have exchang'd their own.
+  The modest look, the castigated grace,
+  The gentle movement, and slow measur'd pace,
+  For which her lovers died, her parents pray'd,
+  Are indecorums with the modern maid.
+  Stiff forms are bad; but let not worse intrude,
+  Nor conquer art and nature, to be rude.
+  Modern good-breeding carry to its height,
+  And lady D----'s self will be polite.
+    Ye rising fair! ye bloom of Britain's isle!
+  When high-born Anna, with a soften'd smile,
+  Leads on your train, and sparkles at your head,
+  What seems most hard, is, not to be well bred.
+  Her bright example with success pursue,
+  And all, but adoration, is your due.
+    But adoration! give me something more,
+  Cries Lyce, on the borders of threescore:
+  Nought treads so silent as the foot of time;
+  Hence we mistake our autumn for our prime;
+  'Tis greatly wise to know, before we're told,
+  The melancholy news, that we grow old.
+  Autumnal Lyce carries in her face
+  Memento mori to each public place.
+  O how your beating breast a mistress warms,
+  Who looks through spectacles to see your charms!
+  While rival undertakers hover round,
+  And with his spade the sexton marks the ground,
+  Intent not on her own, but others' doom,
+  She plans new conquests, and defrauds the tomb.
+  In vain the cock has summon'd sprites away,
+  She walks at noon, and blasts the bloom of day.
+  Gay rainbow silks her mellow charms infold,
+  And nought of Lyce but herself is old.
+  Her grizzled locks assume a smirking grace,
+  And art has levell'd her deep-furrow'd face.
+  Her strange demand no mortal can approve,
+  We'll ask her blessing, but can't ask her love.
+  She grants, indeed, a lady may decline
+  (All ladies but herself) at ninety-nine.
+    O how unlike her is the sacred age
+  Of prudent Portia! her gray hairs engage;
+  Whose thoughts are suited to her life's decline:
+  Virtue's the paint that can with wrinkles shine.
+  That, and that only, can old age sustain;
+  Which yet all wish, nor know they wish for pain.
+  Not num'rous are our joys, when life is new;
+  And yearly some are falling of the few;
+  But when we conquer life's meridian stage,
+  And downward tend into the vale of age,
+  They drop apace; by nature some decay,
+  And some the blasts of fortune sweep away;
+  Till naked quite of happiness, aloud
+  We call for death, and shelter in a shroud.
+    Where's Portia now?--But Portia left behind
+  Two lovely copies of her form and mind.
+  What heart untouch'd their early grief can view,
+  Like blushing rose-buds dipp'd in morning dew?
+  Who into shelter takes their tender bloom,
+  And forms their minds to flee from ills to come?
+  The mind, when turn'd adrift, no rules to guide,
+  Drives at the mercy of the wind and tide;
+  Fancy and passion toss it to and fro;
+  Awhile torment, and then quite sink in woe.
+  Ye beauteous orphans, since in silent dust
+  Your best example lies, my precepts trust.
+  Life swarms with ills; the boldest are afraid;
+  Where then is safety for a tender maid?
+  Unfit for conflict, round beset with woes,
+  And man, whom least she fears, her worst of foes!
+  When kind, most cruel; when oblig'd the most,
+  The least obliging; and by favours lost.
+  Cruel by nature, they for kindness hate;
+  And scorn you for those ills themselves create.
+  If on your fame your sex a blot has thrown,
+  'Twill ever stick, through malice of your own.
+  Most hard! in pleasing your chief glory lies;
+  And yet from pleasing your chief dangers rise:
+  Then please the best; and know, for men of sense,
+  Your strongest charms are native innocence.
+  Art on the mind, like paint upon the face,
+  Fright him, that's worth your love, from your embrace.
+  In simple manners all the secret lies;
+  Be kind and virtuous, you'll be blest and wise.
+  Vain show and noise intoxicate the brain,
+  Begin with giddiness, and end in pain.
+  Affect not empty fame, and idle praise,
+  Which, all those wretches I describe, betrays.
+  Your sex's glory 'tis, to shine unknown;
+  Of all applause, be fondest of your own.
+  Beware the fever of the mind! that thirst
+  With which the age is eminently curst:
+  To drink of pleasure, but inflames desire;
+  And abstinence alone can quench the fire;
+  Take pain from life, and terror from the tomb;
+  Give peace in hand; and promise bliss to come.
+

+
+                                Satire VI.
+
+
+                                On Women.
+
+
+      Inscribed to the Right Honourable the Lady Elizabeth Germain.
+
+
+      Interdum tamen et tollit comoedia vocem.
+
+                                                                 --HOR.
+
+
+  I sought a patroness, but sought in vain.
+  Apollo whisper'd in my ear--"Germain."--
+  I know her not.--"Your reason's somewhat odd;
+  Who knows his patron, now?" replied the god.
+  "Men write, to me, and to the world, unknown;
+  Then steal great names, to shield them from the town.
+  Detected worth, like beauty disarray'd,
+  To covert flies, of praise itself afraid:
+  Should she refuse to patronize your lays,
+  In vengeance write a volume in her praise.
+  Nor think it hard so great a length to run;
+  When such the theme, 'twill easily be done."
+    Ye fair! to draw your excellence at length,
+  Exceeds the narrow bounds of human strength;
+  You, here, in miniature your picture see;
+  Nor hope from Zincks more justice than from me.
+  My portraits grace your mind, as his your side;
+  His portraits will inflame, mine quench, your pride.
+  He's dear, you frugal; choose my cheaper lay;
+  And be your reformation all my pay.
+    Lavinia is polite, but not profane;
+  To church as constant as to Drury Lane.
+  She decently, in form, pays heaven its due;
+  And makes a civil visit to her pew.
+  Her lifted fan, to give a solemn air,
+  Conceals her face, which passes for a prayer:
+  Curtsies to curtsies, then, with grace, succeed;
+  Not one the fair omits, but at the creed.
+  Or if she joins the service, 'tis to speak;
+  Thro' dreadful silence the pent heart might break;
+  Untaught to bear it, women talk away
+  To God himself, and fondly think they pray.
+  But sweet their accent, and their air refin'd;
+  For they're before their Maker--and mankind:
+  When ladies once are proud of praying well,
+  Satan himself will toll the parish bell.
+    Acquainted with the world, and quite well bred,
+  Drusa receives her visitants in bed;
+  But, chaste as ice, this Vesta, to defy
+  The very blackest tongue of calumny,
+  When from the sheets her lovely form she lifts,
+  She begs you just would turn you, while she shifts.
+    Those charms are greatest which decline the sight,
+  That makes the banquet poignant and polite.
+  There is no woman, where there's no reserve;
+  And 'tis on plenty your poor lovers starve.
+  But with a modern fair, meridian merit
+  Is a fierce thing, they call a nymph of spirit.
+  Mark well the rollings of her flaming eye;
+  And tread on tiptoe, if you dare draw nigh.
+  "Or if you take a lion by the beard,(15)
+  Or dare defy the fell Hyrcanian pard,
+  Or arm'd rhinoceros, or rough Russian bear,"
+  First make your will, and then converse with her.
+  This lady glories in profuse expense;
+  And thinks distraction is magnificence.
+  To beggar her gallant, is some delight;
+  To be more fatal still, is exquisite;
+  Had ever nymph such reason to be glad?
+  In duel fell two lovers; one run mad.
+  Her foes their honest execrations pour;
+  Her lovers only should detest her more.
+    Flavia is constant to her old gallant,
+  And generously supports him in his want;
+  But marriage is a fetter, is a snare,
+  A hell, no lady so polite can bear.
+  She's faithful, she's observant, and with pains
+  Her angel brood of bastards she maintains.
+  Nor least advantage has the fair to plead,
+  But that of guilt, above the marriage-bed.
+    Amasia hates a prude, and scorns restraint;
+  Whate'er she is, she'll not appear a saint:
+  Her soul superior flies formality;
+  So gay her air, her conduct is so free,
+  Some might suspect the nymph not over good--
+  Nor would they be mistaken, if they should.
+    Unmarried Abra puts on formal airs;
+  Her cushion's threadbare with her constant prayers.
+  Her only grief is, that she cannot be
+  At once engag'd in prayer and charity.
+  And this, to do her justice, must be said,
+  "Who would not think that Abra was a maid?"
+    Some ladies are too beauteous to be wed;
+  For where's the man that's worthy of their bed?
+  If no disease reduce her pride before,
+  Lavinia will be ravish'd at threescore.
+  Then she submits to venture in the dark;
+  And nothing now is wanting--but her spark.
+    Lucia thinks happiness consists in state;
+  She weds an idiot, but she eats in plate.
+  The goods of fortune, which her soul possess,
+  Are but the ground of unmade happiness;
+  The rude material: wisdom add to this,
+  Wisdom, the sole artificer of bliss;
+  She from herself, if so compell'd by need,
+  Of thin content can draw the subtle thread;
+  But (no detraction to her sacred skill)
+  If she can work in gold, 'tis better still.
+    If Tullia had been blest with half her sense,
+  None could too much admire her excellence:
+  But since she can make error shine so bright,
+  She thinks it vulgar to defend the right.
+  With understanding she is quite o'errun;
+  And by too great accomplishments undone:
+  With skill she vibrates her eternal tongue,
+  For ever most divinely in the wrong.
+    Naked in nothing should a woman be;
+  But veil her very wit with modesty:
+  Let man discover, let not her display,
+  But yield her charms of mind with sweet delay.
+    For pleasure form'd, perversely some believe,
+  To make themselves important, men must grieve.
+  Lesbia the fair, to fire her jealous lord,
+  Pretends, the fop she laughs at, is ador'd.
+  In vain she's proud of secret innocence;
+  The fact she fains were scarce a worse offence.
+    Mira, endow'd with every charm to bless,
+  Has no design, but on her husband's peace:
+  He lov'd her much; and greatly was he mov'd
+  At small inquietudes in her he lov'd.
+  "How charming this!"--The pleasure lasted long;
+  Now every day the fits come thick and strong:
+  At last he found the charmer only feign'd;
+  And was diverted when he should be pain'd.
+  What greater vengeance had the gods in store?
+  How tedious life, now she can plague no more!
+  She tries a thousand arts; but none succeed:
+  She's forc'd a fever to procure indeed:
+  Thus strictly prov'd this virtuous, loving wife,
+  Her husband's pain was dearer than her life.
+    Anxious Melania rises to my view,
+  Who never thinks her lover pays his due:
+  Visit, present, treat, flatter, and adore;
+  Her majesty, to-morrow, calls for more.
+  His wounded ears complaints eternal fill,
+  As unoil'd hinges, querulously shrill.
+  "You went last night with Celia to the ball."
+  You prove it false. "Not go! that's worst of all."
+  Nothing can please her, nothing not inflame;
+  And arrant contradictions are the same.
+  Her lover must be sad, to please her spleen;
+  His mirth is an inexpiable sin:
+  For of all rivals that can pain her breast,
+  There's one, that wounds far deeper than the rest;
+  To wreck her quiet, the most dreadful shelf
+  Is if her lover dares enjoy himself.
+    And this, because she's exquisitely fair:
+  Should I dispute her beauty, how she'd stare!
+  How would Melania be surpris'd to hear
+  She's quite deform'd! And yet the case is clear;
+  What's female beauty, but an air divine,
+  Thro' which the mind's all gentle graces shine?
+  They, like the sun, irradiate all between;
+  The body charms because the soul is seen.
+  Hence, men are often captives of a face,
+  They know not why, of no peculiar grace:
+  Some forms, tho' bright, no mortal man can bear;
+  Some, none resist, tho' not exceeding fair.
+    Aspasia's highly born, and nicely bred,
+  Of taste refin'd, in life and manners read;
+  Yet reaps no fruit from her superior sense,
+  But to be teaz'd by her own excellence.
+  "Folks are so awkward! things so unpolite!"
+  She's elegantly pain'd from morn till night.
+  Her delicacy's shock'd where'er she goes;
+  Each creature's imperfections are her woes.
+  Heaven by its favour has the fair distrest,
+  And pour'd such blessings--that she can't be blest.
+    Ah! why so vain, though blooming in thy spring,
+  Thou shining, frail, ador'd, and wretched thing?
+  Old age will come; disease may come before;
+  Fifteen is full as mortal as threescore.
+  Thy fortune, and thy charms, may soon decay:
+  But grant these fugitives prolong their stay,
+  Their basis totters, their foundation shakes;
+  Life, that supports them, in a moment breaks;
+  Then wrought into the soul let virtues shine;
+  The ground eternal, as the work divine.
+    Julia's a manager; she's born for rule;
+  And knows her wiser husband is a fool;
+  Assemblies holds, and spins the subtle thread
+  That guides the lover to his fair one's bed:
+  For difficult amours can smooth the way,
+  And tender letters dictate, or convey.
+  But if depriv'd of such important cares,
+  Her wisdom condescends to less affairs.
+  For her own breakfast she'll project a scheme,
+  Nor take her tea without a stratagem;
+  Presides o'er trifles with a serious face;
+  Important by the virtue of grimace.
+    Ladies supreme among amusements reign;
+  By nature born to soothe, and entertain.
+  Their prudence in a share of folly lies:
+  Why will they be so weak, as to be wise?
+    Syrena is for ever in extremes,
+  And with a vengeance she commends, or blames.
+  Conscious of her discernment, which is good,
+  She strains too much to make it understood.
+  Her judgment just, her sentence is too strong;
+  Because she's right, she's ever in the wrong.
+    Brunetta's wise in actions great, and rare;
+  But scorns on trifles to bestow her care.
+  Thus ev'ry hour Brunetta is to blame,
+  Because th' occasion is beneath her aim,
+  Think nought a trifle, though it small appear;
+  Small sands the mountain, moments make the year,
+  And trifles life. Your care to trifles give,
+  Or you may die, before you truly live.
+    Go breakfast with Alicia, there you'll see,
+  Simplex munditiis, to the last degree:
+  Unlac'd her stays, her night-gown is untied,
+  And what she has of head-dress is aside.
+  She drawls her words, and waddles in her pace;
+  Unwash'd her hands, and much besnuff'd her face.
+  A nail uncut, and head uncomb'd, she loves;
+  And would draw on jack-boots, as soon as gloves.
+  Gloves by Queen Bess's maidens might be miss'd;
+  Her blessed eyes ne'er saw a female fist.
+  Lovers, beware! to wound how can she fail
+  With scarlet finger, and long jetty nail?
+  For Harvey the first wit she cannot be,
+  Nor, cruel Richmond, the first toast for thee.
+  Since full each other station of renown,
+  Who would not be the greatest trapes in town?
+  Women were made to give our eyes delight;
+  A female sloven is an odious sight.
+    Fair Isabella is so fond of fame,
+  That her dear self is her eternal theme;
+  Through hopes of contradiction, oft she'll say,
+  "Methinks I look so wretchedly to-day!"
+  When most the world applauds you, most beware;
+  'Tis often less a blessing than a snare.
+  Distrust mankind; with your own heart confer;
+  And dread even there to find a flatterer.
+  The breath of others raises our renown;
+  Our own as surely blows the pageant down.
+  Take up no more than you by worth can claim,
+  Lest soon you prove a bankrupt in your fame.
+    But own I must, in this perverted age,
+  Who most deserve, can't always most engage.
+  So far is worth from making glory sure,
+  It often hinders what it should procure.
+  Whom praise we most? The virtuous, brave, and wise?
+  No; wretches, whom, in secret, we despise.
+  And who so blind, as not to see the cause?
+  No rivals rais'd by such discreet applause;
+  And yet, of credit it lays in a store,
+  By which our spleen may wound true worth the more.
+    Ladies there are who think one crime is all:
+  Can women, then, no way but backward fall?
+  So sweet is that one crime they don't pursue,
+  To pay its loss, they think all others few.
+  Who hold that crime so dear, must never claim
+  Of injur'd modesty the sacred name.
+    But Clio thus: "What! railing without end?
+  Mean task! how much more gen'rous to commend!"
+  Yes, to commend as you are wont to do,
+  My kind instructor, and example too.
+  "Daphnis," says Clio, "has a charming eye:
+  What pity 'tis her shoulder is awry!
+  Aspasia's shape indeed--but then her air--
+  The man has parts who finds destruction there.
+  Almeria's wit has something that's divine;
+  And wit's enough--how few in all things shine!
+  Selina serves her friends, relieves the poor--
+  Who was it said Selina's near threescore?
+  At Lucia's match I from my soul rejoice;
+  The world congratulates so wise a choice;
+  His lordship's rent-roll is exceeding great--
+  But mortgages will sap the best estate.
+  In Sherley's form might cherubims appear;
+  But then--she has a freckle on her ear."
+  Without a but, Hortensia she commends,
+  The first of women, and the best of friends;
+  Owns her in person, wit, fame, virtue, bright:
+  But how comes this to pass?--She died last night.
+    Thus nymphs commend, who yet at satire rail:
+  Indeed that's needless, if such praise prevail.
+  And whence such praise? Our virulence is thrown
+  On others' fame, thro' fondness for our own.
+    Of rank and riches proud, Cleora frowns;
+  For are not coronets akin to crowns?
+  Her greedy eye, and her sublime address,
+  The height of avarice and pride confess.
+  You seek perfections worthy of her rank;
+  Go, seek for her perfections at the bank.
+  By wealth unquench'd, by reason uncontrol'd,
+  For ever burns her sacred thirst of gold.
+  As fond of five-pence, as the veriest cit;
+  And quite as much detested as a wit.
+    Can gold calm passion, or make reason shine?
+  Can we dig peace, or wisdom, from the mine?
+  Wisdom to gold prefer; for 'tis much less
+  To make our fortune, than our happiness.
+  That happiness which great ones often see,
+  With rage and wonder, in a low degree;
+  Themselves unblest. The poor are only poor;
+  But what are they who droop amid their store?
+  Nothing is meaner than a wretch of state;
+  The happy only are the truly great.
+  Peasants enjoy like appetites with kings;
+  And those best satisfied with cheapest things.
+  Could both our Indies buy but one new sense,
+  Our envy would be due to large expense.
+  Since not, those pomps which to the great belong,
+  Are but poor arts to mark them from the throng.
+  See how they beg an alms of flattery!
+  They languish! oh support them with a lie!
+  A decent competence we fully taste;
+  It strikes our sense, and gives a constant feast:
+  More, we perceive by dint of thought alone;
+  The rich must labor to possess their own,
+  To feel their great abundance; and request
+  Their humble friends to help them to be blest;
+  To see their treasures, hear their glory told,
+  And aid the wretched impotence of gold.
+    But some, great souls! and touch'd with warmth divine,
+  Give gold a price, and teach its beams to shine.
+  All hoarded treasures they repute a load;
+  Nor think their wealth their own, till well bestow'd.
+  Grand reservoirs of public happiness,
+  Through secret streams diffusively they bless;
+  And, while their bounties glide conceal'd from view,
+  Relieve our wants, and spare our blushes too.
+  But satire is my task; and these destroy
+  Her gloomy province, and malignant joy.
+  Help me, ye misers! help me to complain,
+  And blast our common enemy, Germain:
+  But our invectives must despair success;
+  For next to praise, she values nothing less.
+    What picture's yonder, loosen'd from its frame?
+  Or is't Asturia? that affected dame.
+  The brightest forms, through affectation, fade
+  To strange new things, which nature never made.
+  Frown not, ye fair! so much your sex we prize,
+  We hate those arts that take you from our eyes.
+  In Albucinda's native grace is seen
+  What you, who labour at perfection, mean.
+  Short is the rule, and to be learnt with ease,
+  Retain your gentle selves, and you must please.
+  Here might I sing of Memmia's mincing mien,
+  And all the movements of the soft machine:
+  How two red lips affected zephyrs blow,
+  To cool the Bohea, and inflame the beau:
+  While one white finger, and a thumb, conspire
+  To lift the cup, and make the world admire.
+    Tea! how I tremble at thy fatal stream!
+  As Lethe, dreadful to the love of fame.
+  What devastations on thy banks are seen!
+  What shades of mighty names which once have been!
+  An hecatomb of characters supplies
+  Thy painted altars' daily sacrifice.
+  H----, P----, B----, aspers'd by thee, decay,
+  As grains of finest sugars melt away,
+  And recommend thee more to mortal taste:
+  Scandal's the sweet'ner of a female feast.
+    But this inhuman triumph shall decline,
+  And thy revolting naiads call for wine;
+  Spirits no longer shall serve under thee;
+  But reign in thy own cup, exploded tea!
+  Citronia's nose declares thy ruin nigh,
+  And who dares give Citronia's nose the lie?(16)
+    The ladies long at men of drink exclaim'd,
+  And what impair'd both health and virtue, blam'd;
+  At length, to rescue man, the generous lass
+  Stole from her consort the pernicious glass;
+  As glorious as the British queen renown'd,
+  Who suck'd the poison from her husband's wound.
+    Nor to the glass alone are nymphs inclin'd,
+  But every bolder vice of bold mankind.
+    O Juvenal! for thy severer rage!
+  To lash the ranker follies of our age.
+    Are there, among the females of our isle,
+  Such faults, at which it is a fault to smile?
+  There are. Vice, once by modest nature chain'd
+  And legal ties, expatiates unrestrain'd;
+  Without thin decency held up to view,
+  Naked she stalks o'er law and gospel too.
+  Our matrons lead such exemplary lives,
+  Men sigh in vain for none, but for their wives;
+  Who marry to be free, to range the more,
+  And wed one man to wanton with a score.
+  Abroad too kind, at home 'tis steadfast hate,
+  And one eternal tempest of debate.
+  What foul eruptions, from a look most meek!
+  What thunders bursting, from a dimpled cheek!
+  Their passions bear it with a lofty hand!
+  But then, their reason is at due command.
+  Is there whom you detest, and seek his life?
+  Trust no soul with the secret--but his wife.
+  Wives wonder that their conduct I condemn,
+  And ask, what kindred is a spouse to them?
+    What swarms of am'rous grandmothers I see!
+  And misses, ancient in iniquity?
+  What blasting whispers, and what loud declaiming!
+  What lying, drinking, bawding, swearing, gaming!
+  Friendship so cold, such warm incontinence;
+  Such griping av'rice, such profuse expense;
+  Such dead devotion, such a zeal for crimes;
+  Such licens'd ill, such masquerading times;
+  Such venal faith, such misapplied applause;
+  Such flatter'd guilt, and such inverted laws;
+  Such dissolution through the whole I find,
+  'Tis not a world, but chaos of mankind.
+    Since Sundays have no balls, the well-dress'd belle
+  Shines in the pew, but smiles to hear of hell;
+  And casts an eye of sweet disdain on all,
+  Who listens less to Collins than St. Paul.
+  Atheists have been but rare; since nature's birth,
+  Till now, she-atheists ne'er appear'd on earth.
+  Ye men of deep researches, say, whence springs
+  This daring character, in timorous things?
+  Who start at feathers, from an insect fly,
+  A match for nothing--but the Deity.
+    But, not to wrong the fair, the muse must own
+  In this pursuit they court not fame alone;
+  But join to that a more substantial view,
+  "From thinking free, to be free agents too."
+    They strive with their own hearts, and keep them down,
+  In complaisance to all the fools in town.
+  O how they tremble at the name of prude!
+  And die with shame at thought of being good!
+  For what will Artimis, the rich and gay,
+  What will the wits, that is, the coxcombs say?
+  They heaven defy, to earth's vile dregs a slave;
+  Thro' cowardice, most execrably brave.
+  With our own judgments durst we to comply,
+  In virtue should we live, in glory die.
+  Rise then, my muse, in honest fury rise;
+  They dread a satire, who defy the skies.
+    Atheists are few: most nymphs a Godhead own;
+  And nothing but his attributes dethrone.
+  From Atheists far, they steadfastly believe
+  God is, and is Almighty----to forgive.
+  His other excellence they'll not dispute;
+  But mercy, sure, is his chief attribute.
+  Shall pleasures of a short duration chain
+  A lady's soul in everlasting pain?
+  Will the great Author us poor worms destroy,
+  For now and then a sip of transient joy?
+  No, he's for ever in a smiling mood;
+  He's like themselves, or how could he be good?
+  And they blaspheme, who blacker schemes suppose.--
+  Devoutly, thus, Jehovah they depose,
+  The pure! the just! and set up, in his stead,
+  A deity, that's perfectly well bred.
+    "Dear Tillotson! be sure the best of men;
+  Nor thought he more, than thought great Origen,
+  Though once upon a time he misbehav'd;
+  Poor Satan! doubtless, he'll at length be sav'd.
+  Let priests do something for their one in ten;
+  It is their trade; so far they're honest men.
+  Let them cant on, since they have got the knack,
+  And dress their notions, like themselves, in black;
+  Fright us, with terrors of a world unknown,
+  From joys of this, to keep them all their own.
+  Of earth's fair fruits, indeed, they claim a fee;
+  But then they leave our untith'd virtue free.
+  Virtue's a pretty thing to make a show:
+  Did ever mortal write like Rochefocaut?"
+  Thus pleads the devil's fair apologist,
+  And, pleading, safely enters on his list.
+    Let angel-forms angelic truths maintain;
+  Nature disjoins the beauteous and profane.
+  For what's true beauty, but fair virtue's face?
+  Virtue made visible in outward grace?
+  She, then, that's haunted with an impious mind,
+  The more she charms, the more she shocks mankind.
+    But charms decline: the fair long vigils keep:
+  They sleep no more! (17)quadrille has murder'd sleep.
+  "Poor K--p! cries Livia; I have not been there
+  These two nights; the poor creature will despair.
+  I hate a crowd--but to do good, you know--
+  And people of condition should bestow."
+  Convinc'd, o'ercome, to K--p's grave matrons run;
+  Now set a daughter, and now stake a son;
+  Let health, fame, temper, beauty, fortune, fly;
+  And beggar half their race--thro' charity.
+    Immortal were we, or else mortal quite,
+  I less should blame this criminal delight:
+  But since the gay assembly's gayest room
+  Is but the upper story of some tomb,
+  Methinks, we need not our short beings shun,
+  And, thought to fly, contend to be undone.
+  We need not buy our ruin with our crime,
+  And give eternity to murder time.
+    The love of gaming is the worst of ills;
+  With ceaseless storms the blacken'd soul it fills;
+  Inveighs at heaven, neglects the ties of blood;
+  Destroys the power and will of doing good;
+  Kills health, pawns honour, plunges in disgrace,
+  And, what is still more dreadful--spoils your face.
+    See yonder set of thieves that live on spoil,
+  The scandal, and the ruin of our isle!
+  And see, (strange sight!) amid that ruffian band,
+  A form divine high wave her snowy hand;
+  That rattles loud a small enchanted box,
+  Which, loud as thunder, on the board she knocks.
+  And as fierce storms, which earth's foundation shook,
+  From �olus's cave impetuous broke,
+  From this small cavern a mix'd tempest flies,
+  Fear, rage, convulsion, tears, oaths, blasphemies!
+  For men, I mean,--the fair discharges none;
+  She (guiltless creature!) swears to heaven alone.
+    See her eyes start! cheeks glow! and muscles swell!
+  Like the mad maid in the Cumean cell.
+  Thus that divine one her soft nights employs!
+  Thus tunes her soul to tender nuptial joys!
+  And when the cruel morning calls to bed,
+  And on her pillow lays her aching head,
+  With the dear images her dreams are crown'd,
+  The die spins lovely, or the cards go round;
+  Imaginary ruin charms her still;
+  Her happy lord is cuckol'd by spadille:
+  And if she's brought to bed, 'tis ten to one,
+  He marks the forehead of her darling son.
+    O scene of horror, and of wild despair,
+  Why is the rich Atrides' splended heir
+  Constrain'd to quit his ancient lordly seat,
+  And hide his glories in a mean retreat?
+  Why that drawn sword? And whence that dismal cry?
+  Why pale distraction thro' the family?
+  See my lord threaten, and my lady weep,
+  And trembling servants from the tempest creep.
+  Why that gay son to distant regions sent?
+  What fiends that daughter's destin'd match prevent?
+  Why the whole house in sudden ruin laid?
+  O nothing, but last night--my lady play'd.
+    But wanders not my satire from my theme?
+  Is this too owing to the love of fame?
+  Though now your hearts on lucre are bestow'd,
+  'Twas first a vain devotion to the mode;
+  Nor cease we here, since 'tis a vice so strong,
+  The torrent sweeps all womankind along;
+  This may be said, in honour of our times,
+  That none now stand distinguish'd by their crimes.
+    If sin you must, take nature for your guide:
+  Love has some soft excuse to soothe your pride:
+  Ye fair apostates from love's ancient power!
+  Can nothing ravish, but a golden shower?
+  Can cards alone your glowing fancy seize;
+  Must Cupid learn to punt, ere he can please?
+  When you're enamour'd of a lift or cast,
+  What can the preacher more, to make us chaste?
+  Why must strong youths unmarried pine away?
+  They find no woman disengag'd----from play.
+  Why pine the married--O severer fate!
+  They find from play no disengag'd--estate.
+  Flavia, at lovers false, untouch'd and hard,
+  Turns pale, and trembles at a cruel card.
+  Nor Arria's Bible can secure her age;
+  Her threescore years are shuffling with her page.
+  While death stands by, but till the game is done,
+  To sweep that stake, in justice, long his own;
+  Like old cards ting'd with sulphur, she takes fire;
+  Or, like snuffs sunk in sockets, blazes higher.
+  Ye gods! with new delights inspire the fair;
+  Or give us sons, and save us from despair.
+    Sons, brothers, fathers, husbands, tradesmen, close
+  In my complaint, and brand your sins in prose:
+  Yet I believe, as firmly as my creed,
+  In spite of all our wisdom, you'll proceed:
+  Our pride so great, our passion is so strong,
+  Advice to right confirms us in the wrong.
+  I hear you cry, "This fellow's very odd."
+  When you chastise, who would not kiss the rod?
+  But I've a charm your anger shall control,
+  And turn your eyes with coldness on the vole.
+    The charm begins! To yonder flood of light,
+  That bursts o'er gloomy Britain, turn your sight.
+  What guardian power o'erwhelms your souls with awe?
+  Her deeds are precepts, her example law;
+  'Midst empire's charms, how Carolina's heart
+  Glows with the love of virtue, and of art!
+  Her favour is diffus'd to that degree,
+  Excess of goodness! it has dawn'd on me:
+  When in my page, to balance numerous faults,
+  Or godlike deeds were shown, or gen'rous thoughts,
+  She smil'd, industrious to be pleas'd, nor knew
+  From whom my pen the borrow'd lustre drew.
+    (18)Thus the majestic mother of mankind,
+  To her own charms most amiably blind,
+  On the green margin innocently stood,
+  And gaz'd indulgent on the crystal flood;
+  Survey'd the stranger in the painted wave,
+  And, smiling, prais'd the beauties which she gave.
+

+
+                               Satire VII.
+
+
+               To the Right Honourable Sir Robert Walpole.
+
+
+      Carmina tum melius, cum venerit ipse, canemus.
+
+                                                                 VIRG.
+
+
+  On this last labour, this my closing strain,
+  Smile, Walpole! or the Nine inspire in vain:
+  To thee, 'tis due; that verse how justly thine,
+  Where Brunswick's glory crowns the whole design!
+  That glory, which thy counsels make so bright;
+  That glory, which on thee reflects a light.
+  Illustrious commerce, and but rarely known!
+  To give, and take, a lustre from the throne.
+    Nor think that thou art foreign to my theme;
+  The fountain is not foreign to the stream.
+  How all mankind will be surprised, to see
+  This flood of British folly charg'd on thee!
+  Say, Britain! whence this caprice of thy sons,
+  Which thro' their various ranks with fury runs?
+  The cause is plain, a cause which we must bless;
+  For caprice is the daughter of success,
+  (A bad effect, but from a pleasing cause!)
+  And gives our rulers undesign'd applause;
+  Tells how their conduct bids our wealth increase,
+  And lulls us in the downy lap of peace.
+    While I survey the blessings of our isle,
+  Her arts triumphant in the royal smile,
+  Her public wounds bound up, her credit high,
+  Her commerce spreading sails in every sky,
+  The pleasing scene recalls my theme again,
+  And shows the madness of ambitious men,
+  Who, fond of bloodshed, draw the murd'ring sword,
+  And burn to give mankind a single lord.
+    The follies past are of a private kind;
+  Their sphere is small; their mischief is confin'd:
+  But daring men there are (Awake, my muse,
+  And raise thy verse!) who bolder frenzy choose;
+  Who stung by glory, rave, and bound away;
+  The world their field, and humankind their prey.
+    The Grecian chief, th' enthusiast of his pride,
+  With rage and terror stalking by his side,
+  Raves round the globe; he soars into a god!
+  Stand fast, Olympus! and sustain his nod.
+  The pest divine in horrid grandeur reigns,
+  And thrives on mankind's miseries and pains,
+  What slaughter'd hosts! what cities in a blaze!
+  What wasted countries! and what crimson seas!
+  With orphans' tears his impious bowl o'erflows,
+  And cries of kingdoms lull him to repose.
+    And cannot thrice ten hundred years unpraise
+  The boist'rous boy, and blast his guilty bays?
+  Why want we then encomiums on the storm,
+  Or famine, or volcano? They perform
+  Their mighty deeds: they, hero-like, can slay,
+  And spread their ample desarts in a day.
+  O great alliance! O divine renown!
+  With dearth, and pestilence, to share the crown.
+  When men extol a wild destroyer's name,
+  Earth's builder and preserver they blaspheme.
+    One to destroy, is murder by the law;
+  And gibbets keep the lifted hand in awe;
+  To murder thousands, takes a specious name,
+  War's glorious art, and gives immortal fame.
+    When, after battle, I the field have seen
+  Spread o'er with ghastly shapes, which once were men;
+  A nation crush'd, a nation of the brave!
+  A realm of death! and on this side the grave!
+  Are there, said I, who from this sad survey,
+  This human chaos, carry smiles away?
+  How did my heart with indignation rise!
+  How honest nature swell'd into my eyes!
+  How was I shock'd to think the hero's trade
+  Of such materials, fame and triumph made!
+    How guilty these! Yet not less guilty they,
+  Who reach false glory by a smoother way:
+  Who wrap destruction up in gentle words,
+  And bows, and smiles, more fatal than their swords;
+  Who stifle nature, and subsist on art;
+  Who coin the face, and petrify the heart;
+  All real kindness for the show discard,
+  As marble polish'd, and as marble hard;
+  Who do for gold what Christians do thro' grace,
+  "With open arms their enemies embrace:"
+  Who give a nod when broken hearts repine;
+  "The thinnest food on which a wretch can dine:"
+  Or, if they serve you, serve you disinclin'd,
+  And, in their height of kindness, are unkind.
+  Such courtiers were, and such again may be,
+  Walpole! when men forget to copy thee.
+    Here cease, my muse! the catalogue is writ;
+  Nor one more candidate for fame admit,
+  Tho' disappointed thousands justly blame
+  Thy partial pen, and boast an equal claim:
+  Be this their comfort, fools, omitted here,
+  May furnish laughter for another year.
+  Then let Crispino, who was ne'er refused
+  The justice yet of being well abus'd,
+  With patience wait; and be content to reign
+  The pink of puppies in some future strain.
+    Some future strain, in which the muse shall tell
+  How science dwindles, and how volumes swell.
+    How commentators each dark passage shun,
+  And hold their farthing candle to the sun.
+    How tortur'd texts to speak our sense are made,
+  And every vice is to the scripture laid.
+    How misers squeeze a young voluptuous peer;
+  His sins to Lucifer not half so dear.
+  How Verres is less qualified to steal
+  With sword and pistol, than with wax and seal.
+    How lawyers' fees to such excess are run,
+  That clients are redress'd till they're undone.
+  How one man's anguish is another's sport;
+  And ev'n denials cost us dear at court.
+    How man eternally false judgments makes,
+  And all his joys and sorrows are mistakes.
+    This swarm of themes that settles on my pen,
+  Which I, like summer flies, shake off again,
+  Let others sing; to whom my weak essay
+  But sounds a prelude, and points out their prey:
+  That duty done, I hasten to complete
+  My own design; for Tonson's at the gate.
+    The love of fame in its effect survey'd,
+  The muse has sung; be now the cause display'd:
+  Since so diffusive, and so wide its sway,
+  What is this power, whom all mankind obey?
+    Shot from above, by heaven's indulgence, came
+  This generous ardour, this unconquer'd flame,
+  To warm, to raise, to deify, mankind,
+  Still burning brightest in the noblest mind.
+  By large-soul'd men, for thirst of fame renown'd,
+  Wise laws were fram'd, and sacred arts were found;
+  Desire of praise first broke the patriot's rest,
+  And made a bulwark of the warrior's breast;
+  It bids Argyll in fields and senate shine.
+  What more can prove its origin divine?
+    But, oh! this passion planted in the soul,
+  On eagle's wings to mount her to the pole,
+  The flaming minister of virtue meant,
+  Set up false gods, and wrong'd her high descent.
+    Ambition, hence, exerts a doubtful force,
+  Of blots, and beauties, an alternate source;
+  Hence Gildon rails, that raven of the pit,
+  Who thrives upon the carcasses of wit;
+  And in art-loving Scarborough is seen
+  How kind a pattern Pollio might have been.
+  Pursuit of fame with pedants fills our schools,
+  And into coxcombs burnishes our fools;
+  Pursuit of fame makes solid learning bright,
+  And Newton lifts above a mortal height;
+  That key of nature, by whose wit she clears
+  Her long, long secrets of five thousand years.
+    Would you then fully comprehend the whole,
+  Why, and in what degrees, pride sways the soul?
+  (For though in all, not equally, she reigns,)
+  Awake to knowledge, and attend my strains.
+    Ye doctors! hear the doctrine I disclose,
+  As true, as if't were writ in dullest prose;
+  As if a letter'd dunce had said, "'Tis right,"
+  And imprimatur usher'd it to light.
+    Ambition, in the truly noble mind,
+  With sister virtue is for ever join'd;
+  As in fam'd Lucrece, who, with equal dread,
+  From guilt, and shame, by her last conduct, fled:
+  Her virtue long rebell'd in firm disdain,
+  And the sword pointed at her heart in vain;
+  But, when the slave was threaten'd to be laid
+  Dead by her side, her love of fame obey'd.
+    In meaner minds ambition works alone;
+  But with such art puts virtue's aspect on,
+  That not more like in feature and in mien,
+  (19)The god and mortal in the comic scene.
+  False Julius, ambush'd in this fair disguise,
+  Soon made the Roman liberties his prize.
+    No mask in basest minds ambition wears,
+  But in full light pricks up her ass's ears:
+  All I have sung are instances of this,
+  And prove my theme unfolded not amiss.
+    Ye vain! desist from your erroneous strife;
+  Be wise, and quit the false sublime of life,
+  The true ambition there alone resides,
+  Where justice vindicates, and wisdom guides;
+  Where inward dignity joins outward state;
+  Our purpose good, as our achievement great;
+  Where public blessings public praise attend;
+  Where glory is our motive, not our end.
+  Wouldst thou be fam'd? Have those high deeds in view
+  Brave men would act, though scandal should ensue.
+    Behold a prince! whom no swoln thoughts inflame;
+  No pride of thrones, no fever after fame!
+  But when the welfare of mankind inspires,
+  And death in view to dear-bought glory fires,
+  Proud conquests then, then regal pomps delight;
+  Then crowns, then triumphs, sparkle in his sight;
+  Tumult and noise are dear, which with them bring
+  His people's blessings to their ardent king:
+  But, when those great heroic motives cease,
+  His swelling soul subsides to native peace;
+  From tedious grandeur's faded charms withdraws,
+  A sudden foe to splendour and applause;
+  Greatly deferring his arrears of fame,
+  Till men and angels jointly shout his name.
+  O pride celestial! which can pride disdain;
+  O blest ambition! which can ne'er be vain.
+    From one fam'd Alpine hill, which props the sky,
+  In whose deep womb unfathom'd waters lie,
+  Here burst the Rhone, and sounding Po; there shine,
+  In infant rills, the Danube and the Rhine;
+  From the rich store one fruitful urn supplies,
+  Whole kingdoms smile, a thousand harvests rise.
+    In Brunswick such a source the muse adores,
+  Which public blessings thro' half Europe pours.
+  When his heart burns with such a godlike aim,
+  Angels and George are rivals for the fame;
+  George! who in foes can soft affections raise,
+  And charm envenom'd satire into praise.
+    (20)Nor human rage alone his power perceives,
+  But the mad winds, and the tumultuous waves.
+  Ev'n storms (death's fiercest ministers!) forbear,
+  And, in their own wild empire, learn to spare.
+  Thus, nature's self, supporting man's decree,
+  Styles Britain's sovereign, sovereign of the sea.
+    While sea and air, great Brunswick! shook our state,
+  And sported with a king's and kingdom's fate,
+  Depriv'd of what she lov'd, and press'd by fear
+  Of ever losing what she held most dear,
+  How did Britannia, like (21)Achilles, weep,
+  And tell her sorrows to the kindred deep!
+  Hang o'er the floods, and, in devotion warm,
+  Strive, for thee, with the surge, and fight the storm
+    What felt thy Walpole, pilot of the realm!
+  Our Palinurus(22) slept not at the helm;
+  His eye ne'er clos'd; long since inur'd to wake,
+  And out-watch every star for Brunswick's sake:
+  By thwarting passions tost, by cares opprest,
+  He found the tempest pictur'd in his breast:
+  But, now, what joys that gloom of heart dispel,
+  No powers of language--but his own, can tell:
+  His own, which nature and the graces form,
+  At will, to raise, or hush, the civil storm.

+
+                              OCEAN: AN ODE
+
+
+   occasioned by His Majesty's Royal Encouragement of the Sea Service.
+
+
+     To Which is Prefixed an Ode to the King; and a Discourse on Ode.
+
+
+    I think myself obliged to recommend to you a consideration of the
+    greatest importance; and I should look upon it as a great
+    happiness, if, at the beginning of my reign, I could see the
+    foundation laid of so great and necessary a work, as the increase
+    and encouragement of our seamen in general; that they may be
+    invited, rather than compelled by force and violence, to enter
+    into the service of their country, as oft as occasion shall
+    require it: a consideration worthy the representatives of a people
+    great and flourishing in trade and navigation. This leads me to
+    mention to you the case of Greenwich Hospital, that care may be
+    taken, by some addition to that fund, to render comfortable and
+    effectual that charitable provision, for the support and
+    maintenance of our seamen, worn out, and become decrepit by age
+    and infirmities, in the service of their country.
+
+                                            [Speech, Jan. 27, 1727-8.]
+
+
+
+
+                            To the King.--1728.
+
+
+    Old ocean's praise
+    Demands my lays;
+  A truly British theme I sing;
+    A theme so great,
+    I dare complete,
+  And join with ocean, ocean's king.
+
+  The Roman ode
+    Majestic flow'd:
+  Its stream divinely clear, and strong;
+    In sense, and sound,
+    Thebes roll'd profound;
+  The torrent roar'd and foam'd along.
+
+    Let Thebes, nor Rome,
+    So fam'd, presume
+  To triumph o'er a northern isle;
+    Late time shall know
+    The north can glow,
+  If dread Augustus deign to smile.
+
+    The naval crown
+    Is all his own!
+  Our fleet, if war, or commerce, call,
+    His will performs
+    Through waves and storms,
+  And rides in triumph round the ball.
+
+    No former race,
+    With strong embrace,
+  This theme to ravish durst aspire;
+    With virgin charms
+    My soul it warms,
+  And melts melodious on my lyre.
+
+    My lays I file
+    With cautious toil;
+  Ye graces! turn the glowing lines;
+  On anvils neat
+    Your strokes repeat;
+  At every stroke the work refines!
+
+    How music charms!
+    How metre warms!
+  Parent of actions, good and brave!
+    How vice it tames!
+    And worth inflames!
+  And holds proud empire o'er the grave!
+
+    Jove mark'd for man
+    A scanty span,
+  But lent him wings to fly his doom;
+    Wit scorns the grave;
+    To wit he gave
+  The life of gods! immortal bloom!
+
+    Since years will fly,
+    And pleasures die,
+  Day after day, as years advance;
+    Since, while life lasts,
+    Joy suffers blasts
+  From frowning fate, and fickle chance;
+
+    Nor life is long;
+    But soon we throng,
+  Like autumn leaves, death's pallid shore;
+    We make, at least,
+    Of bad the best,
+  If in life's phantom, fame, we soar.
+
+    Our strains divide
+    The laurel's pride;
+  With those we lift to life, to live;
+    By fame enroll'd
+    With heroes bold,
+  And share the blessings which we give.
+
+    What hero's praise
+    Can fire my lays,
+  Like his, with whom my lay begun?
+    "Justice sincere,
+    And courage clear,
+  Rise the two columns of his throne.
+
+    "How form'd for sway!
+    Who look, obey;
+  They read the monarch in his port:
+    Their love and awe
+    Supply the law;
+  And his own lustre makes the court:"
+
+    On yonder height,
+    What golden light
+  Triumphant shines? and shines alone?
+    Unrivall'd blaze!
+    The nations gaze!
+  'Tis not the sun; 'tis Britain's throne.
+
+    Our monarch, there,
+    Rear'd high in air,
+  Should tempests rise, disdains to bend;
+  Like British oak,
+    Derides the stroke;
+  His blooming honours far extend!
+
+    Beneath them lies,
+    With lifted eyes,
+  Fair Albion, like an amorous maid;
+    While interest wings
+    Bold foreign kings
+  To fly, like eagles, to his shade.
+
+    At his proud foot
+    The sea, pour'd out,
+  Immortal nourishment supplies;
+    Thence wealth and state,
+    And power and fate,
+  Which Europe reads in George's eyes.
+
+    From what we view,
+    We take the clue,
+  Which leads from great to greater thing
+    Men doubt no more,
+    But gods adore,
+  When such resemblance shines in kings.
+
+
+
+
+                             On Lyric Poetry.
+
+
+How imperfect soever my own composition may be, yet am I willing to speak
+a word or two, of the nature of lyric poetry; to show that I have, at
+least, some idea of perfection in that kind of poem in which I am engaged;
+and that I do not think myself poet enough entirely to rely on inspiration
+for success in it.
+
+To our having, or not having, this idea of perfection in the poem we
+undertake, is chiefly owing the merit or demerit of our performances, as
+also the modesty or vanity of our opinions concerning them. And in
+speaking of it I shall show how it unavoidably comes to pass, that bad
+poets, that is, poets in general, are esteemed, and really are, the most
+vain, the most irritable, and most ridiculous set of men upon earth. But
+poetry in its own nature is certainly
+
+
+      Non hos qu�situm munus in usus.
+
+                                                                --VIRG.
+
+
+He that has an idea of perfection in the work he undertakes may fail in
+it; he that has not, must: and yet he will be vain. For every little
+degree of beauty, how short or improper soever, will be looked on fondly
+by him; because it is all pure gains, and more than he promised to
+himself; and because he has no test, or standard in his judgment, with
+which to chastise his opinion of it.
+
+Now this idea of perfection is, in poetry, more refined than in other
+kinds of writing; and because more refined, therefore more difficult; and
+because more difficult, therefore more rarely attained; and the
+non-attainment of it is, as I have said, the source of our vanity. Hence
+the poetic clan are more obnoxious to vanity than others. And from vanity
+consequently flows that great sensibility of disrespect, that quick
+resentment, that tinder of the mind that kindles at every spark, and
+justly marks them out for the genus irritabile among mankind. And from
+this combustible temper, this serious anger for no very serious things,
+things looked on by most as foreign to the important points of life, as
+consequentially flows that inheritance of ridicule, which devolves on
+them, from generation to generation. As soon as they become authors, they
+become like Ben Jonson's angry boy, and learn the art of quarrel.
+
+
+      Concordes anim�--dum nocte prementur;
+      Heu! quantum inter se bellum, si lumina vit�
+      Attigerint, quantas acies stragemque ciebunt!
+      Qui Juvenes! quantas ostentant, aspice, vires.
+      Ne, pueri! ne tanta animis assuescite bella.
+      Tuque prior, tu parce, genus qui ducis Olympo,
+      Sidereo flagrans clypeo, et coelestibus armis,
+      Projice tela manu, sanguis meus!
+      Nec te ull� facies, non terruit ipse Typhoeus
+      Arduus, arma tenens; non te Messapus et Ufens,
+      Contemtorque De�m Mezentius.
+
+                                                                 VIRG.
+
+
+But to return. He that has this idea of perfection in the work he
+undertakes, however successful he is, will yet be modest; because to rise
+up to that idea, which he proposed for his model, is almost, if not
+absolutely, impossible.
+
+These two observations account for what may seem as strange, as it is
+infallibly true; I mean, they show us why good writers have the lowest,
+and bad writers the highest, opinion of their own performances. They who
+have only a partial idea of this perfection, as their portion of ignorance
+or knowledge of it is greater or less, have proportionable degrees of
+modesty or conceit.
+
+Nor, though natural good understanding makes a tolerably just judgment in
+things of this nature, will the reader judge the worse, for forming to
+himself a notion of what he ought to expect from the piece he has in hand,
+before he begins his perusal of it.
+
+The ode, as it is the eldest kind of poetry, so it is more spiritous, and
+more remote from prose, than any other, in sense, sound, expression, and
+conduct. Its thoughts should be uncommon, sublime, and moral; its numbers
+full, easy, and most harmonious; its expression pure, strong, delicate,
+yet unaffected; and of a curious felicity beyond other poems; its conduct
+should be rapturous, somewhat abrupt, and immethodical to a vulgar eye.
+That apparent order, and connexion, which gives form and life to some
+compositions, takes away the very soul of this. Fire, elevation, and
+select thought, are indispensable; an humble, tame, and vulgar ode is the
+most pitiful error a pen can commit.
+
+
+      Musa dedit fidibus divos, puerosque deorum.
+
+
+And as its subjects are sublime, its writer's genius should be so too;
+otherwise it becomes the meanest thing in writing, viz. an involuntary
+burlesque.
+
+It is the genuine character, and true merit of the ode, a little to
+startle some apprehensions. Men of cold complexions are very apt to
+mistake a want of vigour in their imaginations, for a delicacy of taste in
+their judgments; and, like persons of a tender sight, they look on bright
+objects, in their natural lustre, as too glaring; what is most delightful
+to a stronger eye, is painful to them. Thus Pindar, who has as much logic
+at the bottom as Aristotle or Euclid, to some critics has appeared as mad;
+and must appear so to all who enjoy no portion of his own divine spirit.
+Dwarf understandings, measuring others by their own standard, are apt to
+think they see a monster, when they see a man.
+
+And indeed it seems to be the amends which nature makes to those whom she
+has not blessed with an elevation of mind, to indulge them in the
+comfortable mistake, that all is wrong, which falls not within the narrow
+limits of their own comprehensions and relish.
+
+Judgment, indeed, that masculine power of the mind, in ode, as in all
+compositions, should bear the supreme sway; and a beautiful imagination,
+as its mistress, should be subdued to its dominion. Hence, and hence only,
+can proceed the fairest offspring of the human mind.
+
+But then in ode, there is this difference from other kinds of poetry;
+that, there, the imagination, like a very beautiful mistress, is indulged
+in the appearance of domineering; though the judgment, like an artful
+lover, in reality carries its point; and the less it is suspected of it,
+it shows the more masterly conduct, and deserves the greater commendation.
+
+It holds true in this province of writing, as in war, "The more danger;
+the more honour." It must be very enterprising: it must, in Shakespeare's
+style, have hairbreadth 'scapes; and often tread the very brink of error:
+nor can it ever deserve the applause of the real judge, unless it renders
+itself obnoxious to the misapprehensions of the contrary.
+
+Such is Casimire's strain among the moderns, whose lively wit, and happy
+fire, is an honour to them. And Buchanan might justly be much admired, if
+any thing more than the sweetness of his numbers, and the purity of his
+diction, were his own: his original, from which I have taken my motto,
+through all the disadvantages of a northern prose translation, is still
+admirable; and, Cowley says, as preferable in beauty to Buchanan, as Jud�a
+is to Scotland.
+
+Pindar, Anacreon, Sappho, and Horace, are the great masters of lyric
+poetry among Heathen writers. Pindar's muse, like Sacharissa, is a
+stately, imperious, and accomplished beauty; equally disdaining the use of
+art, and the fear of any rival; so intoxicating that it was the highest
+commendation that could be given an ancient, that he was not afraid to
+taste of her charms;
+
+
+      Pindarici fontis qui non expalluit haustus;
+
+
+a danger which Horace declares he durst not run.
+
+Anacreon's Muse is like Amoret, most sweet, natural, and delicate; all
+over flowers, graces, and charms; inspiring complacency, not awe; and she
+seems to have good nature enough to admit a rival, which she cannot find.
+
+Sappho's Muse, like Lady ----, is passionately tender, and glowing; like oil
+set on fire, she is soft, and warm, in excess. Sappho has left us a few
+fragments only; time has swallowed the rest; but that little which
+remains, like the remaining jewel of Cleopatra, after the other was
+dissolved at her banquet, may be esteemed (as was that jewel) a sufficient
+ornament for the goddess of beauty herself.
+
+Horace's Muse (like one I shall not presume to name) is correct, solid,
+and moral; she joins all the sweetness and majesty, all the sense and the
+fire of the former, in the justest proportions and degrees; superadding a
+felicity of dress entirely her own. She moreover is distinguishable by
+this particularity, that she abounds in hidden graces, and secret charms,
+which none but the discerning can discover; nor are any capable of doing
+full justice, in their opinion to her excellencies, without giving the
+world, at the same time, an incontestable proof of refinement in their own
+understandings.
+
+But, after all, to the honour of our own country I must add, that I think
+Mr. Dryden's Ode on St. Cecilia's Day inferior to no composition of this
+kind. Its chief beauty consists in adapting the numbers most happily to
+the variety of the occasion. Those by which he has chosen to express
+majesty, (viz.)
+
+
+        Assumes the God,
+        Affects to nod,
+      And seems to shake the spheres,
+
+
+are chosen in the following ode, because the subject of it is great.
+
+For the more harmony likewise, I chose the frequent return of rhyme; which
+laid me under great difficulties. But difficulties overcome give grace and
+pleasure. Nor can I account for the pleasure of rhyme in general (of which
+the moderns are too fond) but from this truth.
+
+But then the writer must take care that the difficulty is overcome. That
+is, he must make rhyme consistent with as perfect sense, and expression,
+as could be expected if he was free from that shackle. Otherwise, it gives
+neither grace to the work, nor pleasure to the reader, nor, consequently,
+reputation to the poet.
+
+To sum the whole: ode should be peculiar, but not strained; moral, but not
+flat; natural, but not obvious; delicate, but not affected; noble, but not
+ambitious; full, but not obscure; fiery, but not mad; thick, but not
+loaded in its numbers, which should be most harmonious, without the least
+sacrifice of expression, or of sense. Above all, in this, as in every work
+of genius, somewhat of an original spirit should be, at least attempted;
+otherwise the poet, whose character disclaims mediocrity, makes a
+secondary praise his ultimate ambition; which has something of a
+contradiction in it. Originals only have true life, and differ as much
+from the best imitations, as men from the most animated pictures of them.
+Nor is what I say at all inconsistent with a due deference for the great
+standards of antiquity; nay, that very deference is an argument for it,
+for doubtless their example is on my side in this matter. And we should
+rather imitate their example in the general motives, and fundamental
+methods of their working, than in their works themselves. This is a
+distinction, I think, not hitherto made, and a distinction of consequence.
+For the first may make us their equals; the second must pronounce us their
+inferiors even in our utmost success. But the first of these prizes is not
+so readily taken by the moderns; as valuables too massy for easy carriage
+are not so liable to the thief.
+
+The ancients had a particular regard to the choice of their subjects;
+which were generally national and great. My subject is, in its own nature,
+noble; most proper for an Englishman; never more proper than on this
+occasion; and (what is strange) hitherto unsung.
+
+If I stand not absolutely condemned by my own rules; if I have hit the
+spirit of ode in general; if I cannot think with Mr. Cowley, that "Music
+alone, sometimes, makes an excellent ode;"
+
+
+      Versus inopes rerum, nug�que canor�;
+
+
+if there is any thought, enthusiasm, and picture, which are as the body,
+soul, and robe of poetry; in a word, if in any degree I have provided
+rather food for men, than air for wits; I hope smaller faults will meet
+indulgence for the sake of the design, which is the glory of my country
+and my king.
+
+And indeed, this may be said, in general, that great subjects are above
+being nice; that dignity and spirit ever suffer from scrupulous exactness;
+And that the minuter cares effeminate a composition. Great masters of
+poetry, painting, and statuary, in their nobler works, have even affected
+the contrary: and justly; for a truly masculine air partakes more of the
+negligent, than of the neat, both in writings, and in life--
+
+
+      Grandis oratio haberet majestatis su� pondus.
+
+                                                              --PETRON.
+
+
+A poem, like a criminal, under too severe correction, may lose all its
+spirit, and expire. We know it was Faberrimus, that was such an artist at
+a hair or a nail. And we know the cause was
+
+
+      Quia ponere totum
+      Nescius.
+
+                                                                  HOR.
+
+
+To close: if a piece of this nature wants an apology, I must own, that
+those who have strength of mind sufficient profitably to devote the whole
+of their time to the severer studies, I despair of imitating, I can only
+envy and admire. The mind is relieved and strengthened by variety; and he
+that sometimes is sporting with his pen, is only taking the most effectual
+means of giving a general importance to it. This truth is clear from the
+knowledge of human nature, and of history; from which I could cite very
+celebrated instances, did I not fear that, by citing them, I should
+condemn myself, who am so little qualified to follow their example in its
+full extent.

+
+
+    Sweet rural scene!
+    Of flocks and green!
+  At careless ease my limbs are spread;
+    All nature still,
+    But yonder rill;
+  And list'ning pines nod o'er my head:
+
+    In prospect wide,
+    The boundless tide!
+  Waves cease to foam, and winds to roar;
+    Without a breeze,
+    The curling seas
+  Dance on, in measure to the shore.
+
+    Who sings the source
+    Of wealth and force?
+  Vast field of commerce, and big war,
+    Where wonders dwell!
+    Where terrors swell!
+  And Neptune thunders from his car?
+
+    Where? where are they,
+    Whom P�an's ray
+  Has touch'd, and bid divinely rave?--
+  What! none aspire?
+    I snatch the lyre,
+  And plunge into the foaming wave.
+
+    The wave resounds!
+    The rock rebounds!
+  The Nereids to my song reply!
+    I lead the choir,
+    And they conspire,
+  With voice and shell, to lift it high.
+
+    They spread in air
+    Their bosoms fair,
+  Their verdant tresses pour behind:
+    The billows beat
+    With nimble feet,
+  With notes triumphant swell the wind.
+
+    Who love the shore,
+    Let those adore
+  The god Apollo, and his Nine,
+    Parnassus' hill,
+    And Orpheus' skill;
+  But let Arion's harp be mine.
+
+    The main! the main!
+    Is Britain's reign;
+  Her strength, her glory, is her fleet:
+    The main! the main!
+    Be Britain's strain;
+  As Tritons strong, as Syrens sweet.
+
+  Thro' nature wide
+    Is nought descried
+  So rich in pleasure or surprise;
+    When all-serene,
+    How sweet the scene!
+  How dreadful, when the billows rise;
+
+    And storms deface
+    The fluid glass,
+  In which erewhile Britannia fair
+    Look'd down with pride,
+    Like Ocean's bride,
+  Adjusting her majestic air!
+
+    When tempests cease,
+    And, hush'd in peace,
+  The flatten'd surges smoothly spread,
+    Deep silence keep,
+    And seem to sleep
+  Recumbent on their oozy bed;
+
+    With what a trance,
+    The level glance,
+  Unbroken, shoots along the seas!
+    Which tempt from shore
+    The painted oar;
+  And every canvass courts the breeze!
+
+    When rushes forth
+    The frowning north
+  On black'ning billows, with what dread
+  My shuddering soul
+    Beholds them roll,
+  And hears their roarings o'er my head!
+
+    With terror mark
+    Yon flying bark!
+  Now center-deep descend the brave;
+    Now, toss'd on high,
+    It takes the sky,
+  A feather on the tow'ring wave!
+
+    Now spins around
+    In whirls profound:
+  Now whelm'd; now pendant near the clouds;
+    Now stunn'd, it reels
+    'Midst thunder's peals:
+  And now fierce lightning fires the shrouds.
+
+    All ether burns!
+    Chaos returns!
+  And blends, once more, the seas and skies:
+    No space between
+    Thy bosom green,
+  O deep! and the blue concave, lies.
+
+    The northern blast,
+    The shatter'd mast,
+  The syrt, the whirlpool, and the rock,
+    The breaking spout,
+    The stars gone out,
+  The boiling streight, the monsters shock,
+
+    Let others fear;
+    To Britain dear
+  Whate'er promotes her daring claim;
+    Those terrors charm,
+    Which keep her warm
+  In chase of honest gain, or fame.
+
+    The stars are bright
+    To cheer the night,
+  And shed, thro' shadows, temper'd fire;
+    And Phoebus' flames,
+    With burnish'd beams,
+  Which some adore, and all admire.
+
+    Are then the seas
+    Outshone by these?
+  Bright Thetis! thou art not outshone;
+    With kinder beams,
+    And softer gleams,
+  Thy bosom wears them as thy own.
+
+    There, set in green,
+    Gold stars are seen,
+  A mantle rich! thy charms to wrap;
+    And when the sun
+    His race has run,
+  He falls enamour'd in thy lap.
+
+    Those clouds, whose dyes
+    Adorn the skies,
+  That silver snow, that pearly rain,
+    Has Phoebus stole
+    To grace the pole,
+  The plunder of th' invaded main!
+
+    The gaudy bow,
+    Whose colours glow,
+  Whose arch with so much skill is bent,
+    To Phoebus' ray,
+    Which paints so gay,
+  By thee the wat'ry woof was lent.
+
+    In chambers deep,
+    Where waters sleep,
+  What unknown treasures pave the floor!
+    The pearl, in rows,
+    Pale lustre throws;
+  The wealth immense, which storms devour.
+
+    From Indian mines,
+    With proud designs,
+  The merchant, swoln, digs golden ore;
+    The tempests rise,
+    And seize the prize,
+  And toss him breathless on the shore.
+
+    His son complains
+    In pious strains,
+  "Ah cruel thirst of gold!" he cries;
+    Then ploughs the main,
+    In zeal for gain,
+  The tears yet swelling in his eyes.
+
+    Thou wat'ry vast!
+    What mounds are cast
+  To bar thy dreadful flowings o'er!
+    Thy proudest foam
+    Must know its home;
+  But rage of gold disdains a shore.
+
+    Gold pleasure buys;
+    But pleasure dies,
+  Too soon the gross fruition cloys;
+    Tho' raptures court,
+    The sense is short;
+  But virtue kindles living joys;
+
+    Joys felt alone!
+    Joys ask'd of none!
+  Which time's and fortune's arrows miss:
+    Joys that subsist,
+    Tho' fates resist,
+  An unprecarious, endless bliss!
+
+    The soul refin'd
+    Is most inclin'd
+  To every moral excellence;
+    All vice is dull,
+    A knave's a fool;
+  And virtue is the child of sense.
+
+    The virtuous mind,
+    Nor wave, nor wind,
+  Nor civil rage, nor tyrant's frown,
+    The shaken ball,
+    Nor planet's fall,
+  From its firm basis can dethrone.
+
+    This Britain knows,
+    And therefore glows
+  With gen'rous passions, and expends
+    Her wealth and zeal
+    On public weal,
+  And brightens both by god-like ends.
+
+    What end so great
+    As that which late
+  Awoke the genius of the main;
+    Which tow'ring rose
+    With George to close,
+  And rival great Eliza's reign?
+
+    A voice has flown
+    From Britain's throne
+  To re-inflame a grand design;
+    That voice shall rear
+    Yon (23)fabric fair,
+  As nature's rose at the divine.
+
+    When nature sprung,
+    Blest angels sung,
+  And shouted o'er the rising ball;
+    For strains as high
+    As man's can fly,
+  These sea-devoted honours call.
+
+    From boist'rous seas,
+    The lap of ease
+  Receives our wounded, and our old;
+    High domes ascend!
+    Stretch'd arches bend!
+  Proud columns swell! wide gates unfold!
+
+    Here, soft reclin'd,
+    From wave, from wind,
+  And fortune's tempest safe ashore,
+    To cheat their care,
+    Of former war
+  They talk the pleasing shadows o'er.
+
+    In lengthen'd tales,
+    Our fleet prevails;
+  In tales the lenitives of age!
+    And o'er the bowl,
+    They fire the soul
+  Of list'ning youth, to martial rage.
+
+    Unhappy they!
+    And falsely gay!
+  Who bask for ever in success;
+    A constant feast
+    Quite palls the taste,
+  And long enjoyment is distress.
+
+    When, after toil,
+    His native soil
+  The panting mariner regains,
+    What transport flows
+    From bare repose!
+  We reap our pleasure from our pains.
+
+    Ye warlike slain!
+    Beneath the main,
+  Wrapt in a wat'ry winding sheet;
+    Who bought with blood
+    Your country's good,
+  Your country's (24)full-blown glory greet.
+
+    What pow'rful charm
+    Can death disarm?
+  Your long, your iron slumbers break?
+    By Jove, by Fame,
+    By George's name,
+  Awake! awake! awake! awake!
+
+    With spiral shell,
+    Full blasted, tell,
+  That all your wat'ry realms should ring;
+    Your pearl alcoves,
+    Your coral groves,
+  Should echo theirs, and Britain's king.
+
+    As long as stars
+    Guide mariners,
+  As Carolina's virtues please,
+    Or suns invite
+    The ravish'd sight,
+  The British flag shall sweep the seas.
+
+    Peculiar both!
+    Our soil's strong growth,
+  And our bold natives' hardy mind;
+    Sure heaven bespoke
+    Our hearts and oak,
+  To give a master to mankind.
+
+    That noblest birth
+    Of teeming earth,
+  Of forests fair, that daughter proud,
+    To foreign coasts
+    Our grandeur boasts,
+  And Britain's pleasure speaks aloud:
+
+    Now big with war,
+    Sends fate from far,
+  If rebel realms their fate demand,
+    Now, sumptuous spoils
+    Of foreign soils
+  Pours in the bosom of our land.
+
+    Hence Britain lays
+    In scales, and weighs
+  The fate of kingdoms, and of kings;
+    And as she frowns,
+    Or smiles, on crowns
+  A night, or day of glory, springs.
+
+    Thus ocean swells
+    The streams and rills,
+  And to their borders lifts them high;
+    Or else withdraws
+    The mighty cause,
+  And leaves their famish'd channels dry.
+
+    How mixt, how frail,
+    How sure to fail,
+  Is every pleasure of mankind!
+    A damp destroys
+    My blooming joys,
+  While Britain's glory fires my mind.
+
+    For who can gaze
+    On restless seas,
+  Unstruck with life's more restless state?
+    Where all are tost,
+    And most are lost,
+  By tides of passion, blasts of fate?
+
+    The world's the main,
+    How vext! how vain!
+  Ambition swells, and anger foams;
+    May good men find,
+    Beneath the wind,
+  A noiseless shore, unruffled homes!
+
+    The public scene
+    Of harden'd men
+  Teach me, O teach me to despise!
+    The world few know
+    But to their woe,
+  Our crimes with our experience rise;
+
+    All tender sense
+    Is banish'd thence,
+  All maiden nature's first alarms
+    What shock'd before
+    Disgust no more,
+  And what disgusted has its charms.
+
+    In landscapes green
+    True bliss is seen,
+  With innocence, in shades, she sports;
+    In wealthy towns
+    Proud labour frowns,
+  And painted sorrow smiles in courts.
+
+    These scenes untried
+    Seduc'd my pride,
+  To fortune's arrows bar'd my breast;
+    Till wisdom came,
+    A hoary dame!
+  And told me pleasure was in rest.
+
+    "O may I steal
+    Along the vale
+  Of humble life, secure from foes!
+    My friend sincere!
+    My judgment clear!
+  And gentle business my repose!
+
+    "My mind be strong
+    To combat wrong!
+  Grateful, O king! for favours shown!
+    Soft to complain
+    For others' pain!
+  And bold to triumph o'er my own!
+
+    "(When fortune's kind)
+    Acute to find,
+  And warm to relish every boon!
+    And wise to still
+    Fantastic ill,
+  Whose frightful spectres stalk at noon!
+
+    "No fruitless toils!
+    No brainless broils!
+  Each moment levell'd at the mark!
+    Our day so short
+    Invites to sport;
+  Be sad and solemn when 'tis dark.
+
+    "Yet, prudence, still
+    Rein thou my will!
+  What's most important, make most dear!
+    For 'tis in this
+    Resides true bliss;
+  True bliss, a deity severe!
+
+    "When temper leans
+    To gayer scenes,
+  And serious life void moments spares,
+    The sylvan chase
+    My sinews brace!
+  Or song unbend my mind from cares!
+
+    "Nor shun, my soul!
+    The genial bowl,
+  Where mirth, good nature, spirit, flow!
+    Ingredients these,
+    Above, to please
+  The laughing gods, the wise, below.
+
+    "Though rich the vine,
+    More wit than wine,
+  More sense than wit, good-will than art,
+    May I provide!
+    Fair truth, my pride!
+  My joy, the converse of the heart!
+
+    "The gloomy brow,
+    The broken vow,
+  To distant climes, ye gods! remove!
+    The nobly soul'd
+    Their commerce hold
+  With words of truth and looks of love!
+
+    "O glorious aim!
+    O wealth supreme!
+  Divine benevolence of soul!
+    That greatly glows,
+    And freely flows,
+  And in one blessing grasps the whole;
+
+    "Prophetic schemes,
+    And golden dreams,
+  May I, unsanguine, cast away!
+    Have, what I have!
+    And live, not leave,
+  Enamour'd of the present day!
+
+    "My hours my own!
+    My faults unknown!
+  My chief revenue in content!
+    Then, leave one beam
+    Of honest fame!
+  And scorn the labour'd monument!
+
+    "Unhurt my urn!
+    Till that great turn
+  When mighty nature's self shall die!
+    Time cease to glide,
+    With human pride,
+  Sunk in the ocean of eternity."
+
+
+
+
+
+               A PARAPHRASE ON PART OF THE BOOK OF JOB.(25)
+
+
+ To the Right Honourable Thomas Lord Parker, Baron of Macclesfield, Lord
+               High Chancellor of Great Britain, etc. etc.
+
+
+My Lord,
+
+Though I have not the honour of being known to your lordship, I presume to
+take a privilege which men of retirement are apt to think themselves in
+possession of, as being the only method they have of making their way to
+persons of your lordship's high station without struggling through
+multitudes for access. I may possibly fail in my respect to your lordship,
+even while I endeavour to show it most; but if I err, it is because I
+imagined I ought not to make my first approach to one of your lordship's
+exalted character with less ceremony than that of a dedication. It is
+annexed to the condition of eminent merit, not to suffer more from the
+malice of its enemies, than from the importunity of its admirers; and
+perhaps it would be unjust, that your lordship should hope to be exempted
+from the troubles, when you possess all the talents, of a patron.
+
+I have here a fair occasion to celebrate those sublime qualities, of which
+a whole nation is sensible, were it not inconsistent with the design of my
+present application. By the just discharge of your great employments, your
+lordship may well deserve the prayers of the distressed, the thanks of
+your country, and the approbation of your royal master: this indeed is a
+reason why every good Briton should applaud your lordship; but it is
+equally a reason why none should disturb you in the execution of your
+important affairs by works of fancy and amusement. I was therefore induced
+to make this address to your lordship, by considering you rather in the
+amiable light of a person distinguished for a refined taste of the polite
+arts, and the candour that usually attends it, than in the dignity of your
+public character.
+
+The greatness and solemnity of the subjects treated of in the following
+work cannot fail in some measure to recommend it to a person who holds in
+the utmost veneration those sacred books from which it is taken; and would
+at the same time justify to the world my choice of the great name prefixed
+to it, could I be assured that the undertaking had not suffered in my
+hands. Thus much I think myself obliged to say; that if this little
+performance had not been very indulgently spoken of by some, whose
+judgment is universally allowed in writings of this nature, I had not
+dared to gratify my ambition in offering it to your lordship: I am
+sensible that I am endeavouring to excuse one vanity by another; but I
+hope I shall meet with pardon for it, since it is visibly intended to show
+the great submission and respect with which I am, my lord, your lordship's
+most obedient and most humble servant,
+
+                                                             EDWARD YOUNG.
+
+  Thrice happy Job(26) long liv'd in regal state,
+  Nor saw the sumptuous East a prince so great;
+  Whose worldly stores in such abundance flow'd,
+  Whose heart with such exalted virtue glow'd.
+  At length misfortunes take their turn to reign,
+  And ills on ills succeed; a dreadful train!
+  What now but deaths, and poverty, and wrong,
+  The sword wide-wasting, the reproachful tongue,
+  And spotted plagues, that mark'd his limbs all o'er
+  So thick with pains, they wanted room for more?
+  A change so sad what mortal heart could bear?
+  Exhausted woe had left him nought to fear;
+  But gave him all to grief. Low earth he prest,
+  Wept in the dust, and sorely smote his breast.
+  His friends around the deep affliction mourn'd,
+  Felt all his pangs, and groan for groan return'd;
+  In anguish of their hearts their mantles rent,
+  And seven long days in solemn silence spent;
+  A debt of rev'rence to distress so great!
+  Then Job contain'd no more; but cursed his fate.
+  His day of birth, its inauspicious light
+  He wishes sunk in shades of endless night,
+  And blotted from the year; nor fears to crave
+  Death, instant death; impatient for the grave,
+  That seat of bliss, that mansion of repose,
+  Where rest and mortals are no longer foes;
+  Where counsellors are hush'd, and mighty kings
+  (O happy turn!) no more are wretched things.
+    His words were daring, and displeas'd his friends;
+  His conduct they reprove, and he defends;
+  And now they kindled into warm debate,
+  And sentiments oppos'd with equal heat;
+  Fix'd in opinion, both refuse to yield,
+  And summon all their reason to the field:
+  So high at length their arguments were wrought,
+  They reach'd the last extent of human thought:
+  A pause ensu'd.--When, lo! Heaven interpos'd,
+  And awfully the long contention clos'd.
+  Full o'er their heads, with terrible surprise,
+  A sudden whirlwind blacken'd all the skies:
+  (They saw, and trembled!(27)) From the darkness broke
+  A dreadful voice, and thus th' Almighty spoke.
+    Who gives his tongue a loose so bold and vain,
+  Censures my conduct, and reproves my reign?
+  Lifts up his thoughts against me from the dust,
+  And tells the world's Creator what is just?
+  Of late so brave, now lift a dauntless eye,
+  Face my demand, and give it a reply:
+  Where didst thou dwell at nature's early birth?
+  Who laid foundations for the spacious earth?
+  Who on its surface did extend the line,
+  Its form determine, and its bulk confine?
+  Who fix'd the corner-stone? What hand, declare,
+  Hung it on nought, and fasten'd it on air;
+  When the bright morning stars in concert sung,
+  When heaven's high arch with loud hosannas rung;
+  When shouting sons of God the triumph crown'd,
+  And the wide concave thunder'd with the sound?
+  Earth's num'rous kingdoms, hast thou view'd them all?
+  And can thy span of knowledge grasp the ball?
+  Who heav'd the mountain, which sublimely stands,
+  And casts its shadow into distant lands?
+    Who, stretching forth his sceptre o'er the deep,
+  Can that wide world in due subjection keep?
+  I broke the globe, I scoop'd its hollow'd side,
+  And did a bason for the floods provide;
+  I chain'd them with my word; the boiling sea,
+  Work'd up in tempests, hears my great decree;
+  "(28)Thus far, thy floating tide shall be convey'd;
+  And here, O main, be thy proud billows stay'd."
+  Hast thou explor'd the secrets of the deep,
+  Where, shut from use, unnumber'd treasures sleep?
+  Where, down a thousand fathoms from the day,
+  Springs the great fountain, mother of the sea?
+  Those gloomy paths did thy bold foot e'er tread,
+  Whole worlds of waters rolling o'er thy head?
+    Hath the cleft centre open'd wide to thee?
+  Death's inmost chambers didst thou ever see?
+  E'er knock at his tremendous gate, and wade
+  To the black portal through th' incumbent shade?
+  Deep are those shades; but shades still deeper hide
+  My counsels from the ken of human pride.
+    Where dwells the light? In what refulgent dome?
+  And where has darkness made her dismal home?
+  Thou know'st, no doubt, since thy large heart is fraught
+  With ripen'd wisdom, through long ages brought;
+  Since nature was call'd forth when thou wast by,
+  And into being rose beneath thine eye!
+    Are mists begotten? Who their father knew?
+  From whom descend the pearly drops of dew?
+  To bind the stream by night, what hand can boast,
+  Or whiten morning with the hoary frost?
+  Whose powerful breath, from northern regions blown,
+  Touches the sea, and turns it into stone?
+  The like spirit in these two passages is no bad concurrent
+  argument, that Moses is author of the book of Job.]
+  A sudden desart spreads o'er realms defac'd,
+  And lays one half of the creation waste?
+    Thou know'st me not; thy blindness cannot see
+  How vast a distance parts thy God from thee.
+  Canst thou in whirlwinds mount aloft? Canst thou
+  In clouds and darkness wrap thy awful brow?
+  And, when day triumphs in meridian light,
+  Put forth thy hand, and shade the world with night?
+    Who launch'd the clouds in air, and bid them roll
+  Suspended seas aloft, from pole to pole?
+  Who can refresh the burning sandy plain,
+  And quench the summer with a waste of rain?
+  Who, in rough desarts, far from human toil,
+  Made rocks bring forth, and desolation smile?
+  There blooms the rose, where human face ne'er shone,
+  And spreads its beauties to the sun alone.
+    To check the shower, who lifts his hand on high,
+  And shuts the sluices of th' exhausted sky
+  When earth no longer mourns her gaping veins,
+  Her naked mountains, and her russet plains;
+  But, new in life, a cheerful prospect yields
+  Of shining rivers, and of verdant fields;
+  When groves and forests lavish all their bloom,
+  And earth and heaven are fill'd with rich perfume?
+    Hast thou e'er scal'd my wintry skies, and seen
+  Of hail and snows my northern magazine?
+  These the dread treasures of mine anger are,
+  My funds of vengeance for the day of war,
+  When clouds rain death, and storms, at my command,
+  Rage through the world, or waste a guilty land.
+    Who taught the rapid winds to fly so fast,
+  Or shakes the centre with his eastern blast?
+  Who from the skies can a whole deluge pour?
+  Who strikes through nature with the solemn roar
+  Of dreadful thunder, points it where to fall,
+  And in fierce lightning wraps the flying ball?
+  Not he who trembles at the darted fires,
+  Falls at the sound, and in the flash expires.
+    Who drew the comet out to such a size,
+  And pour'd his flaming train o'er half the skies?
+  Did thy resentment hang him out? Does he
+  Glare on the nations, and denounce, from thee?
+    Who on low earth can moderate the rein,
+  That guides the stars along th' ethereal plain?
+  Appoint their seasons, and direct their course,
+  Their lustre brighten, and supply their force?
+  Canst thou the skies' benevolence restrain,
+  And cause the Pleiades to shine in vain?
+  Or, when Orion sparkles from his sphere,
+  Thaw the cold season, and unbind the year?
+  Bid Mazzaroth his destin'd station know,
+  And teach the bright Arcturus where to glow?
+  Mine is the night, with all her stars; I pour
+  Myriads, and myriads I reserve in store.
+    Dost thou pronounce where day-light shall be born,
+  And draw the purple curtain of the morn;
+  Awake the sun, and bid him come away,
+  And glad thy world with his obsequious ray?
+  Hast thou, inthron'd in flaming glory, driven
+  Triumphant round the spacious ring of heaven?
+  That pomp of light, what hand so far displays,
+  That distant earth lies basking in the blaze?
+    Who did the soul with her rich powers invest,
+  And light up reason in the human breast?
+  To shine, with fresh increase of lustre, bright,
+  When stars and sun are set in endless night?
+  To these my various questions make reply.
+  Th' Almighty spoke; and, speaking, shook the sky.
+    What then, Chald�an sire, was thy surprise!
+  Thus thou, with trembling heart, and downcast eyes:
+  "Once and again, which I in groans deplore,
+  My tongue has err'd; but shall presume no more.
+  My voice is in eternal silence bound,
+  And all my soul falls prostrate to the ground."
+    He ceas'd: when, lo! again th' Almighty spoke;
+  The same dread voice from the black whirlwind broke.
+    Can that arm measure with an arm divine?
+  And canst thou thunder with a voice like mine?
+  Or in the hollow of thy hand contain
+  The bulk of waters, the wide-spreading main,
+  When, mad with tempests, all the billows rise
+  In all their rage, and dash the distant skies?
+    Come forth, in beauty's excellence array'd;
+  And be the grandeur of thy power display'd;
+  Put on omnipotence, and, frowning, make
+  The spacious round of the creation shake;
+  Dispatch thy vengeance, bid it overthow
+  Triumphant vice, lay lofty tyrants low,
+  And crumble them to dust. When this is done,
+  I grant thy safety lodg'd in thee alone;
+  Of thee thou art, and mayst undaunted stand
+  Behind the buckler of thine own right hand.
+    Fond man! the vision of a moment made!
+  Dream of a dream! and shadow of a shade!
+  What worlds hast thou produc'd, what creatures fram'd,
+  What insects cherish'd, that thy God is blam'd?
+  When (29)pain'd with hunger, the wild raven's brood
+  Loud calls on God, importunate for food,
+  Who hears their cry, who grants their hoarse request,
+  And stills the clamour of the craving nest?
+    Who in the stupid ostrich(30) has subdu'd
+  A parent's care, and fond inquietude?
+  While far she flies, her scatter'd eggs are found,
+  Without an owner, on the sandy ground;
+  Cast out on fortune, they at mercy lie,
+  And borrow life from an indulgent sky;
+  Adopted by the sun, in blaze of day,
+  They ripen under his prolific ray.
+  Unmindful she, that some unhappy tread
+  May crush her young in their neglected bed.
+  (31)What time she skims along the field with speed,
+  (32)She scorns the rider, and pursuing steed.
+  How rich the peacock!(33) what bright glories run
+  From plume to plume, and vary in the sun!
+  He proudly spreads them, to the golden ray
+  Gives all his colours, and adorns the day;
+  With conscious state the specious round displays,
+  And slowly moves amid the waving blaze.
+    Who taught the hawk to find, in seasons wise,
+  Perpetual summer, and a change of skies?
+  When clouds deform the year, she mounts the wind,
+  Shoots to the south, nor fears the storm behind;
+  The sun returning, she returns again,
+  Lives in his beams, and leaves ill days to men.
+    Tho' strong the hawk,(34) tho' practis'd well to fly,
+  An eagle drops her in a lower sky;
+  An eagle, when, deserting human sight,
+  She seeks the sun in her unwearied flight:
+  Did thy command her yellow pinion lift
+  So high in air, and set her on the clift,
+  Where far above thy world she dwells alone,
+  And proudly makes the strength of rocks her own;
+  (35)Thence wide o'er nature takes her dread survey,
+  And with a glance predestinates her prey?
+  She feasts her young with blood; and, hov'ring o'er
+  Th' unslaughter'd host, enjoys the promis'd gore.
+    (36)Know'st thou how many moons, by me assign'd,
+  Roll o'er the mountain goat, and forest hind,
+  While pregnant they a mother's load sustain?
+  They bend in anguish, and cast forth their pain.
+  Hale are their young, from human frailties freed;
+  Walk unsustain'd, and unassisted feed;
+  They live at once; forsake the dam's warm side;
+  Take the wide world, with nature for their guide;
+  Bound o'er the lawn, or seek the distant glade;
+  And find a home in each delightful shade.
+    Will the tall reem, which knows no lord but me,
+  Low at the crib, and ask an alms of thee;
+  Submit his unworn shoulder to the yoke,
+  Break the stiff clod, and o'er thy furrow smoke?
+  Since great his strength, go trust him, void of care;
+  Lay on his neck the toil of all the year;
+  Bid him bring home the seasons to thy doors,
+  And cast his load among thy gather'd stores.
+    Didst thou from service the wild ass discharge,
+  And break his bonds, and bid him live at large,
+  Through the wide waste, his ample mansion, roam,
+  And lose himself in his unbounded home?
+  By nature's hand magnificently fed,
+  His meal is on the range of mountains spread;
+  As in pure air aloft he bounds along,
+  He sees in distant smoke the city throng;
+  Conscious of freedom, scorns the smother'd train,
+  The threat'ning driver, and the servile rein.
+    Survey the warlike horse! didst thou invest
+  With thunder his robust distended chest?
+  No sense of fear his dauntless soul allays;
+  'Tis dreadful to behold his nostrils blaze;
+  To paw the vale he proudly takes delight,
+  And triumphs in the fulness of his might;
+  High rais'd he snuffs the battle from afar,
+  And burns to plunge amid the raging war;
+  And mocks at death, and throws his foam around,
+  And in a storm of fury shakes the ground.
+  How does his firm, his rising heart, advance
+  Full on the brandish'd sword, and shaken lance;
+  While his fix'd eyeballs meet the dazzling shield,
+  Gaze, and return the lightning of the field!
+  He sinks the sense of pain in gen'rous pride,
+  Nor feels the shaft that trembles in his side;
+  But neighs to the shrill trumpet's dreadful blast
+  Till death; and when he groans, he groans his last.
+    But, fiercer still, the lordly lion stalks,
+  Grimly majestic in his lonely walks;
+  When round he glares, all living creatures fly;
+  He clears the desart with his rolling eye.
+  Say, mortal, does he rouse at thy command,
+  And roar to thee, and live upon thy hand?
+  Dost thou for him in forests bend thy bow,
+  And to his gloomy den the morsel throw,
+  Where bent on death lie hid his tawny brood,
+  And, couch'd in dreadful ambush, pant for blood;
+  Or, stretch'd on broken limbs, consume the day,
+  In darkness wrapt, and slumber o'er their prey?
+  (37)By the pale moon they take their destin'd round,
+  And lash their sides, and furious tear the ground.
+  Now shrieks, and dying groans, the desart fill;
+  They rage, they rend; their rav'nous jaws distill
+  With crimson foam; and, when the banquet's o'er,
+  They stride away, and paint their steps with gore;
+  In flight alone the shepherd puts his trust,
+  And shudders at the talon in the dust.
+    Mild is my behemoth, though large his frame;
+  Smooth is his temper, and represt his flame,
+  While unprovok'd. This native of the flood
+  Lifts his broad foot, and puts ashore for food;
+  Earth sinks beneath him, as he moves along
+  To seek the herbs, and mingle with the throng.
+  See with what strength his harden'd loins are bound,
+  All over proof and shut against a wound.
+  How like a mountain cedar moves his tail!
+  Nor can his complicated sinews fail.
+  Built high and wide, his solid bones surpass
+  The bars of steel; his ribs are ribs of brass;
+  His port majestic, and his armed jaw,
+  Give the wide forest, and the mountain, law.
+  The mountains feed him; there the beasts admire
+  The mighty stranger, and in dread retire:
+  At length his greatness nearer they survey,
+  Graze in his shadow, and his eye obey.
+  The fens and marshes are his cool retreat,
+  His noontide shelter from the burning heat;
+  Their sedgy bosoms his wide couch are made,
+  And groves of willows give him all their shade.
+    His eye drinks Jordan up, when, fir'd with drought,
+  He trusts to turn its current down his throat;
+  In lessen'd waves it creeps along the plain:
+  (38)He sinks a river, and he thirsts again.
+  (39)Go to the Nile, and, from its fruitful side,
+  Cast forth thy line into the swelling tide:
+  With slender hair leviathan command,
+  And stretch his vastness on the loaded strand.
+  Will he become thy servant? Will he own
+  Thy lordly nod, and tremble at thy frown?
+  Or with his sport amuse thy leisure day,
+  And, bound in silk, with thy soft maidens play?
+    Shall pompous banquets swell with such a prize?
+  And the bowl journey round his ample size?
+  Or the debating merchants share the prey,
+  And various limbs to various marts convey?
+  Thro' his firm skull what steel its way can win?
+  What forceful engine can subdue his skin?
+  Fly far, and live; tempt not his matchless might:
+  The bravest shrink to cowards in his sight;
+  (40)The rashest dare not rouse him up: Who then
+  Shall turn on me, among the sons of men?
+    Am I a debtor? Hast thou ever heard
+  Whence come the gifts that are on me conferr'd?
+  My lavish fruit a thousand valleys fills,
+  And mine the herds, that graze a thousand hills:
+  Earth, sea, and air, all nature is my own;
+  And stars and sun are dust beneath my throne.
+  And dar'st thou with the world's great Father vie,
+  Thou, who dost tremble at my creature's eye?
+    At full my huge leviathan shall rise,
+  Boast all his strength, and spread his wondrous size.
+  Who, great in arms, e'er stripp'd his shining mail,
+  Or crown'd his triumph with a single scale?
+  Whose heart sustains him to draw near? (41)Behold,
+  Destruction yawns; his spacious jaws unfold,
+  And, marshall'd round the wide expanse, disclose
+  Teeth edg'd with death, and crowding rows on rows:
+  What hideous fangs on either side arise!
+  And what a deep abyss between them lies!
+  Mete with thy lance, and with thy plummet sound,
+  The one how long, the other how profound.
+    His bulk is charg'd with such a furious soul,
+  That clouds of smoke from his spread nostrils roll,
+  As from a furnace; and, when rous'd his ire,
+  (42)Fate issues from his jaws in streams of fire.
+  The rage of tempests, and the roar of seas,
+  Thy terror, this thy great superior please;
+  Strength on his ample shoulder sits in state;
+  His well-join'd limbs are dreadfully complete;
+  His flakes of solid flesh are slow to part;
+  As steel his nerves, as adamant his heart.
+    When, late awak'd, he rears him from the floods,
+  And, stretching forth his stature to the clouds,
+  Writhes in the sun aloft his scaly height,
+  And strikes the distant hills with transient light,
+  Far round are fatal damps of terror spread,
+  The mighty fear, nor blush to own their dread.
+    (43)Large is his front; and, when his burnish'd eyes
+  Lift their broad lids, the morning seems to rise.
+  In vain may death in various shapes invade,
+  The swift-wing'd arrow, the descending blade;
+  His naked breast their impotence defies;
+  The dart rebounds, the brittle fauchion flies.
+  Shut in himself, the war without he hears,
+  Safe in the tempest of their rattling spears;
+  The cumber'd strand their wasted volleys strow;
+  His sport, the rage and labour of the foe.
+    His pastimes like a cauldron boil the flood,
+  And blacken ocean with the rising mud;
+  The billows feel him, as he works his way;
+  His hoary footsteps shine along the sea;
+  The foam high-wrought, with white divides the green,
+  And distant sailors point where death has been.
+    His like earth bears not on her spacious face:
+  Alone in nature stands his dauntless race,
+  For utter ignorance of fear renown'd,
+  In wrath he rolls his baleful eye around:
+  Makes every swoln, disdainful heart, subside,
+  And holds dominion o'er the sons of pride.
+    Then the Chald�an eas'd his lab'ring breast,
+  With full conviction of his crime opprest.
+    "Thou canst accomplish all things, Lord of might:
+  And every thought is naked to thy sight.
+  But, oh! thy ways are wonderful, and lie
+  Beyond the deepest reach of mortal eye.
+  Oft have I heard of thine Almighty power;
+  But never saw thee till this dreadful hour.
+  O'erwhelm'd with shame, the Lord of life I see,
+  Abhor myself, and give my soul to thee.
+  Nor shall my weakness tempt thine anger more:
+  Man is not made to question, but adore."

+                              Naturally.(44)
+
+
+  Whilst his Redeemer on his canvass dies,
+  Stabb'd at his feet his brother weltering lies:
+  The daring artist, cruelly serene,
+  Views the pale cheek and the distorted mien;
+  He drains off life by drops, and, deaf to cries,
+  Examines every spirit as it flies:
+  He studies torment, dives in mortal woe,
+  To rouse up every pang repeats his blow;
+  Each rising agony, each dreadful grace,
+  Yet warm transplanting to his Saviour's face.
+  Oh glorious theft! oh nobly wicked draught!
+  With its full charge of death each feature fraught,
+  Such wondrous force the magic colours boast,
+  From his own skill he starts in horror lost.

+
+                         On the Tragedy of Cato.
+
+
+  What do we see? Is Cato then become
+  A greater name in Britain than in Rome?
+  Does mankind now admire his virtues more,
+  Though Lucan, Horace, Virgil, wrote before?
+  How will posterity this truth explain?
+  "Cato begins to live in Anna's reign."
+  The world's great chiefs, in council or in arms,
+  Rise in your lines with more exalted charms;
+  Illustrious deeds in distant nations wrought,
+  And virtues by departed heroes taught,
+  Raise in your soul a pure immortal flame,
+  Adorn your life, and consecrate your fame;
+  To your renown all ages you subdue,
+  And C�sar fought, and Cato bled for you.

+                   HISTORICAL EPILOGUE TO THE BROTHERS.
+
+
+                                A Tragedy.
+
+
+  An Epilogue, through custom, is your right,
+  But ne'er perhaps was needful till this night:
+  To-night the virtuous falls, the guilty flies,
+  Guilt's dreadful close our narrow scene denies.
+  In history's authentic record read
+  What ample vengeance gluts Demetrius' shade;
+  Vengeance so great, that, when his tale is told,
+  With pity some e'en Perseus may behold.
+    Perseus surviv'd, indeed, and fill'd the throne,
+  But ceaseless cares in conquest made him groan:
+  Nor reign'd he long; from Rome swift thunder flew,
+  And headlong from his throne the tyrant threw:
+  Thrown headlong down, by Rome in triumph led,
+  For this night's deed his perjur'd bosom bled:
+  His brother's ghost each moment made him start,
+  And all his father's anguish rent his heart.
+    When, rob'd in black, his children round him hung,
+  And their rais'd arms in early sorrow wrung;
+  The younger smil'd, unconscious of their woe;
+  At which thy tears, O Rome! began to flow;
+  So sad the scene! What then must Perseus feel,
+  To see Jove's race attend the victor's wheel:
+  To see the slaves of his worst foes increase,
+  From such a source!--An emperor's embrace!
+  He sicken'd soon to death; and, what is worse,
+  He well deserv'd, and felt, the coward's curse;
+  Unpitied, scorn'd, insulted his last hour,
+  Far, far from home, and in a vassal's power:
+  His pale cheek rested on his shameful chain,
+  No friend to mourn, no flatterer to feign;
+  No suit retards, no comfort soothes his doom,
+  And not one tear bedews a monarch's tomb.
+  Nor ends it thus--dire vengeance to complete,
+  His ancient empire falling shares his fate:
+  His throne forgot! his weeping country chain'd!
+  And nations ask--where Alexander reign'd.
+  As public woes a prince's crime pursue,
+  So public blessings are his virtue's due.
+  Shout, Britons, shout--auspicious fortune bless!
+  And cry, Long live--Our title to success!

+
+
+        On Lord Aubrey Beauclerk(45), in Westminster Abbey, 1740.
+
+
+  Whilst Britain boasts her empire o'er the deep,
+  This marble shall compel the brave to weep:
+  As men, as Britons, and as soldiers, mourn;
+  'Tis dauntless, loyal, virtuous Beauclerk's urn.
+  Sweet were his manners, as his soul was great,
+  And ripe his worth, though immature his fate;
+  Each tender grace that joy and love inspires,
+  Living, he mingled with his martial fires:
+  Dying, he bid Britannia's thunders roar;
+  And Spain still felt him, when he breath'd no more.

+
+
+        If fond of what is rare, attend!
+            Here lies an honest man,
+                Of perfect piety,
+              Of lamblike patience,
+            My friend, James Barker;
+        To whom I pay this mean memorial,
+        For what deserves the greatest.
+                  An example
+  Which shone through all the clouds of fortune,
+            Industrious in low estate,
+    The lesson and reproach of those above him.
+              To lay this little stone
+                Is my ambition;
+                While others rear
+  The polish'd marbles of the great!
+            Vain pomp;
+  A turf o'er virtue charms us more.

+
+
+
+                         A LETTER TO MR. TICKELL,
+
+
+  Occasioned by the Death of the Right Hon. Joseph Addison, Esq., 1719.
+
+
+      --Tu nunc eris alter ab illo.
+
+                                                                --VIRG.
+
+
+  O long with me in Oxford groves confin'd,
+  In social arts and sacred friendship join'd;
+  Fair Isis' sorrow, and fair Isis' boast,
+  Lost from her side, but fortunately lost;
+  Thy wonted aid, my dear companion! bring,
+  And teach me thy departed friend to sing:
+  A darling theme! once powerful to inspire,
+  And now to melt, the muses' mournful choir:
+  Now, and now first, we freely dare commend
+  His modest worth, nor shall our praise offend.
+
+  Early he bloom'd amid the learned train,
+  And ravish'd Isis listen'd to his strain.
+  "See, see," she cried, "old Maro's muse appears,
+  Wak'd from her slumber of two thousand years:
+  Her finish'd charms to Addison she brings,
+  Thinks in his thought, and in his numbers sings.
+  All read transported his pure classic page;
+  Read, and forget their climate and their age."
+    The state, when now his rising fame was known,
+  Th' unrival'd genius challeng'd for her own,
+  Nor would that one, for scenes for action strong,
+  Should let a life evaporate in song.
+  As health and strength the brightest charms dispense,
+  Wit is the blossom of the soundest sense:
+  Yet few, how few, with lofty thoughts inspir'd,
+  With quickness pointed, and with rapture fir'd,
+  In conscious pride their own importance find,
+  Blind to themselves, as the hard world is blind!
+  Wit they esteem a gay but worthless power,
+  The slight amusement of a leisure hour;
+  Unmindful that, conceal'd from vulgar eyes,
+  Majestic wisdom wears the bright disguise.
+    Poor Dido fondled thus, with idle joy,
+  Dread Cupid, lurking in the Trojan boy;
+  Lightly she toy'd, and trifled with his charms,
+  And knew not that a god was in her arms.
+    Who greatest excellence of thought could boast,
+  In action, too, have been distinguish'd most:
+  This Sommers(46) knew, and Addison sent forth
+  From the malignant regions of the north,
+  To be matur'd in more indulgent skies,
+  Where all the vigour of the soul can rise;
+  Thro' warmer veins where sprightlier spirits run,
+  And sense enliven'd sparkles in the sun.
+  With secret pain the prudent patriot gave
+  The hopes of Britain to the rolling wave,
+  Anxious, the charge to all the stars resign'd,
+  And plac'd a confidence in sea and wind.
+    Ausonia soon receiv'd her wondering guest,
+  And equal wonder in her turn confess'd,
+  To see her fervours rival'd by the pole,
+  Her lustre beaming from a northern soul:
+  In like surprise was her �neas lost,
+  To find his picture grace a foreign coast.
+    Now the wide field of Europe he surveys,
+  Compares her kings, her thrones and empires weighs,
+  In ripen'd judgment and consummate thought;
+  Great work! by Nassau's favour cheaply bought.
+    He now returns to Britain a support,
+  Wise in her senate, graceful in her court;
+  And when the public welfare would permit,
+  The source of learning, and the soul of wit.
+  O Warwick! (whom the muse is fond to name,
+  And kindles, conscious of her future theme,)
+  O Warwick! by divine contagion bright!
+  How early didst thou catch his radiant light!
+  By him inspir'd, how shine before thy time,
+  And leave thy years, and leap into thy prime!
+    On some warm bank, thus, fortunately born,
+  A rose-bud opens to a summer's morn,
+  Full-blown ere noon her fragrant pride displays,
+  And shows th' abundance of her purple rays.
+  Wit, as her bays, was once a barren tree;
+  We now, surpris'd, her fruitful branches see;
+  Or, orange-like, till his auspicious time
+  It grew indeed, but shiver'd in our clime:
+  He first the plant to richer gardens led,
+  And fix'd, indulgent, in a warmer bed:
+  The nation, pleas'd, enjoys the rich produce,
+  And gathers from her ornament her use.
+    When loose from public cares the grove he sought,
+  And fill'd the leisure interval with thought,
+  The various labours of his easy page,
+  A chance amusement, polish'd half an age.
+  Beyond this truth old bards could scarce invent,
+  Who durst to frame a world by accident.
+    What he has sung, how early and how well,
+  The Thames shall boast, and Roman Tiber tell.
+  A glory more sublime remains in store,
+  Since such his talents, that he sung no more.
+    No fuller proof of power th' Almighty gave,
+  Making the sea, than curbing her proud wave.
+    Nought can the genius of his works transcend,
+  But their fair purpose and important end;
+  To rouse the war for injur'd Europe's laws,
+  To steel the patriot in great Brunswick's cause;
+  With virtue's charms to kindle sacred love,
+  Or paint th' eternal bowers of bliss above.
+  Where hadst thou room, great author! where to roll
+  The mighty theme of an immortal soul?
+  Through paths unknown, unbeaten, whence were brought
+  Thy proofs so strong for immaterial thought?
+  One let me join, all other may excel.
+  "How could a mortal essence think so well?"
+    But why so large in the great writer's praise?
+  More lofty subjects should my numbers raise;
+  In him (illustrious rivalry!) contend
+  The statesman, patriot, Christian, and the friend!
+  His glory such, it borders on disgrace
+  To say he sung the best of human race.
+    In joy once join'd, in sorrow now for years,
+  Partner in grief, and brother of my tears,
+  Tickell! accept this verse, thy mournful due;
+  Thou further shalt the sacred theme pursue;
+  And, as thy strain describes the matchless man,
+  Thy life shall second what thy muse began.
+  Though sweet the numbers, though a fire divine
+  Dart through the whole, and burn in every line,
+  Who strives not for that excellence he draws,
+  Is stain'd by fame, and suffers from applause.
+    But haste to thy illustrious task; prepare
+  The noble work well trusted to thy care,
+  The gift(47) bequeath'd by Addison's command,
+  To Craggs made sacred by his dying hand.
+  Collect the labours, join the various rays,
+  The scatter'd light in one united blaze;
+  Then bear to him so true, so truly lov'd,
+  In life distinguished, and in death approv'd,
+  Th' immortal legacy. He hangs awhile
+  In generous anguish o'er the glorious pile;
+  With anxious pleasure the known page reviews,
+  And the dear pledge with falling tears bedews.
+  What though thy tears, pour'd o'er thy godlike friend,
+  Thy other cares for Britain's weal suspend?
+  Think not, O patriot! while thy eyes o'erflow,
+  Those cares suspended for a private woe;
+  Thy love to him is to thy country shown;
+  He mourns for her who mourns for Addison.
+

+
+
+            REFLECTIONS ON THE PUBLIC SITUATION OF THE KINGDOM
+
+
+                   Inscribed to the Duke of Newcastle.
+
+
+  Holles! immortal in far more than fame!
+  Be thou illustrious in far more than power.
+  Great things are small when greater rise to view
+  Tho' station'd high, and press'd with public cares,
+  Disdain not to peruse my serious song,
+  Which peradventure may push by the world:
+  Of a few moments rob Britannia's weal,
+  And leave Europa's counsels less mature!
+  For thou art noble, and the theme is great.
+    Nor shall or Europe or Britannia blame
+  Thine absent ear, but gain by the delay.
+  Long vers'd in senates and in cabinets,
+  States' intricate demands and high debates!
+  As thou of use to those, so this to thee;
+  And in a point that empire far outweighs,
+  That far outweighs all Europe's thrones in one.
+  Let greatness prove its title to be great.
+  'Tis power's supreme prerogative to stamp
+  On other minds an image of its own.
+  Bend the strong influence of high place, to stem
+  The stream that sweeps away the country's weal;
+  The Stygian stream, the torrent of our guilt.
+  Far as thou mayst give life to virtue's cause;
+  Let not the ties of personal regard
+  Betray the nation's trust to feeble hands:
+  Let not fomented flames of private pique
+  Prey on the vitals of the public good:
+  Let not our streets with blasphemies resound,
+  Nor lewdness whisper where the laws can reach:
+  Let not best laws, the wisdom of our sires,
+  Turn satires on their sunk degenerate sons,
+  The bastards of their blood! and serve no point
+  But with more emphasis to call them fools:
+  Let not our rank enormities unhinge
+  Britannia's welfare from divine support.
+    Such deeds the minister, the prince adorn;
+  No power is shown but in such deeds as these:
+  All, all is impotence but acting right;
+  And where's the statesman but would show his power?
+  To prince and people thou, of equal zeal!
+  Be it henceforward but thy second care
+  To grace thy country, and support the throne;
+  Though this supported, that adorn'd so well,
+  A throne superior our first homage claims;
+  To C�sar's C�sar our first tribute due:
+  A tribute which, unpaid, makes specious wrong
+  And splendid sacrilege of all beside:
+  Illustrious followers; we must first be just;
+  And what so just as awe for the supreme?
+  Less fear we rugged ruffians of the north,
+  Than virtue's well-clad rebels nearer home
+  Less Loyola's disguis'd, all-aping sons,
+  Than traitors lurking in our appetites;
+  Less all the legions Seine and Tagus send,
+  Than unrein'd passions rushing on our peace:
+  Yon savage mountaineers are tame to these.
+  Against those rioters send forth the laws,
+  And break to reason's yoke their wild careers.
+    Prudence for all things points the proper hour,
+  Though some seem more importunate and great.
+  Tho' Britain's generous views and interests spread
+  Beyond the narrow circle of her shores,
+  And their grand entries make on distant lands;
+  Though Britain's genius the wide wave bestrides,
+  And, like a vast Colossus, towering stands
+  With one foot planted on the continent;
+  Yet be not wholly wrapp'd in public cares,
+  Tho' such high cares should call as call'd of late;
+  The cause of kings and emperors adjourn,
+  And Europe's little balance drop awhile;
+  For greater drop it: ponder and adjust
+  The rival interests and contending claims
+  Of life and death, of now and of for-ever;
+  Sublimest theme; and needful as sublime.
+  Thus great Eliza's oracles renown'd,
+  Thus Walsingham and Raleigh, (Britain's boasts!)
+  Thus every statesman thought that ever--died.
+  There's inspiration in a sable hour,
+  And Death's approach makes politicians wise.
+    When thunderstruck, that eagle Wolsey fell;
+  When royal favour, as an ebbing sea,
+  Like a leviathan, his grandeur left,
+  His gasping grandeur! naked on the strand,
+  Naked of human, doubtful of divine,
+  Assistance; no more wallowing in his wealth,
+  Spouting proud foams of insolence no more,
+  On what, then, smote his heart, uncardinal'd,
+  And sunk beneath the level of a man!
+  On the grand article, the sum of things!
+  The point of the first magnitude! that point
+  Tubes mounted in a court, but rarely reach;
+  Some painted cloud still intercepts their sight.
+  First right to judge; then choose; then persevere,
+  Steadfast, as if a crown or mistress call'd.--
+  These, these are politics will stand the test,
+  When finer politics their masters sting,
+  And statesmen fain would shrink to common men.
+  These, these are politics will answer now,
+  (When common men would fain to statesmen swell,)
+  Beyond a Machiavel's or Tencin's scheme.
+  All safety rests on honest counsels: these
+  Immortalize the statesman, bless the state,
+  Make the prince triumph, and the people smile;
+  In peace rever'd, or terrible in arms,
+  Close-leagued with an invincible ally,
+  Which honest counsels never fail to fix
+  In favour of an unabandon'd land;
+  A land--that starts at such a land as this,
+  A parliament, so principled, will sink
+  All ancient schools of empire in disgrace,
+  And Britain's glory, rising from the dead,
+  Will fill the world, loud fame's superior song.
+Britain!--that word pronounc'd is an alarm;
+  It warms the blood, though frozen in our veins;
+  Awakes the soul, and sends her to the field,
+  Enamour'd of the glorious face of Death.
+  Britain!--there's noble magic in the sound.
+  O what illustrious images arise!
+  Embattled, round me, blaze the pomps of war!
+  By sea, by land, at home, in foreign climes,
+  What full-blown laurels on our fathers' brows!
+  Ye radiant trophies! and imperial spoils!
+  Ye scenes!--astonishing to modern sight!
+  Let me, at least, enjoy you in a dream.
+  Why vanish? Stay, ye godlike strangers! stay:
+  Strangers!--I wrong my countrymen: they wake;
+  High beats the pulse: the noble pulse of war
+  Beats to that ancient measure, that grand march
+  Which then prevail'd, when Britain highest soar'd,
+  And every battle paid for heroes slain.
+  No more our great forefathers stain our cheeks
+  With blushes; their renown our shame no more.
+  In military garb, and sudden arms,
+  Up starts old Britain; crosiers are laid by;
+  Trade wields the sword, and agriculture leaves
+  Her half-turn'd furrow: other harvests fire
+  A nobler avarice, avarice of renown!
+  And laurels are the growth of every field.
+  In distant courts is our commotion felt;
+  And less like gods sit monarches on their thrones.
+  What arm can want or sinews or success,
+  Which, lifted from an honest heart, descends,
+  With all the weight of British wrath, to cleave
+  The papal mitre, or the Gallic chain,
+  At every stroke, and save a sinking land?
+    Or death or victory must be resolv'd;
+  To dream of mercy, O how tame! how mad!
+  Where, o'er black deeds the crucifix display'd,
+  Fools think Heaven purchas'd by the blood they shed;
+  By giving, not supporting, pains and death!
+  Nor simple death! where they the greatest saints
+  Who most subdue all tenderness of heart;
+  Students in torture! where, in zeal to him,
+  Whose darling title is the Prince of Peace,
+  The best turn ruthless butchers, for our sakes;
+  To save us in a world they recommend,
+  And yet forbear, themselves with earth content;
+  What modesty!--such virtues Rome adorn!
+  And chiefly those who Rome's first honours wear,
+  Whose name from Jesus, and whose hearts from hell!
+  And shall a pope-bred princeling crawl ashore,
+  Replete with venom, guiltless of a sting,
+  And whistle cut-throats, with those swords that scrap'd
+  Their barren rocks for wretched sustenance,
+  To cut his passage to the British throne?
+  One that has suck'd in malice with his milk,
+  Malice, to Britain, liberty, and truth?
+  Less savage was his brother-robber's nurse,
+  The howling nurse of plundering Romulus,
+  Ere yet far worse than pagan harbour'd there.
+    Hail to the brave! be Britain Britain still:
+  Britain! high favour'd of indulgent Heaven!
+  Nature's anointed empress of the deep!
+  The nurse of merchants, who can purchase crowns!
+  Supreme in commerce! that exuberant source
+  Of wealth, the nerve of war; of wealth, the blood,
+  The circling current in a nation's veins,
+  To set high bloom on the fair face of peace!
+  This once so celebrated seat of power,
+  From which escap'd the mighty C�sar triumph'd!
+  Of Gallic lilies this eternal blast!
+  This terror of armadas! this true bolt,
+  Ethereal-temper'd, to repress the vain
+  Salmonean thunders from the papal chair!
+  This small isle wide-realm'd monarchs eye with awe!
+  Which says to their ambition's foaming waves,
+  "Thus far, nor farther!"--Let her hold, in life,
+  Nought dear disjoin'd from freedom and renown;
+  Renown, our ancestors' great legacy,
+  To be transmitted to their latest sons.
+  By thoughts inglorious, and un-British deeds,
+  Their cancel'd will is impiously profan'd.
+  Inhumanly disturb'd their sacred dust.
+    Their sacred dust with recent laurels crown,
+  By your own valour won. This sacred isle,
+  Cut from the continent, that world of slaves;
+  This temple built by Heaven's peculiar care,
+  In a recess from the contagious world,
+  With ocean pour'd around it for its guard,
+  And dedicated, long, to liberty,
+  That health, that strength, that bloom, of civil life!
+  This temple of still more divine; of faith
+  Sifted from errors, purified by flames,
+  Like gold, to take anew truth's heavenly stamp,
+  And (rising both in lustre and in weight)
+  With her bless'd Master's unmaim'd image shine;
+  Why should she longer droop? why longer act
+  As an accomplice with the plots of Rome?
+  Why longer lend an edge to Bourbon's sword,
+  And give him leave, among his dastard troops,
+  To muster that strong succour, Albion's crimes?
+  Send his self-impotent ambition aid,
+  And crown the conquest of her fiercest foes?
+  Where are her foes most fatal? Blushing truth,
+  "In her friends' vices,"--with a sigh replies.
+  Empire on virtue's rock unshaken stands;
+  Flux as the billows, when in vice dissolv'd.
+  If Heaven reclaims us by the scourge of war,
+  What thanks are due to Paris and Madrid?
+  Would they a revolution?--Aid their aim,
+  But be the revolution--in our hearts!
+    Wouldst thou (whose hand is at the helm) the bark,
+  The shaken bark of Britain, should outride
+  The present blast, and every future storm?
+  Give it that ballast which alone has weight
+  With Him whom wind, and waves, and war, obey,
+  Persist. Are others subtle? Thou be wise:
+  Above the Florentine's court-science raise;
+  Stand forth a patriot of the moral world;
+  The pattern, and the patron, of the just:
+  Thus strengthen Britain's military strength;
+  Give its own terror to the sword she draws.
+  Ask you, "What mean I?"--The most obvious truth;
+  Armies and fleets alone ne'er won the day.
+  When our proud arms are once disarm'd, disarm'd
+  Of aid from Him by whom the mighty fall;
+  Of aid from Him by whom the feeble stand;
+  Who takes away the keenest edge of battle,
+  Or gives the sword commission to destroy;
+  Who blasts, or bids the martial laurel bloom--
+  Emasculated, then, most manly might;
+  Or, though the might remains, it nought avails:
+  Then wither'd weakness foils the sinewy arm
+  Of man's meridian and high-hearted power:
+  Our naval thunders, and our tented fields
+  With travel'd banners fanning southern climes,
+  What do they? This; and more what can they do?
+  When heap'd the measure of a kingdom's crimes,
+  The prince most dauntless, the first plume of war,
+  By such bold inroads into foreign lands,
+  Such elongation of our armaments,
+  But stretches out the guilty nation's neck,
+  While Heaven commands her executioner,
+  Some less abandon'd nation, to discharge
+  Her full-ripe vengeance in a final blow,
+  And tell the world, "Not strong is human strength;
+  And that the proudest empire holds of Heaven."
+    O Britain! often rescued, often crown'd,
+  Beyond thy merit and most sanguine hopes,
+  With all that's great in war, or sweet in peace!
+  Know from what source thy signal blessings flow.
+  Though bless'd with spirits ardent in the field,
+  Though cover'd various oceans with thy fleets,
+  Though fenc'd with rocks, and moated by the main,
+  Thy trust repose in a far stronger guard;
+  In Him, who thee, though naked, could defend;
+  Tho' weak, could strengthen; ruin'd, could restore.
+    How oft, to tell what arm defends thine isle,
+  To guard her welfare, and yet check her pride,
+  Have the winds snatch'd the victory from war?
+  Or, rather, won the day, when war despair'd?
+  How oft has providential succour aw'd,
+  Aw'd while it bless'd us, conscious of our guilt;
+  Struck dead all confidence in human aid,
+  And, while we triumph'd, made us tremble too!
+    Well may we tremble now; what manners reign?
+  But wherefore ask we, when a true reply
+  Would shock too much? Kind Heaven! avert events
+  Whose fatal nature might reply too plain!
+  Heaven's half-bar'd arm of vengeance has been wav'd
+  In northern skies, and pointed to the south.
+  Vengeance delay'd but gathers and ferments;
+  More formidably blackens in the wind;
+  Brews deeper draughts of unrelenting wrath,
+  And higher charges the suspended storm.
+    "That public vice portends a public fall"--
+  Is this conjecture of adventurous thought!
+  Or pious coward's pulpit cushion'd dream;
+  Far from it. This is certain; this is fate.
+  What says experience, in her awful chair
+  Of ages, her authentic annals spread
+  Around her? What says reason eagle-eyed?
+  Nay, what says common sense, with common care
+  Weighing events, and causes, in her scale?
+  All give one verdict, one decision sign;
+  And this the sentence Delphos could not mend:
+  "Whatever secondary props may rise
+  From politics, to build the public peace,
+  The basis is the manners of the land.
+  When rotten these, the politician's wiles
+  But struggle with destruction, as a child
+  With giants huge, or giants with a Jove.
+  The statesman's arts to conjure up a peace,
+  Or military phantoms void of force,
+  But scare away the vultures for an hour;
+  The scent cadaverous (for, oh! how rank
+  The stench of profligates!) soon lures them back
+  On the proud flutter of a Gallic wing
+  Soon they return; soon make their full descent;
+  Soon glut their rage, and riot in our ruin;
+  Their idols grac'd and gorgeous with our spoils,
+  Of universal empire sure presage!
+  Till now repell'd by seas of British blood."
+    And whence the manners of the multitude?
+  The colours of their manners, black or fair,
+  Falls from above; from the complexion falls
+  Of state Othellos, or white men in power:
+  And from the greater height example falls,
+  Greater the weight, and deeper its impress
+  In ranks inferior, passive to the stroke:
+  From the court-mint, of hearts the current coin,
+  The pupil presses, but the pattern drives.
+  What bonds then, bonds how manifold, and strong
+  To duty, double duty, are the great!
+  And are there Samsons that can burst them all?
+  Yes; and great minds that stand in need of none,
+  Whose pulse beats virtues, and whose generous blood
+  Aids mental motives to push on renown,
+  In emulation of their glorious sires,
+  From whom rolls down the consecrated stream.
+  Some sow good seeds in the glad people's hearts,
+  Some cursed tares, like Satan in the text:
+  This makes a foe most fatal to the state;
+  A foe who (like a wizard in his cell)
+  In his dark cabinet of crooked schemes,
+  Resembling Cuma's gloomy grot, the forge
+  Of boasted oracles, and real lies,
+  (Aided, perhaps, by second-sighted Scots,
+  French magi, relics riding post from Rome,
+  A gothic hero(48) rising from the dead,
+  And changing for spruce plaid his dirty shroud,
+  With succour suitable from lower still,)
+  A foe who, these concurring to the charm,
+  Excites those storms that shall o'erturn the state,
+  Rend up her ancient honours by the root,
+  And lay the boast of ages, the rever'd
+  Of nations, the dear-bought with sumless wealth
+  And blood illustrious, (spite of her La Hogues,
+  Her Cresseys, and her Blenheims,) in the dust.
+    How must this strike a horror thro' the breast,
+  Thro' every generous breast where honour reigns,
+  Thro' every breast where honour claims a share!
+  Yes, and thro' every breast of honour void!
+  This thought might animate the dregs of men;
+  Ferment them into spirit; give them fire
+  To fight the cause, the black opprobrious cause,
+  Foul core of all!--corruption at our hearts.
+  What wreck of empire has the stream of time
+  Swept, with her vices, from the mountain height
+  Of grandeur, deified by half mankind,
+  To dark oblivion's melancholy lake,
+  Or flagrant infamy's eternal brand!
+  Those names, at which surrounding nations shook,
+  Those names ador'd, a nuisance! or forgot!
+  Nor this the caprice of a doubtful die,
+  But Nature's course; no single chance against it.
+    For know, my lord! 'tis writ in adamant,
+  'Tis fixt, as is the basis of the world,
+  Whose kingdoms stand or fall by the decree.
+  What saw these eyes, surpris'd!--Yet why surpris'd--
+  For aid divine the crisis seem'd to call,
+  And how divine was the monition given!
+  As late I walk'd the night in troubled thought,
+  My peace disturb'd by rumours from the north,
+  While thunder o'er my head, portentous, roll'd,
+  As giving signal of some strange event,
+  And ocean groan'd beneath for her he lov'd,
+  Albion the fair! so long his empire's queen,
+  Whose reign is, now, contested by her foes,
+  On her white cliffs (a tablet broad and bright,
+  Strongly reflecting the pale lunar ray)
+  By fate's own iron pen I saw it writ,
+  And thus the title ran:
+
+
+
+
+
+                          THE STATEMAN'S CREED.
+
+
+    "Ye states! and empires! nor of empires least,
+  Though least in size, hear, Britain! thou whose lot,
+  Whose final lot, is in the balance laid,
+  Irresolutely play the doubtful scales,
+  Nor know'st thou which will win.--Know then from me,
+  As govern'd well or ill, states sink or rise:
+  State ministers, as upright or corrupt,
+  Are balm or poison in a nation's veins!
+  Health or distemper, hasten or retard
+  The period of her pride, her day of doom:
+  And though, for reasons obvious to the wise,
+  Just Providence deals otherwise with men,
+  Yet believe, Britons! nor too late believe,
+  'Tis fix'd! by fate irrevocably fix'd!
+  Virtue and vice are empire's life and death."
+
+    Thus it is written--Heard you not a groan?
+  Is Britain on her death-bed?--No, that groan
+  Was utter'd by her foes--but soon the scale,
+  If this divine monition is despis'd,
+  May turn against us. Read it, ye who rule!
+  With reverence read; with steadfastness believe;
+  With courage act as such belief inspires;
+  Then shall your glory stand like fate's decree;
+  Then shall your name in adamant be writ,
+  In records that defy the tooth of time,
+  By nations sav'd, resounding your applause.
+  While deep beyond your monument's proud base,
+  In black oblivion's kennel, shall be trod
+  Their execrable names, who, high in power,
+  And deep in guilt, most ominously shine,
+  (The meteors of the state!) give vice her head,
+  To license lewd let loose the public rein;
+  Quench every spark of conscience in the land,
+  And triumph in the profligate's applause:
+  Or who to the first bidder sell their souls,
+  Their country sell, sell all their fathers bought
+  With funds exhausted and exhausted veins,
+  To demons, by his holiness ordain'd
+  To propagate the gospel--penn'd at Rome;
+  Hawk'd through the world by consecrated bulls;
+  And how illustrated?--by Smithfleld flames:
+  Who plunge (but not like Curtius) down the gulf,
+  Down narrow-minded self's voracious gulf,
+  Which gapes and swallows all they swore to save:
+  Hate all that lifted heroes into gods,
+  And hug the horrors of a victor's chain:
+  Of bodies politic that destin'd hell,
+  Inflicted here, since here their beings end;
+  And fall from foes detested and despis'd,
+  On disbelievers--of the statesman's creed.
+    Note, here, my lord, (unnoted yet it lies
+  By most, or all,) these truths political
+  Serve more than public ends: this creed of states
+  Seconds, and irresistibly supports,
+  The Christian creed. Are you surpris'd?--Attend
+  And on the statesman's build a nobler name.
+  This punctual justice exercis'd on states,
+  With which authentic chronicle abounds,
+  As all men know, and therefore must believe;
+  This vengeance pour'd on nations ripe in guilt,
+  Pour'd on them here, where only they exist,
+  What is it but an argument of sense,
+  Or rather demonstration, to support
+  Our feeble faith--"That they who states compose,
+  That men who stand not bounded by the grave,
+  Shall meet like measure at their proper hour?"
+  For God is equal, similarly deals
+  With states and persons, or he were not God!
+  What means a rectitude immutable?
+  A pattern here of universal right.
+  What, then, shall rescue an abandon'd man?
+  Nothing, it is replied. Replied, by whom?
+  Replied by politicians well as priests:
+  Writ sacred set aside, mankind's own writ,
+  The whole world's annals; these pronounce his doom.
+    Thus (what might seem a daring paradox)
+  E'en politics advance divinity:
+  True masters there are better scholars here,
+  Who travel history in quest of schemes
+  To govern nations, or perhaps oppress,
+  May there start truths that other aims inspire,
+  And, like Candace's eunuch, as they read,
+  By Providence turn Christians on their road:
+  Digging for silver, they may strike on gold;
+  May be surpris'd with better than they sought,
+  And entertain an angel unawares.
+    Nor is divinity ungrateful found.
+  As politics advance divinity,
+  Thus, in return, divinity promotes
+  True politics, and crowns the statesman's praise.
+  All wisdoms are but branches of the chief,
+  And statesmen found but shoots of honest men.
+  Are this world's witchcrafts pleaded in excuse
+  For deviations in our moral line?
+  This, and the next world, view'd with such an eye
+  As suits a statesman, such as keeps in view
+  His own exalted science, both conspire
+  To recommend and fix us in the right.
+  If we reward the politics of Heaven,
+  The grand administration of the whole,
+  What's the next world? A supplement of this:
+  Without it, justice is defective here;
+  Just as to states, defective as to men:
+  If so, what is this world? As sure as right
+  Sits in Heaven's throne, a prophet of the next.
+  Prize you the prophet? then believe him too:
+  His prophecy more precious than his smile.
+  How comes it then to pass, with most on earth,
+  That this should charm us, that should discompose?
+  Long as the statesman finds this case his own,
+  So long his politics are uncomplete;
+  In danger he; nor is the nation safe,
+  But soon must rue his inauspicious power.
+  What hence results? a truth that should resound
+  For ever awful in Britannia's ear:
+  "Religion crowns the statesman and the man,
+  Sole source of public and of private peace."
+  This truth all men must own, and therefore will,
+  And praise and preach it too:--and when that's done,
+  Their compliment is paid, and 'tis forgot.
+  What highland pole-axe half so deep can wound?
+    But how dare I, so mean, presume so far?
+  Assume my seat in the dictator's chair?
+  Pronounce, predict (as if indeed inspir'd),
+  Promulge my censures, lay out all my throat,
+  Till hoarse in clamour on enormous crimes?
+  Two mighty columns rise in my support;
+  In their more awful and authentic voice,
+  Record profane and sacred, drown the muse,
+  Tho' loud, and far out-thread her threatening song.
+  Still further, Holles! suffer me to plead
+  That I speak freely, as I speak to thee:
+  Guilt only startles at the name of guilt;
+  And truth, plain truth, is welcome to the wise.
+  Thus what seem'd my presumption is thy praise.
+    Praise, and immortal praise, is virtue's claim;
+  And virtue's sphere is action: yet we grant
+  Some merit to the trumpet's loud alarm,
+  Whose clangour kindles cowards into men.
+  Nor shall the verse, perhaps, be quite forgot,
+  Which talks of immortality, and bids,
+  In every British breast, true glory rise,
+  As now the warbling lark awakes the morn.
+  To close, my lord! with that which all should close
+  And all begin, and strike us every hour,
+  Though no war wak'd us, no black tempest frown'd.
+  The morning rises gay; yet gayest morn
+  Less glorious after night's incumbent shades;
+  Less glorious far bright nature, rich array'd
+  With golden robes, in all the pomp of noon,
+  Than the first feeble dawn of moral day?
+  Sole day, (let those whom statesmen serve attend,)
+  Though the sun ripens diamonds for their crowns;
+  Sole day worth his regard whom Heaven ordains,
+  Undarken'd, to behold noon dark, and date,
+  From the sun's death, and every planet's fall,
+  His all-illustrious and eternal year;
+  Where statesmen and their monarchs, (names of awe
+  And distance here,) shall rank with common men,
+  Yet own their glory never dawn'd before.
+
+
+
+
+
+                               RESIGNATION.
+
+
+                              In Two Parts.
+
+
+      My soul shall be satisfied even as it were with marrow and
+      fatness, when my mouth praiseth thee with joyful lips.
+
+                                                       PSALM lxiii. 6.

+
+
+This was not intended for the public; there were many and strong reasons
+against it, and are so still; but some extracts of it, from the few copies
+which were given away, being got into the printed papers, it was thought
+necessary to publish something, lest a copy still more imperfect than this
+should fall into the press: and it is hoped, that this unwelcome occasion
+of publication may be some excuse for it.
+
+As for the following stanzas, God Almighty's infinite power, and
+marvellous goodness to man, is dwelt on, as the most just and cogent
+reason for our cheerful and absolute resignation to his will; nor are any
+of those topics declined, which have a just tendency to promote that
+supreme virtue: such as the vanity of this life, the value of the next,
+the approach of death, &c.
+
+
+
+
+                                 Part I.
+
+
+  The days how few, how short the years
+    Of man's too rapid race!
+  Each leaving, as it swiftly flies,
+    A shorter in its place.
+
+  They who the longest lease enjoy,
+    Have told us with a sigh,
+  That to be born seems little more
+    Than to begin to die.
+
+  Numbers there are who feel this truth
+    With fears alarm'd; and yet,
+  In life's delusions lull'd asleep,
+    This weighty truth forget:
+
+  And am not I to these akin?
+    Age slumbers o'er the quill;
+  Its honour blots, whate'er it writes,
+    And am I writing still?
+
+  Conscious of nature in decline,
+    And languor in my thoughts;
+  To soften censure, and abate
+    Its rigour on my faults
+
+  Permit me, madam! ere to you
+    The promis'd verse I pay,
+  To touch on felt infirmity,
+    Sad sister of decay.
+
+  One world deceas'd, another born,
+    Like Noah they behold,
+  O'er whose white hairs, and furrow'd brows,
+    Too many suns have roll'd:
+
+  Happy the patriarch! he rejoic'd
+    His second world to see:
+  My second world, though gay the scene,
+    Can boast no charms for me.
+
+  To me this brilliant age appears
+    With desolation spread;
+  Near all with whom I liv'd, and smil'd,
+    Whilst life was life, are dead;
+
+  And with them died my joys; the grave
+    Has broken nature's laws;
+  And clos'd, against this feeble frame,
+    Its partial cruel jaws;
+
+  Cruel to spare! condemn'd to life!
+    A cloud impairs my sight;
+  My weak hand disobeys my will,
+    And trembles as I write.
+
+  What shall I write? Thalia, tell;
+    Say, long abandon'd muse!
+  What field of fancy shall I range?
+    What subject shall I choose?
+
+  A choice of moment high inspire,
+    And rescue me from shame,
+  For doting on thy charms so late,
+    By grandeur in my theme.
+
+  Beyond the themes, which most admire,
+    Which dazzle, or amaze,
+  Beyond renown'd exploits of war,
+    Bright charms, or empire's blaze,
+
+  Are themes, which, in a world of woe
+    Can best appease our pain;
+  And, in an age of gaudy guilt,
+    Gay folly's flood restrain;
+
+  Amidst the storms of life support
+    A calm, unshaken mind;
+  And with unfading laurels crown
+    The brow of the resign'd.
+
+  O resignation! yet unsung,
+    Untouch'd by former strains;
+  Though claiming every muse's smile,
+    And every poet's pains,
+
+  Beneath life's evening, solemn shade,
+    I dedicate my page
+  To thee, thou safest guard of youth!
+    Thou sole support of age!
+
+  All other duties crescents are
+    Of virtue faintly bright,
+  The glorious consummation, thou!
+    Which fills her orb with light:
+
+  How rarely fill'd! the love divine
+    In evils to discern,
+  This the first lesson which we want,
+    The latest, which we learn;
+
+  A melancholy truth! for know,
+    Could our proud hearts resign,
+  The distance greatly would decrease
+    'Twixt human and divine.
+
+  But though full noble is my theme,
+    Full urgent is my call
+  To soften sorrow, and forbid
+    The bursting tear to fall:
+
+  The task I dread; dare I to leave
+    Of humble prose the shore,
+  And put to sea? a dangerous sea?
+    What throngs have sunk before!
+
+  How proud the poet's billow swells!
+    The God! the God! his boast:
+  A boast how vain! What wrecks abound!
+    Dead bards stench every coast.
+
+  What then am I? Shall I presume,
+    On such a moulten wing,
+  Above the general wreck to rise,
+    And in my winter, sing;
+
+  When nightingales, when sweetest bards
+    Confine their charming song
+  To summer's animating heats,
+    Content to warble young?
+
+  Yet write I must; a lady(49) sues;
+    How shameful her request!
+  My brain in labour for dull rhyme!
+    Hers teeming with the best!
+
+  But you a stranger will excuse,
+    Nor scorn his feeble strain;
+  To you a stranger, but, through fate,
+    No stranger to your pain.
+
+  The ghost of grief deceas'd ascends,
+    His old wound bleeds anew;
+  His sorrows are recall'd to life
+    By those he sees in you;
+
+  Too well he knows the twisting strings
+    Of ardent hearts combin'd
+  When rent asunder, how they bleed,
+    How hard to be resign'd:
+
+  Those tears you pour, his eyes have shed;
+    The pang you feel, he felt;
+  Thus nature, loud as virtue, bids
+    His heart at yours to melt.
+
+  But what can heart, or head, suggest?
+    What sad experience say?
+  Through truths austere, to peace we work
+    Our rugged, gloomy way:
+
+  What are we? whence? for what? and whither?
+    Who know not, needs must mourn;
+  But thought, bright daughter of the skies!
+    Can tears to triumph turn.
+
+  Thought is our armour, 'tis the mind's
+    Impenetrable shield,
+  When, sent by fate, we meet our foes,
+    In sore affliction's field;
+
+  It plucks the frightful mask from ills,
+    Forbids pale fear to hide,
+  Beneath that dark disguise, a friend,
+    Which turns affection's tide.
+
+  Affection frail! train'd up by sense,
+    From reason's channel strays:
+  And whilst it blindly points at peace,
+    Our peace to pain betrays.
+
+  Thought winds its fond, erroneous stream
+    From daily dying flowers,
+  To nourish rich immortal blooms,
+    In amaranthine bowers;
+
+  Whence throngs, in ecstasy, look down
+    On what once shock'd their sight;
+  And thank the terrors of the past
+    For ages of delight.
+
+  All withers here; who most possess
+    Are losers by their gain,
+  Stung by full proof, that, bad at best,
+    Life's idle all is vain:
+
+  Vain, in its course, life's murmuring stream;
+    Did not its course offend,
+  But murmur cease; life, then, would seem
+    Still vainer, from its end.
+
+  How wretched! who, through cruel fate,
+    Have nothing to lament!
+  With the poor alms this world affords
+    Deplorably content!
+
+  Had not the Greek his world mistook,
+    His wish had been most wise;
+  To be content with but one world,
+    Like him, we should despise.
+
+  Of earth's revenue would you state
+    A full account and fair?
+  We hope; and hope; and hope; then cast
+    The total up------
+                              _Despair._
+
+  Since vain all here, all future, vast,
+    Embrace the lot assign'd;
+  Heaven wounds to heal; its frowns are friends;
+    Its stroke severe, most kind.
+
+  But in laps'd nature rooted deep,
+    Blind error domineers;
+  And on fools' errands, in the dark,
+    Sends out our hopes and fears;
+
+  Bids us for ever pains deplore,
+    Our pleasures overprize;
+  These oft persuade us to be weak;
+    Those urge us to be wise.
+
+  From virtue's rugged path to right
+    By pleasure are we brought,
+  To flowery fields of wrong, and there
+    Pain chides us for our fault:
+
+  Yet whilst it chides, it speaks of peace
+    If folly is withstood;
+  And says, time pays an easy price,
+    For our eternal good.
+
+  In earth's dark cot, and in an hour,
+    And in delusion great,
+  What an economist is man
+    To spend his whole estate,
+
+  And beggar an eternity!
+    For which as he was born,
+  More worlds than one against it weigh'd,
+    As feathers he should scorn.
+
+  Say not, your loss in triumph leads
+    Religion's feeble strife;
+  Joys future amply reimburse
+    Joys bankrupts of this life.
+
+  But not deferr'd your joy so long,
+    It bears an early date;
+  Affliction's ready pay in hand,
+    Befriends our present state;
+
+  What are the tears, which trickle down
+    Her melancholy face,
+  Like liquid pearl? Like pearls of price,
+    They purchase lasting peace.
+
+  Grief softens hearts, and curbs the will,
+    Impetuous passion tames,
+  And keeps insatiate, keen desire
+    From launching in extremes.
+
+  Through time's dark womb, our judgment right,
+    If our dim eye was thrown,
+  Clear should we see, the will divine
+    Has but forestall'd our own;
+
+  At variance with our future wish,
+    Self-sever'd we complain;
+  If so, the wounded, not the wound,
+    Must answer for the pain:
+
+  The day shall come, and swift of wing,
+    Though you may think it slow,
+  When, in the list of fortune's smiles,
+    You'll enter frowns of woe.
+
+  For mark the path of Providence;
+    This course it has pursued--
+  "Pain is the parent, woe the womb,
+    Of sound, important good:"
+
+  Our hearts are fasten'd to this world
+    By strong and endless ties:
+  And every sorrow cuts a string,
+    And urges us to rise:
+
+  'Twill sound severe--Yet rest assur'd
+    I'm studious of your peace;
+  Though I should dare to give you joy--
+    Yes, joy of his decease:
+
+  An hour shall come, (you question this,)
+    An hour, when you shall bless,
+  Beyond the brightest beams of life,
+    Dark days of your distress.
+
+  Hear then without surprise a truth,
+    A daughter truth to this,
+  Swift turns of fortune often tie
+    A bleeding heart to bliss:
+
+  Esteem you this a paradox?
+    My sacred motto read;
+  A glorious truth! divinely sung
+    By one, whose heart had bled;
+
+  To resignation swift he flew,
+    In her a friend he found,
+  A friend, which bless'd him with a smile
+    When gasping with his wound.
+
+  On earth nought precious is obtain'd
+    But what is painful too;
+  By travel, and to travel born,
+    Our sabbaths are but few:
+
+  To real joy we work our way,
+    Encountering many a shock,
+  Ere found what truly charms; as found
+    A Venus in the block.
+
+  In some disaster, some severe
+    Appointment for our sins,
+  That mother blessing, (not so call'd,)
+    True happiness, begins.
+
+  No martyr e'er defied the flames,
+    By stings of life unvext;
+  First rose some quarrel with this world,
+    Then passion for the next.
+
+  You see, then, pangs are parent pangs,
+    The pangs of happy birth;
+  Pangs, by which only can be born
+    True happiness on earth.
+
+  The peopled earth look all around,
+    Or through time's records run!
+  And say, what is a man unstruck?
+    It is a man undone.
+
+  This moment, am I deeply stung--
+    My bold pretence is tried;
+  When vain man boasts, heaven puts to proof
+    The vauntings of his pride;
+
+  Now need I, madam! your support.--
+    How exquisite the smart;
+  How critically tim'd the news(50)
+    Which strikes me to the heart!
+
+  The pangs of which I spoke, I feel:
+    If worth like thine is born,
+  O long-belov'd! I bless the blow,
+    And triumph, whilst I mourn.
+
+  Nor mourn I long; by grief subdued,
+    By reason's empire shown;
+  Deep anguish comes by heaven's decree,
+    Continues by our own;
+
+  And when continued past its point,
+    Indulg'd in length of time,
+  Grief is disgrac'd, and, what was fate,
+    Corrupts into a crime:
+
+  And shall I, criminally mean,
+    Myself and subject wrong?
+  No; my example shall support
+    The subject of my song.
+
+  Madam! I grant your loss is great;
+    Nor little is your gain?
+  Let that be weigh'd; when weigh'd aright,
+    It richly pays your pain:
+
+  When heaven would kindly set us free,
+    And earth's enchantment end;
+  It takes the most effectual means,
+    And robs us of a friend.
+
+  But such a friend! and sigh no more?
+    'Tis prudent; but severe:
+  Heaven aid my weakness, and I drop
+    All sorrow--with this tear.
+
+  Perhaps your settled grief to soothe,
+    I should not vainly strive,
+  But with soft balm your pain assuage,
+    Had he been still alive;
+
+  Whose frequent aid brought kind relief,
+    In my distress of thought,
+  Ting'd with his beams my cloudy page,
+    And beautified a fault:
+
+  To touch our passions' secret springs
+    Was his peculiar care;
+  And deep his happy genius div'd
+    In bosoms of the fair;
+
+  Nature, which favours to the few,
+    All art beyond, imparts,
+  To him presented, at his birth,
+    The key of human hearts.
+
+  But not to me by him bequeath'd
+    His gentle, smooth address;
+  His tender hand to touch the wound
+    In throbbing of distress;
+
+  Howe'er, proceed I must, unbless'd
+    With Esculapian art:
+  Know, love sometimes, mistaken love!
+    Plays disaffection's part:
+
+  Nor lands, nor seas, nor suns, nor stars,
+    Can soul from soul divide;
+  They correspond from distant worlds,
+    Though transports are denied:
+
+  Are you not, then, unkindly kind?
+    Is not your love severe?
+  O! stop that crystal source of woe;
+    Nor wound him with a tear.
+
+  As those above from human bliss
+    Receive increase of joy;
+  May not a stroke from human woe,
+    In part, their peace destroy?
+
+  He lives in those he left;--to what?
+    Your, now, paternal care,
+  Clear from its cloud your brighten'd eye,
+    It will discern him there;
+
+  In features, not of form alone,
+    But those, I trust, of mind;
+  Auspicious to the public weal,
+    And to their fate resign'd.
+
+  Think on the tempests he sustain'd;
+    Revolve his battles won;
+  And let those prophesy your joy
+    From such a father's son:
+
+  Is consolation what you seek?
+    Fan, then, his martial fire:
+  And animate to flame the sparks
+    Bequeath'd him by his sire:
+
+  As nothing great is born in haste,
+    Wise nature's time allow;
+  His father's laurels may descend,
+    And flourish on his brow.
+
+  Nor, madam! be surpris'd to hear
+    That laurels may be due
+  Not more to heroes of the field,
+    (Proud boasters!) than to you:
+
+  Tender as is the female frame,
+    Like that brave man you mourn,
+  You are a soldier, and to fight
+    Superior battles born;
+
+  Beneath a banner nobler far
+    Than ever was unfurl'd
+  In fields of blood; a banner bright!
+    High wav'd o'er all the world.
+
+  It, like a streaming meteor, casts
+    A universal light;
+  Sheds day, sheds more, eternal day
+    On nations whelm'd in night.
+
+  Beneath that banner, what exploit
+    Can mount our glory higher,
+  Than to sustain the dreadful blow,
+    When those we love expire?
+
+  Go forth a moral Amazon;
+    Arm'd with undaunted thought;
+  The battle won, though costing dear,
+    You'll think it cheaply bought:
+
+  The passive hero, who sits down
+    Unactive, and can smile
+  Beneath affliction's galling load,
+    Out-acts a C�sar's toil:
+
+  The billows stain'd by slaughter'd foes
+    Inferior praise afford;
+  Reason's a bloodless conqueror,
+    More glorious than the sword.
+
+  Nor can the thunders of huzzas,
+    From shouting nations, cause
+  Such sweet delight, as from your heart
+    Soft whispers of applause:
+
+  The dear deceas'd so fam'd in arms,
+    With what delight he'll view
+  His triumphs on the main outdone,
+    Thus conquer'd, twice, by you.
+
+  Share his delight; take heed to shun
+    Of bosoms most diseas'd
+  That odd distemper, an absurd
+    Reluctance to be pleas'd:
+
+  Some seem in love with sorrow's charms,
+    And that foul fiend embrace:
+  This temper let me justly brand,
+    And stamp it with disgrace:
+
+  Sorrow! of horrid parentage!
+    Thou second-born of hell!
+  Against heaven's endless mercies pour'd
+    How dar'st thou to rebel?
+
+  From black and noxious vapours bred,
+    And nurs'd by want of thought,
+  And to the door of phrensy's self
+    By perseverance brought,
+
+  Thy most inglorious, coward tears
+    From brutal eyes have ran:
+  Smiles, incommunicable smiles!
+    Are radiant marks of man;
+
+  They cast a sudden glory round
+    Th' illumin'd human face;
+  And light in sons of honest joy
+    Some beams of Moses' face:
+
+  Is resignation's lesson hard?
+    Examine, we shall find
+  That duty gives up little more
+    Than anguish of the mind;
+
+  Resign; and all the load of life
+    That moment you remove,
+  Its heavy tax, ten thousand cares
+    Devolve on one above;
+
+  Who bids us lay our burthen down
+    On his almighty hand,
+  Softens our duty to relief,
+    To blessing a command.
+
+  For joy what cause! how every sense
+    Is courted from above
+  The year around, with presents rich,
+    The growth of endless love!
+
+  But most o'erlook the blessings pour'd,
+    Forget the wonders done,
+  And terminate, wrapp'd up in sense,
+    Their prospect at the sun;
+
+  From that, their final point of view,
+    From that their radiant goal,
+  On travel infinite of thought,
+    Sets out the nobler soul,
+
+  Broke loose from time's tenacious ties,
+    And earth's involving gloom,
+  To range at last its vast domain,
+    And talk with worlds to come:
+
+  They let unmark'd, and unemploy'd,
+    Life's idle moments run;
+  And doing nothing for themselves,
+    Imagine nothing done;
+
+  Fatal mistake! their fate goes on,
+    Their dread account proceeds,
+  And their not doing is set down
+    Amongst their darkest deeds;
+
+  Though man sits still, and takes his ease;
+    God is at work on man;
+  No means, no moment unemployed,
+    To bless him, if he can.
+
+  But man consents not, boldly bent
+    To fashion his own fate;
+  Man, a mere bungler in the trade,
+    Repents his crime too late;
+
+  Hence loud laments: let me thy cause,
+    Indulgent father! plead;
+  Of all the wretches we deplore,
+    Not one by thee was made.
+
+  What is thy whole creation fair?
+    Of love divine the child;
+  Love brought it forth; and, from its birth,
+    Has o'er it fondly smil'd:
+
+  Now, and through periods distant far,
+    Long ere the world began,
+  Heaven is, and has in travail been,
+    Its birth the good of man;
+
+  Man holds in constant service bound
+    The blustering winds and seas;
+  Nor suns disdain to travel hard
+    Their master, man, to please:
+
+  To final good the worst events
+    Through secret channels run;
+  Finish for man their destin'd course,
+    As 'twas for man begun.
+
+  One point (observ'd, perhaps, by few)
+    Has often smote, and smites
+  My mind, as demonstration strong;
+    That heaven in man delights:
+
+  What's known to man of things unseen,
+    Of future worlds, or fates?
+  So much, nor more, than what to man's
+    Sublime affairs relates;
+
+  What's revelation then? a list,
+    An inventory just
+  Of that poor insect's goods, so late
+    Call'd out of night and dust.
+
+  What various motives to rejoice!
+    To render joy sincere,
+  Has this no weight? our joy is felt
+    Beyond this narrow sphere:
+
+  Would we in heaven new heaven create,
+    And double its delight?
+  A smiling world, when heaven looks down,
+    How pleasing in its sight!
+
+  Angels stoop forward from their thrones
+    To hear its joyful lays;
+  As incense sweet enjoy, and join,
+    Its aromatic praise:
+
+  Have we no cause to fear the stroke
+    Of heaven's avenging rod,
+  When we presume to counteract
+    A sympathetic God?
+
+  If we resign, our patience makes
+    His rod an armless wand;
+  If not, it darts a serpent's sting,
+    Like that in Moses' hand;
+
+  Like that, it swallows up whate'er
+    Earth's vain magicians bring,
+  Whose baffled arts would boast below
+    Of joys a rival spring.
+
+  Consummate love! the list how large
+    Of blessings from thy hand!
+  To banish sorrow, and be blest,
+    Is thy supreme command.
+
+  Are such commands but ill obey'd?
+    Of bliss, shall we complain?
+  The man, who dares to be a wretch,
+    Deserves still greater pain.
+
+  Joy is our duty, glory, health;
+    The sunshine of the soul;
+  Our best encomium on the power
+    Who sweetly plans the whole:
+
+  Joy is our Eden still possess'd:
+    Begone, ignoble grief!
+  'Tis joy makes gods, and men exalts,
+    Their nature, our relief;
+
+  Relief, for man to that must stoop,
+    And his due distance know;
+  Transport's the language of the sides,
+    Content the style below.
+
+  Content is joy, and joy in pain
+    Is joy and virtue too;
+  Thus, whilst good present we possess,
+    More precious we pursue:
+
+  Of joy the more we have in hand,
+    The more have we to come;
+  Joy, like our money, interest bears,
+    Which daily swells the sum.
+
+  "But how to smile; to stem the tide
+    Of nature in our veins;
+  Is it not hard to weep in joy?
+    What then to smile in pains?"
+
+  Victorious joy! which breaks the clouds,
+    And struggles through a storm;
+  Proclaims the mind as great, as good
+    And bids it doubly charm:
+
+  If doubly charming in our sex,
+    A sex, by nature, bold;
+  What then in yours? 'tis diamond there
+    Triumphant o'er our gold.
+
+  And should not this complaint repress,
+    And check the rising sigh?
+  Yet farther opiate to your pain
+    I labour to supply.
+
+  Since spirits greatly damp'd distort
+    Ideas of delight,
+  Look through the medium of a friend,
+    To set your notions right:
+
+  As tears the sight, grief dims the soul;
+    Its object dark appears;
+  True friendship, like a rising sun,
+    The soul's horizon clears.
+
+  A friend's an optic to the mind
+    With sorrow clouded o'er;
+  And gives it strength of sight to see
+    Redress unseen before.
+
+  Reason is somewhat rough in man;
+    Extremely smooth and fair,
+  When she, to grace her manly strength,
+    Assumes a female air:
+
+  A friend(51) you have, and I the same,
+    Whose prudent, soft address
+  Will bring to life those healing thoughts
+    Which died in your distress;
+
+  That friend, the spirit of my theme
+    Extracting for your ease,
+  Will leave to me the dreg, in thoughts
+    Too common; such as these:
+
+  Let those lament to whom full bowls
+    Of sparkling joys are given;
+  That triple bane inebriates life,
+    Imbitters death, and hazards heaven:
+
+  Woe to the soul at perfect ease!
+    'Tis brewing perfect pains;
+  Lull'd reason sleeps, the pulse is king;
+    Despotic body reigns;
+
+  Have you(52) ne'er pitied joy's gay scenes,
+    And deem'd their glory dark?
+  Alas! poor envy! she's stone-blind,
+    And quite mistakes her mark:
+
+  Her mark lies hid in sorrow's shades,
+    But sorrow well subdu'd;
+  And in proud fortune's frown defied
+    By meek, unborrow'd good.
+
+  By resignation; all in that
+    A double friend may find,
+  A wing to heaven, and, while on earth,
+    The pillow of mankind:
+
+  On pillows void of down, for rest
+    Our restless hopes we place;
+  When hopes of heaven lie warm at heart,
+    Our hearts repose in peace:
+
+  The peace, which resignation yields,
+    Who feel alone can guess;
+  'Tis disbeliev'd by murmuring minds,
+    They must conclude it less:
+
+  The loss, or gain, of that alone
+    Have we to hope or fear;
+  That fate controls, and can invert
+    The seasons of the year:
+
+  O! the dark days, the year around,
+    Of an impatient mind!
+  Thro' clouds, and storms, a summer breaks,
+    To shine on the resign'd:
+
+  While man by that of every grace,
+    And virtue, is possess'd;
+  Foul vice her pand�monium builds
+    In the rebellious breast;
+
+  By resignation we defeat
+    The worst that can annoy;
+  And suffer, with far more repose,
+    Than worldlings can enjoy.
+
+  From small experience this I speak;
+    O! grant to those I love
+  Experience fuller far, ye powers,
+    Who form our fates above!
+
+  My love were due, if not to those
+    Who, leaving grandeur, came
+  To shine on age in mean recess,
+    And light me to my theme!
+
+  A theme themselves! A theme, how rare!
+    The charms, which they display,
+  To triumph over captive heads,
+    Are set in bright array:
+
+  With his own arms proud man's o'ercome,
+    His boasted laurels die:
+  Learning and genius, wiser grown,
+    To female bosoms fly.
+
+  This revolution, fix'd by fate,
+    In fable was foretold;
+  The dark prediction puzzled wits,
+    Nor could the learn'd unfold:
+
+  But as those ladies'(53) works I read,
+    They darted such a ray,
+  The latent sense burst out at once,
+    And shone in open day:
+
+  So burst, full ripe, distended fruits,
+    When strongly strikes the sun;
+  And from the purple grape unpress'd
+    Spontaneous nectars run.
+
+  Pallas, ('tis said,) when Jove grew dull,
+    Forsook his drowsy brain;
+  And sprightly leap'd into the throne
+    Of wisdom's brighter reign;
+
+  Her helmet took; that is, shot rays
+    Of formidable wit;
+  And lance,--or, genius most acute,
+    Which lines immortal writ;
+
+  And gorgon shield,--or, power to fright
+    Man's folly, dreadful shone,
+  And many a blockhead (easy change!)
+    Turn'd, instantly, to stone.
+
+  Our authors male, as, then, did Jove,
+    Now scratch a damag'd head,
+  And call for what once quarter'd there,
+    But find the goddess fled.
+
+  The fruit of knowledge, golden fruit!
+    That once forbidden tree,
+  Hedg'd-in by surly man, is now
+    To Britain's daughters free:
+
+  In Eve (we know) of fruit so fair
+    The noble thirst began;
+  And they, like her, have caus'd a fall,
+    A fall of fame in man:
+
+  And since of genius in our sex,
+    O Addison! with thee
+  The sun is set; how I rejoice
+    This sister lamp to see!
+
+  It sheds, like Cynthia, silver beams
+    On man's nocturnal state;
+  His lessen'd light, and languid powers,
+    I show, whilst I relate.
+
+
+
+
+                                 Part II.
+
+
+  But what in either sex, beyond
+    All parts, our glory crowns?
+  "In ruffling seasons to be calm,
+    And smile, when fortune frowns."
+
+  Heaven's choice is safer than our own;
+    Of ages past inquire,
+  What the most formidable fate?
+    "To have our own desire."
+
+  If, in your wrath, the worst of foes
+    You wish extremely ill;
+  Expose him to the thunder's stroke,
+    Or that of his own will.
+
+  What numbers, rushing down the steep
+    Of inclination strong,
+  Have perish'd in their ardent wish!
+    Wish ardent, ever wrong!
+
+  'Tis resignation's full reverse,
+    Most wrong, as it implies
+  Error most fatal in our choice,
+    Detachment from the skies.
+
+  By closing with the skies, we make
+    Omnipotence our own;
+  That done, how formidable ill's
+    Whole army is o'erthrown!
+
+  No longer impotent, and frail,
+    Ourselves above we rise:
+  We scarce believe ourselves below!
+    We trespass on the skies!
+
+  The Lord, the soul, and source of all,
+    Whilst man enjoys his ease,
+  Is executing human will,
+    In earth, and air, and seas;
+
+  Beyond us, what can angels boast?
+    Archangels what require?
+  Whate'er below, above, is done,
+    Is done as----we desire.
+
+  What glory this for man so mean,
+    Whose life is but a span!
+  This is meridian majesty!
+    This, the sublime of man!
+
+  Beyond the boast of pagan song
+    My sacred subject shines!
+  And for a foil the lustre takes
+    Of Rome's exalted lines.
+
+  "All, that the sun surveys, subdued,
+    But Cato's mighty mind."
+  How grand! most true; yet far beneath
+    The soul of the resign'd:
+
+  To more than kingdoms, more than worlds,
+    To passion that gives law;
+  Its matchless empire could have kept
+    Great Cato's pride in awe;
+
+  That fatal pride, whose cruel point
+    Transfix'd his noble breast;
+  Far nobler! if his fate sustain'd
+    And left to heaven the rest;
+
+  Then he the palm had borne away,
+    At distance C�sar thrown;
+  Put him off cheaply with the world,
+    And made the skies his own.
+
+  What cannot resignation do?
+    It wonders can perform;
+  That powerful charm, "Thy will be done,"
+    Can lay the loudest storm.
+
+  Come, resignation! then, from fields,
+    Where, mounted on the wing,
+  A wing of flame, blest martyrs' souls
+    Ascended to their king.
+
+  Who is it calls thee? one whose need
+    Transcends the common size;
+  Who stands in front against a foe
+    To which no equal rise:
+
+  In front he stands, the brink he treads
+    Of an eternal state;
+  How dreadful his appointed post!
+    How strongly arm'd by fate:
+
+  His threatening foe! what shadows deep
+    O'erwhelm his gloomy brow!
+  His dart tremendous!----at fourscore
+    My sole asylum, thou!
+
+  Haste, then, O resignation! haste,
+    'Tis thine to reconcile
+  My foe, and me; at thy approach
+    My foe begins to smile:
+
+  O! for that summit of my wish,
+    Whilst here I draw my breath,
+  That promise of eternal life,
+    A glorious smile in death:
+
+  What sight, heaven's azure arch beneath,
+    Has most of heaven to boast?
+  The man resign'd; at once serene,
+    And giving up the ghost.
+
+  At death's arrival they shall smile,
+    Who, not in life o'er gay,
+  Serious and frequent thought send out
+    To meet him on his way:
+
+  My gay coevals! (such there are)
+    If happiness is dear;
+  Approaching death's alarming day
+    Discreetly let us fear:
+
+  The fear of death is truly wise,
+    Till wisdom can rise higher;
+  And, arm'd with pious fortitude,
+    Death dreaded once, desire:
+
+  Grand climacteric vanities
+    The vainest will despise;
+  Shock'd, when beneath the snow of age
+    Man immaturely dies:
+
+  But am not I myself the man?
+    No need abroad to roam
+  In quest of faults to be chastis'd;
+    What cause to blush at home?
+
+  In life's decline, when men relapse
+    Into the sports of youth,
+  The second child out-fools the first,
+    And tempts the lash of truth;
+
+  Shall a mere truant from the grave
+    With rival boys engage?
+  His trembling voice attempt to sing,
+    And ape the poet's rage?
+
+  Here, madam! let me visit one,
+    My fault who, partly, shares,
+  And tell myself, by telling him,
+    What more becomes our years;
+
+  And if your breast with prudent zeal
+    For resignation glows,
+  You will not disapprove a just
+    Resentment at its foes.
+
+  In youth, Voltaire! our foibles plead
+    For some indulgence due;
+  When heads are white, their thoughts and aims
+    Should change their colour too:
+
+  How are you cheated by your wit!
+    Old age is bound to pay,
+  By nature's law, a mind discreet,
+    For joys it takes away;
+
+  A mighty change is wrought by years,
+    Reversing human lot;
+  In age 'tis honour to lie hid,
+    'Tis praise to be forgot;
+
+  The wise, as flowers, which spread at noon,
+    And all their charms expose,
+  When evening damps and shades descend,
+    Their evolutions close.
+
+  What though your muse has nobly soar'd,
+    Is that our truth sublime?
+  Ours, hoary friend! is to prefer
+    Eternity to time:
+
+  Why close a life so justly fam'd
+    With such bold trash as this?(54)
+  This for renown? yes, such as makes
+    Obscurity a bliss:
+
+  Your trash, with mine, at open war,
+    Is obstinately bent,(55)
+  Like wits below, to sow your tares
+    Of gloom and discontent:
+
+  With so much sunshine at command,
+    Why light with darkness mix?
+  Why dash with pain our pleasure?
+    Your Helicon with Styx?
+
+  Your works in our divided minds
+    Repugnant passions raise,
+  Confound us with a double stroke,
+    We shudder whilst we praise;
+
+  A curious web, as finely wrought
+    As genius can inspire,
+  From a black bag of poison spun,
+    With horror we admire.
+
+  Mean as it is, if this is read
+    With a disdainful air,
+  I can't forgive so great a foe
+    To my dear friend Voltaire:
+
+  Early I knew him, early prais'd,
+    And long to praise him late;
+  His genius greatly I admire,
+    Nor would deplore his fate;
+
+  A fate how much to be deplor'd!
+    At which our nature starts;
+  Forbear to fall on your own sword.
+    To perish by your parts:
+
+  "But great your name"--To feed on air,
+    Were then immortals born?
+  Nothing is great, of which more great,
+    More glorious is the scorn.
+
+  Can fame your carcass from the worm
+    Which gnaws us in the grave,
+  Or soul from that which never dies,
+    Applauding Europe save?
+
+  But fame you lose; good sense alone
+    Your idol, praise, can claim;
+  When wild wit murders happiness,
+    It puts to death our fame!
+
+  Nor boast your genius, talents bright;
+    E'en dunces will despise,
+  If in your western beams is miss'd
+    A genius for the skies;
+
+  Your taste too fails; what most excels
+    True taste must relish most!
+  And what, to rival palms above,
+    Can proudest laurels boast?
+
+  Sound heads salvation's helmet seek,(56)
+    Resplendent are its rays,
+  Let that suffice; it needs no plume,
+    Of sublunary praise.
+
+  May this enable couch'd Voltaire
+    To see that--"All is right,"(57)
+  His eye, by flash of wit struck blind,
+    Restoring to its sight;
+
+  If so, all's well: who much have err'd,
+    That much have been forgiven;
+  I speak with joy, with joy he'll hear,
+    "Voltaires are, now, in heaven."
+
+  Nay, such philanthropy divine,
+    So boundless in degree,
+  Its marvellous of love extends
+    (Stoops most profound!) to me:
+
+  Let others cruel stars arraign,
+    Or dwell on their distress;
+  But let my page, for mercies pour'd,
+    A grateful heart express:
+
+  Walking, the present God was seen,
+    Of old, in Eden fair;
+  The God as present, by plain steps
+    Of providential care,
+
+  I behold passing through my life;
+    His awful voice I hear;
+  And, conscious of my nakedness,
+    Would hide myself for fear:
+
+  But where the trees, or where the clouds,
+    Can cover from his sight?
+  Naked the centre to that eye,
+    To which the sun is night.
+
+  As yonder glittering lamps on high
+    Through night illumin'd roll;
+  My thoughts of him, by whom they shine,
+    Chase darkness from my soul;
+
+  My soul, which reads his hand as clear
+    In my minute affairs,
+  As in his ample manuscript
+    Of sun, and moon, and stars;
+
+  And knows him not more bent aright
+    To wield that vast machine,
+  Than to correct one erring thought
+    In my small world within;
+
+  A world, that shall survive the fall
+    Of all his wonders here;
+  Survive, when suns ten thousand drop,
+    And leave a darken'd sphere.
+
+  Yon matter gross, how bright it shines!
+    For time how great his care!
+  Sure spirit and eternity
+    Far richer glories share;
+
+  Let those our hearts impress, on those
+    Our contemplation dwell;
+  On those my thoughts how justly thrown,
+    By what I now shall tell:
+
+  When backward with attentive mind
+    Life's labyrinth I trace,
+  I find him far myself beyond
+    Propitious to my peace:
+
+  Through all the crooked paths I trod,
+    My folly he pursued;
+  My heart astray to quick return
+    Importunately woo'd;
+
+  Due resignation home to press
+    On my capricious will,
+  How many rescues did I meet,
+    Beneath the mask of ill!
+
+  How many foes in ambush laid
+    Beneath my soul's desire!
+  The deepest penitents are made
+    By what we most admire.
+
+  Have I not sometimes (real good
+    So little mortals know!)
+  Mounting the summit of my wish,
+    Profoundly plung'd in woe?
+
+  I rarely plann'd, but cause I found
+    My plan's defeat to bless:
+  Oft I lamented an event;
+    It turn'd to my success.
+
+  By sharpen'd appetite to give
+    To good intense delight,
+  Through dark and deep perplexities
+    He led me to the right.
+
+  And is not this the gloomy path,
+    Which you are treading now?
+  The path most gloomy leads to light,
+    When our proud passions bow:
+
+  When labouring under fancied ill,
+    My spirits to sustain,
+  He kindly cur'd with sovereign draughts
+    Of unimagin'd pain.
+
+  Pain'd sense from fancied tyranny
+    Alone can set us free;
+  A thousand miseries we feel,
+    Till sunk in misery.
+
+  Cloy'd with a glut of all we wish,
+    Our wish we relish less;
+  Success, a sort of suicide,
+    Is ruin'd by success:
+
+  Sometimes he led me near to death,
+    And, pointing to the grave,
+  Bid terror whisper kind advice;
+    And taught the tomb to save:
+
+  To raise my thoughts beyond where worlds
+    As spangles o'er us shine,
+  One day he gave, and bid the next
+    My soul's delight resign.
+
+  We to ourselves, but through the means
+    Of mirrors, are unknown;
+  In this my fate can you descry
+    No features of your own?
+
+  And if you can, let that excuse
+    These self-recording lines;
+  A record, modesty forbids,
+    Or to small bound confines:
+
+  In grief why deep ingulf'd? You see
+    You suffer nothing rare;
+  Uncommon grief for common fate!
+    That wisdom cannot bear.
+
+  When streams flow backward to their source,
+    And humbled flames descend,
+  And mountains wing'd shall fly aloft,
+    Then human sorrows end;
+
+  But human prudence too must cease,
+    When sorrows domineer,
+  When fortitude has lost its fire,
+    And freezes into fear:
+
+  The pang most poignant of my life
+    Now heightens my delight;
+  I see a fair creation rise
+    From chaos, and old night:
+
+  From what seem'd horror, and despair,
+    The richest harvest rose;
+  And gave me in the nod divine
+    An absolute repose.
+
+  Of all the plunders of mankind,
+    More gross, or frequent, none,
+  Than in their grief and joy misplac'd,
+    Eternally are shown.
+
+  But whither points all this parade?
+    It says, that near you lies
+  A book, perhaps yet unperus'd,
+    Which you should greatly prize:
+
+  Of self-perusal, science rare!
+    Few know the mighty gain;
+  Learn'd prelates, self-unread, may read
+    Their Bibles o'er in vain:
+
+  Self-knowledge, which from heaven itself
+    (So sages tell us) came,
+  What is it, but a daughter fair
+    Of my maternal theme?
+
+  Unletter'd and untravel'd men
+    An oracle might find,
+  Would they consult their own contents,
+    The Delphos of the mind.
+
+  Enter your bosom; there you'll meet
+    A revelation new,
+  A revelation personal;
+    Which none can read but you.
+
+  There will you clearly read reveal'd
+    In your enlighten'd thought,
+  By mercies manifold, through life,
+    To fresh remembrance brought,
+
+  A mighty Being! and in him
+    A complicated friend,
+  A father, brother, spouse; no dread
+    Of death, divorce, or end:
+
+  Who such a matchless friend embrace,
+    And lodge him in their heart,
+  Full well, from agonies exempt,
+    With other friends may part:
+
+  As when o'erloaded branches bear
+    Large clusters big with wine,
+  We scarce regret one falling leaf
+    From the luxuriant vine.
+
+  My short advice to you may sound
+    Obscure or somewhat odd,
+  Though 'tis the best that man can give,--
+    "E'en be content with God."
+
+  Through love he gave you the deceas'd,
+    Through greater took him hence;
+  This reason fully could evince,
+    Though murmur'd at by sense.
+
+  This friend, far past the kindest kind,
+    Is past the greatest great;
+  His greatness let me touch in points
+    Not foreign to your state;
+
+  His eye, this instant, reads your heart;
+    A truth less obvious hear;
+  This instant its most secret thoughts
+    Are sounding in his ear:
+
+  Dispute you this? O! stand in awe,
+    And cease your sorrow; know,
+  That tears now trickling down, he saw
+    Ten thousand years ago;
+
+  And twice ten thousand hence, if you
+    Your temper reconcile
+  To reason's bound, will he behold
+    Your prudence with a smile;
+
+  A smile, which through eternity
+    Diffuses so bright rays,
+  The dimmest deifies e'en guilt,
+    If guilt, at last, obeys:
+
+  Your guilt (for guilt it is to mourn
+    When such a sovereign reigns),
+  Your guilt diminish; peace pursue;
+    How glorious peace in pains!
+
+  Here, then, your sorrows cease; if not,
+    Think how unhappy they,
+  Who guilt increase by streaming tears,
+    Which guilt should wash away;
+
+  Of tears that gush profuse restrain;
+    Whence burst those dismal sighs?
+  They from the throbbing breast of one
+    (Strange truth!) most happy rise;
+
+  Not angels (hear it, and exult!)
+    Enjoy a larger share
+  Than is indulg'd to you, and yours,
+    Of God's impartial care;
+
+  Anxious for each, as if on each
+    His care for all was thrown;
+  For all his care as absolute,
+    As all had been but one.
+
+  And is he then so near! so kind!--
+    How little then, and great,
+  That riddle, man! O! let me gaze
+    At wonders in his fate;
+
+  His fate, who yesterday did crawl
+    A worm from darkness deep,
+  And shall, with brother worms, beneath
+    A turf, to-morrow sleep;
+
+  How mean!--And yet, if well obey'd
+    His mighty Master's call,
+  The whole creation for mean man
+    Is deem'd a boon too small:
+
+  Too small the whole creation deem'd
+    For emmets in the dust!
+  Account amazing! yet most true;
+    My song is bold, yet just:
+
+  Man born for infinite, in whom
+    Nor period can destroy
+  The power, in exquisite extremes,
+    To suffer, or enjoy;
+
+  Give him earth's empire (if no more)
+    He's beggar'd, and undone!
+  Imprison'd in unbounded space!
+    Benighted by the sun!
+
+  For what the sun's meridian blaze
+    To the most feeble ray
+  Which glimmers from the distant dawn
+    Of uncreated day?
+
+  'Tis not the poet's rapture feign'd
+    Swells here the vain to please;
+  The mind most sober kindles most
+    At truths sublime as these;
+
+  They warm e'en me.--I dare not say,
+    Divine ambition strove
+  Not to bless only, but confound,
+    Nay, fright us with its love;
+
+  And yet so frightful what, or kind,
+    As that the rending rock,
+  The darken'd sun, and rising dead,
+    So formidable spoke?
+
+  And are we darker than that sun?
+    Than rocks more hard, and blind?
+  We are;--if not to such a God
+    In agonies resigned.
+
+  Yes, e'en in agonies forbear
+    To doubt almighty love;
+  Whate'er endears eternity,
+    Is mercy from above;
+
+  What most imbitters time, that most
+    Eternity endears,
+  And thus, by plunging in distress,
+    Exalts us to the spheres;
+
+  Joy's fountain head! where bliss o'er bliss,
+    O'er wonders wonders rise,
+  And an Omnipotence prepares
+    Its banquet for the wise:
+
+  Ambrosial banquet! rich in wines
+    Nectareous to the soul!
+  What transports sparkle from the stream,
+    As angels fill the bowl!
+
+  Fountain profuse of every bliss!
+    Good-will immense prevails;
+  Man's line can't fathom its profound
+    An angel's plummet fails.
+
+  Thy love and might, by what they know,
+    Who judge, nor dream of more;
+  They ask a drop, how deep the sea!
+    One sand, how wide the shore!
+
+  Of thy exuberant good-will,
+    Offended Deity!
+  The thousandth part who comprehends,
+    A deity is he.
+
+  How yonder ample azure field
+    With radiant worlds is sown!
+  How tubes astonish us with those
+    More deep in ether thrown!
+
+  And those beyond of brighter worlds
+    Why not a million more?--
+  In lieu of answer, let us all
+    Fall prostrate, and adore.
+
+  Since thou art infinite in power,
+    Nor thy indulgence less;
+  Since man, quite impotent and blind,
+    Oft drops into distress;
+
+  Say, what is resignation? 'T is
+    Man's weakness understood;
+  And wisdom grasping, with a hand
+    Far stronger, every good.
+
+  Let rash repiners stand appall'd,
+    In thee who dare not trust;
+  Whose abject souls, like demons dark,
+    Are murmuring in the dust;
+
+  For man to murmur, or repine
+    At what by thee is done,
+  No less absurd, than to complain
+    Of darkness in the sun.
+
+  Who would not, with a heart at ease,
+    Bright eye, unclouded brow,
+  Wisdom and goodness at the helm,
+    The roughest ocean plough?
+
+  What, though I'm swallow'd in the deep?
+    Though mountains o'er me roar?
+  Jehovah reigns! as Jonah safe,
+    I'm landed, and adore:
+
+  Thy will is welcome, let it wear
+    Its most tremendous form;
+  Roar, waves; rage, winds! I know that thou
+    Canst save me by a storm.
+
+  From the immortal spirits born,
+    To thee, their fountain, flow,
+  If wise; as curl'd around to theirs
+    Meandering streams below:
+
+  Not less compell'd by reason's call,
+    To thee our souls aspire,
+  Than to thy skies, by nature's law,
+    High mounts material fire;
+
+  To thee aspiring they exult,
+    I feel my spirits rise,
+  I feel myself thy son, and pant
+    For patrimonial skies;
+
+  Since ardent thirst of future good,
+    And generous sense of past,
+  To thee man's prudence strongly ties,
+    And binds affection fast;
+
+  Since great thy love, and great our want,
+    And men the wisest blind,
+  And bliss our aim; pronounce us all
+    Distracted, or resigned;
+
+  Resign'd through duty, interest, shame;
+    Deep shame! dare I complain,
+  When (wondrous truth!) in heaven itself
+    Joy ow'd its birth to pain?
+
+  And pain for me! for me was drain'd
+    Gall's overflowing bowl;
+  And shall one drop to murmur bold
+    Provoke my guilty soul?
+
+  If pardon'd this, what cause, what crime
+    Can indignation raise?
+  The sun was lighted up to shine,
+    And man was born to praise;
+
+  And when to praise the man shall cease,
+    Or sun to strike the view;
+  A cloud dishonors both; but man's
+    The blacker of the two:
+
+  For oh! ingratitude how black!
+    With most profound amaze
+  At love, which man belov'd o'erlooks,
+    Astonish'd angels gaze.
+
+  Praise cheers, and warms, like generous wine;
+    Praise, more divine than prayer;
+  Prayer points our ready path to heaven;
+    Praise is already there.
+
+  Let plausive resignation rise,
+    And banish all complaint;
+  All virtues thronging into one,
+    It finishes the saint;
+
+  Makes the man bless'd, as man can be;
+    Life's labours renders light;
+  Darts beams through fate's incumbent gloom,
+    And lights our sun by night;
+
+  'T is nature's brightest ornament,
+    The richest gift of grace,
+  Rival of angels, and supreme
+    Proprietor of peace;
+
+  Nay, peace beyond, no small degree
+    Of rapture 't will impart;
+  Know, madam! when your heart's in heaven,
+    "All heaven is in your heart."
+
+  But who to heaven their hearts can raise?
+    Denied divine support,
+  All virtue dies; support divine
+    The wise with ardour court:
+
+  When prayer partakes the seraph's fire,
+    'T is mounted on his wing,
+  Bursts thro' heaven's crystal gates, and
+    Sure audience of its king:
+
+  The labouring soul from sore distress
+    That bless'd expedient frees;
+  I see you far advanc'd in peace;
+    I see you on your knees:
+
+  How on that posture has the beam
+    Divine for ever shone!
+  An humble heart, God's other seat!(58)
+    The rival of his throne:
+
+  And stoops Omnipotence so low!
+    And condescends to dwell,
+  Eternity's inhabitant,
+    Well pleas'd, in such a cell?
+
+  Such honour how shall we repay?
+    How treat our guest divine?
+  The sacrifice supreme be slain!
+    Let self-will die: resign.
+
+  Thus far, at large, on our disease;
+    Now let the cause be shown,
+  Whence rises, and will ever rise,
+    The dismal human groan:
+
+  What our sole fountain of distress?
+    Strong passion for this scene;
+  That trifles make important, things
+    Of mighty moment mean:
+
+  When earth's dark maxims poison shed
+    On our polluted souls,
+  Our hearts and interests fly as far
+    Asunder, as the poles.
+
+  Like princes in a cottage nurs'd,
+    Unknown their royal race,
+  With abject aims, and sordid joys,
+    Our grandeur we disgrace;
+
+  O! for an Archimedes new,
+    Of moral powers possess'd,
+  The world to move, and quite expel
+    That traitor from the breast.
+
+  No small advantage may be reap'd
+    From thought whence we descend;
+  From weighing well, and prizing weigh'd
+    Our origin, and end:
+
+  From far above the glorious sun
+    To this dim scene we came:
+  And may, if wise, for ever bask
+    In great Jehovah's beam:
+
+  Let that bright beam on reason rous'd
+    In awful lustre rise,
+  Earth's giant ills are dwarf'd at once,
+    And all disquiet dies.
+
+  Earth's glories too their splendour lose,
+    Those phantoms charm no more;
+  Empire's a feather for a fool,
+    And Indian mines are poor:
+
+  Then levell'd quite, whilst yet alive,
+    The monarch and his slave;
+  Not wait enlighten'd minds to learn
+    That lesson from the grave:
+
+  A George the Third would then be low
+    As Lewis in renown,
+  Could he not boast of glory more
+    Than sparkles from a crown.
+
+  When human glory rises high
+    As human glory can;
+  When, though the king is truly great,
+    Still greater is the man;
+
+  The man is dead, where virtue fails;
+    And though the monarch proud
+  In grandeur shines, his gorgeous robe
+    Is but a gaudy shroud.
+
+  Wisdom! where art thou? None on earth,
+    Though grasping wealth, fame, power,
+  But what, O death! through thy approach,
+    Is wiser every hour;
+
+  Approach how swift, how unconfin'd!
+    Worms feast on viands rare,
+  Those little epicures have kings
+    To grace their bill of fare:
+
+  From kings what resignation due
+    To that almighty will,
+  Which thrones bestows, and, when they fail,
+    Can throne them higher still!
+
+  Who truly great? The good and brave,
+    The masters of a mind
+  The will divine to do resolv'd,
+    To suffer it resign'd.
+
+  Madam! if that may give it weight,
+    The trifle you receive
+  Is dated from a solemn scene,
+    The border of the grave;
+
+  Where strongly strikes the trembling soul
+    Eternity's dread power,
+  As bursting on it through the thin
+    Partition of an hour;
+
+  Hear this, Voltaire! but this, from me,
+    Runs hazard of your frown;
+  However, spare it; ere you die,
+    Such thoughts will be your own.
+
+  In mercy to yourself forbear
+    My notions to chastise,
+  Lest unawares the gay Voltaire
+    Should blame Voltaire the wise:
+
+  Fame's trumpet rattling in your ear,
+    Now, makes us disagree;
+  When a far louder trumpet sounds,
+    Voltaire will close with me:
+
+  How shocking is that modesty,
+    Which keeps some honest men
+  From urging what their hearts suggest,
+    When brav'd by folly's pen.
+
+  Assaulting truths, of which in all
+    Is sown the sacred seed!
+  Our constitution's orthodox,
+    And closes with our creed:
+
+  What then are they, whose proud conceits
+    Superior wisdom boast?
+  Wretches, who fight their own belief,
+    And labour to be lost!
+
+  Though vice by no superior joys
+    Her heroes keeps in pay;
+  Through pure disinterested love
+    Of ruin they obey!
+
+  Strict their devotion to the wrong,
+    Though tempted by no prize;
+  Hard their commandments, and their creed
+    A magazine of lies
+
+  From fancy's forge: gay fancy smiles
+    At reason plain, and cool;
+  Fancy, whose curious trade it is
+    To make the finest fool.
+
+  Voltaire! long life's the greatest curse
+    That mortals can receive,
+  When they imagine the chief end
+    Of living is to live;
+
+  Quite thoughtless of their day of death,
+    That birthday of their sorrow!
+  Knowing, it may be distant far,
+    Nor crush them till--to-morrow.
+
+  These are cold, northern thoughts, conceiv'd
+    Beneath an humble cot;
+  Not mine, your genius, or your state,
+    No castle is my lot:(59)
+
+  But soon, quite level shall we lie;
+    And, what pride most bemoans,
+  Our parts, in rank so distant now,
+    As level as our bones;
+
+  Hear you that sound? Alarming sound!
+    Prepare to meet your fate!
+  One, who writes finis to our works,
+    Is knocking at the gate;
+
+  Far other works will soon be weigh'd;
+    Far other judges sit;
+  Far other crowns be lost or won,
+    Than fire ambitious wit:
+
+  Their wit far brightest will be prov'd,
+    Who sunk it in good sense;
+  And veneration most profound
+    Of dread omnipotence.
+
+  'Tis that alone unlocks the gate
+    Of blest eternity;
+  O! mayst thou never, never lose
+    That more than golden key!(60)
+
+  Whate'er may seem too rough excuse,
+    Your good I have at heart:
+  Since from my soul I wish you well;
+    As yet we must not part:
+
+  Shall you, and I, in love with life,
+    Life's future schemes contrive,
+  The world in wonder not unjust,
+    That we are still alive?
+
+  What have we left? How mean in man
+    A shadow's shade to crave!
+  When life, so vain! is vainer still,
+    'Tis time to take your leave:
+
+  Happier, than happiest life, is death,
+    Who, falling in the field
+  Of conflict with his rebel will,
+    Writes vici, on his shield;
+
+  So falling man, immortal heir
+    Of an eternal prize;
+  Undaunted at the gloomy grave,
+    Descends into the skies.
+
+  O! how disorder'd our machine,
+    When contradictions mix!
+  When nature strikes no less than twelve,
+    And folly points at six!
+
+  To mend the moments of your heart,
+    How great is my delight
+  Gently to wind your morals up,
+    And set your hand aright!
+
+  That hand, which spread your wisdom wide
+    To poison distant lands:
+  Repent, recant; the tainted age
+    Your antidote demands;
+
+  To Satan dreadfully resign'd,
+    Whole herds rush down the steep
+  Of folly, by lewd wits possess'd,
+    And perish in the deep.
+
+  Men's praise your vanity pursues;
+    'Tis well, pursue it still;
+  But let it be of men deceas'd,
+    And you'll resign the will;
+
+  And how superior they to those
+    At whose applause you aim;
+  How very far superior they
+    In number, and in name!
+
+
+
+
+                               Postscript.
+
+
+  Thus have I written, when to write
+    No mortal should presume;
+  Or only write, what none can blame,
+    Hic jacet--for his tomb:
+
+  The public frowns, and censures loud
+    My puerile employ;
+  Though just the censure, if you smile,
+    The scandal I enjoy;
+
+  But sing no more--no more I sing
+    Or reassume the lyre,
+  Unless vouchsaf'd an humble part
+    Where Raphael leads the choir:
+
+  What myriads swell the concert loud!
+    Their golden harps resound
+  High as the footstool of the throne,
+    And deep as hell profound:
+
+  Hell (horrid contrast!) chord and song
+    Of raptur'd angels drowns
+  In self-will's peal of blasphemies,
+    And hideous burst of groans;
+
+  But drowns them not to me; I hear
+    Harmonious thunders roll
+  (In language low of men to speak)
+    From echoing pole to pole!
+
+  Whilst this grand chorus shakes the skies--
+    "Above, beneath the sun,
+  Through boundless age, by men, by gods,
+    Jehovah's will be done!"
+
+  'Tis done in heaven; whence headlong hurl'd
+    Self-will with Satan fell;
+  And must from earth be banish'd too,
+    Or earth's another hell;
+
+  Madam! self-will inflicts your pains:
+    Self-will's the deadly foe
+  Which deepens all the dismal shades,
+    And points the shafts of woe:
+
+  Your debt to nature fully paid,
+    Now virtue claims her due:
+  But virtue's cause I need not plead,
+    'Tis safe; I write to you:
+
+  You know, that virtue's basis lies
+    In ever judging right;
+  And wiping error's clouds away,
+    Which dim the mental sight:
+
+  Why mourn the dead? you wrong the grave,
+    From storm that safe resort;
+  We still are tossing out at sea,
+    Our admiral in port.
+
+  Was death denied, this world, a scene
+    How dismal and forlorn!
+  To death we owe, that 'tis to man
+    A blessing to be born;
+
+  When every other blessing fails,
+    Or sapp'd by slow decay,
+  Or, storm'd by sudden blasts of fate,
+    Is swiftly whirl'd away;
+
+  How happy! that no storm, or time,
+    Of death can rob the just!
+  None pluck from their unaching heads
+    Soft pillows in the dust!
+
+  Well pleas'd to bear heaven's darkest frown,
+    Your utmost power employ;
+  'Tis noble chemistry to turn
+    Necessity to joy.
+
+  Whate'er the colour of my fate,
+    My fate shall be my choice:
+  Determin'd am I, whilst I breathe,
+    To praise and to rejoice;
+
+  What ample cause! triumphant hope!
+    O rich eternity!
+  I start not at a world in flames,
+    Charm'd with one glimpse of thee:
+
+  And thou! its great inhabitant!
+    How glorious dost thou shine!
+  And dart through sorrow, danger, death,
+    A beam of joy divine!
+
+  The void of joy (with some concern
+    The truth severe I tell)
+  Is an impenitent in guilt,
+    A fool or infidel!
+
+  Weigh this, ye pupils of Voltaire!
+    From joyless murmur free;
+  Or, let us know, which character
+    Shall crown you of the three.
+
+  Resign, resign: this lesson none
+    Too deeply can instill;
+  A crown has been resign'd by more,
+    Than have resign'd the will;
+
+  Though will resign'd the meanest makes
+    Superior in renown,
+  And richer in celestial eyes,
+    Than he who wears a crown;
+
+  Hence, in the bosom cold of age,
+    It kindled a strange aim
+  To shine in song; and bid me boast
+    The grandeur of my theme:
+
+  But oh! how far presumption falls
+    Its lofty theme below!
+  Our thoughts in life's December freeze,
+    And numbers cease to flow.
+
+  First! greatest! best! grant what I wrote
+    For others, ne'er may rise
+  To brand the writer! thou alone
+    Canst make our wisdom wise;
+
+  And how unwise! how deep in guilt!
+    How infamous the fault!
+  "A teacher thron'd in pomp of words,
+    Indeed, beneath the taught!"
+
+  Means most infallible to make
+    The world an infidel;
+  And, with instructions most divine,
+    To pave a path to hell;
+
+  O! for a clean and ardent heart,
+    O! for a soul on fire,
+  Thy praise, begun on earth, to sound
+    Where angels string the lyre;
+
+  How cold is man! to him how hard
+    (Hard, what most easy seems)
+  "To set a just esteem on that,
+    Which yet he--most esteems!"
+
+  What shall we say, when boundless bliss
+    Is offer'd to mankind,
+  And to that offer when a race
+    Of rationals is blind?
+
+  Of human nature ne'er too high
+    Are our ideas wrought;
+  Of human merit ne'er too low
+    Depress'd the daring thought.

+
+   ON THE LATE QUEEN'S DEATH, AND HIS MAJESTY'S ACCESSION TO THE THRONE
+
+
+  Inscribed to Joseph Addison, Esq. Secretary to Their Excellencies the
+                             Lords Justices.
+
+
+      Gaudia curis.
+
+                                                                 --HOR.
+
+
+  Sir, I have long, and with impatience, sought
+  To ease the fulness of my grateful thought,
+  My fame at once, and duty to pursue,
+  And please the public, by respect to you.
+    Though you, long since beyond Britannia known,
+  Have spread your country's glory with your own;
+  To me you never did more lovely shine,
+  Than when so late the kindled wrath divine
+  Quench'd our ambition, in great Anna's fate,
+  And darken'd all the pomp of human state.
+  Though you are rich in fame, and fame decay,
+  Though rais'd in life, and greatness fade away,
+  Your lustre brightens: virtue cuts the gloom
+  With purer rays, and sparkles near a tomb.
+    Know, sir, the great esteem and honour due,
+  I chose that moment to profess to you,
+  When sadness reign'd, when fortune, so severe,
+  Had warm'd our bosoms to be most sincere.
+  And when no motives could have force to raise
+  A serious value, and provoke my praise,
+  But such as rise above, and far transcend,
+  Whatever glories with this world shall end,
+  Then shining forth, when deepest shades shall blot
+  The sun's bright orb, and Cato be forgot.
+  I sing--but ah! my theme I need not tell,
+  See every eye with conscious sorrow swell:
+  Who now to verse would raise his humble voice,
+  Can only show his duty, not his choice.
+  How great the weight of grief our hearts sustain!
+  We languish, and to speak is to complain.
+    Let us look back, (for who too oft can view
+  That most illustrious scene, for ever new!)
+  See all the seasons shine on Anna's throne,
+  And pay a constant tribute, not their own.
+  Her summer's heats nor fruits alone bestow,
+  They reap the harvest, and subdue the foe;
+  And when black storms confess the distant sun,
+  Her winters wear the wreaths her summers won.
+  Revolving pleasures in their turns appear,
+  And triumphs are the product of the year.
+  To crown the whole, great joys in greater cease,
+  And glorious victory is lost in peace.
+    Whence this profusion on our favour'd isle?
+  Did partial fortune on our virtue smile?
+  Or did the sceptre, in great Anna's hand,
+  Stretch forth this rich indulgence o'er our land?
+  Ungrateful Britain! quit thy groundless claim,
+  Thy queen and thy good fortune are the same.
+    Hear, with alarms our trumpets fill the sky;
+  'Tis Anna reigns! the Gallic squadrons fly.
+  We spread our canvass to the southern shore;
+  'Tis Anna reigns! the south resigns her store.
+  Her virtue smooths the tumult of the main,
+  And swells the field with mountains of the slain
+  Argyll and Churchill but the glory share,
+  While millions lie subdu'd by Anna's prayer.
+    How great her zeal! how fervent her desire!
+  How did her soul in holy warmth expire!
+  Constant devotion did her time divide,
+  Not set returns of pleasure or of pride.
+  Not want of rest, or the sun's parting ray,
+  But finish'd duty, limited the day.
+  How sweet succeeding sleep! what lovely themes
+  Smil'd in her thoughts, and soften'd all her dreams!
+  Her royal couch descending angels spread,
+  And join'd their wings a shelter o'er her head.
+    Though Europe's wealth and glory claim'd a part,
+  Religion's cause reign'd mistress of her heart:
+  She saw, and griev'd to see, the mean estate
+  Of those who round the hallow'd altar wait;
+  She shed her bounty, piously profuse,
+  And thought it more her own in sacred use.
+    Thus on his furrow see the tiller stand,
+  And fill with genial seed his lavish hand;
+  He trusts the kindness of the fruitful plain,
+  And providently scatters all his grain.
+    What strikes my sight? does proud Augusta rise
+  New to behold, and awfully surprise!
+  Her lofty brow more numerous turrets crown,
+  And sacred domes on palaces look down:
+  A noble pride of piety is shown,
+  And temples cast a lustre on the throne.
+  How would this work another's glory raise!
+  But Anna's greatness robs her of the praise.
+  Drown'd in a brighter blaze it disappears,
+  Who dried the widow's and the orphan's tears?
+  Who stoop'd from high to succour the distrest
+  And reconcile the wounded heart to rest?
+  Great in her goodness, well could we perceive,
+  Whoever sought, it was a queen that gave.
+  Misfortune lost her name, her guiltless frown
+  But made another debtor to the crown;
+  And each unfriendly stroke from fate we bore,
+  Became our title to the regal store.
+    Thus injur'd trees adopt a foreign shoot,
+  And their wounds blossom with a fairer fruit.
+    Ye numbers, who on your misfortunes thriv'd,
+  When first the dreadful blast of fame arriv'd,
+  Say what a shock, what agonies you felt,
+  How did your souls with tender anguish melt!
+  That grief which living Anna's love suppress'd,
+  Shook like a tempest every grateful breast,
+  A second fate our sinking fortunes tried!
+  A second time our tender parents died!
+    Heroes returning from the field we crown,
+  And deify the haughty victor's frown.
+  His splendid wealth too rashly we admire,
+  Catch the disease, and burn with equal fire:
+  Wisely to spend, is the great art of gain;
+  And one reliev'd transcends a million slain.
+  When time shall ask, where once Ramillia lay,
+  Or Danube flow'd that swept whole troops away,
+  One drop of water, that refresh'd the dry,
+  Shall rise a fountain of eternal joy.
+    But ah! to that unknown and distant date
+  Is virtue's great reward push'd off by fate;
+  Here random shafts in every breast are found,
+  Virtue and merit but provoke the wound.
+  August in native worth and regal state,
+  Anna sate arbitress of Europe's fate;
+  To distant realms did every accent fly,
+  And nations watch'd each motion of her eye.
+  Silent, nor longer awful to be seen,
+  How small a spot contains the mighty queen!
+  No throng of suppliant princes mark the place,
+  Where Britain's greatness is compos'd in peace:
+  The broken earth is scarce discern'd to rise,
+  And a stone tells us where the monarch lies.
+    Thus end maturest honours of the crown!
+  This is the last conclusion of renown!
+    So when with idle skill the wanton boy
+  Breathes through his tube; he sees, with eager joy,
+  The trembling bubble, in its rising small;
+  And by degrees expands the glittering ball.
+  But when, to full perfection blown, it flies
+  High in the air, and shines in various dyes,
+  The little monarch, with a falling tear,
+  Sees his world burst at once, and disappear,
+  'Tis not in sorrow to reverse our doom,
+  No groans unlock th' inexorable tomb!
+  Why then this fond indulgence of our woe!
+  What fruit can rise, or what advantage flow!
+  Yes, this advantage; from our deep distress
+  We learn how much in George the gods can bless
+  Had a less glorious princess left the throne,
+  But half the hero had at first been shown:
+  An Anna falling all the king employs,
+  To vindicate from guilt our rising joys:
+  Our joys arise and innocently shine,
+  Auspicious monarch! what a praise is thine!
+    Welcome, great stranger, to Britannia's throne!
+  Nor let thy country think thee all her own.
+  Of thy delay how oft did we complain!
+  Our hopes reach'd out, and met thee on the main.
+  With prayer we smooth the billows for thy fleet;
+  With ardent wishes fill thy swelling sheet;
+  And when thy foot took place on Albion's shore,
+  We bending bless'd the gods, and ask'd no more.
+  What hand but thine should conquer and compose,
+  Join those whom interest joins, and chase our foes?
+  Repel the daring youth's presumptuous aim,
+  And by his rival's greatness give him fame?
+  Now in some foreign court he may sit down,
+  And quit without a blush the British crown.
+  Secure his honour, though he lose his store,
+  And take a lucky moment to be poor.
+    Nor think, great sir, now first, at this late hour,
+  In Britain's favour, you exert your power;
+  To us, far back in time, I joy to trace
+  The numerous tokens of your princely grace.
+  Whether you chose to thunder on the Rhine,
+  Inspire grave councils, or in courts to shine;
+  In the more scenes your genius was display'd,
+  The greater debt was on Britannia laid:
+  They all conspir'd this mighty man to raise,
+  And your new subjects proudly share the praise.
+    All share; but may not we have leave to boast
+  That we contemplate, and enjoy it most?
+  This ancient nurse of arts, indulged by fate
+  On gentle Isis' bank, a calm retreat;
+  For many roiling ages justly fam'd,
+  Has through the world her loyalty proclaim'd;
+  And often pour'd (too well the truth is known!)
+  Her blood and treasure to support the throne!
+  For England's church her latest accents strain'd;
+  And freedom with his dying hand retain'd.
+  No wonder then her various ranks agree
+  In all the fervencies of zeal for thee.
+    What though thy birth a distant kingdom boast,
+  And seas divide thee from the British coast?
+  The crown's impatient to enclose thy head:
+  Why stay thy feet? the cloth of gold is spread.
+  Our strict obedience through the world shall tell
+  That king's a Briton, who can govern well!
+

+  Which hovering o'er, your purple wings display,
+  Lur'd by the pomp of this distinguish'd day,
+  Stoop, and attend: by one, the knee be bound;
+  One, throw the mantle's crimson folds around;
+  By that, the sword on his proud thigh be plac'd;
+  This, clasp the diamond girdle round his waist;
+  His breast, with rays, let just Godolphin spread;
+  Wise Burleigh plant the plumage on his head;
+  And Edward own, since first he fix'd the race,
+  None press'd fair glory with a swifter pace.
+    When fate would call some mighty genius forth
+  To wake a drooping age to godlike worth,
+  Or aid some favourite king's illustrious toil,
+  It bids his blood with generous ardour boil;
+  His blood, from virtue's celebrated source,
+  Pour'd down the steep of time, a lengthen'd course;
+  That men prepar'd may just attention pay,
+  Warn'd by the dawn to mark the glorious day,
+  When all the scatter'd merits of his line
+  Collected to a point, intensely shine.
+  See, Britain, see thy Walpole shine from far,
+  His azure ribbon, and his radiant star;
+  A star that, with auspicious beams, shall guide
+  Thy vessel safe, through fortune's roughest tide.
+    If peace still smiles, by this shall commerce steer
+  A finish'd course, in triumph round the sphere;
+  And, gathering tribute from each distant shore,
+  In Britain's lap the world's abundance pour.
+    If war's ordain'd, this star shall dart its beams
+  Through that black cloud which, rising from the Thames,
+  With thunder, form'd of Brunswick's wrath, is sent
+  To claim the seas, and awe the continent.
+  This shall direct it where the bolt to throw,
+  A star for us, a comet to the foe.
+    At this the muse shall kindle, and aspire:
+  My breast, O Walpole, glows with grateful fire.
+  The streams of royal bounty, turn'd by thee,
+  Refresh the dry domains of poesy.
+  My fortune shows, when arts are Walpole's care,
+  What slender worth forbids us to despair:
+  Be this thy partial smile from censure free;
+  'Twas meant for merit, though it fell on me.
+    Since Brunswick's smile has authoris'd my muse,
+  Chaste be her conduct, and sublime her views.
+  False praises are the whoredoms of the pen,
+  Which prostitute fair fame to worthless men:
+  This profanation of celestial fire
+  Makes fools despise, what wise men should admire.
+  Let those I praise to distant times be known,
+  Not by their author's merit, but their own.
+  If others think the task is hard, to weed
+  From verse rank flattery's vivacious seed,
+  And rooted deep; one means must set them free,
+  Patron! and patriot! let them sing of thee.
+    While vulgar trees ignobler honours wear,
+  Nor those retain, when winter chills the year;
+  The generous orange, favourite of the sun,
+  With vigorous charms can through the seasons run;
+  Defies the storm with her tenacious green;
+  And flowers and fruits in rival pomp are seen:
+  Where blossoms fall, still fairer blossoms spring;
+  And midst their sweets the feather'd poets sing.
+    On Walpole, thus, may pleas'd Britannia view
+  At once her ornament and profit too;
+  The fruit of service, and the bloom of fame,
+  Matur'd and gilded by the royal beam.
+  He, when the nipping blasts of envy rise
+  Its guilt can pity, and its rage despise;
+  Lets fall no honours, but, securely great,
+  Unfaded holds the colour of his fate:
+  No winter knows, though ruffling factions press;
+  By wisdom deeply rooted in success;
+  One glory shed, a brighter is display'd;(61)
+  And the charm'd muses shelter in his shade.
+    O how I long, enkindled by the theme,
+  In deep eternity to launch thy name!
+  Thy name in view, no rights of verse I plead,
+  But what chaste truth indites, old time shall read.
+  "Behold! a man of ancient faith and blood,
+  Which, soon, beat high for arts, and public good;
+  Whose glory great, but natural appears,
+  The genuine growth of services and years;
+  No sudden exhalation drawn on high,
+  And fondly gilt by partial majesty:
+  One bearing greatest toils with greatest ease,
+  One born to serve us, and yet born to please:
+  Whom, while our rights in equal scales he lays,
+  The prince may trust, and yet the people praise;
+  His genius ardent, yet his judgment clear,
+  His tongue is flowing, and his heart sincere,
+  His counsel guides, his temper cheers our isle,
+  And, smiling, gives three kingdoms cause to smile."
+    Joy then to Britain, blest with such a son,
+  To Walpole joy, by whom the prize is won;
+  Who nobly conscious meets the smiles of fate;
+  True greatness lies in daring to be great.
+  Let dastard souls, or affectation, run
+  To shades, nor wear bright honours fairly won;
+  Such men prefer, misled by false applause,
+  The pride of modesty to virtue's cause.
+  Honours, which make the face of virtue fair,
+  'Tis great to merit, and 'tis wise to wear;
+  'Tis holding up the prize to public view,
+  Confirms grown virtue, and inflames the new;
+  Heightens the lustre of our age and clime,
+  And sheds rich seeds of worth for future time.
+    Proud chiefs alone, in fields of slaughter fam'd,
+  Of old, this azure bloom of glory claim'd,
+  As when stern Ajax pour'd a purple flood,
+  The violet rose, fair daughter of his blood.
+  Now rival wisdom dares the wreath divide,
+  And both Minervas rise in equal pride;
+  Proclaiming loud, a monarch fills the throne,
+  Who shines illustrious not in wars alone.
+    Let fame look lovely in Britannia's eyes;
+  They coldly court desert, who fame despise.
+  For what's ambition, but fair virtue's sail?
+  And what applause, but her propitious gale?
+  When swell'd with that, she fleets before the wind
+  To glorious aims, as to the port design'd;
+  When chain'd, without it, to the labouring oar,
+  She toils! she pants! nor gains the flying shore,
+  From her sublime pursuits, or turn'd aside
+  By blasts of envy, or by fortune's tide:
+  For one that has succeeded ten are lost,
+  Of equal talents, ere they make the coast.
+    Then let renown to worth divine incite,
+  With all her beams, but throw those beams aright.
+  Then merit droops, and genius downward tends,
+  When godlike glory, like our land, descends.
+  Custom the garter long confin'd to few,
+  And gave to birth, exalted virtue's due:
+  Walpole has thrown the proud enclosure down;
+  And high desert embraces fair renown.
+  Though rival'd, let the peerage smiling see
+  (Smiling, in justice to their own degree)
+  This proud reward by majesty bestow'd
+  On worth like that whence first the peerage flow'd.
+  From frowns of fate Britannia's bliss'd to guard,
+  Let subjects merit, and let kings reward.
+  Gods are most gods by giving to excel,
+  And kings most like them, by rewarding well.
+    Though strong the twanging nerve, and drawn aright,
+  Short is the winged arrow's upward flight;
+  But if an eagle it transfix on high,
+  Lodg'd in the wound, it soars into the sky.
+
+  Thus while I sing thee with unequal lays,
+  And wound perhaps that worth I mean to praise;
+  Yet I transcend myself, I rise in fame,
+  Not lifted by my genius, but my theme.
+    No more: for in this dread suspense of fate,
+  Now kingdoms fluctuate, and in dark debate
+  Weigh peace and war, now Europe's eyes are bent
+  On mighty Brunswick, for the great event,
+  Brunswick of kings the terror or defence!
+  Who dares detain thee at a world's expense?
+
+
+

+
+           AND EPISTLE TO THE RIGHT HON. GEORGE LORD LANSDOWNE.
+
+
+                                  1712.
+
+
+                            Parnassia laurus
+      Parva sub ingenti matris se subjicit umbra.
+
+                                                                --VIRG.
+
+
+  When Rome, my lord, in her full glory shone,
+  And great Augustus rul'd the globe alone,
+  While suppliant kings in all their pomp and state
+  Swarm'd in his courts, and throng'd his palace gate;
+  Horace did oft the mighty man detain,
+  And sooth'd his breast with no ignoble strain;
+  Now soar'd aloft, now struck an humbler string;
+  And taught the Roman genius how to sing.
+    Pardon, if I his freedom dare pursue,
+  Who know no want of C�sar, finding you;
+  The muse's friend is pleas'd the muse should press
+  Through circling crowds, and labor for access,
+  That partial to his darling he may prove,
+  And shining throngs for her reproach remove,
+  To all the world industrious to proclaim
+  His love of arts, and boast the glorious flame.
+    Long has the western world reclin'd her head,
+  Pour'd forth her sorrow, and bewail'd her dead;
+  Fell discord through her borders fiercely rang'd,
+  And shook her nations, and her monarchs chang'd;
+  By land and sea, its utmost rage employ'd;
+  Nor heaven repair'd so fast as men destroy'd.
+  In vain kind summers plentuous fields bestow'd,
+  In vain the vintage liberally flow'd;
+  Alarms from loaden boards all pleasures chas'd,
+  And robb'd the rich Burgundian grape of taste;
+  The smiles of Nature could no blessing bring,
+  The fruitful autumn, or the flowery spring;
+  Time was distinguish'd by the sword and spear,
+  Not by the various aspects of the year;
+  The trumpet's sound proclaim'd a milder sky,
+  And bloodshed told us when the sun was nigh.
+    But now (so soon is Britain's blessing seen,
+  When such as you are near her glorious queen!)
+  Now peace, though long repuls'd, arrives at last,
+  And bids us smile on all our labours past;
+  Bids every nation cease her wonted moan,
+  And every monarch call his crown his own:
+  To valour gentler virtues now succeed;
+  No longer is the great man born to bleed;
+  Renown'd in councils, brave Argyle shall tell,
+  Wisdom and prowess in one breast may dwell:
+  Through milder tracts he soars to deathless fame,
+  And without trembling we resound his name.
+    No more the rising harvest whets the sword,
+  No longer waves uncertain of its lord;
+  Who cast the seed, the golden sheaf shall claim,
+  Nor chance of battle change the master's name.
+  Each stream unstain'd with blood more smoothly flows;
+  The brighter sun a fuller day bestows;
+  All nature seems to wear a cheerful face,
+  And thank great Anna for returning peace.
+    The patient thus, when on his bed of pain,
+  No longer he invokes the gods in vain,
+  But rises to new life; in every field
+  He finds Elysium, rivers nectar yield;
+  Nothing so cheap and vulgar but can please,
+  And borrow beauties from his late disease.
+    Nor is it peace alone, but such a peace,
+  As more than bids the rage of battle cease.
+  Death may determine war, and rest succeed,
+  'Cause nought survives on which our rage may feed:
+  In faithful friends we lose our glorious foes,
+  And strifes of love exalt our sweet repose.
+  See graceful Bolingbroke, your friend, advance,
+  Nor miss his Lansdowne in the court of France;
+  So well receiv'd, so welcome, so at home,
+  (Blest change of fate,) in Bourbon's stately dome;
+  The monarch pleas'd, descending from his throne,
+  Will not that Anna call him all her own;
+  He claims a part, and looking round to find
+  Something might speak the fulness of his mind,
+  A diamond shines, which oft had touch'd him near,
+  Renew'd his grief, and robb'd him of a tear;
+  Now first with joy beheld, well plac'd on one,
+  Who makes him less regret his darling son;
+  So dear is Anna's minister, so great,
+  Your glorious friend in his own private state.
+    To make our nations longer two, in vain
+  Does nature interpose the raging main:
+  The Gallic shore to distant Britain grows,
+  For Lewis Thames, the Seine for Anna flows:
+  From conflicts pass'd each other's worth we find,
+  And thence in stricter friendship now are join'd;
+  Each wound receiv'd, now pleads the cause of love,
+  And former injuries endearments prove.
+  What Briton but must prize th' illustrious sword,
+  That cause of fear to Churchill could afford?
+  Who sworn to Bourbon's sceptre, but must frame
+  Vast thoughts of him, that could brave Tallard tame?
+  Thus generous hatred in affection ends,
+  And war, which rais'd the foes, completes the friends.
+  A thousand happy consequences flow
+  (The dazzling prospect makes my bosom glow);
+  Commerce shall lift her swelling sails, and roll
+  Her wealthy fleets secure from pole to pole;
+  The British merchant, who with care and pain
+  For many moons sees only skies and main;
+  When now in view of his loved native shore,
+  The perils of the dreadful ocean o'er,
+  Cause to regret his wealth no more shall find,
+  Nor curse the mercy of the sea and wind;
+  By hardest fate condemn'd to serve a foe,
+  And give him strength to strike a deeper blow.
+  Sweet Philomela providently flies
+  To distant woods and streams, for such supplies,
+  To feed her young, and make them try the wing,
+  And with their tender notes attempt to sing:
+  Meanwhile, the fowler spreads his secret snare,
+  And renders vain the tuneful mother's care.
+  Britannia's bold adventurer of late
+  The foaming ocean plow'd with equal fate.
+    Goodness is greatness in its utmost height,
+  And power a curse, if not a friend to right:
+  To conquer is to make dissension cease,
+  That man may serve the King of kings in peace.
+  Religion now shall all her rays dispense,
+  And shine abroad in perfect excellence;
+  Else we may dread some greater curse at hand,
+  To scourge a thoughtless and ungrateful land:
+  Now war is weary, and retir'd to rest;
+  The meagre famine, and the spotted pest,
+  Deputed in her stead, may blast the day,
+  And sweep the relics of the sword away.
+    When peaceful Numa fill'd the Roman throne,
+  Jove in the fulness of his glory shone;
+  Wise Solomon, a stranger to the sword,
+  Was born to raise a temple to the Lord.
+  Anne too shall build, and every sacred pile
+  Speak peace eternal to Britannia's isle.
+  Those mighty souls, whom military care
+  Diverted from their only great affair,
+  Shall bend their full united force, to bless
+  Th' Almighty Author of their late success.
+  And what is all the world subdued to this?
+  The grave sets bounds to sublunary bliss;
+  But there are conquests to great Anna known,
+  Above the splendour of an earthly throne;
+  Conquests! whose triumph is too great, within
+  The scanty bounds of matter to begin;
+  Too glorious to shine forth, till it has run
+  Beyond this darkness of the stars and sun,
+  And shall whole ages past be still, still but begun.
+    Heroic shades! whom war has swept away,
+  Look down, and smile on this auspicious day:
+  Now boast your deaths; to those your glory tell,
+  Who or at Agincourt or Cressy fell;
+  Then deep into eternity retire,
+  Of greater things than peace or war inquire;
+  Fully content, and unconcern'd, to know
+  What farther passes in the world below.
+    The bravest of mankind shall now have leave
+  To die but once, nor piece-meal seek the grave:
+  On gain or pleasure bent, we shall not meet
+  Sad melancholy numbers in each street
+  (Owners of bones dispers'd on Flandria's plain,
+  Or wasting in the bottom of the main);
+  To turn us back from joy, in tender fear,
+  Lest it an insult of their woes appear,
+  And make us grudge ourselves that wealth, their blood
+  Perhaps preserv'd, who starve, or beg for food.
+  Devotion shall run pure, and disengage
+  From that strange fate of mixing peace with rage.
+  On heaven without a sin we now may call,
+  And guiltless to our Maker prostrate fall;
+  Be Christians while we pray, nor in one breath
+  Ask mercy for ourselves, for others death.
+    But O! I view with transport arts restor'd,
+  Which double use to Britain shall afford;
+  Secure her glory purchas'd in the field,
+  And yet for future peace sweet motives yield:
+  While we contemplate on the painted wall,
+  The pressing Briton, and the flying Gaul,
+  In such bright images, such living grace,
+  As leave great Raphael but the second place;
+  Our cheeks shall glow, our heaving bosoms rise,
+  And martial ardours sparkle in our eyes;
+  Much we shall triumph in our battles past,
+  And yet consent those battles prove our last;
+  Lest, while in arms for brighter fame we strive,
+  We lose the means to keep that fame alive.
+    In silent groves the birds delight to sing,
+  Or near the margin of a secret spring:
+  Now all is calm, sweet music shall improve,
+  Nor kindle rage, but be the nurse of love.
+    But what's the warbling voice, the trembling string,
+  Or breathing canvass, when the muses sing?
+  The muse, my lord, your care above the rest,
+  With rising joy dilates my partial breast;
+  The thunder of the battle ceas'd to roar,
+  Ere Greece her godlike poets taught to soar;
+  Rome's dreadful foe, great Hannibal, was dead,
+  And all her warlike neighbours round her bled;
+  For Janus shut, her I� P�ans rung,
+  Before an Ovid or a Virgil sung.
+    A thousand various forms the muse may wear,
+  (A thousand various forms become the fair;)
+  But shines in none with more majestic mien,
+  Than when in state she draws the purple scene;
+  Calls forth her monarchs, bids her heroes rage,
+  And mourning beauty melt the crowded stage;
+  Charms back past ages, gives to Britain's use
+  The noblest virtues time did e'er produce;
+  Leaves fam'd historians' boasted art behind;
+  They keep the soul alone, and that's confin'd,
+  Sought out with pains, and but by proxy speaks
+  The hero's presence deep impression makes;
+  The scenes his soul and body reunite,
+  Furnish a voice, produce him to the sight;
+  Make our contemporary him that stood
+  High in renown, perhaps before the flood;
+  Make Nestor to this age advice afford,
+  And Hector for our service draw his sword.
+    More glory to an author what can bring,
+  Whence nobler service to his country spring,
+  Than from those labours, which, in man's despight,
+  Possess him with a passion for the right?
+  With honest magic make the knave inclin'd
+  To pay devotion to the virtuous mind;
+  Through all her toils and dangers bid him rove,
+  And with her wants and anguish fall in love?
+    Who hears the godlike Montezuma groan,
+  And does not wish the glorious pain his own?
+  Lend but your understanding, and their skill
+  Can domineer at pleasure o'er your will:
+  Nor is the short-liv'd conquest quickly past;
+  Shame, if not choice, will hold the convert fast.
+    How often have I seen the generous bowl
+  With pleasing force unlock a secret soul,
+  And steal a truth, which every sober hour
+  (The prose of life) had kept within her power!
+  The grape victorious often has prevail'd,
+  When gold and beauty, racks and tortures, fail'd:
+  Yet when the spirit's tumult was allay'd,
+  She mourn'd, perhaps, the sentiment betray'd;
+  But mourn'd too late, no longer could deny,
+  And on her own confession charge the lie.
+    Thus they, whom neither the prevailing love
+  Of goodness here, or mercy from above,
+  Or fear of future pains, or human laws
+  Could render advocates in virtue's cause,
+  Caught by the scene, have unawares resign'd
+  Their wonted disposition of the mind:
+  By slow degrees prevails the pleasing tale,
+  As circling glasses on our senses steal;
+  Till thoroughly by the muses' banquet warm'd,
+  The passions tossing, all the soul alarm'd,
+  They turn mere zealots flush'd with glorious rage,
+  Rise in their seats, and scarce forbear the stage,
+  Assistance to wrong'd innocence to bring,
+  Or turn the poniard on some tyrant king.
+  How can they cool to villains? how subside
+  To dregs of vice, from such a godlike pride?
+  To spoiling orphans how to day return,
+  Who wept last night to see Monimia mourn?
+  In this gay school of virtue, whom so fit
+  To govern, and control the world of wit,
+  As Talbot, Lansdowne's friend, has Britain known?
+  Him polish'd Italy has call'd her own;
+  He in the lap of elegance was bred,
+  And trac'd the muses to their fountain head:
+  But much we hope, he will enjoy at home
+  What's nearer ancient than the modern Rome.
+  Nor fear I mention of the court of France,
+  When I the British genius would advance;
+  There too has Shrewsbury improv'd his taste;
+  Yet still we dare invite him to our feast:
+  For Corneille's sake I shall my thoughts suppress
+  Of Oroonoko, and presume him less:
+  What though we wrong him? Isabella's woe
+  Waters those bays that shall for ever grow.
+    Our foes confess, nor we the praise refuse,
+  The drama glories in the British muse.
+  The French are delicate, and nicely lead
+  Of close intrigue the labyrinthian thread;
+  Our genius more affects the grand, than fine,
+  Our strength can make the great plain action shine:
+  They raise a great curiosity indeed,
+  From his dark maze to see the hero freed;
+  We rouse th' affections, and that hero show
+  Gasping beneath some formidable blow:
+  They sigh; we weep: the Gallic doubt and care
+  We heighten into terror and despair;
+  Strike home, the strongest passions boldly touch,
+  Nor fear our audience should be pleas'd too much.
+  What's great in nature we can greatly draw,
+  Nor thank for beauties the dramatic law.
+  The fate of C�sar is a tale too plain
+  The fickle Gallic taste to entertain;
+  Their art would have perplex'd, and interwove
+  The golden arras with gay flowers of love:
+  We know heaven made him a far greater man
+  Than any C�sar, in a human plan,
+  And such we draw him, nor are too refin'd,
+  To stand affected with what heaven design'd.
+  To claim attention, and the heart invade,
+  Shakespeare but wrote the play th' Almighty made.
+  Our neighbour's stage-art too bare-fac'd betrays,
+  'Tis great Corneille at every scene we praise;
+  On nature's surer aid Britannia calls,
+  None think of Shakespeare till the curtain falls;
+  Then with a sigh returns our audience home,
+  From Venice, Egypt, Persia, Greece, or Rome.
+    France yields not to the glory of our lines,
+  But manly conduct of our strong designs;
+  That oft they think more justly we must own,
+  Not ancient Greece a truer sense has shown:
+  Greece thought but justly, they think justly too;
+  We sometimes err by striving more to do.
+  So well are Racine's meanest persons taught,
+  But change a sentiment, you make a fault;
+  Nor dare we charge them with the want of flame:
+  When we boast more, we own ourselves to blame.
+    And yet in Shakespeare something still I find,
+  That makes me less esteem all human kind;
+  He made one nature, and another found,
+  Both in his page with master strokes abound:
+  His witches, fairies, and enchanted isle.
+  Bid us no longer at our nurses smile;
+  Of lost historians we almost complain,
+  Nor think it the creation of his brain.
+  Who lives, when his Othello's in a trance?
+  With his great Talbot(62) too he conquer'd France.
+    Long we may hope brave Talbot's blood will run
+  In great descendants, Shakespeare has but one;
+  And him, my lord, permit me not to name,
+  But in kind silence spare his rival's shame:--
+  Yet I in vain that author would suppress,
+  What can't be greater, cannot be made less:
+  Each reader will defeat my fruitless aim,
+  And to himself great Agamemnon name.
+    Should Shakespeare rise unbless'd with Talbot's smile,
+  E'en Shakespeare's self would curse this barren isle:
+  But if that reigning star propitious shine,
+  And kindly mix his gentle rays with thine;
+  E'en I, by far the meanest of your age,
+  Shall not repent my passion for the stage.
+    Thus did the will almighty disallow,
+  No human force could pluck the golden bough,
+  Which left the tree with ease at Jove's command,
+  And spar'd the labour of the weakest hand.
+    Auspicious fate! that gives me leave to write
+  To you, the muses' glory and delight;
+  Who know to read, nor false encomiums raise,
+  And mortify an author with your praise:
+  Praise wounds a noble mind, when 'tis not due,
+  But censure's self will please, my lord, from you;
+  Faults are our pride and gain, when you descend
+  To point them out, and teach us how to mend.
+  What though the great man set his coffers wide,
+  That cannot gratify the poet's pride;
+  Whose inspiration, if 'tis truly good,
+  Is best rewarded, when best understood.
+  The muses write for glory, not for gold,
+  'Tis far beneath their nature to be sold:
+  The greatest gain is scorn'd, but as it serves
+  To speak a sense of what the muse deserves;
+  The muse which from her Lansdowne fears no wrong,
+  Best judge, as well as subject, of her song.
+  Should this great theme allure me further still,
+  And I presume to use your patience ill,
+  The world would plead my cause, and none but you
+  Will take disgust at what I now pursue:
+  Since what is mean my muse can't raise, I'll choose
+  A theme that's able to exalt my muse.
+    For who, not void of thought, can Granville name,
+  Without a spark of his immortal flame?
+  Whether we seek the patriot, or the friend,
+  Let Bolingbroke, let Anna recommend;
+  Whether we choose to love or to admire,
+  You melt the tender, and th'ambitious fire.
+    Such native graces without thought abound,
+  And such familiar glories spread around,
+  As more incline the stander by to raise
+  His value for himself, than you to praise.
+  Thus you befriend the most heroic way,
+  Bless all, on none an obligation lay;
+  So turn'd by nature's hand for all that's well,
+  'Tis scarce a virtue when you most excel.
+    Tho' sweet your presence, graceful is your mien,
+  You to be happy want not to be seen;
+  Though priz'd in public, you can smile alone,
+  Nor court an approbation but your own:
+  In throngs, not conscious of those eyes that gaze
+  In wonder fix'd, though resolute to please;
+  You, were all blind, would still deserve applause;
+  The world's your glory's witness, not its cause;
+  That lies beyond the limits of the day,
+  Angels behold it, and their God obey.
+    You take delight in others' excellence;
+  A gift, which nature rarely does dispense:
+  Of all that breathe 'tis you, perhaps, alone
+  Would be well pleas'd to see yourself outdone.
+  You wish not those, who show your name respect,
+  So little worth, as might excuse neglect;
+  Nor are in pain lest merit you should know;
+  Nor shun the well deserver as a foe;
+  A troublesome acquaintance, that will claim
+  To be well us'd, or dye your cheek with shame.
+    You wish your country's good; that told so well
+  Your powers are known, th' event I need not tell.
+  When Nestor spoke, none ask'd if he prevail'd;
+  That god of sweet persuasion never fail'd:
+  And such great fame had Hector's valour wrought,
+  Who meant he conquer'd, only said he fought.
+    When you, my lord, to sylvan scenes retreat,
+  No crowds around for pleasure, or for state,
+  You are not cast upon a stranger land,
+  And wander pensive o'er the barren strand;
+  Nor are you by receiv'd example taught,
+  In toys to shun the discipline of thought;
+  But unconfin'd by bounds of time and place,
+  You choose companions from all human race;
+  Converse with those the deluge swept away,
+  Or those whose midnight is Britannia's day.
+    Books not so much inform, as give consent
+  To those ideas your own thoughts present;
+  Your only gain from turning volumes o'er,
+  Is finding cause to like yourself the more:
+  In Grecian sages you are only taught
+  With more respect to value your own thought:
+  Great Tully grew immortal, while he drew
+  Those precepts we behold alive in you:
+  Your life is so adjusted to their schools,
+  It makes that history they meant for rules.
+  What joy, what pleasing transport, must arise
+  Within your breast, and lift you to the skies,
+  When, in each learned page that you unfold,
+  You find some part of your own conduct told!
+    So pleas'd, and so surpris'd, �neas stood,
+  And such triumphant raptures fir'd his blood,
+  When far from Trojan shores the hero spied
+  His story shining forth in all its pride;
+  Admir'd himself, and saw his actions stand
+  The praise and wonder of a foreign land.
+    He knows not half his being, who's confin'd
+  In converse, and reflection on mankind:
+  Your soul, which understands her charter well,
+  Disdains imprison'd by those skies to dwell;
+  Ranges eternity without the leave
+  Of death, nor waits the passage of the grave.
+    When pains eternal, and eternal bliss,
+  When these high cares your weary thoughts dismiss,
+  In heavenly numbers you your soul unbend,
+  And for your ease to deathless fame descend.
+  Ye kings! would ye true greatness understand,
+  Read Seneca grown rich in Granville's hand.(63)
+    Behold the glories of your life complete!
+  Still at a flow, and permanently great;
+  New moments shed new pleasures as they fly,
+  And yet your greatest is, that you must die.
+    Thus Anna saw, and rais'd you to the seat
+  Of honour, and confess'd her servant great;
+  Confess'd, not made him such; for faithful fame
+  Her trumpet swell'd long since with Granville's name;
+  Though you in modesty the title wear,
+  Your name shall be the title of your heir;
+  Farther than ermine, make his glory known,
+  And cast in shades the favour of a throne.
+  From thrones the beam of high distinction springs;
+  The soul's endowments from the King of kings,
+  Lo! one great day calls forth ten mighty peers!
+  Produce ten Granvilles in five thousand years;
+  Anna, be thou content to fix the fate
+  Of various kingdoms, and control the great;
+  But O! to bid thy Granville brighter shine!
+  To him that great prerogative resign,
+  Who the sun's height can raise at pleasure higher,
+  His lamp illumine, set his flames on fire.
+    Yet still one bliss, one glory, I forbear,
+  A darling friend whom near your heart you wear;
+  That lovely youth, my lord, whom you must blame,
+  That I grow thus familiar with your name.
+    He's friendly, open, in his conduct nice,
+  Nor serve these virtues to atone for vice:
+  Vice has he none, or such as none wish less,
+  But friends indeed, good-nature in excess.
+  You cannot boast the merit of a choice,
+  In making him your own, 'twas nature's voice,
+  Which call'd too loud by man to be withstood,
+  Pleading a tie far nearer than of blood;
+  Similitude of manners, such a mind
+  As makes you less the wonder of mankind.
+  Such ease his common converse recommends,
+  As he ne'er felt a passion, but his friend's;
+  Yet fix'd his principles, beyond the force
+  Of all beneath the sun, to bend his course.(64)
+  Thus the tall cedar, beautiful and fair,
+  Flatters the motions of the wanton air;
+  Salutes each passing breeze with head reclin'd:
+  The pliant branches dance in every wind:
+  But fix'd the stem her upright state maintains,
+  And all the fury of the north disdains.
+    How are you bless'd in such a matchless friend!
+  Alas! with me the joys of friendship end;
+  O Harrison! I must, I will complain;
+  Tears soothe the soul's distress, tho' shed in vain;
+  Didst thou return, and bless thy native shore
+  With welcome peace, and is my friend no more?--
+  Thy task was early done, and I must own
+  Death kind to thee, but ah! to thee alone.
+  But 'tis in me a vanity to mourn,
+  The sorrows of the great thy tomb adorn;
+  Strafford and Bolingbroke the loss perceive,
+  They grieve, and make thee envied in thy grave.
+    With aching heart, and a foreboding mind,
+  I night to day in painful journey join'd,
+  When first inform'd of his approaching fate;
+  But reach'd the partner of my soul too late:
+  'Twas past, his cheek was cold; that tuneful tongue,
+  Which Isis charm'd with its melodious song,
+  Now languish'd, wanted strength to speak his pain,
+  Scarce rais'd a feeble groan, and sunk again:
+  Each art of life, in which he bore a part,
+  Shot like an arrow through my bleeding heart.
+  To what serv'd all his promis'd wealth and power,
+  But more to load that most unhappy hour?
+  Yet still prevail'd the greatness of his mind;
+  That, not in health, or life itself confin'd,
+  Felt through his mortal pangs Britannia's peace,
+  Mounted to joy, and smil'd in death's embrace.
+    His spirit now just ready to resign,
+  No longer now his own, no longer mine,
+  He grasps my hand, his swimming eyeballs roll,
+  My hand he grasps, and enters in my soul:
+  Then with a groan--Support me, O! beware
+  Of holding worth, however great, too dear!(65)
+    Pardon, my lord, the privilege of grief,
+  That in untimely freedom seeks relief;
+  To better fate your love I recommend,
+  O! may you never lose so dear a friend!
+  May nothing interrupt your happy hours;
+  Enjoy the blessings peace on Europe showers:
+  Nor yet disdain those blessings to adorn;
+  To make the muse immortal, you was born.
+  Sing; and in latest time, when story's dark,
+  This period your surviving fame shall mark;
+  Save from the gulf of years this glorious age,
+  And thus illustrate their historian's page.
+    The crown of Spain in doubtful balance hung,
+  And Anna Britain sway'd, when Granville sung:
+  That noted year Europa sheath'd her sword,
+  When this great man was first saluted lord.

+
+                         TWO EPISTLES TO MR. POPE
+
+
+                 Concerning the Authors of the Age. 1730.
+
+
+
+
+                                Epistle I.
+
+
+  Whilst you at Twickenham plan the future wood,
+  Or turn the volumes of the wise and good,
+  Our senate meets; at parties, parties bawl,
+  And pamphlets stun the streets, and load the stall;
+  So rushing tides bring things obscene to light,
+  Foul wrecks emerge, and dead dogs swim in sight;
+  The civil torrent foams, the tumult reigns,
+  And Codrus' prose works up, and Lico's strains.
+  Lo! what from cellars rise, what rush from high,
+  Where speculation roosted near the sky;
+  Letters, essays, sock, buskin, satire, song,
+  And all the garret thunders on the throng!
+    O Pope! I burst; nor can, nor will, refrain;
+  I'll write; let others, in their turn, complain:
+  Truce, truce, ye Vandals! my tormented ear
+  Less dreads a pillory than a pamphleteer;
+  I've heard myself to death; and, plagu'd each hour,
+  Shan't I return the vengeance in my power?
+  For who can write the true absurd like me?----
+  Thy pardon, Codrus! who, I mean, but thee?
+    Pope! if like mine, or Codrus', were thy style,
+  The blood of vipers had not stain'd thy file;
+  Merit less solid, less despite had bred;
+  They had not bit, and then they had not bled.
+  Fame is a public mistress, none enjoys,
+  But, more or less, his rival's peace destroys;
+  With fame, in just proportion, envy grows;
+  The man that makes a character, makes foes:
+  Slight, peevish insects round a genius rise,
+  As a bright day awakes the world of flies;
+  With hearty malice, but with feeble wing,
+  (To show they live) they flutter, and they sting:
+  But as by depredations wasps proclaim
+  The fairest fruit, so these the fairest fame.
+    Shall we not censure all the motley train,
+  Whether with ale irriguous, or champaign?
+  Whether they tread the vale of prose, or climb,
+  And whet their appetites on cliffs of rhyme;
+  The college sloven, or embroider'd spark;
+  The purple prelate, or the parish clerk;
+  The quiet quidnunc, or demanding prig;
+  The plaintiff tory, or defendant whig;
+  Rich, poor, male, female, young, old, gay, or sad;
+  Whether extremely witty, or quite mad;
+  Profoundly dull, or shallowly polite;
+  Men that read well, or men that only write;
+  Whether peers, porters, tailors, tune the reeds,
+  And measuring words to measuring shapes succeeds;
+  For bankrupts write, when ruin'd shops are shut,
+  As maggots crawl from out a perish'd nut.
+  His hammer this, and that his trowel quits,
+  And, wanting sense for tradesmen, serve for wits.
+  By thriving men subsists each other trade;
+  Of every broken craft a writer's made:
+  Thus his material, paper, takes its birth
+  From tatter'd rags of all the stuff on earth.
+    Hail, fruitful isle! to thee alone belong
+  Millions of wits, and brokers in old song:
+  Thee well a land of liberty we name,
+  Where all are free to scandal and to shame;
+  Thy sons, by print, may set their hearts at ease,
+  And be mankind's contempt, whene'er they please;
+  Like trodden filth, their vile and abject sense
+  Is unperceiv'd, but when it gives offence:
+  Their heavy prose our injur'd reason tires;
+  Their verse immoral kindles loose desires:
+  Our age they puzzle, and corrupt our prime,
+  Our sport and pity, punishment and crime.
+    What glorious motives urge our authors on,
+  Thus to undo, and thus to be undone?
+  One loses his estate, and down he sits,
+  To show (in vain!) he still retains his wits:
+  Another marries, and his dear proves keen;
+  He writes as an hypnotic for the spleen:
+  Some write, confin'd by physic; some, by debt;
+  Some, for 'tis Sunday; some, because 'tis wet;
+  Through private pique some do the public right,
+  And love their king and country out of spite:
+  Another writes because his father writ,
+  And proves himself a bastard by his wit.
+    Has Lico learning, humour, thought profound?
+  Neither: why write then? He wants twenty pound:
+  His belly, not his brains, this impulse give;
+  He'll grow immortal; for he cannot live:
+  He rubs his awful front, and takes his ream,
+  With no provision made, but of his theme;
+  Perhaps a title has his fancy smit,
+  Or a quaint motto, which he thinks has wit:
+  He writes, in inspiration puts his trust,
+  Tho' wrong his thoughts, the gods will make them just;
+  Genius directly from the gods descends,
+  And who by labour would distrust his friends?
+  Thus having reason'd with consummate skill,
+  In immortality he dips his quill:
+  And, since blank paper is denied the press,
+  He mingles the whole alphabet by guess:
+  In various sets, which various words compose,
+  Of which, he hopes, mankind the meaning knows.
+    So sounds spontaneous from the sibyl broke,
+  Dark to herself the wonders which she spoke;
+  The priests found out the meaning, if they could;
+  And nations star'd at what none understood.
+    Clodio dress'd, danc'd, drank, visited, (the whole
+  And great concern of an immortal soul!)
+  Oft have I said, "Awake! exist! and strive
+  For birth! nor think to loiter is to live!"
+  As oft I overheard the demon say,
+  Who daily met the loit'rer in his way,
+  "I'll meet thee, youth, at White's:" the youth replies,
+  "I'll meet thee there," and falls his sacrifice;
+  His fortune squander'd, leaves his virtue bare
+  To ev'ry bribe, and blind to ev'ry snare:
+  Clodio for bread his indolence must quit,
+  Or turn a soldier, or commence a wit.
+  Such heroes have we! all, but life, they stake;
+  How must Spain tremble, and the German shake!
+  Such writers have we! all, but sense, they print;
+  Ev'n George's praise is dated from the mint.
+  In arms contemptible, in arts profane,
+  Such swords, such pens, disgrace a monarch's reign.
+  Reform your lives before you thus aspire,
+  And steal (for you can steal) celestial fire.
+    O the just contrast! O the beauteous strife!
+  'Twixt their cool writings, and pindaric life:
+  They write with phlegm, but then they live with fire;
+  They cheat the lender, and their works the buyer.
+    I reverence misfortune, not deride;
+  I pity poverty, but laugh at pride:
+  For who so sad, but must some mirth confess
+  At gay Castruchio's miscellaneous dress?
+  Though there's but one of the dull works he wrote,
+  There's ten editions of his old lac'd coat.
+    These, nature's commoners, who want a home,
+  Claim the wide world for their majestic dome;
+  They make a private study of the street;
+  And, looking full on every man they meet,
+  Run souse against his chaps; who stands amaz'd
+  To find they did not see, but only gaz'd.
+  How must these bards be rapt into the skies!
+  you need not read, you feel their ecstasies.
+    Will they persist? 'Tis Madness; Lintot, run,
+  See them confin'd--"O that's already done."
+  Most, as by leases, by the works they print,
+  Have took, for life, possession of the mint.
+  If you mistake, and pity these poor men,
+  est Ulubris, they cry, and write again.
+    Such wits their nuisance manfully expose,
+  And then pronounce just judges learning's foes;
+  O frail conclusion; the reverse is true;
+  If foes to learning, they'd be friends to you:
+  Treat them, ye judges! with an honest scorn,
+  And weed the cockle from the generous corn:
+  There's true good nature in your disrepect;
+  In justice to the good, the bad neglect:
+  For immortality, if hardships plead,
+  It is not theirs who write, but ours who read.
+    But, O! what wisdom can convince a fool,
+  But that 'tis dulness to conceive him dull?
+  'Tis sad experience takes the censor's part,
+  Conviction, not from reason, but from smart.
+    a virgin author, recent from the press,
+  The sheets yet wet, applauds his great success;
+  Surveys them, reads them, takes their charms to bed,
+  Those in his hand, and glory in his head;
+  'Tis joy too great; a fever of delight!
+  His heart beats thick, nor close his eyes all night:
+  But rising the next morn to clasp his fame,
+  He finds that without sleeping he could dream:
+  So sparks, they say, take goddesses to bed,
+  And find next day the devil in their stead.
+    In vain advertisements the town o'erspread;
+  They're epitaphs, and the work is dead.
+  Who press for fame, but small recruits will raise;
+  'Tis volunteers alone can give the bays.
+    A famous author visits a great man,
+  Of his immortal work displays the plan,
+  And says, "Sir, I'm your friend; all fears dismiss;
+  Your glory, and my own, shall live by this;
+  Your power is fixt, your fame thro' time convey'd,
+  And Britain Europe's queen--if I am paid."
+  A statesman has his answer in a trice:
+  "Sir, such a genius is beyond all price;
+  What man can pay for this?"--Away he turns;
+  His work is folded, and his bosom burns:
+  His patron he will patronize no more;
+  But rushes like a tempest out of door.
+  Lost is the patriot, and extinct his name!
+  Out comes the piece, another, and the same;
+  For A, his magic pen evokes an O,
+  And turns the tide of Europe on the foe:
+  He rams his quill with scandal, and with scoff;
+  But 'tis so very foul, it wont go off:
+  Dreadful his thunders, while unprinted, roar;
+  But when once publish'd, they are heard no more.
+  Thus distant bugbears fright, but, nearer draw,
+  The block's a block, and turns to mirth your awe.
+    Can those oblige, whose heads and hearts are such?
+  No; every party's tainted by their touch.
+  Infected persons fly each public place;
+  And none, or enemies alone, embrace:
+  To the foul fiend their every passion's sold:
+  They love, and hate, extempore, for gold:
+  What image of their fury can we form?
+  Dulness and rage, a puddle in a storm.
+  Rest they in peace? If you are pleas'd to buy,
+  To swell your sails, like Lapland winds, they fly:
+  Write they with rage? The tempest quickly flags;
+  A state Ulysses tames 'em with his bags;
+  Let him be what he will, Turk, Pagan, Jew:
+  For Christian ministers of state are few.
+    Behind the curtain lurks the fountain head,
+  That pours his politics through pipes of lead,
+  Which far and near ejaculate, and spout
+  O'er tea and coffee, poison to the rout:
+  But when they have bespatter'd all they may,
+  The statesman throws his filthy squirts away!
+    With golden forceps, these, another takes,
+  And state elixirs of the vipers makes.
+    The richest statesman wants wherewith to pay
+  A servile sycophant, if well they weigh
+  How much it costs the wretch to be so base;
+  Nor can the greatest powers enough disgrace,
+  Enough chastise, such prostitute applause,
+  If well they weigh how much it stains their cause.
+    But are our writers ever in the wrong?
+  Does virtue ne'er seduce the venal tongue?
+  Yes; if well brib'd, for virtue's self they fight;
+  Still in the wrong, tho' champions for the right:
+  Whoe'er their crimes for interest only quit,
+  Sin on in virtue, and good deeds commit.
+    Nought but inconstancy Britannia meets,
+  And broken faith in their abandon'd sheets;
+  From the same hand how various is the page!
+  What civil war their brother pamphlets wage!
+  Tracts battle tracts, self-contradictions glare;
+  Say, is this lunacy?--I wish it were.
+  If such our writers, startled at the sight,
+  Felons may bless their stars they cannot write!
+    How justly Proteus' transmigrations fit
+  The monstrous changes of a modern wit!
+  Now, such a gentle stream of eloquence
+  As seldom rises to the verge of sense;
+  Now, by mad rage, transform'd into a flame,
+  Which yet fit engines, well applied, can tame;
+  Now, on immodest trash, the swine obscene,
+  Invites the town to sup at Drury Lane;
+  A dreadful lion, now he roars at power,
+  Which sends him to his brothers at the Tower;
+  He's now a serpent, and his double tongue
+  Salutes, nay licks, the feet of those he stung;
+  What knot can bind him, his evasion such?
+  One knot he well deserves, which might do much.
+    The flood, flame, swine, the lion, and the snake,
+  Those fivefold monsters, modern authors make:
+  The snake reigns most; snakes, Pliny says, are bred
+  When the brain's perish'd in a human head.
+  Ye grov'ling, trodden, whipt, stript, turncoat things,
+  Made up of venom, volumes, stains, and stings!
+  Thrown from the tree of knowledge, like you, curst
+  To scribble in the dust, was snake the first.
+    What if the figure should in fact prove true!
+  It did in Elkenah, why not in you?
+  Poor Elkenah, all other changes past,
+  For bread in Smithfield dragons hist at last,
+  Spit streams of fire to make the butchers gape,
+  And found his manners suited to his shape:
+  Such is the fate of talents misapplied;
+  So liv'd your prototype; and so he died.
+    Th' abandon'd manners of our writing train
+  May tempt mankind to think religion vain;
+  But in their fate, their habit, and their mien,
+  That gods there are is eminently seen:
+  Heaven stands absolv'd by vengeance on their pen,
+  And marks the murderers of fame from men:
+  Through meagre jaws they draw their venal breath,
+  As ghastly as their brothers in Macbeth:
+  Their feet through faithless leather meet the dirt,
+  And oftener chang'd their principles than shirt.
+  The transient vestments of these frugal men,
+  Hastens to paper for our mirth again:
+  Too soon (O merry melancholy fate!)
+  They beg in rhyme, and warble through a grate:
+  The man lampoon'd forgets it at the sight;
+  The friend through pity gives, the foe through spite;
+  And though full conscious of his injur'd purse,
+  Lintot relents, nor Curll can wish them worse.
+  So fare the men, who writers dare commence
+  Without their patent, probity, and sense.
+    From these, their politics our quidnuncs seek,
+  And Saturday's the learning of the week:
+  These labouring wits, like paviours, mend our ways,
+  With heavy, huge, repeated, flat essays;
+  Ram their coarse nonsense down, though ne'er so dull;
+  And hem at every thump upon your skull:
+  These staunch bred writing hounds begin the cry,
+  And honest folly echoes to the lie.
+  O how I laugh, when I a blockhead see,
+  Thanking a villain for his probity;
+  Who stretches out a most respectful ear,
+  With snares for woodcocks in his holy leer:
+  It tickles thro' my soul to hear the cock's
+  Sincere encomium on his friend the fox,
+  Sole patron of his liberties and rights!
+  While graceless Reynard listens--till he bites.
+    As when the trumpet sounds, th' o'erloaded state
+  Discharges all her poor and profligate;
+  Crimes of all kinds dishonour'd weapons wield,
+  And prisons pour their filth into the field;
+  Thus nature's refuse, and the dregs of men,
+  Compose the black militia of the pen.
+
+
+
+
+                               Epistle II.
+
+
+                               From Oxford.
+
+
+  All write at London; shall the rage abate
+  Here, where it most should shine, the muses' seat?
+  Where, mortal or immortal, as they please,
+  The learn'd may choose eternity, or ease?
+  Has not a (66)royal patron wisely strove
+  To woo the muse in her Athenian grove?
+  Added new strings to her harmonious shell,
+  And given new tongues to those who spoke so well?
+  Let these instruct, with truth's illustrious ray,
+  Awake the world, and scare our owls away.
+    Meanwhile, O friend! indulge me, if I give
+  Some needful precepts how to write, and live!
+  Serious should be an author's final views;
+  Who write for pure amusement, ne'er amuse.
+    An author! 'tis a venerable name!
+  How few deserve it, and what numbers claim!
+  Unblest with sense above their peers refin'd,
+  Who shall stand up, dictators to mankind?
+  Nay, who dare shine, if not in virtue's cause?
+  That sole proprietor of just applause.
+    Ye restless men, who pant for letter'd praise,
+  With whom would you consult to gain the bays?--
+  With those great authors whose fam'd works you read?
+  'Tis well: go, then, consult the laurell'd shade.
+  What answer will the laurell'd shade return?
+  Hear it, and tremble! he commands you burn
+  The noblest works his envied genius writ,
+  That boast of nought more excellent than wit.
+  If this be true, as 'tis a truth most dread,
+  Woe to the page which has not that to plead!
+  Fontaine and Chaucer, dying, wish'd unwrote,
+  The sprightliest efforts of their wanton thought:
+  Sidney and Waller, brightest sons of fame,
+  Condemn the charm of ages to the flame:
+  And in one point is all true wisdom cast,
+  To think that early we must think at last.
+    Immortal wits, ev'n dead, break nature's laws,
+  Injurious still to virtue's sacred cause;
+  And their guilt growing, as their bodies rot,
+  (Revers'd ambition!) pant to be forgot.
+    Thus ends your courted fame: does lucre then,
+  The sacred thirst of gold, betray your pen?
+  In prose 'tis blameable, in verse 'tis worse,
+  Provokes the muse, extorts Apollo's curse:
+  His sacred influence never should be sold:
+  'Tis arrant simony to sing for gold:
+  'Tis immortality should fire your mind;
+  Scorn a less paymaster than all mankind.
+    If bribes you seek, know this, ye writing tribe!
+  Who writes for virtue has the largest bribe:
+  All's on the party of the virtuous man;
+  The good will surely serve him, if they can;
+  The bad, when interest, or ambition guide,
+  And 'tis at once their interest and their pride:
+  But should both fail to take him to their care,
+  He boasts a greater friend, and both may spare.
+    Letters to man uncommon light dispense;
+  And what is virtue, but superior sense?
+  In parts and learning you who place your pride,
+  Your faults are crimes, your crimes are double dyed.
+  What is a scandal of the first renown,
+  But letter'd knaves, and atheists in a gown?
+    'Tis harder far to please than give offence;
+  The least misconduct damns the brightest sense;
+  Each shallow pate, that cannot read your name,
+  Can read your life, and will be proud to blame.
+  Flagitious manners make impressions deep
+  On those, that o'er a page of Milton sleep:
+  Nor in their dulness think to save your shame,
+  True, these are fools; but wise men say the same.
+    Wits are a despicable race of men,
+  If they confine their talents to the pen;
+  When the man shocks us, while the writer shines,
+  Our scorn in life, our envy in his lines.
+  Yet, proud of parts, with prudence some dispense,
+  And play the fool, because they're men of sense.
+  What instances bleed recent in each thought,
+  Of men to ruin by their genius brought!
+  Against their wills what numbers ruin shun,
+  Purely through want of wit to be undone!
+  Nature has shown, by making it so rare,
+  That wit's a jewel which we need not wear.
+  Of plain sound sense life's current coin is made;
+  With that we drive the most substantial trade.
+    Prudence protects and guides us; wit betrays;
+  A splendid source of ill ten thousand ways;
+  A certain snare to miseries immense;
+  A gay prerogative from common sense;
+  Unless strong judgment that wild thing can tame,
+  And break to paths of virtue and of fame.
+    But grant your judgment equal to the best,
+  Sense fills your head, and genius fires your breast;
+  Yet still forbear: your wit (consider well)
+  'Tis great to show, but greater to conceal;
+  As it is great to seize the golden prize
+  Of place or power; but greater to despise.
+    If still you languish for an author's name,
+  Think private merit less than public fame,
+  And fancy not to write is not to live;
+  Deserve, and take, the great prerogative.
+  But ponder what it is; how dear 'twill cost,
+  To write one page which you may justly boast.
+    Sense may be good, yet not deserve the press;
+  Who write, an awful character profess;
+  The world as pupil of their wisdom claim,
+  And for their stipend an immortal fame:
+  Nothing but what is solid or refin'd,
+  Should dare ask public audience of mankind.
+    Severely weigh your learning, and your wit:
+  Keep down your pride by what is nobly writ:
+  No writer, fam'd in your own way, pass o'er;
+  Much trust example, but reflection more:
+  More had the ancients writ, they more had taught;
+  Which shows some work is left for modern thought.
+    This weigh'd, perfection know; and known, adore;
+  Toil, burn for that; but do not aim at more;
+  Above, beneath it, the just limits fix;
+  And zealously prefer four lines to six.
+    Write, and re-write, blot out, and write again,
+  And for its swiftness ne'er applaud your pen.
+  Leave to the jockeys that Newmarket praise,
+  Slow runs the Pegasus that wins the bays.
+  Much time for immortality to pay,
+  Is just and wise; for less is thrown away.
+  Time only can mature the labouring brain;
+  Time is the father, and the midwife pain:
+  The same good sense that makes a man excel,
+  Still makes him doubt he ne'er has written well.
+  Downright impossibilities they seek;
+  What man can be immortal in a week?
+    Excuse no fault; though beautiful, 'twill harm;
+  One fault shocks more than twenty beauties charm.
+  Our age demands correctness; Addison
+  And you this commendable hurt have done.
+  Now writers find, as once Achilles found,
+  The whole is mortal, if a part's unsound.
+    He that strikes out, and strikes not out the best,
+  Pours lustre in, and dignifies the rest:
+  Give e'er so little, if what's right be there,
+  We praise for what you burn, and what you spare:
+  The part you burn, smells sweet before the shrine,
+  And is as incense to the part divine.
+    Nor frequent write, though you can do it well;
+  Men may too oft, though not too much, excel.
+  A few good works gain fame; more sink their price;
+  Mankind are fickle, and hate paying twice:
+  They granted you writ well, what can they more,
+  Unless you let them praise for giving o'er?
+    Do boldly what you do, and let your page
+  Smile, if it smiles, and if it rages, rage.
+  So faintly Lucius censures and commends,
+  That Lucius has no foes, except his friends.
+    Let satire less engage you than applause;
+  It shows a gen'rous mind to wink at flaws:
+  Is genius yours? be yours a glorious end,
+  Be your king's, country's, truth's, religion's friend;
+  The public glory by your own beget;
+  Run nations, run posterity, in debt.
+  And since the fam'd alone make others live,
+  First have that glory you presume to give.
+    If satire charms, strike faults, but spare the man
+  'Tis dull to be as witty as you can.
+  Satire recoils whenever charg'd too high;
+  Round your own fame the fatal splinters fly.
+  As the soft plume gives swiftness to the dart,
+  Good breeding sends the satire to the heart.
+    Painters and surgeons may the structure scan;
+  Genius and morals be with you the man:
+  Defaults in those alone should give offence!
+  Who strikes the person, pleads his innocence.
+  My narrow minded satire can't extend
+  To Codrus' form; I'm not so much his friend:
+  Himself should publish that (the world agree)
+  Before his works, or in the pillory.
+  Let him be black, fair, tall, short, thin, or fat,
+  Dirty or clean, I find no theme in that.
+  Is that call'd humour? It has this pretence,
+  'Tis neither virtue, breeding, wit, or sense.
+  Unless you boast the genius of a Swift,
+  Beware of humour, the dull rogue's last shift.
+    Can others write like you? Your task give o'er,
+  'Tis printing what was publish'd long before.
+  If nought peculiar through your labours run,
+  They're duplicates, and twenty are but one.
+  Think frequently, think close, read nature, turn
+  Men's manners o'er, and half your volumes burn;
+  To nurse with quick reflection be your strife,
+  Thoughts born from present objects, warm from life:
+  When most unsought, such inspirations rise,
+  Slighted by fools, and cherish'd by the wise:
+  Expect peculiar fame from these alone;
+  These make an author, these are all your own.
+    Life, like their Bibles, coolly men turn o'er;
+  Hence unexperienc'd children of threescore.
+  True, all men think of course, as all men dream;
+  And if they slightly think, 'tis much the same.
+    Letters admit not of a half renown;
+  They give you nothing, or they give a crown.
+  No work e'er gain'd true fame, or ever can,
+  But what did honour to the name of man.
+    Weighty the subject, cogent the discourse,
+  Clear be the style, the very sound of force;
+  Easy the conduct, simple the design,
+  Striking the moral, and the soul divine:
+  Let nature art, and judgment wit, exceed;
+  O'er learning reason reign; o'er that, your creed:
+  Thus virtue's seeds, at once, and laurel's, grow;
+  Do thus, and rise a Pope, or a Despreau:
+  And when your genius exquisitely shines,
+  Live up to the full lustre of your lines:
+  Parts but expose those men who virtue quit;
+  A fallen angel is a fallen wit;
+  And they plead Lucifer's detested cause,
+  Who for bare talents challenge our applause.
+  Would you restore just honours to the pen?
+  From able writers rise to worthy men.
+    "Who's this with nonsense, nonsense would restrain?
+  Who's this (they cry) so vainly schools the vain?
+  Who damns our trash, with so much trash replete?
+  As, three ells round, huge Cheyne rails at meat?"
+    Shall I with Bavius then my voice exalt,
+  And challenge all mankind to find one fault?
+  With huge examens overwhelm my page,
+  And darken reason with dogmatic rage?
+  As if, one tedious volume writ in rhyme,
+  In prose a duller could excuse the crime:
+  Sure, next to writing, the most idle thing
+  Is gravely to harangue on what we sing.
+    At that tribunal stands the writing tribe,
+  Which nothing can intimidate or bribe:
+  Time is the judge; time has nor friend nor foe;
+  False fame must wither, and the true will grow.
+  Arm'd with this truth, all critics I defy;
+  For if I fall, by my own pen I die;
+  While snarlers strive with proud but fruitless pain
+  To wound immortals, or to slay the slain.
+    Sore prest with danger, and in awful dread
+  Of twenty pamphlets levell'd at my head,
+  Thus have I forg'd a buckler in my brain,
+  Of recent form, to serve me this campaign:
+  And safely hope to quit the dreadful field
+  Delug'd with ink, and sleep behind my shield;
+  Unless dire Codrus rouses to the fray
+  In all his might, and damns me--for a day.
+    As turns a flock of geese, and, on the green,
+  Poke out their foolish necks in awkward spleen,
+  (Ridiculous in rage!) to hiss, not bite,
+  So war their quills, when sons of dulness write.

+
+          AN EPISTLE TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE SIR ROBERT WALPOLE.
+
+
+               By Mr. Doddington, Afterwards Lord Melcombe.
+
+
+      --Qu� censet amiculus, ut si
+      C�cus iter monstrare velit
+
+                                                                 --HOR.
+
+
+  Though strength of genius, by experience taught,
+  Gives thee to sound the depths of human thought,
+  To trace the various workings of the mind,
+  And rule the secret springs, that rule mankind;
+  (Rare gift!) yet, Walpole, wilt thou condescend
+  To listen, if thy unexperienc'd friend
+  Can aught of use impart, though void of skill,
+  And win attention by sincere good-will;
+  For friendship, sometimes, want of parts supplies,
+  The heart may furnish what the head denies.
+    As when the rapid Rhone, o'er swelling tides,
+  To grace old ocean's court, in triumph rides,
+  Tho' rich his source, he drains a thousand springs,
+  Nor scorns the tribute each small rivulet brings.
+    So thou shalt, hence, absorb each feeble ray,
+  Each dawn of meaning, in thy brighter day;
+  Shalt like, or, where thou canst not like, excuse,
+  Since no mean interest shall profane the muse,
+  No malice, wrapt in truth's disguise, offend,
+  Nor flattery taint the freedom of the friend.
+  When first a generous mind surveys the great,
+  And views the crowds that on their fortune wait;
+  Pleas'd with the show (though little understood)
+  He only seeks the power, to do the good;
+  Thinks, till he tries, 'tis godlike to dispose,
+  And gratitude still springs, where bounty sows;
+  That every grant sincere affection wins,
+  And where our wants have end, our love begins:
+  But those who long the paths of state have trod,
+  Learn from the clamours of the murmuring crowd,
+  Which cramm'd, yet craving still, their gates besiege,
+  'Tis easier far to give, than to oblige.
+    This of thy conduct seems the nicest part,
+  The chief perfection of the statesman's art,
+  To give to fair assent a fairer face,
+  Or soften a refusal into grace:
+  But few there are that can be truly kind,
+  Or know to fix their favours on the mind;
+  Hence, some, whene'er they would oblige, offend,
+  And, while they make the fortune, lose the friend;
+  Still give, unthank'd; still squander, not bestow;
+  For great men want not, what to give, but how.
+    The race of men that follow courts, 'tis true,
+  Think all they get, and more than all, their due;
+  Still ask, but ne'er consult their own deserts,
+  And measure by their interest, not their parts:
+  From this mistake so many men we see
+  But ill become the thing they wish'd to be;
+  Hence discontent, and fresh demands arise,
+  More power, more favour in the great man's eyes;
+  All feel a want, though none the cause suspects,
+  But hate their patron, for their own defects;
+  Such none can please, but who reforms their hearts,
+  And, when he gives them places, gives them parts.
+    As these o'erprize their worth, so sure the great
+  May sell their favour at too dear a rate;
+  When merit pines, while clamour is preferr'd,
+  And long attachment waits among the herd;
+  When no distinction, where distinction 's due,
+  Marks from the many the superior few;
+  When strong cabal constrains them to be just,
+  And makes them give at last--because they must;
+  What hopes that men of real worth should prize,
+  What neither friendship gives, nor merit buys?
+    The man who justly o'er the whole presides,
+  His well-weigh'd choice with wise affection guides;
+  Knows when to stop with grace, and when advance,
+  Nor gives through importunity or chance;
+  But thinks how little gratitude is ow'd,
+  When favours are extorted, not bestow'd.
+    When, safe on shore ourselves, we see the crowd
+  Surround the great, importunate, and loud;
+  Through such a tumult, 'tis no easy task
+  To drive the man of real worth to ask:
+  Surrounded thus, and giddy with the show,
+  'Tis hard for great men rightly to bestow;
+  From hence so few are skill'd, in either case,
+  To ask with dignity, or give with grace.
+  Sometimes the great, seduc'd by love of parts,
+  Consult our genius, and neglect our hearts;
+  Pleas'd with the glittering sparks that genius flings,
+  They lift us, towering on their eagle's wings,
+  Mark out the flights by which themselves begun,
+  And teach our dazzled eyes to bear the sun;
+  Till we forget the hand that made us great,
+  And grow to envy, not to emulate:
+  To emulate, a generous warmth implies,
+  To reach the virtues, that make great men rise;
+  But envy wears a mean malignant face,
+  And aims not at their virtues--but their place.
+    Such to oblige, how vain is the pretence!
+  When every favour is a fresh offence,
+  By which superior power is still implied,
+  And, while it helps their fortune, hurts their pride.
+  Slight is the hate, neglect or hardships breed;
+  But those who hate from envy, hate indeed.
+    "Since so perplex'd the choice, whom shall we trust?"
+  Methinks I hear thee cry--The brave and just;
+  The man by no mean fears or hopes controll'd,
+  Who serves thee from affection, not for gold.
+    We love the honest, and esteem the brave,
+  Despise the coxcomb, but detest the knave;
+  No show of parts the truly wise seduce,
+  To think that knaves can be of real use.
+    The man, who contradicts the public voice,
+  And strives to dignify a worthless choice,
+  Attempts a task that on that choice reflects,
+  And lends us light to point out new defects.
+  One worthless man, that gains what he pretends,
+  Disgusts a thousand unpretending friends:
+  And since no art can make a counterpass,
+  Or add the weight of gold to mimic brass,
+  When princes to bad ore their image join,
+  They more debase the stamp, than raise the coin.
+    Be thine the care, true merit to reward
+  And gain the good--nor will that task be hard;
+  Souls form'd alike so quick by nature blend,
+  An honest man is more than half thy friend.
+    Him, no mean views, or haste to rise, shall sway,
+  Thy choice to sully, or thy trust betray:
+  Ambition, here, shall at due distance stand
+  Nor is wit dangerous in an honest hand:
+  Besides, if failings at the bottom lie,
+  We view those failings with a lover's eye;
+  Though small his genius, let him do his best,
+  Our wishes and belief supply the rest.
+    Let others barter servile faith for gold,
+  His friendship is not to be bought or sold:
+  Fierce opposition he, unmov'd, shall face,
+  Modest in favour, daring in disgrace,
+  To share thy adverse fate alone, pretend;
+  In power, a servant; out of power, a friend.
+  Here pour thy favours in an ample flood,
+  Indulge thy boundless thirst of doing good:
+  Nor think that good to him alone confin'd;
+  Such to oblige, is to oblige mankind.
+  If thus thy mighty master's steps thou trace,
+  The brave to cherish, and the good to grace;
+  Long shalt thou stand from rage and faction free,
+  And teach us long to love the king, through thee:
+  Or fall a victim dangerous to the foe,
+  And make him tremble when he strikes the blow;
+  While honour, gratitude, affection join
+  To deck thy close, and brighten thy decline;
+  (Illustrious doom!) the great, when this displac'd,
+  With friendship guarded, and with virtue grac'd,
+  In awful ruin, like Rome's senate, fall,
+  The prey and worship of the wondering Gaul.
+    No doubt, to genius some reward is due,
+  (Excluding that, were satirizing you;)
+  But yet, believe thy undesigning friend,
+  When truth and genius for thy choice contend,
+  Tho' both have weight when in the balance cast,
+  Let probity be first, and parts the last.
+    On these foundations if thou dar'st be great,
+  And check the growth of folly and deceit;
+  When party rage shall droop thro' length of days,
+  And calumny be ripen'd into praise,
+  Then future times shall to thy worth allow
+  That fame, which envy would call flattery now.
+  Thus far my zeal, though for the task unfit,
+  Has pointed out the rocks where others split;
+  By that inspir'd, though stranger to the Nine,
+  And negligent of any fame--but thine,
+  I take the friendly, but superfluous part;
+  You act from nature what I teach from art.
+

+                          THE OLD MAN'S RELAPSE.
+
+
+               Verses Occasioned by the Foregoing Epistle.
+
+
+      Sopitos suscita ignes.
+
+                                                                --VIRG.
+
+
+  From man's too curious and impatient sight,
+  The future, Heaven involves in thickest night.
+  Credit gray hairs: though freedom much we boast,
+  Some least perform, what they determine most.
+  What sudden changes our resolves betray!
+  To-morrow is the satire on to-day,
+  And shows its weakness. Whom shall men believe,
+  When constantly themselves, themselves deceive?
+
+    Long had I bid my once-loved muse adieu;
+  You warm old age; my passion burns anew.
+  How sweet your verse! how great your force of mind!
+  What power of words! what skill in dark mankind!
+  Polite the conduct; generous the design;
+  And beauty files, and strength sustains, each line.
+  Thus Mars and Venus are, once more, beset;
+  Your wit has caught them in its golden net.
+
+    But what strikes home with most exalted grace
+  Is, haughty genius taught to know its place;
+  And, where worth shines, its humbled crest to bend,
+  With zeal devoted to that godlike end.
+  When we discern so rich a vein of sense,
+  Through the smooth flow of purest eloquence;
+  'Tis like the limpid streams of Tagus roll'd
+  O'er boundless wealth, o'er shining beds of gold.
+
+    But whence so finish'd, so refin'd a piece?
+  The tongue denies it to old Rome and Greece;
+  The genius bids the moderns doubt their claim,
+  And slowly take possession of the fame.
+  But I nor know, nor care, by whom 'twas writ,
+  Enough for me that 'tis from human wit;
+  That soothes my pride: all glory in the pen
+  Which has done honour to the race of men.
+
+    But this have others done; a like applause
+  An ancient and a modern Horace draws.(67)
+  But they to glory by degrees arose,
+  Meridian lustre you at once disclose.
+  'Tis continence of mind, unknown before,
+  To write so well, and yet to write no more.
+  More bright renown can human nature claim,
+  Than to deserve, and fly immortal fame?
+
+    Next to the godlike praise of writing well,
+  Is on that praise with just delight to dwell.
+  O, for some God my drooping soul to raise!
+  That I might imitate, as well as praise;
+  For all commend: e'en foes your fame confess;
+  Nor would Augustus' age have priz'd it less;
+  An age, which had not held its pride so long,
+  But for the want of so complete a song.
+
+    A golden period shall from you commence:
+  Peace shall be sign'd 'twixt wit and manly sense;
+  Whether your genius or your rank they view,
+  The muses find their Halifax in you.
+  Like him succeed! nor think my zeal is shown
+  For you; 'tis Britain's interest, not your own;
+  For lofty stations are but golden snares,
+  Which tempt the great to fall in love with cares.
+
+    I would proceed, but age has chill'd my vein,
+  'Twas a short fever, and I'm cool again.
+  Though life I hate, methinks I could renew
+  Its tasteless, painful course, to sing of you.
+  When such the subject, who shall curb his flight?
+  When such your genius, who shall dare to write?
+  In pure respect, I give my rhyming o'er,
+  And, to commend you most, commend no more.
+
+    Adieu, whoe'er thou art! on death's pale coast
+  Erelong I'll talk thee o'er with Dryden's ghost;
+  The bard will smile. A last, a long farewell!
+  Henceforth I hide me in my dusky cell;
+  There wait the friendly stroke that sets me free,
+  And think of immortality and thee--
+  My strains are number'd by the tuneful Nine;
+  Each maid presents her thanks, and all present thee mine.

+                                  VERSES
+
+
+    Sent by Lord Melcombe to Dr. Young, Not Long Before His Lordship's
+                                Death.(68)
+
+
+  Kind companion of my youth,
+  Lov'd for genius, worth, and truth!
+  Take what friendship can impart,
+  Tribute of a feeling heart;
+  Take the muse's latest spark,(69)
+  Ere we drop into the dark.
+  He, who parts and virtue gave,
+  Bad thee look beyond the grave
+  Genius soars, and virtue guides;
+  Above, the love of God presides.
+  There's a gulf 'twixt us and God;
+  Let the gloomy path be trod:
+  Why stand shivering on the shore?
+  Why not boldly venture o'er?
+  Where unerring virtue guides,
+  Let us have the winds and tides:
+  Safe, through seas of doubts and fears,
+  Rides the bark which virtue steers.

+
+   23 A new fund for Greenwich hospital, recommended from the throne.
+
+   24 Written soon after King George the First's accession.
+
+   25 It is disputed amongst the critics who was the author of the book of
+      Job; some give it to Moses, some to others. As I was engaged in this
+      little performance, some arguments occurred to me which favour the
+      former of those opinions; which arguments I have flung into the
+      following notes, where little else is to be expected.
+
+   26 The Almighty's speech, chapter xxxviii. &c. which is what I
+      paraphrase in this little work, is by much the finest part of the
+      noblest and most ancient poem in the world. Bishop Patrick says, its
+      grandeur is as much above all other poetry, as thunder is louder
+      than a whisper. In order to set this distinguished part of the poem
+      in a fuller light, and give the reader a clearer conception of it, I
+      have abridged the preceding and subsequent parts of the poem, and
+      joined them to it; so that this piece is a sort of an epitome of the
+      whole book of Job.
+
+      I use the word paraphrase, because I want another which might better
+      answer to the uncommon liberties I have taken. I have omitted,
+      added, and transposed. The mountain, the comet, the sun, and other
+      parts, are entirely added: those upon the peacock, the lion, &c. are
+      much enlarged; and I have thrown the whole into a method more suited
+      to our notions of regularity. The judicious, if they compare this
+      piece with the original, will, I flatter myself, find the reasons
+      for the great liberties I have indulged myself in through the whole.
+
+      Longinus has a chapter on interrogations, which shows that they
+      contribute much to the sublime. This speech of the Almighty is made
+      up of them. Interrogation seems indeed the proper style of majesty
+      incensed. It differs from other manner of reproof, as bidding a
+      person execute himself does from a common execution; for he that
+      asks the guilty a proper question, makes him, in effect, pass
+      sentence on himself.
+
+   27 The book of Job is well known to be dramatic, and, like the
+      tragedies of old Greece, is fiction built on truth. Probably this
+      most noble part of it, the Almighty speaking out of the whirlwind,
+      (so suitable to the after-practice of the Greek stage, when there
+      happened _dignus vindice nodus_,) is fictitious; but is a fiction
+      more agreeable to the time in which Job lived, than to any since.
+      Frequent before the law were the appearances of the Almighty after
+      this manner, Exod. c. xix. Ezek. c. i. &c. Hence is he said to
+      "dwell in thick darkness: and have his way in the whirlwind."
+
+   28 There is a very great air in all that precedes, but this is signally
+      sublime. We are struck with admiration to see the vast and
+      ungovernable ocean receiving commands, and punctually obeying them;
+      to find it like a managed horse, raging, tossing, and foaming, but
+      by the rule and direction of its master. This passage yields in
+      sublimity to that of "Let there be light," &c., so much only as the
+      absolute government of nature yields to the creation of it.
+
+   29 Another argument that Moses was the author, is, that most of the
+      creatures here mentioned are Egyptian. The reason given why the
+      raven is particularly mentioned as an object of the care of
+      Providence, is, because by her clamorous and importunate voice, she
+      particularly seems always calling upon it; thence [Greek: korass�, a
+      korax], �lian. l. ii. c. 48, is "to ask earnestly." And since there
+      were ravens on the bank of the Nile more clamorous than the rest of
+      that species, those probably are meant in that place.
+
+   30 There are many instances of this bird's stupidity: let two suffice.
+      First, it covers its head in the reeds, and thinks itself all out of
+      sight,
+
+
+                      Stat lumine clauso
+            Ridendum revoluta caput, creditque latere
+            Qu� non ipsa videt.
+
+                                                                Claud.
+
+
+      Secondly, they that go in pursuit of them, draw the skin of an
+      ostrich's neck on one hand, which proves a sufficient lure to take
+      them with the other.
+
+      They have so little brain, that Heliogabalus had six hundred heads
+      for his supper.
+
+      Here we may observe, that our judicious as well as sublime author,
+      just touches the great points of distinction in each creature, and
+      then hastens to another. A description is exact when you cannot add,
+      but what is common to another thing; nor withdraw, but something
+      peculiarly belonging to the thing described. A likeness is lost in
+      too much description, as a meaning often in too much illustration.
+
+   31 Here is marked another peculiar quality of this creature, which
+      neither flies nor runs directly, but has a motion composed of both,
+      and, using its wings as sails, makes great speed.
+
+
+            Vasta velut Liby� venant�m vocibus ales
+            Cum premitur, calidas cursu transmittit arenas,
+            Inque modum veli sinuatis flamine pennis
+            Pulverulenta volat.
+
+                                                       Claud. in Eutr.
+
+
+   32 Xenophon says, Cyrus had horses that could overtake the goat and the
+      wild ass; but none that could reach this creature. A thousand golden
+      ducats, or a hundred camels, was the stated price of a horse that
+      could equal their speed.
+
+   33 Though this bird is but just mentioned in my author, I could not
+      forbear going a little farther, and spreading those beautiful plumes
+      (which are there shut up) in half a dozen lines. The circumstance I
+      have marked of his opening his plumes to the sun is true. Expandit
+      colores adverso maxime sole, quia sic fulgentius radiant. Plin. l.
+      x. c. 20.
+
+   34 Thyanus (de Re Accip.) mentions a hawk that flew from Paris to
+      London in a night.
+
+      And the Egyptians, in regard to its swiftness, made it their symbol
+      for the wind; for which reason we may suppose the hawk, as well as
+      the crow above, to have been a bird of note in Egypt.
+
+   35 The eagle is said to be of so acute a sight, that when she is so
+      high in air that man cannot see her, she can discern the smallest
+      fish under water. My author accurately understood the nature of the
+      creatures he describes, and seems to have been a naturalist as well
+      as a poet, which the next note will confirm.
+
+   36 The meaning of this question is, Knowest thou the time and
+      circumstances of their bringing forth? For to know the time only was
+      easy, and had nothing extraordinary in it; but the circumstances had
+      something peculiarly expressive of God's providence, which makes the
+      question proper in this place. Pliny observes, that the hind with
+      young is by instinct directed to a certain herb called Seselis,
+      which facilitates the birth. Thunder also (which looks like the more
+      immediate hand of Providence) has the same effect. Ps. xxix. In so
+      early an age to observe these things, may style our author a
+      naturalist.
+
+   37 Pursuing their prey by night is true of most wild beasts,
+      particularly the lion. Ps. cvi. 20. The Arabians have one among
+      their five hundred names for the lion, which signifies "the hunter
+      by moonshine."
+
+           38 Cephissi glaciale caput, quo suetus anhelam
+        Ferre sitim Python, amnemque avertere ponto.
+
+                                                     Stat. Theb. vii. 349.
+
+        Qui spiris tegeret montes, hauriret hiatu
+        Flumina, &c. Claud. Pref. in Ruf.
+
+      Let not then this hyperbole seem too much for an eastern poet,
+      though some commentators of name strain hard in this place for a new
+      construction, through fear of it.
+
+   39 The taking the crocodile is most difficult. Diodorus says, they are
+      not to be taken but by iron nets. When Augustus conquered Egypt, he
+      struck a medal, the impress of which was a crocodile chained to a
+      palm-tree, with this inscription, Nemo antea religavit.
+
+   40 This alludes to a custom of this creature, which is, when sated with
+      fish, to come ashore and sleep among the reeds.
+
+   41 The crocodile's mouth is exceeding wide. When he gapes, says Pliny,
+      sic totum os. Martial says to his old woman,
+
+        Cum comparata rictibus tuis ora
+        Niliacus habet crocodilus angusta.
+
+      So that the expression there is barely just.
+
+   42 This too is nearer the truth than at first view may be imagined. The
+      crocodile, say the naturalists, lying long under water, and being
+      there forced to hold its breath, when it emerges, the breath long
+      represt is hot, and bursts out so violently, that it resembles fire
+      and smoke. The horse suppresses not his breath by any means so long,
+      neither is he so fierce and animated; yet the most correct of poets
+      ventures to use the same metaphor concerning him:
+
+        Collectumque premens volvit sub naribus ignem.
+
+      By this and the foregoing note I would caution against a false
+      opinion of the eastern boldness, from passages in them ill
+      understood.
+
+   43 "His eyes are like the eyelids of the morning." I think this gives
+      us as great an image of the thing it would express as can enter the
+      thought of man. It is not improbable that the Egyptians stole their
+      hieroglyphic for the morning, which is the crocodile's eye, from
+      this passage, though no commentator, I have seen, mentions it. It is
+      easy to conceive how the Egyptians should be both readers and
+      admirers of the writings of Moses, whom I suppose the author of this
+      poem.
+
+      I have observed already that three or four of the creatures here
+      described are Egyptian; the two last are notoriously so, they are
+      the river-horse and the crocodile, those celebrated inhabitants of
+      the Nile; and on these two it is that our author chiefly dwells. It
+      would have been expected from an author more remote from that river
+      than Moses, in a catalogue of creatures produced to magnify their
+      Creator, to have dwelt on the two largest works of his hand, viz.
+      the elephant and the whale. This is so natural an expectation, that
+      some commentators have rendered behemoth and leviathan, the elephant
+      and whale, though the descriptions in our author will not admit of
+      it; but Moses being, as we may well suppose, under an immediate
+      terror of the hippopotamus and crocodile, from their daily mischiefs
+      and ravages around him, it is very accountable why he should permit
+      them to take place.
+
+   44 Though the report was propagated without the least truth, it may be
+      sufficient ground to justify a poetical fancy's enlarging on it.
+
+   45 Lord Aubrey Beauclerk was the eighth son of the Duke of St. Albans,
+      who was one of the sons of King Charles the Second. He was born in
+      the year 1711; and, being regularly bred to the sea service, in 1731
+      he was appointed to the command of his majesty's ship the Ludlow
+      Castle; and he commanded the Prince Frederick at the attack of the
+      harbour of Carthagena, March 24, 1741. This young nobleman was one
+      of the most promising commanders in the king's service. When on the
+      desperate attack of the castle of Bocca Chica, at the entrance of
+      the said harbour, he lost his life, both his legs being first shot
+      off. The prose part of the inscription on his monument was the
+      production of Mrs. Mary Jones of Oxford; who also wrote a poem on
+      his death, printed in her Miscellanies, 8vo, 1752.--_R._

+           Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~}
+
+
+Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic
+works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including
+obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the
+efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks
+of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance
+they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~}'s goals and ensuring
+that the Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} collection will remain freely available for
+generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for
+Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} and future generations. To learn more about the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations
+can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation web page at
+http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.
+
+

+
+
+  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+                                Foundation
+
+
+Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread
+public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the
+number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed
+in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment
+including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are
+particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States.
+Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable
+effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these
+requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not
+received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or
+determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit
+http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have
+not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against
+accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us
+with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any
+statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the
+United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods
+and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including
+checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please
+visit: http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate

+Section 5.
+
+
+      General Information About Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic works.
+
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~}
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with
+anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~}
+eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} eBooks are often created from several printed editions,
+all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright
+notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance
+with any particular paper edition.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's eBook
+number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, compressed
+(zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected _editions_ of our eBooks replace the old file and take over the
+old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed.
+_Versions_ based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+
+    http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~}, including how
+to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation,
+how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email
+newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">These satires have been favourably received at
+home and abroad. I am not conscious of the
+least malevolence to any particular person through
+all the characters; though some persons may be
+so selfish, as to engross a general application to
+themselves. A writer in polite letters should be
+content with reputation; the private amusement
+he finds in his compositions; the good influence
+they have on his severer studies; that admission
+they give him to his superiors; and the possible
+good effect they may have on the public; or else
+he should join to his politeness some more lucrative
+qualification.</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">But it is possible, that satire may not do much
+good: men may rise in their affections to their
+follies, as they do to their friends, when they are
+abused by others: it is much to be feared, that
+
+<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page059">[pg 059]</span><a name="Pg059" id="Pg059" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
+
+misconduct will never be chased out of the world
+by satire; all therefore that is to be said for it is,
+that misconduct will certainly be never chased out
+of the world by satire, if no satires are written:
+nor is that term unapplicable to graver compositions.
+Ethics, heathen and Christian, and the
+Scriptures themselves, are, in a great measure, a
+satire on the weakness and iniquity of men; and
+some part of that satire is in verse too: nay, in
+the first ages, philosophy and poetry were the
+same thing; wisdom wore no other dress: so
+that, I hope, these satires will be the more easily
+pardoned that misfortune by the severe. Nay,
+historians themselves may be considered as satirists,
+and satirists most severe; since such are
+most human actions, that to relate, is to expose
+them.</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">No man can converse much in the world, but,
+at what he meets with, he must either be insensible,
+or grieve, or be angry, or smile. Some
+passion (if we are not impassive) must be moved;
+for the general conduct of mankind is by no
+means a thing indifferent to a reasonable and virtuous
+man. Now to smile at it, and turn it into
+ridicule, I think most eligible; as it hurts ourselves
+least, and gives vice and folly the greatest
+offence: and that for this reason; because what
+men aim at by them, is, generally, public opinion
+and esteem; which truth is the subject of the following
+satire; and joins them together, as several
+
+<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page060">[pg 060]</span><a name="Pg060" id="Pg060" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
+
+brandies from the same root: a unity of design,
+which has not, I think, in a set of satires, been
+attempted before.</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Laughing at the misconduct of the world, will,
+in a great measure, ease us of any more disagreeable
+passion about it. One passion is more effectually
+driven out by another, than by reason;
+whatever some may teach: for to reason we owe
+our passions: had we not reason, we should not
+be offended at what we find amiss: and the cause
+seems not to be the natural cure of any effect.</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Moreover, laughing satire bids the fairest for
+success: the world is too proud to be fond of a
+serious tutor; and when an author is in a passion,
+the laugh, generally, as in conversation, turns
+against him. This kind of satire only has any
+delicacy in it. Of this delicacy Horace is the
+best master: he appears in good humour while he
+censures; and therefore his censure has the more
+weight, as supposed to proceed from judgment,
+not from passion. Juvenal is ever in a passion;
+he has little valuable but his eloquence and morality:
+the last of which I have had in my eye:
+but rather for emulation, than imitation, through
+my whole work.</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">But though I comparatively condemn Juvenal,
+in part of the sixth satire (where the occasion
+most required it), I endeavoured to touch on his
+manner; but was forced to quit it soon, as disagreeable
+to the writer, and reader too. Boileau
+
+<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page061">[pg 061]</span><a name="Pg061" id="Pg061" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
+
+has joined both the Roman satirists with great
+success; but has too much of Juvenal in his very
+serious satire on woman, which should have been
+the gayest of all. An excellent critic of our own
+commends Boileau's closeness, or, as he calls it,
+pressness, particularly; whereas, it appears to
+me, that repetition is his fault, if any fault should
+be imputed to him.</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">There are some prose satirists of the greatest
+delicacy and wit; the last of which can never, or
+should never, succeed without the former. An
+author without it, betrays too great a contempt for
+mankind, and opinion of himself, which are bad advocates
+for reputation and success. What a difference
+is there between the merit, if not the wit, of
+Cervantes and Rabelais? The last has a particular
+art of throwing a great deal of genius and
+learning into frolic and jest; but the genius and
+the scholar is all you can admire; you want the
+gentleman to converse with in him: he is like a
+criminal who receives his life for some services;
+you commend, but you pardon too. Indecency
+offends our pride, as men; and our unaffected
+taste, as judges of composition: nature has wisely
+formed us with an aversion to it; and he that
+succeeds in spite of it, is,<a id="noteref_5" name="noteref_5" href="#note_5"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style="font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">5</span></span></a> aliena venia, quam sua
+providentia tutior.</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Such wits, like false oracles of old (which were
+wits and cheats), should set up for reputation
+
+<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page062">[pg 062]</span><a name="Pg062" id="Pg062" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
+
+among the weak, in some Bœotia, which was the
+land of oracles; for the wise will hold them in
+contempt. Some wits, too, like oracles, deal in
+ambiguities; but not with equal success: for
+though ambiguities are the first excellence of an
+impostor, they are the last of a wit.</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Some satirical wits and humourists, like their
+father Lucian, laugh at every thing indiscriminately;
+which betrays such a poverty of wit, as
+cannot afford to part with any thing; and such a
+want of virtue, as to postpone it to a jest. Such
+writers encourage vice and folly, which they pretend
+to combat, by setting them on an equal foot
+with better things: and while they labour to
+bring every thing into contempt, how can they
+expect their own parts should escape? Some
+French writers, particularly, are guilty of this in
+matters of the last consequence; and some of our
+own. They that are for lessening the true dignity
+of mankind, are not sure of being successful,
+but with regard to one individual in it. It is this
+conduct that justly makes a wit a term of reproach.</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Which puts me in mind of Plato's fable of the
+birth of love; one of the prettiest fables of all antiquity;
+which will hold likewise with regard to
+modern poetry. Love, says he, is the son of the
+goddess poverty, and the god of riches: he has
+from his father his daring genius; his elevation
+of thought; his building castles in the air; his
+
+<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page063">[pg 063]</span><a name="Pg063" id="Pg063" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
+
+prodigality; his neglect of things serious and useful;
+his vain opinion of his own merit; and his
+affectation of preference and distinction: from his
+mother he inherits his indigence, which makes
+him a constant beggar of favours; that importunity
+with which he begs; his flattery; his servility;
+his fear of being despised, which is inseparable
+from him. This addition may be made;
+viz. that poetry, like love, is a little subject to
+blindness, which makes her mistake her way to
+preferments and honours; that she has her satirical
+quiver; and, lastly, that she retains a dutiful
+admiration of her father's family; but divides
+her favours, and generally lives with her mother's
+relations.</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">However, this is not necessity, but choice:
+were wisdom her governess, she might have
+much more of the father than the mother; especially
+in such an age as this, which shows a due
+passion for her charms.</p>

+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">How imperfect soever my own composition may
+be, yet am I willing to speak a word or two, of
+the nature of lyric poetry; to show that I have,
+at least, some idea of perfection in that kind of
+poem in which I am engaged; and that I do not
+think myself poet enough entirely to rely on inspiration
+for success in it.</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">To our having, or not having, this idea of perfection
+in the poem we undertake, is chiefly owing
+the merit or demerit of our performances, as also
+the modesty or vanity of our opinions concerning
+them. And in speaking of it I shall show how it
+unavoidably comes to pass, that bad poets, that is,
+poets in general, are esteemed, and really are, the
+most vain, the most irritable, and most ridiculous
+set of men upon earth. But poetry in its own
+nature is certainly</p>

+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">He that has an idea of perfection in the work
+he undertakes may fail in it; he that has not,
+must: and yet he will be vain. For every little
+degree of beauty, how short or improper soever,
+will be looked on fondly by him; because it is all
+pure gains, and more than he promised to himself;
+and because he has no test, or standard in his
+judgment, with which to chastise his opinion of it.</p>
+
+<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page158">[pg 158]</span><a name="Pg158" id="Pg158" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Now this idea of perfection is, in poetry, more
+refined than in other kinds of writing; and because
+more refined, therefore more difficult; and
+because more difficult, therefore more rarely attained;
+and the non-attainment of it is, as I have
+said, the source of our vanity. Hence the poetic
+clan are more obnoxious to vanity than others.
+And from vanity consequently flows that great
+sensibility of disrespect, that quick resentment,
+that tinder of the mind that kindles at every
+spark, and justly marks them out for the genus
+irritabile among mankind. And from this combustible
+temper, this serious anger for no very
+serious things, things looked on by most as foreign
+to the important points of life, as consequentially
+flows that inheritance of ridicule, which devolves
+on them, from generation to generation. As
+soon as they become authors, they become like
+Ben Jonson's angry boy, and learn the art of
+quarrel.</p>

+

+they show us why good writers have the lowest,

+of this perfection, as their portion of ignorance

+degrees of modesty or conceit.</p>

+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">And as its subjects are sublime, its writer's genius
+should be so too; otherwise it becomes the
+meanest thing in writing, viz. an involuntary burlesque.</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It is the genuine character, and true merit of
+the ode, a little to startle some apprehensions.
+Men of cold complexions are very apt to mistake
+a want of vigour in their imaginations, for a delicacy
+of taste in their judgments; and, like persons
+of a tender sight, they look on bright objects,
+in their natural lustre, as too glaring; what is
+most delightful to a stronger eye, is painful to
+them. Thus Pindar, who has as much logic at
+the bottom as Aristotle or Euclid, to some critics
+has appeared as mad; and must appear so to all
+who enjoy no portion of his own divine spirit.
+Dwarf understandings, measuring others by their
+own standard, are apt to think they see a monster,
+when they see a man.</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">And indeed it seems to be the amends which
+nature makes to those whom she has not blessed
+with an elevation of mind, to indulge them in the
+comfortable mistake, that all is wrong, which falls
+not within the narrow limits of their own comprehensions
+and relish.</p>
+

+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Judgment, indeed, that masculine power of the
+mind, in ode, as in all compositions, should bear
+the supreme sway; and a beautiful imagination,
+as its mistress, should be subdued to its dominion.
+Hence, and hence only, can proceed the fairest
+offspring of the human mind.</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">But then in ode, there is this difference from
+other kinds of poetry; that, there, the imagination,
+like a very beautiful mistress, is indulged in
+the appearance of domineering; though the judgment,
+like an artful lover, in reality carries its
+point; and the less it is suspected of it, it shows
+the more masterly conduct, and deserves the
+greater commendation.</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It holds true in this province of writing, as in
+war, "The more danger; the more honour." It
+must be very enterprising: it must, in Shakespeare's
+style, have hairbreadth 'scapes; and often
+tread the very brink of error: nor can it ever
+deserve the applause of the real judge, unless it
+renders itself obnoxious to the misapprehensions
+of the contrary.</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Such is Casimire's strain among the moderns,
+whose lively wit, and happy fire, is an honour to
+them. And Buchanan might justly be much admired,
+if any thing more than the sweetness of
+his numbers, and the purity of his diction, were
+his own: his original, from which I have taken
+my motto, through all the disadvantages of a
+northern prose translation, is still admirable; and,

+Cowley says, as preferable in beauty to Buchanan,
+as Judæa is to Scotland.</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Pindar, Anacreon, Sappho, and Horace, are
+the great masters of lyric poetry among Heathen
+writers. Pindar's muse, like Sacharissa, is
+a stately, imperious, and accomplished beauty;
+equally disdaining the use of art, and the fear of
+any rival; so intoxicating that it was the highest
+commendation that could be given an ancient, that
+he was not afraid to taste of her charms;</p>

+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Anacreon's Muse is like Amoret, most sweet,
+natural, and delicate; all over flowers, graces,
+and charms; inspiring complacency, not awe; and
+she seems to have good nature enough to admit a
+rival, which she cannot find.</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sappho's Muse, like Lady ——, is passionately
+tender, and glowing; like oil set on fire, she is
+soft, and warm, in excess. Sappho has left us a
+few fragments only; time has swallowed the rest;
+but that little which remains, like the remaining
+jewel of Cleopatra, after the other was dissolved at
+her banquet, may be esteemed (as was that jewel)
+a sufficient ornament for the goddess of beauty
+herself.</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Horace's Muse (like one I shall not presume to
+name) is correct, solid, and moral; she joins all
+the sweetness and majesty, all the sense and the
+
+<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page163">[pg 163]</span><a name="Pg163" id="Pg163" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
+
+fire of the former, in the justest proportions and
+degrees; superadding a felicity of dress entirely
+her own. She moreover is distinguishable by this
+particularity, that she abounds in hidden graces,
+and secret charms, which none but the discerning
+can discover; nor are any capable of doing full
+justice, in their opinion to her excellencies, without
+giving the world, at the same time, an incontestable
+proof of refinement in their own understandings.</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">But, after all, to the honour of our own country
+I must add, that I think Mr. Dryden's Ode on St.
+Cecilia's Day inferior to no composition of this
+kind. Its chief beauty consists in adapting the
+numbers most happily to the variety of the occasion.
+Those by which he has chosen to express
+majesty, (viz.)</p>

+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">are chosen in the following ode, because the subject
+of it is great.</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">For the more harmony likewise, I chose the
+frequent return of rhyme; which laid me under
+great difficulties. But difficulties overcome give
+grace and pleasure. Nor can I account for the
+pleasure of rhyme in general (of which the moderns
+are too fond) but from this truth.</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">But then the writer must take care that the
+difficulty is overcome. That is, he must make
+
+<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page164">[pg 164]</span><a name="Pg164" id="Pg164" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
+
+rhyme consistent with as perfect sense, and expression,
+as could be expected if he was free from
+that shackle. Otherwise, it gives neither grace to
+the work, nor pleasure to the reader, nor, consequently,
+reputation to the poet.</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">To sum the whole: ode should be peculiar, but
+not strained; moral, but not flat; natural, but not
+obvious; delicate, but not affected; noble, but not
+ambitious; full, but not obscure; fiery, but not
+mad; thick, but not loaded in its numbers, which
+should be most harmonious, without the least
+sacrifice of expression, or of sense. Above all, in
+this, as in every work of genius, somewhat of an
+original spirit should be, at least attempted; otherwise
+the poet, whose character disclaims mediocrity,
+makes a secondary praise his ultimate
+ambition; which has something of a contradiction
+in it. Originals only have true life, and differ as
+much from the best imitations, as men from the
+most animated pictures of them. Nor is what I
+say at all inconsistent with a due deference for
+the great standards of antiquity; nay, that very
+deference is an argument for it, for doubtless their
+example is on my side in this matter. And we
+should rather imitate their example in the general
+motives, and fundamental methods of their working,
+than in their works themselves. This is a
+distinction, I think, not hitherto made, and a distinction
+of consequence. For the first may make
+us their equals; the second must pronounce us
+
+<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page165">[pg 165]</span><a name="Pg165" id="Pg165" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
+
+their inferiors even in our utmost success. But
+the first of these prizes is not so readily taken by
+the moderns; as valuables too massy for easy carriage
+are not so liable to the thief.</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The ancients had a particular regard to the choice
+of their subjects; which were generally national
+and great. My subject is, in its own nature, noble;
+most proper for an Englishman; never more
+proper than on this occasion; and (what is strange)
+hitherto unsung.</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">If I stand not absolutely condemned by my own
+rules; if I have hit the spirit of ode in general;

+
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">My Lord,</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Though I have not the honour of being known
+to your lordship, I presume to take a privilege
+which men of retirement are apt to think themselves
+in possession of, as being the only method
+they have of making their way to persons of your
+lordship's high station without struggling through
+multitudes for access. I may possibly fail in my
+respect to your lordship, even while I endeavour
+to show it most; but if I err, it is because I
+imagined I ought not to make my first approach
+to one of your lordship's exalted character with
+less ceremony than that of a dedication. It is
+annexed to the condition of eminent merit, not to
+suffer more from the malice of its enemies, than
+from the importunity of its admirers; and perhaps
+
+<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page184">[pg 184]</span><a name="Pg184" id="Pg184" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
+
+it would be unjust, that your lordship should
+hope to be exempted from the troubles, when you
+possess all the talents, of a patron.</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">I have here a fair occasion to celebrate those
+sublime qualities, of which a whole nation is sensible,
+were it not inconsistent with the design of
+my present application. By the just discharge of
+your great employments, your lordship may well
+deserve the prayers of the distressed, the thanks
+of your country, and the approbation of your
+royal master: this indeed is a reason why every
+good Briton should applaud your lordship; but it
+is equally a reason why none should disturb you
+in the execution of your important affairs by
+works of fancy and amusement. I was therefore
+induced to make this address to your lordship, by
+considering you rather in the amiable light of a
+person distinguished for a refined taste of the polite
+arts, and the candour that usually attends it,
+than in the dignity of your public character.</p>
+
+<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The greatness and solemnity of the subjects
+treated of in the following work cannot fail in
+some measure to recommend it to a person who
+holds in the utmost veneration those sacred books
+from which it is taken; and would at the same
+time justify to the world my choice of the great
+name prefixed to it, could I be assured that the
+undertaking had not suffered in my hands. Thus
+much I think myself obliged to say; that if this
+little performance had not been very indulgently
+
+<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page185">[pg 185]</span><a name="Pg185" id="Pg185" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
+
+spoken of by some, whose judgment is universally
+allowed in writings of this nature, I had not
+dared to gratify my ambition in offering it to
+your lordship: I am sensible that I am endeavouring
+to excuse one vanity by another; but I hope
+I shall meet with pardon for it, since it is visibly
+intended to show the great submission and respect
+with which I am, my lord, your lordship's
+most obedient and most humble servant,</p>

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Attend me, all the glorious worlds around!</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 4">Man, bear thy brow aloft, view every grace</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">In God's great offspring, beauteous nature's face:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">See spring's gay bloom; see golden autumn's store;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">See how earth smiles, and hear old ocean roar.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Leviathans but heave their cumbrous mail,</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Here, rivers measure climes, and worlds divide;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">There, valleys fraught with gold's resplendent seeds,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Hold kings, and kingdoms' fortunes, in their beds:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">There, to the skies, aspiring hills ascend,</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">View cities, armies, fleets; of fleets the pride,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">See Europe's law, in Albion's channel ride.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">View the whole earth's vast landscape unconfin'd,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Or view in Britain all her glories join'd.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">Then let the firmament thy wonder raise;</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">How far from east to west? the lab'ring eye</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Can scarce the distant azure bounds descry:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Wide theatre! where tempests play at large,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And God's right hand can all its wrath discharge.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Mark how those radiant lamps inflame the pole,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Call forth the seasons, and the year control:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">They shine thro' time, with an unalter'd ray:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">See this grand period rise, and that decay:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">So vast, this world's a grain; yet myriads grace,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">With golden pomp, the throng'd ethereal space;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">So bright, with such a wealth of glory stor'd,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">'Twere sin in heathens not to have ador'd.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">How great, how firm, how sacred, all appears!</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">How worthy an immortal round of years!</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Yet all must drop, as autumn's sickliest grain,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And earth and firmament be sought in vain:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">The tract forgot where constellations shone,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Or where the Stuarts fill'd an awful throne:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Time shall be slain, all nature be destroy'd,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Nor leave an atom in the mighty void.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">Sooner, or later, in some future date,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">(A dreadful secret in the book of fate!)</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">This hour, for aught all human wisdom knows,</l>

+<pb n="004" /><anchor id="Pg004" />
+
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Or when ten thousand harvests more have rose;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">When scenes are chang'd on this revolving earth,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Old empires fall, and give new empires birth;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">While other Bourbons rule in other lands,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And (if man's sin forbids not) other Annes;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">While the still busy world is treading o'er</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">The paths they trod five thousand years before,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Thoughtless as those who now life's mazes run,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Of earth dissolv'd, or an extinguish'd sun;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">(Ye sublunary worlds, awake, awake!</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Ye rulers of the nation, hear, and shake!)</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Thick clouds of darkness shall arise on day;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">In sudden night all earth's dominions lay;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Impetuous winds the scatter'd forests rend;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Eternal mountains, like their cedars, bend:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">The valleys yawn, the troubled ocean roar,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And break the bondage of his wonted shore;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">A sanguine stain the silver moon o'erspread;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Darkness the circle of the sun invade;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">From inmost heaven incessant thunders roll,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And the strong echo bound from pole to pole.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">When, lo, a mighty trump, one half conceal'd</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">In clouds, one half to mortal eye reveal'd,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Shall pour a dreadful note; the piercing call</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Shall rattle in the centre of the ball;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Th' extended circuit of creation shake,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">The living die with fear, the dead awake.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">Oh powerful blast! to which no equal sound</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Did e'er the frighted ear of nature wound,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Tho' rival clarions have been strain'd on high,</l>

+<pb n="005" /><anchor id="Pg005" />

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">The rebel angels bellow'd in their fall.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">Have angels sinn'd? and shall not man beware?</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">How shall a son of earth decline the snare?</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Not folded arms, and slackness of the mind,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Can promise for the safety of mankind:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">None are supinely good: thro' care and pain</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And various arts, the steep ascent we gain.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">This is the scene of combat, not of rest,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Man's is laborious happiness at best;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">On this side death his dangers never cease,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">His joys are joys of conquest, not of peace.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">If then, obsequious to the will of fate,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And bending to the terms of human state,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">When guilty joys invite us to their arms,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">When beauty smiles, or grandeur spreads her charms,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">The conscious soul would this great scene display,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Call down th' immortal hosts in dread array,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">The trumpet sound, the Christian banner spread,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And raise from silent graves the trembling dead;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Such deep impression would the picture make,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">No power on earth her firm resolve could shake;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Engag'd with angels she would greatly stand,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And look regardless down on sea and land;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Not proffer'd worlds her ardour could restrain,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And death might shake his threat'ning lance in vain!</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Her certain conquest would endear the sight,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And danger serve but to exalt delight.</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">To leave her beauteous cheek all cold and wan.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">New sorrow dimm'd the lustre of her eye,</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Slow, like a ghost, he mov'd with solemn pace;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">A dying paleness sat upon his face.</l>

+
+<p>These satires have been favourably received at
+home and abroad. I am not conscious of the
+least malevolence to any particular person through
+all the characters; though some persons may be
+so selfish, as to engross a general application to
+themselves. A writer in polite letters should be
+content with reputation; the private amusement
+he finds in his compositions; the good influence
+they have on his severer studies; that admission
+they give him to his superiors; and the possible
+good effect they may have on the public; or else
+he should join to his politeness some more lucrative
+qualification.</p>
+
+<p>But it is possible, that satire may not do much
+good: men may rise in their affections to their
+follies, as they do to their friends, when they are
+abused by others: it is much to be feared, that
+
+<pb n="059" /><anchor id="Pg059" />
+
+misconduct will never be chased out of the world
+by satire; all therefore that is to be said for it is,
+that misconduct will certainly be never chased out
+of the world by satire, if no satires are written:
+nor is that term unapplicable to graver compositions.
+Ethics, heathen and Christian, and the
+Scriptures themselves, are, in a great measure, a
+satire on the weakness and iniquity of men; and
+some part of that satire is in verse too: nay, in
+the first ages, philosophy and poetry were the
+same thing; wisdom wore no other dress: so
+that, I hope, these satires will be the more easily
+pardoned that misfortune by the severe. Nay,
+historians themselves may be considered as satirists,
+and satirists most severe; since such are
+most human actions, that to relate, is to expose
+them.</p>
+
+<p>No man can converse much in the world, but,
+at what he meets with, he must either be insensible,
+or grieve, or be angry, or smile. Some
+passion (if we are not impassive) must be moved;
+for the general conduct of mankind is by no
+means a thing indifferent to a reasonable and virtuous
+man. Now to smile at it, and turn it into
+ridicule, I think most eligible; as it hurts ourselves
+least, and gives vice and folly the greatest
+offence: and that for this reason; because what
+men aim at by them, is, generally, public opinion
+and esteem; which truth is the subject of the following
+satire; and joins them together, as several
+
+<pb n="060" /><anchor id="Pg060" />
+
+brandies from the same root: a unity of design,
+which has not, I think, in a set of satires, been
+attempted before.</p>
+
+<p>Laughing at the misconduct of the world, will,
+in a great measure, ease us of any more disagreeable
+passion about it. One passion is more effectually
+driven out by another, than by reason;
+whatever some may teach: for to reason we owe
+our passions: had we not reason, we should not
+be offended at what we find amiss: and the cause
+seems not to be the natural cure of any effect.</p>
+
+<p>Moreover, laughing satire bids the fairest for
+success: the world is too proud to be fond of a
+serious tutor; and when an author is in a passion,
+the laugh, generally, as in conversation, turns
+against him. This kind of satire only has any
+delicacy in it. Of this delicacy Horace is the
+best master: he appears in good humour while he
+censures; and therefore his censure has the more
+weight, as supposed to proceed from judgment,
+not from passion. Juvenal is ever in a passion;
+he has little valuable but his eloquence and morality:
+the last of which I have had in my eye:
+but rather for emulation, than imitation, through
+my whole work.</p>
+
+<p>But though I comparatively condemn Juvenal,
+in part of the sixth satire (where the occasion
+most required it), I endeavoured to touch on his
+manner; but was forced to quit it soon, as disagreeable
+to the writer, and reader too. Boileau
+
+<pb n="061" /><anchor id="Pg061" />
+
+has joined both the Roman satirists with great
+success; but has too much of Juvenal in his very
+serious satire on woman, which should have been
+the gayest of all. An excellent critic of our own
+commends Boileau's closeness, or, as he calls it,
+pressness, particularly; whereas, it appears to
+me, that repetition is his fault, if any fault should
+be imputed to him.</p>
+
+<p>There are some prose satirists of the greatest
+delicacy and wit; the last of which can never, or
+should never, succeed without the former. An
+author without it, betrays too great a contempt for
+mankind, and opinion of himself, which are bad advocates
+for reputation and success. What a difference
+is there between the merit, if not the wit, of
+Cervantes and Rabelais? The last has a particular
+art of throwing a great deal of genius and
+learning into frolic and jest; but the genius and
+the scholar is all you can admire; you want the
+gentleman to converse with in him: he is like a
+criminal who receives his life for some services;
+you commend, but you pardon too. Indecency
+offends our pride, as men; and our unaffected
+taste, as judges of composition: nature has wisely
+formed us with an aversion to it; and he that
+succeeds in spite of it, is,<note place="foot"><p>Val. Max.</p></note> aliena venia, quam sua
+providentia tutior.</p>
+
+<p>Such wits, like false oracles of old (which were
+wits and cheats), should set up for reputation
+
+<pb n="062" /><anchor id="Pg062" />
+
+among the weak, in some B&oelig;otia, which was the
+land of oracles; for the wise will hold them in
+contempt. Some wits, too, like oracles, deal in
+ambiguities; but not with equal success: for
+though ambiguities are the first excellence of an
+impostor, they are the last of a wit.</p>
+
+<p>Some satirical wits and humourists, like their
+father Lucian, laugh at every thing indiscriminately;
+which betrays such a poverty of wit, as
+cannot afford to part with any thing; and such a
+want of virtue, as to postpone it to a jest. Such
+writers encourage vice and folly, which they pretend
+to combat, by setting them on an equal foot
+with better things: and while they labour to
+bring every thing into contempt, how can they
+expect their own parts should escape? Some
+French writers, particularly, are guilty of this in
+matters of the last consequence; and some of our
+own. They that are for lessening the true dignity
+of mankind, are not sure of being successful,
+but with regard to one individual in it. It is this
+conduct that justly makes a wit a term of reproach.</p>
+
+<p>Which puts me in mind of Plato's fable of the
+birth of love; one of the prettiest fables of all antiquity;
+which will hold likewise with regard to
+modern poetry. Love, says he, is the son of the
+goddess poverty, and the god of riches: he has
+from his father his daring genius; his elevation
+of thought; his building castles in the air; his
+
+<pb n="063" /><anchor id="Pg063" />
+
+prodigality; his neglect of things serious and useful;
+his vain opinion of his own merit; and his
+affectation of preference and distinction: from his
+mother he inherits his indigence, which makes
+him a constant beggar of favours; that importunity
+with which he begs; his flattery; his servility;
+his fear of being despised, which is inseparable
+from him. This addition may be made;
+viz. that poetry, like love, is a little subject to
+blindness, which makes her mistake her way to
+preferments and honours; that she has her satirical
+quiver; and, lastly, that she retains a dutiful
+admiration of her father's family; but divides
+her favours, and generally lives with her mother's
+relations.</p>
+
+<p>However, this is not necessity, but choice:
+were wisdom her governess, she might have
+much more of the father than the mother; especially
+in such an age as this, which shows a due
+passion for her charms.</p>

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Nor least advantage has the fair to plead,</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 4">Amasia hates a prude, and scorns restraint;</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">So gay her air, her conduct is so free,</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Her cushion's threadbare with her constant prayers.</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">If no disease reduce her pride before,</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">If she can work in gold, 'tis better still.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">If Tullia had been blest with half her sense,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">None could too much admire her excellence:</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">With understanding she is quite o'errun;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And by too great accomplishments undone:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">With skill she vibrates her eternal tongue,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">For ever most divinely in the wrong.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">Naked in nothing should a woman be;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">But veil her very wit with modesty:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Let man discover, let not her display,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">But yield her charms of mind with sweet delay.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">For pleasure form'd, perversely some believe,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">To make themselves important, men must grieve.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Lesbia the fair, to fire her jealous lord,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Pretends, the fop she laughs at, is ador'd.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">In vain she's proud of secret innocence;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">The fact she fains were scarce a worse offence.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">Mira, endow'd with every charm to bless,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Has no design, but on her husband's peace:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">He lov'd her much; and greatly was he mov'd</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">At small inquietudes in her he lov'd.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">"How charming this!"—The pleasure lasted long;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Now every day the fits come thick and strong:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">At last he found the charmer only feign'd;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And was diverted when he should be pain'd.</l>
+
+<pb n="127" /><anchor id="Pg127" />
+
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">What greater vengeance had the gods in store?</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">How tedious life, now she can plague no more!</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">She tries a thousand arts; but none succeed:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">She's forc'd a fever to procure indeed:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Thus strictly prov'd this virtuous, loving wife,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Her husband's pain was dearer than her life.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">Anxious Melania rises to my view,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Who never thinks her lover pays his due:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Visit, present, treat, flatter, and adore;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Her majesty, to-morrow, calls for more.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">His wounded ears complaints eternal fill,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">As unoil'd hinges, querulously shrill.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">"You went last night with Celia to the ball."</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">You prove it false. "Not go! that's worst of all."</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Nothing can please her, nothing not inflame;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And arrant contradictions are the same.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Her lover must be sad, to please her spleen;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">His mirth is an inexpiable sin:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">For of all rivals that can pain her breast,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">There's one, that wounds far deeper than the rest;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">To wreck her quiet, the most dreadful shelf</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Is if her lover dares enjoy himself.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">And this, because she's exquisitely fair:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Should I dispute her beauty, how she'd stare!</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">How would Melania be surpris'd to hear</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">She's quite deform'd! And yet the case is clear;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">What's female beauty, but an air divine,</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Yet reaps no fruit from her superior sense,</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Life, that supports them, in a moment breaks;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Then wrought into the soul let virtues shine;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">The ground eternal, as the work divine.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">Julia's a manager; she's born for rule;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And knows her wiser husband is a fool;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Assemblies holds, and spins the subtle thread</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">That guides the lover to his fair one's bed:</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 4">Ladies supreme among amusements reign;</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Her judgment just, her sentence is too strong;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Because she's right, she's ever in the wrong.</l>

+<head rend="text-align: center">On Lyric Poetry.</head>
+
+<p>How imperfect soever my own composition may
+be, yet am I willing to speak a word or two, of
+the nature of lyric poetry; to show that I have,
+at least, some idea of perfection in that kind of
+poem in which I am engaged; and that I do not
+think myself poet enough entirely to rely on inspiration
+for success in it.</p>
+
+<p>To our having, or not having, this idea of perfection
+in the poem we undertake, is chiefly owing
+the merit or demerit of our performances, as also
+the modesty or vanity of our opinions concerning
+them. And in speaking of it I shall show how it
+unavoidably comes to pass, that bad poets, that is,
+poets in general, are esteemed, and really are, the
+most vain, the most irritable, and most ridiculous
+set of men upon earth. But poetry in its own
+nature is certainly</p>
+
+<quote rend="display">

+</lg>

+</quote>
+
+<p>He that has an idea of perfection in the work
+he undertakes may fail in it; he that has not,
+must: and yet he will be vain. For every little
+degree of beauty, how short or improper soever,
+will be looked on fondly by him; because it is all
+pure gains, and more than he promised to himself;
+and because he has no test, or standard in his
+judgment, with which to chastise his opinion of it.</p>
+
+<pb n="158" /><anchor id="Pg158" />
+
+<p>Now this idea of perfection is, in poetry, more
+refined than in other kinds of writing; and because
+more refined, therefore more difficult; and
+because more difficult, therefore more rarely attained;
+and the non-attainment of it is, as I have
+said, the source of our vanity. Hence the poetic
+clan are more obnoxious to vanity than others.
+And from vanity consequently flows that great
+sensibility of disrespect, that quick resentment,
+that tinder of the mind that kindles at every
+spark, and justly marks them out for the genus
+irritabile among mankind. And from this combustible
+temper, this serious anger for no very
+serious things, things looked on by most as foreign
+to the important points of life, as consequentially
+flows that inheritance of ridicule, which devolves
+on them, from generation to generation. As
+soon as they become authors, they become like
+Ben Jonson's angry boy, and learn the art of
+quarrel.</p>

+
+<p>But to return. He that has this idea of perfection
+in the work he undertakes, however successful
+he is, will yet be modest; because to rise
+up to that idea, which he proposed for his model,
+is almost, if not absolutely, impossible.</p>
+
+<p>These two observations account for what may
+seem as strange, as it is infallibly true; I mean,
+they show us why good writers have the lowest,
+and bad writers the highest, opinion of their own
+performances. They who have only a partial idea
+of this perfection, as their portion of ignorance
+or knowledge of it is greater or less, have proportionable
+degrees of modesty or conceit.</p>
+
+<p>Nor, though natural good understanding makes
+a tolerably just judgment in things of this nature,
+will the reader judge the worse, for forming to
+himself a notion of what he ought to expect from
+the piece he has in hand, before he begins his
+perusal of it.</p>
+
+<p>The ode, as it is the eldest kind of poetry, so it
+is more spiritous, and more remote from prose,
+than any other, in sense, sound, expression, and
+conduct. Its thoughts should be uncommon, sublime,
+and moral; its numbers full, easy, and most
+harmonious; its expression pure, strong, delicate,
+yet unaffected; and of a curious felicity beyond
+other poems; its conduct should be rapturous,
+somewhat abrupt, and immethodical to a vulgar
+eye. That apparent order, and connexion, which
+gives form and life to some compositions, takes
+
+<pb n="160" /><anchor id="Pg160" />
+
+away the very soul of this. Fire, elevation, and
+select thought, are indispensable; an humble,
+tame, and vulgar ode is the most pitiful error a
+pen can commit.</p>
+
+<quote rend="display">
+<lg>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Musa dedit fidibus divos, puerosque deorum.</l>
+</lg>
+</quote>
+
+<p>And as its subjects are sublime, its writer's genius
+should be so too; otherwise it becomes the
+meanest thing in writing, viz. an involuntary burlesque.</p>
+
+<p>It is the genuine character, and true merit of
+the ode, a little to startle some apprehensions.
+Men of cold complexions are very apt to mistake
+a want of vigour in their imaginations, for a delicacy
+of taste in their judgments; and, like persons
+of a tender sight, they look on bright objects,
+in their natural lustre, as too glaring; what is
+most delightful to a stronger eye, is painful to
+them. Thus Pindar, who has as much logic at
+the bottom as Aristotle or Euclid, to some critics
+has appeared as mad; and must appear so to all
+who enjoy no portion of his own divine spirit.
+Dwarf understandings, measuring others by their
+own standard, are apt to think they see a monster,
+when they see a man.</p>
+
+<p>And indeed it seems to be the amends which
+nature makes to those whom she has not blessed
+with an elevation of mind, to indulge them in the
+comfortable mistake, that all is wrong, which falls
+not within the narrow limits of their own comprehensions
+and relish.</p>
+
+<pb n="161" /><anchor id="Pg161" />
+
+<p>Judgment, indeed, that masculine power of the
+mind, in ode, as in all compositions, should bear
+the supreme sway; and a beautiful imagination,
+as its mistress, should be subdued to its dominion.
+Hence, and hence only, can proceed the fairest
+offspring of the human mind.</p>
+
+<p>But then in ode, there is this difference from
+other kinds of poetry; that, there, the imagination,
+like a very beautiful mistress, is indulged in
+the appearance of domineering; though the judgment,
+like an artful lover, in reality carries its
+point; and the less it is suspected of it, it shows
+the more masterly conduct, and deserves the
+greater commendation.</p>
+
+<p>It holds true in this province of writing, as in
+war, "The more danger; the more honour." It
+must be very enterprising: it must, in Shakespeare's
+style, have hairbreadth 'scapes; and often
+tread the very brink of error: nor can it ever
+deserve the applause of the real judge, unless it
+renders itself obnoxious to the misapprehensions
+of the contrary.</p>
+
+<p>Such is Casimire's strain among the moderns,
+whose lively wit, and happy fire, is an honour to
+them. And Buchanan might justly be much admired,
+if any thing more than the sweetness of
+his numbers, and the purity of his diction, were
+his own: his original, from which I have taken
+my motto, through all the disadvantages of a
+northern prose translation, is still admirable; and,
+
+<pb n="162" /><anchor id="Pg162" />
+
+Cowley says, as preferable in beauty to Buchanan,
+as Judæa is to Scotland.</p>
+
+<p>Pindar, Anacreon, Sappho, and Horace, are
+the great masters of lyric poetry among Heathen
+writers. Pindar's muse, like Sacharissa, is
+a stately, imperious, and accomplished beauty;
+equally disdaining the use of art, and the fear of
+any rival; so intoxicating that it was the highest
+commendation that could be given an ancient, that
+he was not afraid to taste of her charms;</p>
+
+<quote rend="display">
+<lg>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Pindarici fontis qui non expalluit haustus;</l>
+</lg>
+</quote>
+
+<p>a danger which Horace declares he durst not run.</p>
+
+<p>Anacreon's Muse is like Amoret, most sweet,
+natural, and delicate; all over flowers, graces,
+and charms; inspiring complacency, not awe; and
+she seems to have good nature enough to admit a
+rival, which she cannot find.</p>
+
+<p>Sappho's Muse, like Lady ——, is passionately
+tender, and glowing; like oil set on fire, she is
+soft, and warm, in excess. Sappho has left us a
+few fragments only; time has swallowed the rest;
+but that little which remains, like the remaining
+jewel of Cleopatra, after the other was dissolved at
+her banquet, may be esteemed (as was that jewel)
+a sufficient ornament for the goddess of beauty
+herself.</p>
+
+<p>Horace's Muse (like one I shall not presume to
+name) is correct, solid, and moral; she joins all
+the sweetness and majesty, all the sense and the
+
+<pb n="163" /><anchor id="Pg163" />
+
+fire of the former, in the justest proportions and
+degrees; superadding a felicity of dress entirely
+her own. She moreover is distinguishable by this
+particularity, that she abounds in hidden graces,
+and secret charms, which none but the discerning
+can discover; nor are any capable of doing full
+justice, in their opinion to her excellencies, without
+giving the world, at the same time, an incontestable
+proof of refinement in their own understandings.</p>
+
+<p>But, after all, to the honour of our own country
+I must add, that I think Mr. Dryden's Ode on St.
+Cecilia's Day inferior to no composition of this
+kind. Its chief beauty consists in adapting the
+numbers most happily to the variety of the occasion.
+Those by which he has chosen to express
+majesty, (viz.)</p>
+
+<quote rend="display">

+</lg>
+</quote>
+
+<p>are chosen in the following ode, because the subject
+of it is great.</p>
+
+<p>For the more harmony likewise, I chose the
+frequent return of rhyme; which laid me under
+great difficulties. But difficulties overcome give
+grace and pleasure. Nor can I account for the
+pleasure of rhyme in general (of which the moderns
+are too fond) but from this truth.</p>
+
+<p>But then the writer must take care that the
+difficulty is overcome. That is, he must make
+
+<pb n="164" /><anchor id="Pg164" />
+
+rhyme consistent with as perfect sense, and expression,
+as could be expected if he was free from
+that shackle. Otherwise, it gives neither grace to
+the work, nor pleasure to the reader, nor, consequently,
+reputation to the poet.</p>
+
+<p>To sum the whole: ode should be peculiar, but
+not strained; moral, but not flat; natural, but not
+obvious; delicate, but not affected; noble, but not
+ambitious; full, but not obscure; fiery, but not
+mad; thick, but not loaded in its numbers, which
+should be most harmonious, without the least
+sacrifice of expression, or of sense. Above all, in
+this, as in every work of genius, somewhat of an
+original spirit should be, at least attempted; otherwise
+the poet, whose character disclaims mediocrity,
+makes a secondary praise his ultimate
+ambition; which has something of a contradiction
+in it. Originals only have true life, and differ as
+much from the best imitations, as men from the
+most animated pictures of them. Nor is what I
+say at all inconsistent with a due deference for
+the great standards of antiquity; nay, that very
+deference is an argument for it, for doubtless their
+example is on my side in this matter. And we
+should rather imitate their example in the general
+motives, and fundamental methods of their working,
+than in their works themselves. This is a
+distinction, I think, not hitherto made, and a distinction
+of consequence. For the first may make
+us their equals; the second must pronounce us
+
+<pb n="165" /><anchor id="Pg165" />
+
+their inferiors even in our utmost success. But
+the first of these prizes is not so readily taken by
+the moderns; as valuables too massy for easy carriage
+are not so liable to the thief.</p>
+
+<p>The ancients had a particular regard to the choice
+of their subjects; which were generally national
+and great. My subject is, in its own nature, noble;
+most proper for an Englishman; never more
+proper than on this occasion; and (what is strange)
+hitherto unsung.</p>
+
+<p>If I stand not absolutely condemned by my own
+rules; if I have hit the spirit of ode in general;
+if I cannot think with Mr. Cowley, that "Music
+alone, sometimes, makes an excellent ode;"</p>

+<head rend="text-align: center">A Paraphrase on Part of the Book of Job.<note place="foot"><p>It is disputed amongst the critics who was the author of
+the book of Job; some give it to Moses, some to others. As I
+was engaged in this little performance, some arguments occurred
+to me which favour the former of those opinions;
+which arguments I have flung into the following notes, where
+little else is to be expected.</p></note></head>
+<head rend="text-align: center" type="sub">To the Right Honourable Thomas Lord Parker, Baron of Macclesfield, Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain, etc. etc.</head>
+
+
+<p>My Lord,</p>
+
+<p>Though I have not the honour of being known
+to your lordship, I presume to take a privilege
+which men of retirement are apt to think themselves
+in possession of, as being the only method
+they have of making their way to persons of your
+lordship's high station without struggling through
+multitudes for access. I may possibly fail in my
+respect to your lordship, even while I endeavour
+to show it most; but if I err, it is because I
+imagined I ought not to make my first approach
+to one of your lordship's exalted character with
+less ceremony than that of a dedication. It is
+annexed to the condition of eminent merit, not to
+suffer more from the malice of its enemies, than
+from the importunity of its admirers; and perhaps
+
+<pb n="184" /><anchor id="Pg184" />
+
+it would be unjust, that your lordship should
+hope to be exempted from the troubles, when you
+possess all the talents, of a patron.</p>
+
+<p>I have here a fair occasion to celebrate those
+sublime qualities, of which a whole nation is sensible,
+were it not inconsistent with the design of
+my present application. By the just discharge of
+your great employments, your lordship may well
+deserve the prayers of the distressed, the thanks
+of your country, and the approbation of your
+royal master: this indeed is a reason why every
+good Briton should applaud your lordship; but it
+is equally a reason why none should disturb you
+in the execution of your important affairs by
+works of fancy and amusement. I was therefore
+induced to make this address to your lordship, by
+considering you rather in the amiable light of a
+person distinguished for a refined taste of the polite
+arts, and the candour that usually attends it,
+than in the dignity of your public character.</p>
+
+<p>The greatness and solemnity of the subjects
+treated of in the following work cannot fail in
+some measure to recommend it to a person who
+holds in the utmost veneration those sacred books
+from which it is taken; and would at the same
+time justify to the world my choice of the great
+name prefixed to it, could I be assured that the
+undertaking had not suffered in my hands. Thus
+much I think myself obliged to say; that if this
+little performance had not been very indulgently
+
+<pb n="185" /><anchor id="Pg185" />
+
+spoken of by some, whose judgment is universally
+allowed in writings of this nature, I had not
+dared to gratify my ambition in offering it to
+your lordship: I am sensible that I am endeavouring
+to excuse one vanity by another; but I hope
+I shall meet with pardon for it, since it is visibly
+intended to show the great submission and respect
+with which I am, my lord, your lordship's
+most obedient and most humble servant,</p>

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Thrice happy Job<note place="foot"><p>The Almighty's speech, chapter xxxviii. &amp;c. which is
+what I paraphrase in this little work, is by much the finest
+part of the noblest and most ancient poem in the world.
+Bishop Patrick says, its grandeur is as much above all other
+poetry, as thunder is louder than a whisper. In order to set
+this distinguished part of the poem in a fuller light, and give
+the reader a clearer conception of it, I have abridged the preceding
+and subsequent parts of the poem, and joined them to
+it; so that this piece is a sort of an epitome of the whole book
+of Job.</p>
+
+<p>I use the word paraphrase, because I want another which
+might better answer to the uncommon liberties I have taken.
+I have omitted, added, and transposed. The mountain, the
+comet, the sun, and other parts, are entirely added: those
+upon the peacock, the lion, &amp;c. are much enlarged; and I
+have thrown the whole into a method more suited to our notions
+of regularity. The judicious, if they compare this piece
+with the original, will, I flatter myself, find the reasons for
+the great liberties I have indulged myself in through the
+whole.</p>
+
+<p>Longinus has a chapter on interrogations, which shows that
+they contribute much to the sublime. This speech of the Almighty
+is made up of them. Interrogation seems indeed the
+proper style of majesty incensed. It differs from other manner
+of reproof, as bidding a person execute himself does from
+a common execution; for he that asks the guilty a proper
+question, makes him, in effect, pass sentence on himself.</p></note> long liv'd in regal state,</l>

+
+<p>I have observed already that three or four of the creatures
+here described are Egyptian; the two last are notoriously so,
+they are the river-horse and the crocodile, those celebrated inhabitants
+of the Nile; and on these two it is that our author
+chiefly dwells. It would have been expected from an author
+more remote from that river than Moses, in a catalogue of
+creatures produced to magnify their Creator, to have dwelt on
+the two largest works of his hand, viz. the elephant and the
+whale. This is so natural an expectation, that some commentators
+have rendered behemoth and leviathan, the elephant
+and whale, though the descriptions in our author will not
+admit of it; but Moses being, as we may well suppose, under
+an immediate terror of the hippopotamus and crocodile, from
+their daily mischiefs and ravages around him, it is very accountable
+why he should permit them to take place.</p></note>Large is his front; and, when his burnish'd eyes</l>

+the Prince Frederick at the attack of the harbour of
+Carthagena, March 24, 1741. This young nobleman was one
+of the most promising commanders in the king's service.
+When on the desperate attack of the castle of Bocca Chica, at
+the entrance of the said harbour, he lost his life, both his legs
+being first shot off. The prose part of the inscription on his
+monument was the production of Mrs. Mary Jones of Oxford;

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Quench'd our ambition, in great Anna's fate,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And darken'd all the pomp of human state.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Though you are rich in fame, and fame decay,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Though rais'd in life, and greatness fade away,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Your lustre brightens: virtue cuts the gloom</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 4">Know, sir, the great esteem and honour due,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">I chose that moment to profess to you,</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Had warm'd our bosoms to be most sincere.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And when no motives could have force to raise</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">How great the weight of grief our hearts sustain!</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">We languish, and to speak is to complain.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">Let us look back, (for who too oft can view</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">That most illustrious scene, for ever new!)</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">See all the seasons shine on Anna's throne,</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">They reap the harvest, and subdue the foe;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And when black storms confess the distant sun,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Her winters wear the wreaths her summers won.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Revolving pleasures in their turns appear,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And triumphs are the product of the year.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">To crown the whole, great joys in greater cease,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And glorious victory is lost in peace.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">Whence this profusion on our favour'd isle?</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Did partial fortune on our virtue smile?</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Or did the sceptre, in great Anna's hand,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Stretch forth this rich indulgence o'er our land?</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Ungrateful Britain! quit thy groundless claim,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Thy queen and thy good fortune are the same.</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Argyll and Churchill but the glory share,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">While millions lie subdu'd by Anna's prayer.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">How great her zeal! how fervent her desire!</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">How did her soul in holy warmth expire!</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Constant devotion did her time divide,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Not set returns of pleasure or of pride.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Not want of rest, or the sun's parting ray,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">But finish'd duty, limited the day.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">How sweet succeeding sleep! what lovely themes</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Smil'd in her thoughts, and soften'd all her dreams!</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Her royal couch descending angels spread,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And join'd their wings a shelter o'er her head.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">Though Europe's wealth and glory claim'd a part,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Religion's cause reign'd mistress of her heart:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">She saw, and griev'd to see, the mean estate</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Of those who round the hallow'd altar wait;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">She shed her bounty, piously profuse,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And thought it more her own in sacred use.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">Thus on his furrow see the tiller stand,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And fill with genial seed his lavish hand;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">He trusts the kindness of the fruitful plain,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And providently scatters all his grain.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">What strikes my sight? does proud Augusta rise</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">New to behold, and awfully surprise!</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Her lofty brow more numerous turrets crown,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And sacred domes on palaces look down:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">A noble pride of piety is shown,</l>
+
+<pb n="308" /><anchor id="Pg308" />
+
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And temples cast a lustre on the throne.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">How would this work another's glory raise!</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">But Anna's greatness robs her of the praise.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Drown'd in a brighter blaze it disappears,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Who dried the widow's and the orphan's tears?</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Who stoop'd from high to succour the distrest</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And reconcile the wounded heart to rest?</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Great in her goodness, well could we perceive,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Whoever sought, it was a queen that gave.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Misfortune lost her name, her guiltless frown</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">But made another debtor to the crown;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And each unfriendly stroke from fate we bore,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Became our title to the regal store.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">Thus injur'd trees adopt a foreign shoot,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And their wounds blossom with a fairer fruit.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">Ye numbers, who on your misfortunes thriv'd,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">When first the dreadful blast of fame arriv'd,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Say what a shock, what agonies you felt,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">How did your souls with tender anguish melt!</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">That grief which living Anna's love suppress'd,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Shook like a tempest every grateful breast,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">A second fate our sinking fortunes tried!</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">A second time our tender parents died!</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">Heroes returning from the field we crown,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And deify the haughty victor's frown.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">His splendid wealth too rashly we admire,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Catch the disease, and burn with equal fire:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Wisely to spend, is the great art of gain;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And one reliev'd transcends a million slain.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">When time shall ask, where once Ramillia lay,</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Shall rise a fountain of eternal joy.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">But ah! to that unknown and distant date</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Is virtue's great reward push'd off by fate;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Here random shafts in every breast are found,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Virtue and merit but provoke the wound.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">August in native worth and regal state,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Anna sate arbitress of Europe's fate;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">To distant realms did every accent fly,</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">No throng of suppliant princes mark the place,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Where Britain's greatness is compos'd in peace:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">The broken earth is scarce discern'd to rise,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And a stone tells us where the monarch lies.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">Thus end maturest honours of the crown!</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">This is the last conclusion of renown!</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">So when with idle skill the wanton boy</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Breathes through his tube; he sees, with eager joy,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">The trembling bubble, in its rising small;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And by degrees expands the glittering ball.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">But when, to full perfection blown, it flies</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">The little monarch, with a falling tear,</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">No groans unlock th' inexorable tomb!</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Why then this fond indulgence of our woe!</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Yes, this advantage; from our deep distress</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">We learn how much in George the gods can bless</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Had a less glorious princess left the throne,</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Though strength of genius, by experience taught,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Gives thee to sound the depths of human thought,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">To trace the various workings of the mind,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And rule the secret springs, that rule mankind;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">(Rare gift!) yet, Walpole, wilt thou condescend</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">To listen, if thy unexperienc'd friend</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Can aught of use impart, though void of skill,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And win attention by sincere good-will;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">For friendship, sometimes, want of parts supplies,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">The heart may furnish what the head denies.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">As when the rapid Rhone, o'er swelling tides,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">To grace old ocean's court, in triumph rides,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Tho' rich his source, he drains a thousand springs,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Nor scorns the tribute each small rivulet brings.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">So thou shalt, hence, absorb each feeble ray,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Each dawn of meaning, in thy brighter day;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Shalt like, or, where thou canst not like, excuse,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Since no mean interest shall profane the muse,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">No malice, wrapt in truth's disguise, offend,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Nor flattery taint the freedom of the friend.</l>

+<l rend="margin-left: 2">When first a generous mind surveys the great,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And views the crowds that on their fortune wait;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Pleas'd with the show (though little understood)</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">He only seeks the power, to do the good;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Thinks, till he tries, 'tis godlike to dispose,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And gratitude still springs, where bounty sows;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">That every grant sincere affection wins,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And where our wants have end, our love begins:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">But those who long the paths of state have trod,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Learn from the clamours of the murmuring crowd,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Which cramm'd, yet craving still, their gates besiege,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">'Tis easier far to give, than to oblige.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">This of thy conduct seems the nicest part,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">The chief perfection of the statesman's art,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">To give to fair assent a fairer face,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Or soften a refusal into grace:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">But few there are that can be truly kind,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Or know to fix their favours on the mind;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Hence, some, whene'er they would oblige, offend,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And, while they make the fortune, lose the friend;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Still give, unthank'd; still squander, not bestow;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">For great men want not, what to give, but how.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">The race of men that follow courts, 'tis true,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Think all they get, and more than all, their due;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Still ask, but ne'er consult their own deserts,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And measure by their interest, not their parts:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">From this mistake so many men we see</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">But ill become the thing they wish'd to be;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Hence discontent, and fresh demands arise,</l>
+
+<pb n="359" /><anchor id="Pg359" />
+
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">More power, more favour in the great man's eyes;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">All feel a want, though none the cause suspects,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">But hate their patron, for their own defects;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Such none can please, but who reforms their hearts,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And, when he gives them places, gives them parts.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">As these o'erprize their worth, so sure the great</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">May sell their favour at too dear a rate;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">When merit pines, while clamour is preferr'd,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And long attachment waits among the herd;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">When no distinction, where distinction 's due,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Marks from the many the superior few;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">When strong cabal constrains them to be just,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And makes them give at last—because they must;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">What hopes that men of real worth should prize,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">What neither friendship gives, nor merit buys?</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">The man who justly o'er the whole presides,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">His well-weigh'd choice with wise affection guides;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Knows when to stop with grace, and when advance,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Nor gives through importunity or chance;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">But thinks how little gratitude is ow'd,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">When favours are extorted, not bestow'd.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">When, safe on shore ourselves, we see the crowd</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Surround the great, importunate, and loud;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Through such a tumult, 'tis no easy task</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">To drive the man of real worth to ask:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Surrounded thus, and giddy with the show,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">'Tis hard for great men rightly to bestow;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">From hence so few are skill'd, in either case,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">To ask with dignity, or give with grace.</l>
+
+<pb n="360" /><anchor id="Pg360" />
+
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Sometimes the great, seduc'd by love of parts,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Consult our genius, and neglect our hearts;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Pleas'd with the glittering sparks that genius flings,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">They lift us, towering on their eagle's wings,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Mark out the flights by which themselves begun,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And teach our dazzled eyes to bear the sun;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Till we forget the hand that made us great,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And grow to envy, not to emulate:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">To emulate, a generous warmth implies,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">To reach the virtues, that make great men rise;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">But envy wears a mean malignant face,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And aims not at their virtues—but their place.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">Such to oblige, how vain is the pretence!</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">When every favour is a fresh offence,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">By which superior power is still implied,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And, while it helps their fortune, hurts their pride.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Slight is the hate, neglect or hardships breed;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">But those who hate from envy, hate indeed.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">"Since so perplex'd the choice, whom shall we trust?"</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Methinks I hear thee cry—The brave and just;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">The man by no mean fears or hopes controll'd,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Who serves thee from affection, not for gold.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">We love the honest, and esteem the brave,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Despise the coxcomb, but detest the knave;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">No show of parts the truly wise seduce,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">To think that knaves can be of real use.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">The man, who contradicts the public voice,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And strives to dignify a worthless choice,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Attempts a task that on that choice reflects,</l>
+
+<pb n="361" /><anchor id="Pg361" />
+
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And lends us light to point out new defects.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">One worthless man, that gains what he pretends,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Disgusts a thousand unpretending friends:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And since no art can make a counterpass,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Or add the weight of gold to mimic brass,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">When princes to bad ore their image join,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">They more debase the stamp, than raise the coin.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">Be thine the care, true merit to reward</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And gain the good—nor will that task be hard;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Souls form'd alike so quick by nature blend,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">An honest man is more than half thy friend.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">Him, no mean views, or haste to rise, shall sway,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Thy choice to sully, or thy trust betray:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Ambition, here, shall at due distance stand</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Nor is wit dangerous in an honest hand:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Besides, if failings at the bottom lie,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">We view those failings with a lover's eye;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Though small his genius, let him do his best,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Our wishes and belief supply the rest.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">Let others barter servile faith for gold,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">His friendship is not to be bought or sold:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Fierce opposition he, unmov'd, shall face,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Modest in favour, daring in disgrace,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">To share thy adverse fate alone, pretend;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">In power, a servant; out of power, a friend.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Here pour thy favours in an ample flood,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Indulge thy boundless thirst of doing good:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Nor think that good to him alone confin'd;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Such to oblige, is to oblige mankind.</l>
+
+<pb n="362" /><anchor id="Pg362" />
+
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">If thus thy mighty master's steps thou trace,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">The brave to cherish, and the good to grace;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Long shalt thou stand from rage and faction free,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And teach us long to love the king, through thee:</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Or fall a victim dangerous to the foe,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And make him tremble when he strikes the blow;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">While honour, gratitude, affection join</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">To deck thy close, and brighten thy decline;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">(Illustrious doom!) the great, when this displac'd,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">With friendship guarded, and with virtue grac'd,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">In awful ruin, like Rome's senate, fall,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">The prey and worship of the wondering Gaul.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">No doubt, to genius some reward is due,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">(Excluding that, were satirizing you;)</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">But yet, believe thy undesigning friend,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">When truth and genius for thy choice contend,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Tho' both have weight when in the balance cast,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Let probity be first, and parts the last.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 4">On these foundations if thou dar'st be great,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And check the growth of folly and deceit;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">When party rage shall droop thro' length of days,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And calumny be ripen'd into praise,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Then future times shall to thy worth allow</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">That fame, which envy would call flattery now.</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Thus far my zeal, though for the task unfit,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">Has pointed out the rocks where others split;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">By that inspir'd, though stranger to the Nine,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">And negligent of any fame—but thine,</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">I take the friendly, but superfluous part;</l>
+<l rend="margin-left: 2">You act from nature what I teach from art.</l>

+
+Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no one
+owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation (and
+you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without permission
+and without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth in the
+General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to copying and
+distributing Project Gutenberg™ electronic works to protect the Project
+Gutenberg™ concept and trademark. Project Gutenberg is a registered
+trademark, and may not be used if you charge for the eBooks, unless you
+receive specific permission. If you do not charge anything for copies of
+this eBook, complying with the rules is very easy. You may use this eBook
+for nearly any purpose such as creation of derivative works, reports,
+performances and research. They may be modified and printed and given away
+— you may do practically _anything_ with public domain eBooks.
+Redistribution is subject to the trademark license, especially commercial

+1.C.
+
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation (“the Foundation” or

+work is in the public domain in the United States and you are located in
+the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from copying,
+distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative works based on
+the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of
+course, we hope that you will support the Project Gutenberg™ mission of
+promoting free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project
+Gutenberg™ works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for
+keeping the Project Gutenberg™ name associated with the work. You can
+easily comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the
+same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg™ License when you
+share it without charge with others.

+
+1.D.

+
+The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern what you
+can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in a constant
+state of change. If you are outside the United States, check the laws of
+your country in addition to the terms of this agreement before
+downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or creating
+derivative works based on this work or any other Project Gutenberg™ work.
+The Foundation makes no representations concerning the copyright status of
+any work in any country outside the United States.

+public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is posted with
+permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied and

+charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work with the
+phrase “Project Gutenberg” associated with or appearing on the work, you

+1.F.
+
+
+1.F.1.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to
+identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread public domain
+works in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these
+efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they
+may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to,
+incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright
+or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk
+or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot
+be read by your equipment.
+
+
+1.F.2.
+
+
+LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES — Except for the “Right of
+Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg™
+trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg™
+electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for
+damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE
+NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH
+OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE
+FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT

+PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY
+OF SUCH DAMAGE.
+
+
+1.F.3.
+
+
+LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND — If you discover a defect in this
+electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can receive a refund
+of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a written explanation to
+the person you received the work from. If you received the work on a
+physical medium, you must return the medium with your written explanation.
+The person or entity that provided you with the defective work may elect
+to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the
+work electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose
+to give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in
+lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a
+refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+
+1.F.4.
+
+
+Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in
+paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ’AS-IS,’ WITH NO OTHER

+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+
+1.F.5.
+
+
+Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the
+exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or
+limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state
+applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make
+the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state
+law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement
+shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+
+1.F.6.
+
+
+INDEMNITY — You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark
+owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of
+Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and
+any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution
+of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs
+and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from
+any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of
+this or any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or
+additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect
+you cause.
+
+
+Section 2.
+
+
+   Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™
+
+
+Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic
+works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including
+obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the
+efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks
+of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance
+they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring
+that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for
+generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for
+Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations
+can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation web page at
+http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.
+
+
+ Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of
+Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service.
+The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541.
+Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+
+Section 4.
+
+
+ Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+        Foundation
+
+
+Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread
+public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the
+number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed
+in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment
+including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are
+particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States.
+Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable
+effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these
+requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not
+received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or
+determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit
+http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have
+not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against
+accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us
+with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any
+statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the
+United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods
+and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including
+checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please
+visit: http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+
+Section 5.
+
+
+  General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works.
+
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg™
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with
+anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™
+eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions,
+all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright
+notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance
+with any particular paper edition.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook’s eBook
+number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, compressed
+(zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected _editions_ of our eBooks replace the old file and take over the
+old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed.
+_Versions_ based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+
+ http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how
+to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation,
+how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email
+newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+
+  While others sing the fortune of the great;
+  Empire and arms, and all the pomp of state;
+  With Britain's hero(1) set their souls on fire,
+  And grow immortal as his deeds inspire;
+  I draw a deeper scene: a scene that yields
+  A louder trumpet, and more dreadful fields;
+  The world alarm'd, both earth and heaven o'erthrown,
+  And gasping nature's last tremendous groan;
+  Death's ancient sceptre broke, the teeming tomb,
+  The righteous Judge, and man's eternal doom.
+    'Twixt joy and pain I view the bold design,
+  And ask my anxious heart, if it be mine.
+  Whatever great or dreadful has been done
+  Within the sight of conscious stars or sun,
+  Is far beneath my daring: I look down
+  On all the splendours of the British crown.
+  This globe is for my verse a narrow bound;
+  Attend me, all the glorious worlds around!
+  O! all ye angels, howsoe'er disjoin'd,
+  Of every various order, place, and kind,
+  Hear, and assist, a feeble mortal's lays;
+  'Tis your Eternal King I strive to praise.
+    But chiefly thou, great Ruler! Lord of all!
+  Before whose throne archangels prostrate fall;
+  If at thy nod, from discord, and from night,
+  Sprang beauty, and yon sparkling worlds of light,
+  Exalt e'en me; all inward tumults quell;
+  The clouds and darkness of my mind dispel;
+  To my great subject thou my breast inspire,
+  And raise my lab'ring soul with equal fire.
+    Man, bear thy brow aloft, view every grace
+  In God's great offspring, beauteous nature's face:
+  See spring's gay bloom; see golden autumn's store;
+  See how earth smiles, and hear old ocean roar.
+  Leviathans but heave their cumbrous mail,
+  It makes a tide, and wind-bound navies sail.
+  Here, forests rise, the mountains awful pride;
+  Here, rivers measure climes, and worlds divide;
+  There, valleys fraught with gold's resplendent seeds,
+  Hold kings, and kingdoms' fortunes, in their beds:
+  There, to the skies, aspiring hills ascend,
+  And into distant lands their shades extend.
+  View cities, armies, fleets; of fleets the pride,
+  See Europe's law, in Albion's channel ride.
+  View the whole earth's vast landscape unconfin'd,
+  Or view in Britain all her glories join'd.
+    Then let the firmament thy wonder raise;
+  'Twill raise thy wonder, but transcend thy praise.
+  How far from east to west? the lab'ring eye
+  Can scarce the distant azure bounds descry:
+  Wide theatre! where tempests play at large,
+  And God's right hand can all its wrath discharge.
+  Mark how those radiant lamps inflame the pole,
+  Call forth the seasons, and the year control:
+  They shine thro' time, with an unalter'd ray:
+  See this grand period rise, and that decay:
+  So vast, this world's a grain; yet myriads grace,
+  With golden pomp, the throng'd ethereal space;
+  So bright, with such a wealth of glory stor'd,
+  'Twere sin in heathens not to have ador'd.
+    How great, how firm, how sacred, all appears!
+  How worthy an immortal round of years!
+  Yet all must drop, as autumn's sickliest grain,
+  And earth and firmament be sought in vain:
+  The tract forgot where constellations shone,
+  Or where the Stuarts fill'd an awful throne:
+  Time shall be slain, all nature be destroy'd,
+  Nor leave an atom in the mighty void.
+    Sooner, or later, in some future date,
+  (A dreadful secret in the book of fate!)
+  This hour, for aught all human wisdom knows,
+  Or when ten thousand harvests more have rose;
+  When scenes are chang'd on this revolving earth,
+  Old empires fall, and give new empires birth;
+  While other Bourbons rule in other lands,
+  And (if man's sin forbids not) other Annes;
+  While the still busy world is treading o'er
+  The paths they trod five thousand years before,
+  Thoughtless as those who now life's mazes run,
+  Of earth dissolv'd, or an extinguish'd sun;
+  (Ye sublunary worlds, awake, awake!
+  Ye rulers of the nation, hear, and shake!)
+  Thick clouds of darkness shall arise on day;
+  In sudden night all earth's dominions lay;
+  Impetuous winds the scatter'd forests rend;
+  Eternal mountains, like their cedars, bend:
+  The valleys yawn, the troubled ocean roar,
+  And break the bondage of his wonted shore;
+  A sanguine stain the silver moon o'erspread;
+  Darkness the circle of the sun invade;
+  From inmost heaven incessant thunders roll,
+  And the strong echo bound from pole to pole.
+    When, lo, a mighty trump, one half conceal'd
+  In clouds, one half to mortal eye reveal'd,
+  Shall pour a dreadful note; the piercing call
+  Shall rattle in the centre of the ball;
+  Th' extended circuit of creation shake,
+  The living die with fear, the dead awake.
+    Oh powerful blast! to which no equal sound
+  Did e'er the frighted ear of nature wound,
+  Tho' rival clarions have been strain'd on high,
+  And kindled wars immortal thro' the sky,
+  Tho' God's whole enginery discharg'd, and all
+  The rebel angels bellow'd in their fall.
+    Have angels sinn'd? and shall not man beware?
+  How shall a son of earth decline the snare?
+  Not folded arms, and slackness of the mind,
+  Can promise for the safety of mankind:
+  None are supinely good: thro' care and pain
+  And various arts, the steep ascent we gain.
+  This is the scene of combat, not of rest,
+  Man's is laborious happiness at best;
+  On this side death his dangers never cease,
+  His joys are joys of conquest, not of peace.
+    If then, obsequious to the will of fate,
+  And bending to the terms of human state,
+  When guilty joys invite us to their arms,
+  When beauty smiles, or grandeur spreads her charms,
+  The conscious soul would this great scene display,
+  Call down th' immortal hosts in dread array,
+  The trumpet sound, the Christian banner spread,
+  And raise from silent graves the trembling dead;
+  Such deep impression would the picture make,
+  No power on earth her firm resolve could shake;
+  Engag'd with angels she would greatly stand,
+  And look regardless down on sea and land;
+  Not proffer'd worlds her ardour could restrain,
+  And death might shake his threat'ning lance in vain!
+  Her certain conquest would endear the sight,
+  And danger serve but to exalt delight.
+  Instructed thus to shun the fatal spring,
+  Whence flow the terrors of that day I sing;
+  More boldly we our labours may pursue,
+  And all the dreadful image set to view.
+    The sparkling eye, the sleek and painted breast,
+  The burnish'd scale, curl'd train, and rising crest,
+  All that is lovely in the noxious snake,
+  Provokes our fear, and bids us flee the brake:
+  The sting once drawn, his guiltless beauties rise
+  In pleasing lustre, and detain our eyes;
+  We view with joy, what once did horror move,
+  And strong aversion softens into love.
+    Say then, my muse, whom dismal scenes delight,
+  Frequent at tombs, and in the realms of night;
+  Say, melancholy maid, if bold to dare
+  The last extremes of terror and despair;
+  Oh say, what change on earth, what heart in man,
+  This blackest moment since the world began.
+    Ah mournful turn! the blissful earth, who late
+  At leisure on her axle roll'd in state;
+  While thousand golden planets knew no rest,
+  Still onward in their circling journey prest;
+  A grateful change of seasons some to bring,
+  And sweet vicissitude of fall and spring:
+  Some thro' vast oceans to conduct the keel,
+  And some those watery worlds to sink, or swell:
+  Around her some their splendours to display,
+  And gild her globe with tributary day:
+  This world so great, of joy the bright abode,
+  Heaven's darling child, and fav'rite of her God,
+  Now looks an exile from her father's care,
+  Deliver'd o'er to darkness and despair.
+  No sun in radiant glory shines on high;
+  No light, but from the terrors of the sky:
+  Fall'n are her mountains, her fam'd rivers lost,
+  And all into a second chaos tost:
+  One universal ruin spreads abroad;
+  Nothing is safe beneath the throne of God.
+    Such, earth, thy fate: what then canst thou afford
+  To comfort and support thy guilty lord?
+  Man, haughty lord of all beneath the moon,
+  How must he bend his soul's ambition down
+  Prostrate, the reptile own, and disavow
+  His boasted stature, and assuming brow?
+  Claim kindred with the clay, and curse his form,
+  That speaks distinction from his sister worm?
+  What dreadful pangs the trembling heart invade?
+  Lord, why dost thou forsake whom thou hast made?
+  Who can sustain thy anger? who can stand
+  Beneath the terrors of thy lifted hand?
+  It flies the reach of thought; oh, save me, Power
+  Of powers supreme, in that tremendous hour!
+  Thou who beneath the frown of fate hast stood,
+  And in thy dreadful agony sweat blood;
+  Thou, who for me, thro' every throbbing vein,
+  Hast felt the keenest edge of mortal pain;
+  Whom death led captive thro' the realms below,
+  And taught those horrid mysteries of woe;
+  Defend me, O my God! Oh, save me, Power
+  Of powers supreme, in that tremendous hour!
+  From east to west they fly, from pole to line,
+  Imploring shelter from the wrath divine;
+  Beg flames to wrap, or whelming seas to sweep,
+  Or rocks to yawn, compassionately deep;
+  Seas cast the monster forth to meet his doom,
+  And rocks but prison up for wrath to come.
+    So fares a traitor to an earthly crown;
+  While death sits threat'ning in his prince's frown
+  His heart's dismay'd; and now his fears command,
+  To change his native for a distant land:
+  Swift orders fly, the king's severe decree
+  Stands in the channel, and locks up the sea;
+  The port he seeks, obedient to her lord,
+  Hurls back the rebel to his lifted sword.
+    But why this idle toil to paint that day?
+  This time elaborately thrown away?
+  Words all in vain pant after the distress,
+  The height of eloquence would make it less;
+  Heavens! how the good man trembles!--
+    And is there a last day? and must there come
+  A sure, a fix'd, inexorable doom?
+  Ambition swell, and, thy proud sails to show,
+  Take all the winds that vanity can blow;
+  Wealth on a golden mountain blazing stand,
+  And reach an India forth in either hand;
+  Spread all thy purple clusters, tempting vine,
+  And thou, more dreaded foe, bright beauty, shine;
+  Shine all; in all your charms together rise;
+  That all, in all your charms, I may despise;
+  While I mount upward on a strong desire,
+  Borne, like Elijah, in a car of fire.
+    In hopes of glory to be quite involv'd!
+  To smile at death! to long to be dissolv'd!
+  From our decays a pleasure to receive!
+  And kindle into transport at a grave!
+  What equals this? And shall the victor now
+  Boast the proud laurels on his loaded brow?
+  Religion! Oh, thou cherub, heavenly bright!
+  Oh, joys unmix'd, and fathomless delight!
+  Thou, thou art all; nor find I in the whole
+  Creation aught, but God and my own soul.
+    For ever, then, my soul, thy God adore,
+  Nor let the brute creation praise him more.
+  Shall things inanimate my conduct blame,
+  And flush my conscious cheek with spreading shame?
+  They all for him pursue, or quit, their end
+  The mountain flames their burning power suspend;
+  In solid heaps th' unfrozen billows stand,
+  To rest and silence aw'd by his command:
+  Nay, the dire monsters that infest the flood,
+  By nature dreadful, and athirst for blood,
+  His will can calm, their savage tempers bind,
+  And turn to mild protectors of mankind.
+  Did not the prophet this great truth maintain
+  In the deep chambers of the gloomy main;
+  When darkness round him all her horrors spread,
+  And the loud ocean bellow'd o'er his head?
+    When now the thunder roars, the lightning flies,
+  And all the warring winds tumultuous rise;
+  When now the foaming surges, tost on high,
+  Disclose the sands beneath, and touch the sky;
+  When death draws near, the mariners aghast,
+  Look back with terror on their actions past;
+  Their courage sickens into deep dismay,
+  Their hearts, thro' fear and anguish, melt away;
+  Nor tears, nor prayers, the tempest can appease;
+  Now they devote their treasure to the seas;
+  Unload their shatter'd barque, tho' richly fraught,
+  And think the hopes of life are cheaply bought
+  With gems and gold; but oh, the storm so high!
+  Nor gems nor gold the hopes of life can buy.
+    The trembling prophet then, themselves to save,
+  They headlong plunge into the briny wave;
+  Down he descends, and, booming o'er his head,
+  The billows close; he's number'd with the dead.
+  (Hear, O ye just! attend, ye virtuous few!
+  And the bright paths of piety pursue)
+  Lo! the great Ruler of the world, from high,
+  Looks smiling down with a propitious eye,
+  Covers his servant with his gracious hand,
+  And bids tempestuous nature silent stand;
+  Commands the peaceful waters to give place,
+  Or kindly fold him in a soft embrace:
+  He bridles in the monsters of the deep:
+  The bridled monsters awful distance keep:
+  Forget their hunger, while they view their prey;
+  And guiltless gaze, and round the stranger play.
+    But still arise new wonders; nature's Lord
+  Sends forth into the deep his powerful word,
+  And calls the great leviathan: the great
+  Leviathan attends in all his state;
+  Exults for joy, and, with a mighty bound,
+  Makes the sea shake, and heaven and earth resound;
+  Blackens the waters with the rising sand.
+  And drives vast billows to the distant land.
+    As yawns an earthquake, when imprison'd air
+  Struggles for vent, and lays the centre bare,
+  The whale expands his jaws' enormous size;
+  The prophet views the cavern with surprise;
+  Measures his monstrous teeth, afar descried,
+  And rolls his wond'ring eyes from side to side:
+  Then takes possession of the spacious seat,
+  And sails secure within the dark retreat.
+    Now is he pleas'd the northern blast to hear,
+  And hangs on liquid mountains, void of fear;
+  Or falls immers'd into the depths below,
+  Where the dead silent waters never flow;
+  To the foundation of the hills convey'd,
+  Dwells in the shelving mountain's dreadful shade:
+  Where plummet never reach'd, he draws his breath,
+  And glides serenely thro' the paths of death.
+    Two wondrous days and nights thro' coral groves,
+  Thro' labyrinths of rocks and sands, he roves:
+  When the third morning with its level rays
+  The mountains gilds, and on the billows plays,
+  It sees the king of waters rise and pour
+  His sacred guest uninjur'd on the shore:
+  A type of that great blessing, which the muse
+  In her next labour ardently pursues.

+
+
+    ----We hope that the departed will rise again from the dust: after
+    which, like the gods, they will be immortal.
+
+
+  Now man awakes, and from his silent bed,
+  Where he has slept for ages, lifts his head;
+  Shakes off the slumber of ten thousand years,
+  And on the borders of new worlds appears.
+  Whate'er the bold, the rash, adventure cost,
+  In wide eternity I dare be lost.
+  The muse is wont in narrow bounds to sing,
+  To teach the swain, or celebrate the king.
+  I grasp the whole, no more to parts confin'd,
+  I lift my voice, and sing to humankind:
+  I sing to men and angels; angels join,
+  While such the theme, their sacred songs with mine.
+    Again the trumpet's intermitted sound
+  Rolls the wide circuit of creation round,
+  A universal concourse to prepare
+  Of all that ever breath'd the vital air:
+  In some wide field, which active whirlwinds sweep,
+  Drive cities, forests, mountains, to the deep,
+  To smooth and lengthen out th' unbounded space,
+  And spread an area for all human race.
+    Now monuments prove faithful to their trust,
+  And render back their long committed dust.
+  Now charnels rattle; scatter'd limbs, and all
+  The various bones, obsequious to the call,
+  Self-mov'd, advance; the neck perhaps to meet
+  The distant head; the distant legs the feet.
+  Dreadful to view, see thro' the dusky sky
+  Fragments of bodies in confusion fly,
+  To distant regions journeying, there to claim
+  Deserted members, and complete the frame.
+    When the world bow'd to Rome's almighty sword,
+  Rome bow'd to Pompey, and confess'd her lord.
+  Yet one day lost, this deity below
+  Became the scorn and pity of his foe.
+  His blood a traitor's sacrifice was made,
+  And smok'd indignant on a ruffian's blade.
+  No trumpet's sound, no gasping army's yell,
+  Bid, with due horror, his great soul farewell.
+  Obscure his fall! all welt'ring in his gore,
+  His trunk was cast to perish on the shore!
+  While Julius frown'd the bloody monster dead,
+  Who brought the world in his great rival's head.
+  This sever'd head and trunk shall join once more,
+  Tho' realms now rise between, and oceans roar.
+  The trumpet's sound each fragrant mote shall hear,
+  Or fix'd in earth, or if afloat in air,
+  Obey the signal wafted in the wind,
+  And not one sleeping atom lag behind.
+    So swarming bees, that on a summer's day
+  In airy rings, and wild meanders play,
+  Charm'd with the brazen sound, their wand'rings end,
+  And, gently circling, on a bough descend.
+    The body thus renew'd, the conscious soul,
+  Which has perhaps been flutt'ring near the pole,
+  Or midst the burning planets wond'ring stray'd,
+  Or hover'd o'er where her pale corpse was laid;
+  Or rather coasted on her final state,
+  And fear'd or wish'd for her appointed fate:
+  This soul, returning with a constant flame,
+  Now weds for ever her immortal frame.
+  Life, which ran down before, so high is wound,
+  The springs maintain an everlasting round.
+    Thus a frail model of the work design'd
+  First takes a copy of the builder's mind,
+  Before the structure firm with lasting oak,
+  And marble bowels of the solid rock,
+  Turns the strong arch, and bids the columns rise,
+  And bear the lofty palace to the skies;
+  The wrongs of time enabled to surpass,
+  With bars of adamant, and ribs of brass.
+    That ancient, sacred, and illustrious dome,(2)
+  Where soon or late fair Albion's heroes come,
+  From camps, and courts, tho' great, or wise, or just,
+  To feed the worm, and moulder into dust;
+  That solemn mansion of the royal dead,
+  Where passing slaves o'er sleeping monarchs tread,
+  Now populous o'erflows: a num'rous race
+  Of rising kings fill all th' extended space:
+  A life well spent, not the victorious sword,
+  Awards the crown, and styles the greater lord.
+    Nor monuments alone, and burial-earth,
+  Labours with man to this his second birth;
+  But where gay palaces in pomp arise,
+  And gilded theatres invade the skies,
+  Nations shall wake, whose unrespected bones
+  Support the pride of their luxurious sons.
+  The most magnificent and costly dome
+  Is but an upper chamber to the tomb.
+  No spot on earth but has supplied a grave,
+  And human skulls the spacious ocean pave.
+  All's full of man; and at this dreadful turn,
+  The swarm shall issue, and the hive shall burn.
+    Not all at once, nor in like manner, rise:
+  Some lift with pain their slow, unwilling eyes:
+  Shrink backward from the terror of the light,
+  And bless the grave, and call for lasting night.
+  Others, whose long-attempted virtue stood
+  Fix'd as a rock, and broke the rushing flood,
+  Whose firm resolve, nor beauty could melt down,
+  Nor raging tyrants from their posture frown;
+  Such, in this day of horrors, shall be seen
+  To face the thunders with a godlike mien;
+  The planets drop, their thoughts are fixt above;
+  The centre shakes, their hearts disdain to move;
+  An earth dissolving, and a heaven thrown wide,
+  A yawning gulf, and fiends on every side,
+  Serene they view, impatient of delay,
+  And bless the dawn of everlasting day.
+    Here, greatness prostrate falls; there, strength gives place;
+  Here, lazars smile; there, beauty hides her face.
+  Christians, and Jews, and Turks, and Pagans stand,
+  A blended throng, one undistinguish'd band.
+  Some who, perhaps, by mutual wounds expir'd,
+  With zeal for their distinct persuasions fir'd,
+  In mutual friendship their long slumber break,
+  And hand in hand their Saviour's love partake.
+    But none are flush'd with brighter joy, or, warm
+  With juster confidence, enjoy the storm,
+  Than those, whose pious bounties, unconfin'd,
+  Have made them public fathers of mankind.
+  In that illustrious rank, what shining light
+  With such distinguish'd glory fills my sight?
+  Bend down, my grateful muse, that homage show,
+  Which to such worthies thou art proud to owe.
+  Wickham! Fox! Chichley! hail, illustrious names,(3)
+  Who to far distant times dispense your beams;
+  Beneath your shades, and near your crystal springs,
+  I first presum'd to touch the trembling strings.
+  All hail, thrice honour'd! 'Twas your great renown
+  To bless a people, and oblige a crown.
+  And now you rise, eternally to shine,
+  Eternally to drink the rays divine.
+    Indulgent God! Oh how shall mortal raise
+  His soul to due returns of grateful praise,
+  For bounty so profuse to humankind,
+  Thy wondrous gift of an eternal mind?
+  Shall I, who, some few years ago, was less
+  Than worm, or mite, or shadow can express,
+  Was nothing; shall I live, when every fire
+  And every star shall languish and expire?
+  When earth's no more, shall I survive above,
+  And thro' the radiant files of angels move?
+  Or, as before the throne of God I stand,
+  See new worlds rolling from his spacious hand,
+  Where our adventures shall perhaps be taught,
+  As we now tell how Michael sung or fought?
+  All that has being in full concert join,
+  And celebrate the depths of love divine!
+    But oh! before this blissful state, before
+  Th' aspiring soul this wondrous height can soar,
+  The Judge, descending, thunders from afar,
+  And all mankind is summon'd to the bar.
+    This mighty scene I next presume to draw:
+  Attend, great Anna, with religious awe.
+  Expect not here the known successful arts
+  To win attention, and command our hearts:
+  Fiction, be far away; let no machine
+  Descending here, no fabled god, be seen;
+  Behold the God of gods indeed descend,
+  And worlds unnumber'd his approach attend!
+    Lo! the wide theatre, whose ample space
+  Must entertain the whole of human race,
+  At heaven's all-powerful edict is prepar'd,
+  And fenc'd around with an immortal guard.
+  Tribes, provinces, dominions, worlds, o'erflow
+  The mighty plain, and deluge all below:
+  And every age, and nation, pours along,
+  Nimrod and Bourbon mingle in the throng:
+  Adam salutes his youngest son; no sign,
+  Of all those ages, which their births disjoin.
+    How empty learning, and how vain is art,
+  But as it mends the life, and guides the heart!
+  What volumes have been swell'd, what time been spent,
+  To fix a hero's birth-day, or descent!
+  What joy must it now yield, what rapture raise,
+  To see the glorious race of ancient days!
+  To greet those worthies who perhaps have stood
+  Illustrious on record before the flood!
+  Alas! a nearer care your soul demands,
+  Caesar unnoted in your presence stands.
+    How vast the concourse! not in number more
+  The waves that break on the resounding shore,
+  The leaves that tremble in the shady grove,
+  The lamps that gild the spangled vaults above:
+  Those overwhelming armies, whose command
+  Said to one empire, fall; another, stand:
+  Whose rear lay wrapt in night, while breaking dawn
+  Rous'd the broad front, and call'd the battle on:
+  Great Xerxes' world in arms, proud Cannae's field,
+  Where Carthage taught victorious Rome to yield,
+  (Another blow had broke the fates' decree,
+  And earth had wanted her fourth monarchy,)
+  Immortal Blenheim, fam'd Ramillia's host,
+  They all are here, and here they all are lost:
+  Their millions swell to be discern'd in vain,
+  Lost as a billow in th' unbounded main.
+    This echoing voice now rends the yielding air,
+  For judgment, judgment, sons of men, prepare!
+  Earth shakes anew; I hear her groans profound;
+  And hell through all her trembling realms resound.
+    Whoe'er thou art, thou greatest power of earth,
+  Blest with most equal planets at thy birth;
+  Whose valour drew the most successful sword,
+  Most realms united in one common lord;
+  Who, on the day of triumph, saidst, Be thine
+  The skies, Jehovah, all this world is mine:
+  Dare not to lift thine eye--Alas! my muse,
+  How art thou lost! what numbers canst thou choose?
+    A sudden blush inflames the waving sky,
+  And now the crimson curtains open fly;
+  Lo! far within, and far above all height,
+  Where heaven's great Sov'reign reigns in worlds of light,
+  Whence nature he informs, and with one ray
+  Shot from his eye, does all her works survey,
+  Creates, supports, confounds! Where time, and place,
+  Matter, and form, and fortune, life, and grace,
+  Wait humbly at the footstool of their God,
+  And move obedient at his awful nod;
+  Whence he beholds us vagrant emmets crawl
+  At random on this air-suspended ball
+  (Speck of creation): if he pour one breath,
+  The bubble breaks, and 'tis eternal death.
+    Thence issuing I behold (but mortal sight
+  Sustains not such a rushing sea of light!)
+  I see, on an empyreal flying throne
+  Sublimely rais'd, heaven's everlasting Son;
+  Crown'd with that majesty which form'd the world,
+  And the grand rebel flaming downward hurl'd.
+  Virtue, dominion, praise, omnipotence,
+  Support the train of their triumphant prince.
+  A zone, beyond the thought of angels bright,
+  Around him, like the zodiac, winds its light.
+  Night shades the solemn arches of his brows,
+  And in his cheek the purple morning glows.
+  Where'er serene, he turns propitious eyes,
+  Or we expect, or find, a paradise:
+  But if resentment reddens their mild beams,
+  The Eden kindles, and the world's in flames.
+  On one hand, knowledge shines in purest light;
+  On one, the sword of justice fiercely bright.
+  Now bend the knee in sport, present the reed;
+  Now tell the scourg'd impostor he shall bleed!
+    Thus glorious thro' the courts of heav'n, the source
+  Of life and death eternal bends his course;
+  Loud thunders round him roll, and lightnings play;
+  Th' angelic host is rang'd in bright array:
+  Some touch the string, some strike the sounding shell,
+  And mingling voices in rich concert swell;
+  Voices seraphic; blest with such a strain,
+  Could Satan hear, he were a god again.
+    Triumphant King of Glory! Soul of bliss!
+  What a stupendous turn of fate is this!
+  O! whither art thou rais'd above the scorn
+  And indigence of him in Bethlem born;
+  A needless, helpless, unaccounted guest,
+  And but a second to the fodder'd beast!
+  How chang'd from him, who, meekly prostrate laid,
+  Vouchsaf'd to wash the feet himself had made!
+  From him who was betray'd, forsook, denied,
+  Wept, languish'd, pray'd, bled, thirsted, groan'd, and died;
+  Hung pierc'd and bare, insulted by the foe,
+  All heaven in tears above, earth unconcern'd below!
+    And was't enough to bid the sun retire?
+  Why did not nature at thy groan expire?
+  I see, I hear, I feel, the pangs divine;
+  The world is vanish'd,--I am wholly thine.
+    Mistaken Caiaphas! Ah! which blasphem'd;
+  Thou, or thy pris'ner? which shall be condemn'd?
+  Well might'st thou rend thy garments, well exclaim;
+  Deep are the horrors of eternal flame!
+  But God is good! 'Tis wondrous all! Ev'n he
+  Thou gav'st to death, shame, torture, died for thee.
+    Now the descending triumph stops its flight
+  From earth full twice a planetary height.
+  There all the clouds condens'd, two columns raise
+  Distinct with orient veins, and golden blaze.
+  One fix'd on earth, and one in sea, and round
+  Its ample foot the swelling billows sound.
+  These an immeasurable arch support,
+  The grand tribunal of this awful court.
+  Sheets of bright azure, from the purest sky,
+  Stream from the crystal arch, and round the columns fly.
+  Death, wrapt in chains, low at the basis lies,
+  And on the point of his own arrow dies.
+    Here high enthron'd th' eternal Judge is plac'd,
+  With all the grandeur of his godhead grac'd;
+  Stars on his robes in beauteous order meet,
+  And the sun burns beneath his awful feet.
+    Now an archangel eminently bright,
+  From off his silver staff of wondrous height,
+  Unfurls the Christian flag, which waving flies,
+  And shuts and opens more than half the skies:
+  The cross so strong a red, it sheds a stain,
+  Where'er it floats, on earth, and air, and main;
+  Flushes the hill, and sets on fire the wood,
+  And turns the deep-dy'd ocean, into blood.
+    Oh formidable glory! dreadful bright!
+  Refulgent torture to the guilty sight.
+  Ah turn, unwary muse, nor dare reveal
+  What horrid thoughts with the polluted dwell.
+  Say not, (to make the sun shrink in his beam,)
+  Dare not affirm, they wish it all a dream;
+  With, or their souls may with their limbs decay,
+  Or God be spoil'd of his eternal sway.
+  But rather, if thou know'st the means, unfold
+  How they with transport might the scene behold.
+    Ah how! but by repentance, by a mind
+  Quick, and severe its own offence to find?
+  By tears, and groans, and never-ceasing care,
+  And all the pious violence of prayer?
+  Thus then, with fervency till now unknown,
+  I cast my heart before th' eternal throne,
+  In this great temple, which the skies surround,
+  For homage to its lord, a narrow bound.
+    "O thou! whose balance does the mountains weigh,
+  Whose will the wild tumultuous seas obey,
+  Whose breath can turn these watery worlds to flame,
+  That flame to tempest, and that tempest tame;
+  Earth's meanest son, all trembling, prostrate falls,
+  And on the boundless of thy goodness calls.
+    "Oh! give the winds all past offence to sweep,
+  To scatter wide, or bury in the deep:
+  Thy power, my weakness, may I ever see,
+  And wholly dedicate my soul to thee:
+  Reign o'er my will; my passions ebb and flow
+  At thy command, nor human motive know!
+  If anger boil, let anger be my praise,
+  And sin the graceful indignation raise.
+  My love be warm to succour the distress'd,
+  And lift the burden from the soul oppress'd.
+  Oh may my understanding ever read
+  This glorious volume, which thy wisdom made!
+  Who decks the maiden spring with flow'ry pride?
+  Who calls forth summer, like a sparkling bride?
+  Who joys the mother autumn's bed to crown?
+  And bids old winter lay her honours down?
+  Not the great Ottoman, or greater Czar,
+  Not Europe's arbitress of peace and war.
+  May sea and land, and earth and heaven be join'd
+  To bring th' eternal author to my mind!
+  When oceans roar, or awful thunders roll,
+  May thoughts of thy dread vengeance shake my soul!
+  When earth's in bloom, or planets proudly shine,
+  Adore, my heart, the majesty divine!
+    "Thro' every scene of life, or peace, or war,
+  Plenty, or want, thy glory be my care!
+  Shine we in arms? or sing beneath our vine?
+  Thine is the vintage, and the conquest thine:
+  Thy pleasure points the shaft, and bends the bow;
+  The cluster blasts, or bids it brightly glow:
+  'Tis thou that lead'st our powerful armies forth,
+  And giv'st great Anne thy sceptre o'er the north.
+    "Grant I may ever, at the morning ray,
+  Open with prayer the consecrated day;
+  Tune thy great praise, and bid my soul arise,
+  And with the mounting sun ascend the skies:
+  As that advances, let my zeal improve,
+  And glow with ardour of consummate love;
+  Nor cease at eve, but with the setting sun
+  My endless worship shall be still begun.
+    "And, oh! permit the gloom of solemn night
+  To sacred thought may forcibly invite.
+  When this world's shut, and awful planets rise,
+  Call on our minds, and raise them to the skies;
+  Compose our souls with a less dazzling sight,
+  And show all nature in a milder light;
+  How every boisterous thought in calm subsides!
+  How the smooth'd spirit into goodness glides!
+  O how divine! to tread the milky way,
+  To the bright palace of the lord of day;
+  His court admire, or for his favour sue,
+  Or leagues of friendship with his saints renew;
+  Pleas'd to look down, and see the world asleep,
+  While I long vigils to its founder keep!
+    "Canst thou not shake the centre? Oh! control,
+  Subdue by force, the rebel in my soul:
+  Thou, who canst still the raging of the flood,
+  Restrain the various tumults of my blood;
+  Teach me, with equal firmness, to sustain
+  Alluring pleasure, and assaulting pain.
+  O may I pant for thee in each desire!
+  And with strong faith foment the holy fire!
+  Stretch out my soul in hope, and grasp the prize,
+  Which in eternity's deep bosom lies!
+  At the great day of recompense behold,
+  Devoid of fear, the fatal book unfold!
+  Then wafted upward to the blissful seat,
+  From age to age, my grateful song repeat;
+  My light, my life, my God, my Saviour see,
+  And rival angels in the praise of thee."
+

+
+      Esse quoque in fatis reminiscitur, affore tempus,

+                                                           --OVID. MET.
+
+
+  The book unfolding; the resplendent seat
+  Of saints and angels; the tremendous fate
+  Of guilty souls; the gloomy realms of woe;
+  And all the horrors of the world below;
+  I next presume to sing: what yet remains
+  Demands my last, but most exalted strains.
+  And let the muse or now affect the sky,
+  Or in inglorious shades for ever lie.
+  She kindles, she's inflam'd so near the goal;
+  She mounts, she gains upon the starry pole;
+  The world grows less as she pursues her flight,
+  And the sun darkens to her distant sight.
+  Heaven op'ning, all its sacred pomp displays,
+  And overwhelms her with the rushing blaze!
+  The triumph rings! archangels shout around!
+  And echoing nature lengthens out the sound!
+    Ten thousand trumpets now at once advance;
+  Now deepest silence lulls the vast expanse:
+  So deep the silence, and so strong the blast,
+  As nature died, when she had groan'd her last.
+  Nor man, nor angel, moves; the Judge on high
+  Looks round, and with his glory fills the sky:
+  Then on the fatal book his hand he lays,
+  Which high to view supporting seraphs raise;
+  In solemn form the rituals are prepar'd,
+  The seal is broken, and a groan is heard.
+  And thou, my soul, (oh fall to sudden pray'r,
+  And let the thought sink deep!) shalt thou be there?
+    See on the left (for by the great command
+  The throng divided falls on either hand);
+  How weak, how pale, how haggard, how obscene,
+  What more than death in ev'ry face and mien!
+  With what distress, and glarings of affright.
+  They shock the heart, and turn away the sight!
+  In gloomy orbs their trembling eye-balls roll,
+  And tell the horrid secrets of the soul.
+  Each gesture mourns, each look is black with care,
+  And ev'ry groan is loaden with despair.
+  Reader, if guilty, spare the muse, and find
+  A truer image pictur'd in thy mind.
+    Shouldst thou behold thy brother, father, wife,
+  And all the soft companions of thy life,
+  Whose blended int'rests levell'd at one aim,
+  Whose mix'd desires sent up one common flame,
+  Divided far; thy wretched self alone
+  Cast on the left, of all whom thou hast known;
+  How would it wound! what millions wouldst thou give
+  For one more trial, one more day to live!
+  Flung back in time an hour, a moment's space,
+  To grasp with eagerness the means of grace;
+  Contend for mercy with a pious rage,
+  And in that moment to redeem an age?
+  Drive back the tide, suspend a storm in air,
+  Arrest the sun!--but still of this despair.
+    Mark, on the right, how amiable a grace!
+  Their Maker's image fresh in ev'ry face!
+  What purple bloom my ravish'd soul admires!
+  And their eyes sparkling with immortal fires!
+  Triumphant beauty! charms that rise above
+  This world, and in blest angels kindle love!
+  To the great Judge with holy pride they turn,
+  And dare behold th' Almighty's anger burn;
+  Its flash sustain, against its terror rise,
+  And on the dread tribunal fix their eyes.
+  Are these the forms that moulder'd in the dust?
+  Oh the transcendent glory of the just!
+  Yet still some thin remains of fear and doubt,
+  Th' infected brightness of their joy pollute.
+    Thus the chaste bridegroom, when the priest draws nigh,
+  Beholds his blessing with a trembling eye,
+  Feels doubtful passions throb in every vein,
+  And in his cheeks are mingled joy and pain,
+  Lest still some intervening chance should rise,
+  Leap forth at once, and snatch the golden prize;
+  Inflame his woe, by bringing it so late,
+  And stab him in the crisis of his fate.
+    Since Adam's family, from first to last,
+  Now into one distinct survey is cast;
+  Look round, vainglorious muse, and you whoe'er
+  Devote yourselves to fame, and think her fair;
+  Look round, and seek the lights of human race,
+  Whose shining acts time's brightest annals grace;
+  Who founded sects; crowns conquer'd, or resign'd;
+  Gave names to nations: or fam'd empires join'd;
+  Who raised the vale, and laid the mountain low;
+  And taught obedient rivers where to flow;
+  Who with vast fleets, as with a mighty chain,
+  Could bind the madness of the roaring main:
+  All lost? all undistinguish'd? nowhere found?
+  How will this truth in Bourbon's palace sound?
+    That hour, on which the Almighty King on high
+  From all eternity has fix'd his eye,
+  Whether his right hand favour'd, or annoy'd,
+  Continu'd, alter'd, threaten'd, or destroy'd;
+  Southern or eastern sceptre downward hurl'd,
+  Gave north or west dominion o'er the world;
+  The point of time, for which the world was built,
+  For which the blood of God himself was spilt,
+  That dreadful moment is arriv'd.
+    Aloft, the seats of bliss their pomp display
+  Brighter than brightness, this distinguish'd day;
+  Less glorious, when of old th' eternal Son
+  From realms of night return'd with trophies won:
+  Thro' heaven's high gates, when he triumphant rode,
+  And shouting angels hail'd the victor God.
+  Horrors, beneath, darkness in darkness, hell
+  Of hell, where torments behind torments dwell;
+  A furnace formidable, deep, and wide,
+  O'erboiling with a mad sulphureous tide,
+  Expands its jaws, most dreadful to survey,
+  And roars outrageous for the destin'd prey.
+  The sons of light scarce unappall'd look down,
+  And nearer press heaven's everlasting throne.
+    Such is the scene; and one short moment's space
+  Concludes the hopes and fears of human race.
+  Proceed who dares!--I tremble as I write,
+  The whole creation swims before my sight:
+  I see, I see, the Judge's frowning brow;
+  Say not, 'tis distant; I behold it now;
+  I faint, my tardy blood forgets to flow,
+  My soul recoils at the stupendous woe;
+  That woe, those pangs, which from the guilty breast,
+  In these, or words like these, shall be exprest.
+    "Who burst the barriers of my peaceful grave?
+  Ah! cruel death, that would no longer save,
+  But grudg'd me e'en that narrow dark abode,
+  And cast me out into the wrath of God;
+  Where shrieks, the roaring flame, the rattling chain,
+  And all the dreadful eloquence of pain,
+  Our only song; black fire's malignant light,
+  The sole refreshment of the blasted sight.
+  Must all those pow'rs, heaven gave me to supply
+  My soul with pleasure, and bring in my joy,
+  Rise up in arms against me, join the foe,
+  Sense, reason, memory, increase my woe?
+  And shall my voice, ordain'd on hymns to dwell,
+  Corrupt to groans, and blow the fires of hell?
+  Oh! must I look with terror on my gain,
+  And with existence only measure pain?
+  What! no reprieve, no least indulgence given,
+  No beam of hope, from any point of heaven!
+  Ah mercy! mercy! art thou dead above?
+  Is love extinguish'd in the source of love?
+    "Bold that I am, did heaven stoop down to hell?
+  Th' expiring Lord of life my ransom seal?
+  Have I not been industrious to provoke?
+  From his embraces obstinately broke?
+  Pursu'd and panted for his mortal hate,
+  Earn'd my destruction, labour'd out my fate?
+  And dare I on extinguish'd love exclaim?
+  Take, take full vengeance, rouse the slack'ning flame;
+  Just is my lot--but oh! must it transcend
+  The reach of time, despair a distant end?
+  With dreadful growth shoot forward, and arise,
+  Where thought can't follow, and bold fancy dies?
+    "Never! where falls the soul at that dread sound?
+  Down an abyss how dark, and how profound?
+  Down, down, (I still am falling, horrid pain!)
+  Ten thousand thousand fathoms still remain;
+  My plunge but still begun--And this for sin?
+  Could I offend, if I had never been,
+  But still increas'd the senseless happy mass,
+  Flow'd in the stream, or shiver'd in the grass?
+    "Father of mercies! why from silent earth
+  Didst thou awake, and curse me into birth?
+  Tear me from quiet, ravish me from night,
+  And make a thankless present of thy light?
+  Push into being a reverse of thee,
+  And animate a clod with misery?
+    "The beasts are happy; they come forth, and keep
+  Short watch on earth, and then lie down to sleep.
+  Pain is for man; and oh! how vast a pain
+  For crimes, which made the Godhead bleed in vain!
+  Annull'd his groans, as far as in them lay,
+  And flung his agonies, and death, away!
+  As our dire punishment for ever strong,
+  Our constitution too for ever young,
+  Curs'd with returns of vigour, still the same,
+  Powerful to bear, and satisfy the flame:
+  Still to be caught, and still to be pursu'd!
+  To perish still, and still to be renew'd!
+    "And this, my help! my God! at thy decree?
+  Nature is chang'd, and hell should succour me.
+  And canst thou then look down from perfect bliss,
+  And see me plunging in the dark abyss?
+  Calling thee Father, in a sea of fire?
+  Or pouring blasphemies at thy desire?
+  With mortals' anguish wilt thou raise thy name,
+  And by my pangs omnipotence proclaim?
+    "Thou, who canst toss the planets to and fro,
+  Contract not thy great vengeance to my woe;
+  Crush worlds; in hotter flames fall'n angels lay;
+  On me Almighty wrath is cast away.
+  Call back thy thunders, Lord, hold in thy rage,
+  Nor with a speck of wretchedness engage:
+  Forget me quite, nor stoop a worm to blame;
+  But lose me in the greatness of thy name.
+  Thou art all love, all mercy, all divine,
+  And shall I make these glories cease to shine?
+  Shall sinful man grow great by his offence,
+  And from its course turn back Omnipotence?
+    "Forbid it! and oh! grant, great God, at least
+  This one, this slender, almost no request;
+  When I have wept a thousand lives away,
+  When torment is grown weary of its prey,
+  When I have rav'd ten thousand years in fire,
+  Ten thousand thousand, let me then expire."
+    Deep anguish! but too late; the hopeless soul,
+  Bound to the bottom of the burning pool,
+  Though loth, and ever loud blaspheming, owns
+  He's justly doom'd to pour eternal groans;
+  Enclos'd with horrors, and transfix'd with pain,
+  Rolling in vengeance, struggling with his chain:
+  To talk to fiery tempests; to implore
+  The raging flame to give its burnings o'er;
+  To toss, to writhe, to pant beneath his load,
+  And bear the weight of an offended God.
+    The favour'd of their Judge, in triumph move
+  To take possession of their thrones above;
+  Satan's accurs'd desertion to supply,
+  And fill the vacant stations of the sky;
+  Again to kindle long-extinguish'd rays,
+  And with new lights dilate the heavenly blaze;
+  To crop the roses of immortal youth,
+  And drink the fountain-head of sacred truth
+  To swim in seas of bliss, to strike the string,
+  And lift the voice to their Almighty King;
+  To lose eternity in grateful lays,
+  And fill heaven's wide circumference with praise.
+    But I attempt the wondrous height in vain,
+  And leave unfinish'd the too lofty strain:
+  What boldly I begin, let others end;
+  My strength exhausted, fainting I descend,
+  And choose a less, but no ignoble, theme,
+  Dissolving elements, and worlds, in flame.
+    The fatal period, the great hour, is come,
+  And nature shrinks at her approaching doom;
+  Loud peals of thunder give the sign, and all
+  Heaven's terrors in array surround the ball;
+  Sharp lightnings with the meteor's blaze conspire,
+  And, darted downward, set the world on fire;
+  Black rising clouds the thicken'd ether choke,
+  And spiry flames dart through the rolling smoke,
+  With keen vibrations cut the sullen night,
+  And strike the darken'd sky with dreadful light;
+  From heaven's four regions, with immortal force,
+  Angels drive on the wind's impetuous course,
+  T' enrage the flame: It spreads, it soars on high,
+  Swells in the storm, and billows through the sky:
+  Here winding pyramids of fire ascend,
+  Cities and deserts in one ruin blend;
+  Here blazing volumes wafted, overwhelm
+  The spacious face of a far distant realm;
+  There, undermin'd, down rush eternal hills,
+  The neighb'ring vales the vast destruction fills.
+    Hear'st thou that dreadful crack? that sound which broke
+  Like peals of thunder, and the centre shook?
+  What wonders must that groan of nature tell?
+  Olympus there, and mightier Atlas, fell;
+  Which seem'd above the reach of fate to stand,
+  A tow'ring monument of God's right hand;
+  Now dust and smoke, whose brow, so lately, spread
+  O'er shelter'd countries its diffusive shade.
+    Show me that celebrated spot, where all
+  The various rulers of the sever'd ball
+  Have humbly sought wealth, honour, and redress,
+  That land which heaven seem'd diligent to bless,
+  Once call'd Britannia: can her glories end?
+  And can't surrounding seas her realms defend?
+  Alas! in flames behold surrounding seas!
+  Like oil, their waters but augment the blaze.
+    Some angel say, where ran proud Asia's bound?
+  Or where with fruits was fair Europa crown'd?
+  Where stretch'd waste Lybia? Where did India's shore
+  Sparkle in diamonds, and her golden ore?
+  Each lost in each, their mingling kingdoms glow,
+  And all dissolv'd, one fiery deluge flow:
+  Thus earth's contending monarchies are join'd,
+  And a full period of ambition find.
+    And now whate'er or swims, or walks, or flies,
+  Inhabitants of sea, or earth, or skies;
+  All on whom Adam's wisdom fix'd a name,
+  All plunge, and perish in the conquering flame.
+    This globe alone would but defraud the fire,
+  Starve its devouring rage: the flakes aspire,
+  And catch the clouds, and make the heavens their prey;
+  The sun, the moon, the stars, all melt away;
+  All, all is lost; no monument, no sign,
+  Where once so proudly blaz'd the gay machine.
+  So bubbles on the foaming stream expire,
+  So sparks that scatter from the kindling fire;
+  The devastations of one dreadful hour
+  The great Creator's six days' work devour.
+  A mighty, mighty ruin! yet one soul
+  Has more to boast, and far outweighs the whole
+  Exalted in superior excellence,
+  Casts down to nothing, such a vast expense.
+  Have you not seen th' eternal mountains nod,
+  An earth dissolving, a descending God?
+  What strange surprises through all nature ran?
+  For whom these revolutions, but for man?
+  For him, Omnipotence new measures takes,
+  For him, through all eternity, awakes;
+  Pours on him gifts sufficient to supply
+  Heaven's loss, and with fresh glories fill the sky.
+    Think deeply then, O man, how great thou art;
+  Pay thyself homage with a trembling heart;
+  What angels guard, no longer dare neglect,
+  Slighting thyself, affront not God's respect.
+  Enter the sacred temple of thy breast,
+  And gaze, and wander there, a ravish'd guest;
+  Gaze on those hidden treasures thou shalt find,
+  Wander through all the glories of thy mind.
+  Of perfect knowledge, see, the dawning light
+  Foretells a noon most exquisitely bright!
+  Here, springs of endless joy are breaking forth!
+  There, buds the promise of celestial worth!
+  Worth, which must ripen in a happier clime,
+  And brighter sun, beyond the bounds of time.
+  Thou, minor, canst not guess thy vast estate,
+  What stores, on foreign coasts, thy landing wait:
+  Lose not thy claim, let virtue's path be trod;
+  Thus glad all heaven, and please that bounteous God,
+  Who, to light thee to pleasures, hung on high
+  Yon radiant orb, proud regent of the sky:
+  That service done, its beams shall fade away,
+  And God shine forth in one eternal day.

+
+
+  From lofty themes, from thoughts that soar'd on high,
+  And open'd wondrous scenes above the sky,
+  My muse descend: indulge my fond desire;
+  With softer thoughts my melting soul inspire,
+  And smooth my numbers to a female's praise:
+  A partial world will listen to my lays,
+  While Anna reigns, and sets a female name
+  Unrival'd in the glorious lists of fame.
+    Hear, ye fair daughters of this happy land,
+  Whose radiant eyes the vanquish'd world command,
+  Virtue is beauty: but when charms of mind
+  With elegance of outward form are join'd;
+  When youth makes such bright objects still more bright,
+  And fortune sets them in the strongest light;
+  'Tis all of heaven that we below may view,
+  And all, but adoration, is your due.
+  Fam'd female virtue did this isle adorn,
+  Ere Ormond, or her glorious queen, was born:
+  When now Maria's powerful arms prevail'd,
+  And haughty Dudley's bold ambition fail'd,
+  The beauteous daughter of great Suffolk's race,
+  In blooming youth adorn'd with every grace;
+  Who gain'd a crown by treason not her own,
+  And innocently fill'd another's throne;
+  Hurl'd from the summit of imperial state,
+  With equal mind sustain'd the stroke of fate.
+    But how will Guilford, her far dearer part,
+  With manly reason fortify his heart?
+  At once she longs, and is afraid, to know:
+  Now swift she moves, and now advances slow,
+  To find her lord; and, finding, passes by,
+  Silent with fear, nor dares she meet his eye;
+  Lest that, unask'd, in speechless grief, disclose
+  The mournful secret of his inward woes.
+  Thus, after sickness, doubtful of her face,
+  The melancholy virgin shuns the glass.
+    At length, with troubled thought, but look serene,
+  And sorrow soften'd by her heavenly mien,
+  She clasps her lord, brave, beautiful, and young,
+  While tender accents melt upon her tongue;
+  Gentle, and sweet, as vernal zephyr blows,
+  Fanning the lily, or the blooming rose.
+    "Grieve not, my lord; a crown indeed is lost;
+  What far outshines a crown, we still may boast;
+  A mind compos'd; a mind that can disdain
+  A fruitless sorrow for a loss so vain.
+  Nothing is loss that virtue can improve
+  To wealth eternal; and return above;
+  Above, where no distinction shall be known
+  'Twixt him whom storms have shaken from a throne,
+  And him, who, basking in the smiles of fate,
+  Shone forth in all the splendour of the great:
+  Nor can I find the diff'rence here below;
+  I lately was a queen; I still am so,
+  While Guilford's wife: thee rather I obey,
+  Than o'er mankind extend imperial sway.
+  When we lie down in some obscure retreat,
+  Incens'd Maria may her rage forget;
+  And I to death my duty will improve,
+  And what you miss in empire, add in love--
+  Your godlike soul is open'd in your look,
+  And I have faintly your great meaning spoke,
+  For this alone I'm pleas'd I wore the crown,
+  To find with what content we lay it down.
+  Heroes may win, but 't is a heavenly race
+  Can quit a throne with a becoming grace."
+    Thus spoke the fairest of her sex, and cheer'd
+  Her drooping lord; whose boding bosom fear'd
+  A darker cloud of ills would burst, and shed
+  Severer vengeance on her guiltless head:
+  Too just, alas, the terrors which he felt!
+  For, lo! a guard!--Forgive him, if he melt--
+  How sharp her pangs, when sever'd from his side,
+  The most sincerely lov'd, and loving bride,
+  In space confin'd, the muse forbears to tell;
+  Deep was her anguish, but she bore it well.
+  His pain was equal, but his virtue less;
+  He thought in grief there could be no excess.
+  Pensive he sat, o'ercast with gloomy care,
+  And often fondly clasp'd his absent fair;
+  Now, silent, wander'd thro' his rooms of state,
+  And sicken'd at the pomp, and tax'd his fate;
+  Which thus adorn'd, in all her shining store,
+  A splendid wretch, magnificently poor.
+  Now on the bridal-bed his eyes were cast,
+  And anguish fed on his enjoyments past;
+  Each recollected pleasure made him smart,
+  And every transport stabb'd him to the heart.
+    That happy moon, which summon'd to delight,
+  That moon which shone on his dear nuptial night,
+  Which saw him fold her yet untasted charms
+  (Denied to princes) in his longing arms;
+  Now sees the transient blessing fleet away,
+  Empire and love! the vision of a day.
+    Thus, in the British clime, a summer-storm
+  Will oft the smiling face of heaven deform;
+  The winds with violence at once descend,
+  Sweep flowers and fruits, and make the forest bend;
+  A sudden winter, while the sun is near,
+  O'ercomes the season, and inverts the year.
+    But whither is the captive borne away,
+  The beauteous captive, from the cheerful day?
+  The scene is chang'd indeed; before her eyes
+  Ill boding looks and unknown horrors rise:
+  For pomp and splendour, for her guard and crown,
+  A gloomy dungeon, and a keeper's frown:
+  Black thoughts, each morn, invade the lover's breast,
+  Each night, a ruffian locks the queen to rest.
+    Ah mournful change, if judg'd by vulgar minds!
+  But Suffolk's daughter its advantage finds.
+  Religion's force divine is best display'd
+  In deep desertion of all human aid:
+  To succour in extremes, is her delight,
+  And cheer the heart, when terror strikes the sight.
+  We, disbelieving our own senses, gaze,
+  And wonder what a mortal's heart can raise
+  To triumph o'er misfortunes, smile in grief,
+  And comfort those who come to bring relief:
+  We gaze; and as we gaze, wealth, fame, decay,
+  And all the world's vain glories fade away.
+    Against her cares she rais'd a dauntless mind,
+  And with an ardent heart, but most resign'd,
+  Deep in the dreadful gloom, with pious heat,
+  Amid the silence of her dark retreat,
+  Address'd her God,--"Almighty power divine!
+  'Tis thine to raise, and to depress, is thine;
+  With honour to light up the name unknown,
+  Or to put out the lustre of a throne.
+  In my short span both fortunes I have prov'd,
+  And though with ill frail nature will be mov'd,
+  I'll bear it well: (O strengthen me to bear!)
+  And if my piety may claim thy care;
+  If I remember'd, in youth's giddy heat,
+  And tumult of a court, a future state;
+  O favour, when thy mercy I implore
+  For one who never guilty sceptre bore!
+  'Twas I receiv'd the crown; my lord is free;
+  If it must fall, let vengeance fall on me.
+  Let him survive, his country's name to raise,
+  And in a guilty land to speak thy praise!
+  O may th' indulgence of a father's love,
+  Pour'd forth on me, be doubled from above!
+  If these are safe, I'll think my prayers succeed,
+  And bless thy tender mercies, whilst I bleed."
+    'Twas now the mournful eve before that day
+  In which the queen to her full wrath gave way;
+  Thro' rigid justice, rush'd into offence,
+  And drank in zeal the blood of innocence:
+  The sun went down in clouds, and seem'd to mourn
+  The sad necessity of his return;
+  The hollow wind, and melancholy rain,
+  Or did, or was imagin'd to, complain:
+  The tapers cast an inauspicious light;
+  Stars there were none, and doubly dark the night.
+    Sweet innocence in chains can take her rest;
+  Soft slumber gently creeping through her breast,
+  She sinks; and in her sleep is reinthron'd,
+  Mock'd by a gaudy dream, and vainly crown'd.
+  She views her fleets and armies, seas and land,
+  And stretches wide her shadow of command:
+  With royal purple is her vision hung;
+  By phantom hosts are shouts of conquest rung;
+  Low at her feet the suppliant rival lies;
+  Our prisoner mourns her fate, and bids her rise.
+  Now level beams upon the waters play'd,
+  Glanc'd on the hills, and westward cast the shade;
+  The busy trades in city had began
+  To sound, and speak the painful life of man.
+  In tyrants' breasts the thoughts of vengeance rouse,
+  And the fond bridegroom turns him to his spouse.
+  At this first birth of light, while morning breaks,
+  Our spouseless bride, our widow'd wife, awakes;
+  Awakes, and smiles; nor night's imposture blames;
+  Her real pomps were little more than dreams;
+  A short-liv'd blaze, a lightning quickly o'er,
+  That died in birth, that shone, and were no more:
+  She turns her side, and soon resumes a state
+  Of mind, well suited to her alter'd fate,
+  Serene, though serious; when dread tidings come
+  (Ah wretched Guilford!) of her instant doom.
+  Sun, hide thy beams; in clouds as black as night
+  Thy face involve; be guiltless of the sight;
+  Or haste more swiftly to the western main;
+  Nor let her blood the conscious daylight stain!
+    Oh! how severe! to fall so new a bride,
+  Yet blushing from the priest, in youthful pride;
+  When time had just matur'd each perfect grace,
+  And open'd all the wonders of her face!
+  To leave her Guilford dead to all relief,
+  Fond of his woe, and obstinate in grief.
+  Unhappy fair! whatever fancy drew,
+  (Vain promis'd blessings,) vanish from her view;
+  No train of cheerful days, endearing nights,
+  No sweet domestic joys, and chaste delights;
+  Pleasures that blossom e'en from doubts and fears;
+  And bliss and rapture rising out of cares:
+  No little Guilford, with paternal grace,
+  Lull'd on her knee, or smiling in her face;
+  Who, when her dearest father shall return,
+  From pouring tears on her untimely urn,
+  Might comfort to his silver hairs impart,
+  And fill her place in his indulgent heart:
+  As where fruits fall, quick rising blossoms smile,
+  And the bless'd Indian of his care beguile,
+    In vain these various reasons jointly press,
+  To blacken death, and heighten her distress;
+  She, thro' th' encircling terrors darts her sight
+  To the bless'd regions of eternal light,
+  And fills her soul with peace: to weeping friends
+  Her father, and her lord, she recommends;
+  Unmov'd herself: her foes her air survey,
+  And rage to see their malice thrown away.
+  She soars; now nought on earth detains her care----
+  But Guilford; who still struggles for his share.
+  Still will his form importunately rise,
+  Clog and retard her transport to the skies;
+  As trembling flames now take a feeble flight,
+  Now catch the brand with a returning light,
+  Thus her soul onward from the seats above
+  Falls fondly back, and kindles into love:
+  At length she conquers in the doubtful field;
+  That heaven she seeks will be her Guilford's shield.
+  Now death is welcome; his approach is slow;
+  'Tis tedious longer to expect the blow.
+  Oh! mortals, short of sight, who think the past
+  O'erblown misfortune still shall prove the last:
+  Alas! misfortunes travel in a train,
+  And oft in life form one perpetual chain;
+  Fear buries fear, and ills on ills attend,
+  Till life and sorrow meet one common end.
+    She thinks that she has nought but death to fear,
+  And death is conquer'd. Worse than death is near.
+  Her rigid trials are not yet complete;
+  The news arrives of her great father's fate.
+  She sees his hoary head, all white with age,
+  A victim to th' offended monarch's rage.
+  How great the mercy, had she breath'd her last,
+  Ere the dire sentence on her father past!
+    A fonder parent nature never knew;
+  And as his age increas'd, his fondness grew.
+  A parent's love ne'er better was bestow'd;
+  The pious daughter in her heart o'erflow'd.
+  And can she from all weakness still refrain?
+  And still the firmness of her soul maintain?
+  Impossible! a sigh will force its way;
+  One patient tear her mortal birth betray;
+  She sighs and weeps! but so she weeps and sighs,
+  As silent dews descend, and vapours rise.
+    Celestial patience! how dost thou defeat
+  The foe's proud menace, and elude his hate!
+  While passion takes his part, betrays our peace;
+  To death and torture swells each slight disgrace;
+  By not opposing, thou dost ills destroy,
+  And wear thy conquer'd sorrows into joy.
+  Now she revolves within her anxious mind,
+  What woe still lingers in reserve behind.
+  Griefs rise on griefs, and she can see no bound,
+  While nature lasts, and can receive a wound.
+  The sword is drawn; the queen to rage inclin'd,
+  By mercy, nor by piety, confin'd.
+  What mercy can the zealot's heart assuage,
+  Whose piety itself converts to rage?
+  She thought, and sigh'd. And now the blood began
+  To leave her beauteous cheek all cold and wan.
+  New sorrow dimm'd the lustre of her eye,
+  And on her cheek the fading roses die.
+  Alas! should Guilford too--when now she's brought
+  To that dire view, that precipice of thought,
+  While there she trembling stands, nor dares look down,
+  Nor can recede, till heaven's decrees are known;
+  Cure of all ills, till now, her lord appears--
+  But not to cheer her heart, and dry her tears!
+  Not now, as usual, like the rising day,
+  To chase the shadows, and the damps away:
+  But, like a gloomy storm, at once to sweep
+  And plunge her to the bottom of the deep.
+  Black were his robes, dejected was his air,
+  His voice was frozen by his cold despair;
+  Slow, like a ghost, he mov'd with solemn pace;
+  A dying paleness sat upon his face.
+  Back she recoil'd, she smote her lovely breast,
+  Her eyes the anguish of her heart confess'd;
+  Struck to the soul, she stagger'd with the wound,
+  And sunk, a breathless image, to the ground.
+    Thus the fair lily, when the sky's o'ercast,
+  At first but shudders in the feeble blast;
+  But when the winds and weighty rains descend,
+  The fair and upright stem is forc'd to bend;
+  Till broke at length, its snowy leaves are shed,
+  And strew with dying sweets their native bed.

+                                                                --VIRG.
+
+
+  Her Guilford clasps her, beautiful in death,
+  And with a kiss recalls her fleeting breath,
+  To tapers thus, which by a blast expire,
+  A lighted taper, touch'd, restores the fire:
+  She rear'd her swimming eye, and saw the light,
+  And Guilford too, or she had loath'd the sight:
+  Her father's death she bore, despis'd her own,
+  But now she must, she will, have leave to groan:
+  Ah! Guilford, she began, and would have spoke;
+  But sobs rush'd in, and ev'ry accent broke:
+  Reason itself, as gusts of passion blew,
+  Was ruffled in the tempest, and withdrew.
+    So the youth lost his image in the well,
+  When tears upon the yielding surface fell.
+  The scatter'd features slid into decay,
+  And spreading circles drove his face away.
+  To touch the soft affections, and control
+  The manly temper of the bravest soul,
+  What with afflicted beauty can compare,
+  And drops of love distilling from the fair?
+  It melts us down; our pains delight bestow;
+  And we with fondness languish o'er our woe.
+    This Guilford prov'd; and, with excess of pain,
+  And pleasure too, did to his bosom strain
+  The weeping fair: sunk deep in soft desire,
+  Indulg'd his love, and nurs'd the raging fire:
+  Then tore himself away; and, standing wide,
+  As fearing a relapse of fondness, cried,
+  With ill-dissembled grief; "My life, forbear!
+  You wound your Guilford with each cruel tear:
+  Did you not chide my grief? repress your own;
+  Nor want compassion for yourself alone:
+  Have you beheld, how, from the distant main,
+  The thronging waves roll on, a num'rous train,
+  And foam, and bellow, till they reach the shore;
+  There burst their noisy pride, and are no more?
+  Thus the successive flows of human race,
+  Chas'd by the coming, the preceding, chase;
+  They sound, and swell, their haughty heads they rear;
+  Then fall, and flatten, break, and disappear.
+  Life is a forfeit we must shortly pay;
+  And where's the mighty lucre of a day?
+  Why should you mourn my fate? 'tis most unkind;
+  Your own you bore with an unshaken mind:
+  And which, can you imagine, was the dart
+  That drank most blood, sunk deepest in my heart?
+  I cannot live without you; and my doom
+  I meet with joy, to share one common tomb.--
+  And are again your tears profusely spilt!
+  Oh! then, my kindness blackens to my guilt;
+  It foils itself, if it recall your pain;--
+  Life of my life, I beg you to refrain!
+  The load which fate imposes, you increase;
+  And help Maria to destroy my peace."
+    But, oh! against himself his labour turn'd;
+  The more he comforted, the more she mourn'd:
+  Compassion swells our grief; words soft and kind
+  But soothe our weakness, and dissolve the mind:
+  Her sorrow flow'd in streams; nor hers alone,
+  While that he blam'd, he yielded to his own.
+  Where are the smiles she wore, when she, so late,
+  Hail'd him great partner of the regal state;
+  When orient gems around her temples blaz'd,
+  And bending nations on the glory gaz'd?
+    'Tis now the queen's command, they both retreat,
+  To weep with dignity, and mourn in state:
+  She forms the decent misery with joy,
+  And loads with pomp the wretch she would destroy.
+  A spacious hall is hung with black; all light
+  Shut out, and noon-day darken'd into night.
+  From the mid-roof a lamp depends on high,
+  Like a dim crescent in a clouded sky:
+  It sheds a quiv'ring melancholy gloom,
+  Which only shows the darkness of the room.
+  A shining axe is on the table laid;
+  A dreadful sight! and glitters through the shade.
+    In this sad scene the lovers are confin'd;
+  A scene of terrors, to a guilty mind!
+  A scene, that would have damp'd with rising cares,
+  And quite extinguish'd every love but theirs.
+  What can they do? They fix their mournful eyes----
+  Then Guilford, thus abruptly; "I despise
+  An empire lost; I fling away the crown;
+  Numbers have laid that bright delusion down;
+  But where's the Charles, or Dioclesian where,
+  Could quit the blooming, wedded, weeping fair?
+  Oh! to dwell ever on thy lip! to stand
+  In full possession of thy snowy hand!
+  And, thro' th' unclouded crystal of thine eye,
+  The heavenly treasures of thy mind to spy!
+  Till rapture reason happily destroys,
+  And my soul wanders through immortal joys!
+  Give me the world, and ask me, where's my bliss?
+  I clasp thee to my breast, and answer, this.
+  And shall the grave"--He groans, and can no more;
+  But all her charms in silence traces o'er;
+  Her lip, her cheek, and eye, to wonder wrought;
+  And, wond'ring, sees, in sad presaging thought,
+  From that fair neck, that world of beauty fall,
+  And roll along the dust, a ghastly ball!
+    Oh! let those tremble, who are greatly bless'd!
+  For who, but Guilford, could be thus distress'd?
+  Come hither, all you happy, all you great,
+  From flowery meadows, and from rooms of state;
+  Nor think I call, your pleasures to destroy,
+  But to refine, and to exalt your joy:
+  Weep not; but, smiling, fix your ardent care
+  On nobler titles than the brave or fair.
+    Was ever such a mournful, moving sight?
+  See, if you can, by that dull, trembling light:
+  Now they embrace; and, mix'd with bitter woe,
+  Like Isis and her Thames, one stream they flow:
+  Now they start wide; fix'd in benumbing care,
+  They stiffen into statues of despair:
+  Now, tenderly severe, and fiercely kind,
+  They rush at once; they fling their cares behind,
+  And clasp, as if to death; new vows repeat;
+  And, quite wrapp'd up in love, forget their fate.
+  A short delusion! for the raging pain
+  Returns; and their poor hearts must bleed again.
+    Meantime, the queen new cruelty decreed;
+  But, ill content that they should only bleed,
+  A priest is sent; who, with insidious art,
+  Instills his poison into Suffolk's heart;
+  And Guilford drank it: banging on the breast,
+  He from his childhood was with Rome possest.
+  When now the ministers of death draw nigh,
+  And in her dearest lord she first must die,
+  The subtle priest, who long had watch'd to find
+  The most unguarded passes of her mind,
+  Bespoke her thus: "Grieve not; 'tis in your power
+  Your lord to rescue from this fatal hour."
+  Her bosom pants; she draws her breath with pain;
+  A sudden horror thrills through every vein;
+  Life seems suspended, on his words intent;
+  And her soul trembles for the great event.
+    The priest proceeds: "Embrace the faith of Rome,
+  And ward your own, your lord's, and father's doom."
+  Ye blessed spirits! now your charge sustain;
+  The past was ease; now first she suffers pain.
+  Must she pronounce her father's death? must she
+  Bid Guilford bleed?--It must not, cannot, be.
+  It cannot be! But 'tis the Christian's praise,
+  Above impossibilities to raise
+  The weakness of our nature; and deride
+  Of vain philosophy the boasted pride.
+  What though our feeble sinews scarce impart
+  A moment's swiftness to the feather'd dart;
+  Though tainted air our vig'rous youth can break,
+  And a chill blast the hardy warrior shake,
+  Yet are we strong: hear the loud tempest roar
+  From east to west, and call us weak no more;
+  The lightning's unresisted force proclaims
+  Our might; and thunders raise our humble names;
+  'Tis our Jehovah fills the heavens; as long
+  As he shall reign Almighty, we are strong:
+  We, by devotion, borrow from his throne;
+  And almost make Omnipotence our own:
+  We force the gates of heaven, by fervent prayer;
+  And call forth triumph out of man's despair.
+    Our lovely mourner, kneeling, lifts her eyes
+  And bleeding heart, in silence, to the skies,
+  Devoutly sad--then, bright'ning, like the day,
+  When sudden winds sweep scatter'd clouds away,
+  Shining in majesty, till now unknown,
+  And breathing life and spirit scarce her own;
+  She, rising, speaks: "If these the terms----"
+    Here, Guilford, cruel Guilford, (barb'rous man!
+  Is this thy love?) as swift as lightning ran;
+  O'erwhelm'd her with tempestuous sorrow fraught,
+  And stifled, in its birth, the mighty thought;
+  Then bursting fresh into a flood of tears,
+  Fierce, resolute, delirious with his fears;
+  His fears for her alone: he beat his breast,
+  And thus the fervour of his soul exprest:
+  "Oh! let thy thought o'er our past converse rove,
+  And show one moment uninflam'd with love!
+  Oh! if thy kindness can no longer last,
+  In pity to thyself, forget the past!
+  Else wilt thou never, void of shame and fear,
+  Pronounce his doom, whom thou hast held so dear:
+  Thou who hast took me to thy arms, and swore
+  Empires were vile, and fate could give no more:
+  That to continue, was its utmost power,
+  And make the future like the present hour.
+  Now call a ruffian; bid his cruel sword
+  Lay wide the bosom of thy worthless lord;
+  Transfix his heart (since you its love disclaim),
+  And stain his honour with a traitor's name.
+  This might perhaps be borne without remorse;
+  But sure a father's pangs will have their force!
+  Shall his good age, so near its journey's end,
+  Through cruel torment to the grave descend?
+  His shallow blood all issue at a wound,
+  Wash a slave's feet, and smoke upon the ground?
+  But he to you has ever been severe;
+  Then take your vengeance"--Suffolk now drew near;
+  Bending beneath the burden of his care;
+  His robes neglected, and his head was bare;
+  Decrepid winter, in the yearly ring,
+  Thus slowly creeps, to meet the blooming spring:
+  Downward he cast a melancholy look;
+  Thrice turn'd, to hide his grief; then faintly spoke:
+  "Now deep in years, and forward in decay,
+  That axe can only rob me of a day;
+  For thee, my soul's desire! I can't refrain;
+  And shall my tears, my last tears, flow in vain?
+  When you shall know a mother's tender name,
+  My heart's distress no longer will you blame."
+  At this, afar his bursting groans were heard;
+  The tears ran trickling down his silver beard:
+  He snatch'd her hand, which to his lips he prest,
+  And bid her plant a dagger in his breast;
+  Then, sinking, call'd her piety unjust,
+  And soil'd his hoary temples in the dust.
+    Hard-hearted men! will you no mercy know?
+  Has the queen brib'd you to distress her foe?
+  O weak deserters to misfortune's part,
+  By false affection thus to pierce her heart!
+  When she had soar'd, to let your arrows fly,
+  And fetch her bleeding from the middle sky!
+  And can her virtue, springing from the ground,
+  Her flight recover, and disdain the wound,
+  When cleaving love, and human interest, bind
+  The broken force of her aspiring mind;
+  As round the gen'rous eagle, which in vain
+  Exerts her strength, the serpent wreaths his train,
+  Her struggling wings entangles, curling plies
+  His pois'nous tail, and stings her as she flies!
+    While yet the blow's first dreadful weight she feels,
+  And with its force her resolution reels;
+  Large doors, unfolding with a mournful sound,
+  To view discover, welt'ring on the ground,
+  Three headless trunks, of those whose arms maintain'd,
+  And in her wars immortal glory gain'd:
+  The lifted axe assur'd her ready doom,
+  And silent mourners sadden'd all the room.
+  Shall I proceed; or here break off my tale;
+  Nor truths, to stagger human faith, reveal?
+    She met this utmost malice of her fate
+  With Christian dignity, and pious state:
+  The beating storm's propitious rage she blest,
+  And all the martyr triumph'd in her breast:
+  Her lord and father, for a moment's space,
+  She strictly folded in her soft embrace!
+  Then thus she spoke, while angels heard on high,
+  And sudden gladness smil'd along the sky:
+    "Your over fondness has not mov'd my hate;
+  I am well pleas'd you make my death so great;
+  I joy I cannot save you; and have giv'n
+  Two lives, much dearer than my own, to heaven,
+  If so the queen decrees:(4)--But I have cause
+  To hope my blood will satisfy the laws;
+  And there is mercy still, for you, in store:
+  With me the bitterness of death is o'er.
+  He shot his sting in that farewell embrace;
+  And all, that is to come, is joy and peace.
+  Then let mistaken sorrow be supprest,
+  Nor seem to envy my approaching rest."
+  Then, turning to the ministers of fate,
+  She, smiling, says, "My victory complete:
+  And tell your queen, I thank her for the blow,
+  And grieve my gratitude I cannot show:
+  A poor return I leave in England's crown,
+  For everlasting pleasure, and renown:
+  Her guilt alone allays this happy hour;
+  Her guilt,--the only vengeance in her power."
+    Not Rome, untouch'd with sorrow, heard her fate;
+  And fierce Maria pitied her too late.

+
+
+                    In Seven Characteristical Satires.
+
+
+      ----Fulgente trahit constrictos gloria curru.
+      Non minus ignotos generosis.
+
+                                                                 --HOR.
+
+
+
+
+                                 Preface.
+
+
+These satires have been favourably received at home and abroad. I am not
+conscious of the least malevolence to any particular person through all
+the characters; though some persons may be so selfish, as to engross a
+general application to themselves. A writer in polite letters should be
+content with reputation; the private amusement he finds in his
+compositions; the good influence they have on his severer studies; that
+admission they give him to his superiors; and the possible good effect
+they may have on the public; or else he should join to his politeness some
+more lucrative qualification.
+
+But it is possible, that satire may not do much good: men may rise in
+their affections to their follies, as they do to their friends, when they
+are abused by others: it is much to be feared, that misconduct will never
+be chased out of the world by satire; all therefore that is to be said for
+it is, that misconduct will certainly be never chased out of the world by
+satire, if no satires are written: nor is that term unapplicable to graver
+compositions. Ethics, heathen and Christian, and the Scriptures
+themselves, are, in a great measure, a satire on the weakness and iniquity
+of men; and some part of that satire is in verse too: nay, in the first
+ages, philosophy and poetry were the same thing; wisdom wore no other
+dress: so that, I hope, these satires will be the more easily pardoned
+that misfortune by the severe. Nay, historians themselves may be
+considered as satirists, and satirists most severe; since such are most
+human actions, that to relate, is to expose them.
+
+No man can converse much in the world, but, at what he meets with, he must
+either be insensible, or grieve, or be angry, or smile. Some passion (if
+we are not impassive) must be moved; for the general conduct of mankind is
+by no means a thing indifferent to a reasonable and virtuous man. Now to
+smile at it, and turn it into ridicule, I think most eligible; as it hurts
+ourselves least, and gives vice and folly the greatest offence: and that
+for this reason; because what men aim at by them, is, generally, public
+opinion and esteem; which truth is the subject of the following satire;
+and joins them together, as several brandies from the same root: a unity
+of design, which has not, I think, in a set of satires, been attempted
+before.
+
+Laughing at the misconduct of the world, will, in a great measure, ease us
+of any more disagreeable passion about it. One passion is more effectually
+driven out by another, than by reason; whatever some may teach: for to
+reason we owe our passions: had we not reason, we should not be offended
+at what we find amiss: and the cause seems not to be the natural cure of
+any effect.
+
+Moreover, laughing satire bids the fairest for success: the world is too
+proud to be fond of a serious tutor; and when an author is in a passion,
+the laugh, generally, as in conversation, turns against him. This kind of
+satire only has any delicacy in it. Of this delicacy Horace is the best
+master: he appears in good humour while he censures; and therefore his
+censure has the more weight, as supposed to proceed from judgment, not
+from passion. Juvenal is ever in a passion; he has little valuable but his
+eloquence and morality: the last of which I have had in my eye: but rather
+for emulation, than imitation, through my whole work.
+
+But though I comparatively condemn Juvenal, in part of the sixth satire
+(where the occasion most required it), I endeavoured to touch on his
+manner; but was forced to quit it soon, as disagreeable to the writer, and
+reader too. Boileau has joined both the Roman satirists with great
+success; but has too much of Juvenal in his very serious satire on woman,
+which should have been the gayest of all. An excellent critic of our own
+commends Boileau's closeness, or, as he calls it, pressness, particularly;
+whereas, it appears to me, that repetition is his fault, if any fault
+should be imputed to him.
+
+There are some prose satirists of the greatest delicacy and wit; the last
+of which can never, or should never, succeed without the former. An author
+without it, betrays too great a contempt for mankind, and opinion of
+himself, which are bad advocates for reputation and success. What a
+difference is there between the merit, if not the wit, of Cervantes and
+Rabelais? The last has a particular art of throwing a great deal of genius
+and learning into frolic and jest; but the genius and the scholar is all
+you can admire; you want the gentleman to converse with in him: he is like
+a criminal who receives his life for some services; you commend, but you
+pardon too. Indecency offends our pride, as men; and our unaffected taste,
+as judges of composition: nature has wisely formed us with an aversion to
+it; and he that succeeds in spite of it, is,(5) aliena venia, quam sua
+providentia tutior.
+
+Such wits, like false oracles of old (which were wits and cheats), should
+set up for reputation among the weak, in some Boeotia, which was the land
+of oracles; for the wise will hold them in contempt. Some wits, too, like
+oracles, deal in ambiguities; but not with equal success: for though
+ambiguities are the first excellence of an impostor, they are the last of
+a wit.
+
+Some satirical wits and humourists, like their father Lucian, laugh at
+every thing indiscriminately; which betrays such a poverty of wit, as
+cannot afford to part with any thing; and such a want of virtue, as to
+postpone it to a jest. Such writers encourage vice and folly, which they
+pretend to combat, by setting them on an equal foot with better things:
+and while they labour to bring every thing into contempt, how can they
+expect their own parts should escape? Some French writers, particularly,
+are guilty of this in matters of the last consequence; and some of our
+own. They that are for lessening the true dignity of mankind, are not sure
+of being successful, but with regard to one individual in it. It is this
+conduct that justly makes a wit a term of reproach.
+
+Which puts me in mind of Plato's fable of the birth of love; one of the
+prettiest fables of all antiquity; which will hold likewise with regard to
+modern poetry. Love, says he, is the son of the goddess poverty, and the
+god of riches: he has from his father his daring genius; his elevation of
+thought; his building castles in the air; his prodigality; his neglect of
+things serious and useful; his vain opinion of his own merit; and his
+affectation of preference and distinction: from his mother he inherits his
+indigence, which makes him a constant beggar of favours; that importunity
+with which he begs; his flattery; his servility; his fear of being
+despised, which is inseparable from him. This addition may be made; viz.
+that poetry, like love, is a little subject to blindness, which makes her
+mistake her way to preferments and honours; that she has her satirical
+quiver; and, lastly, that she retains a dutiful admiration of her father's
+family; but divides her favours, and generally lives with her mother's
+relations.
+
+However, this is not necessity, but choice: were wisdom her governess, she
+might have much more of the father than the mother; especially in such an
+age as this, which shows a due passion for her charms.

+
+
+                     TO HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF DORSET.
+
+
+      ----Tanto major famae sitis est, quam
+      Virtutis.
+
+                                                          JUV. SAT. X.
+
+
+  My verse is satire; Dorset, lend your ear,
+  And patronize a muse you cannot fear.
+  To poets sacred is a Dorset's name:
+  Their wonted passport through the gates of fame:
+  It bribes the partial reader into praise,
+  And throws a glory round the shelter'd lays:
+  The dazzled judgment fewer faults can see,
+  And gives applause to Blackmore, or to me.
+  But you decline the mistress we pursue;
+  Others are fond of fame, but fame of you.
+    Instructive satire, true to virtue's cause!
+  Thou shining supplement of public laws!
+  When flatter'd crimes of a licentious age
+  Reproach our silence, and demand our rage;
+  When purchas'd follies, from each distant land,
+  Like arts, improve in Britain's skilful hand;
+  When the law shows her teeth, but dares not bite,
+  And south sea treasures are not brought to light;
+  When churchmen scripture for the classics quit,
+  Polite apostates from God's grace to wit;
+  When men grow great from their revenue spent,
+  And fly from bailiffs into parliament;
+  When dying sinners, to blot out their score,
+  Bequeath the church the leavings of a whore;
+  To chafe our spleen, when themes like these increase,
+  Shall panegyric reign, and censure cease?
+    Shall poesy, like law, turn wrong to right,
+  And dedications wash an AEthiop white,
+  Set up each senseless wretch for nature's boast,
+  On whom praise shines, as trophies on a post?
+  Shall fun'ral eloquence her colours spread,
+  And scatter roses on the wealthy dead?
+  Shall authors smile on such illustrious days,
+  And satirize with nothing--but their praise?
+    Why slumbers Pope, who leads the tuneful train,
+  Nor hears that virtue, which he loves, complain?
+  Donne, Dorset, Dryden, Rochester, are dead,
+  And guilt's chief foe, in Addison, is fled;
+  Congreve, who, crown'd with laurels, fairly won,
+  Sits smiling at the goal, while others run,
+  He will not write; and (more provoking still!)
+  Ye gods! he will not write, and Maevius will.
+    Doubly distrest, what author shall we find
+  Discreetly daring, and severely kind,
+  The courtly(6) Roman's shining path to tread,
+  And sharply smile prevailing folly dead?
+  Will no superior genius snatch the quill,
+  And save me, on the brink, from writing ill?
+  Tho' vain the strife, I'll strive my voice to raise,
+  What will not men attempt for sacred praise?
+    The love of praise, howe'er conceal'd by art,
+  Reigns, more or less, and glows, in ev'ry heart:
+  The proud, to gain it, toils on toils endure;
+  The modest shun it, but to make it sure.
+  O'er globes, and sceptres, now on thrones it swells;
+  Now, trims the midnight lamp in college cells:
+  'Tis tory, whig; it plots, prays, preaches, pleads,
+  Harangues in senates, squeaks in masquerades.
+  Here, to Steele's humour makes a bold pretence
+  There, bolder, aims at Pulteney's eloquence.
+  It aids the dancer's heel, the writer's head,
+  And heaps the plain with mountains of the dead;
+  Nor ends with life; but nods in sable plumes,
+  Adorns our hearse, and flatters on our tombs.
+    What is not proud? The pimp is proud to see
+  So many like himself in high degree:
+  The whore is proud her beauties are the dread
+  Of peevish virtue, and the marriage-bed;
+  And the brib'd cuckold, like crown'd victims born
+  To slaughter, glories in his gilded horn.
+    Some go to church, proud humbly to repent,
+  And come back much more guilty than they went:
+  One way they look, another way they steer,
+  Pray to the gods, but would have mortals hear;
+  And when their sins they set sincerely down,
+  They'll find that their religion has been one.
+    Others with wishful eyes on glory look,
+  When they have got their picture tow'rds a book;
+  Or pompous title, like a gaudy sign,
+  Meant to betray dull sots to wretched wine.
+  If at his title T---- had dropt his quill,
+  T---- might have pass'd for a great genius still.
+  But T----, alas! (excuse him, if you can)
+  Is now a scribbler, who was once a man.
+  Imperious some a classic fame demand,
+  For heaping up, with a laborious hand,
+  A waggon-load of meanings for one word,
+  While A's deposed, and B with pomp restor'd.
+    Some, for renown, on scraps of learning dote,
+  And think they grow immortal as they quote.
+  To patch-work learn'd quotations are allied;
+  Both strive to make our poverty our pride.
+    On glass how witty is a noble peer!
+  Did ever diamond cost a man so dear?
+    Polite diseases make some idiots vain,
+  Which, if unfortunately well, they feign.
+    Of folly, vice, disease, men proud we see;
+  And (stranger still!) of blockheads' flattery;
+  Whose praise defames; as if a fool should mean,
+  By spitting on your face, to make it clean.
+    Nor is't enough all hearts are swoln with pride,
+  Her power is mighty, as her realm is wide.
+  What can she not perform? The love of fame
+  Made bold Alphonsus his Creator blame:
+  Empedocles hurl'd down the burning steep:
+  And (stronger still!) made Alexander weep.
+  Nay, it holds Delia from a second bed,
+  Tho' her lov'd lord has four half months been dead.
+    This passion with a pimple have I seen
+  Retard a cause, and give a judge the spleen.
+  By this inspir'd (O ne'er to be forgot!)
+  Some lords have learn'd to spell, and some to knot.
+  It makes Globose a speaker in the house;
+  He hems, and is deliver'd of his mouse.
+  It makes dear self on well-bred tongues prevail,
+  And I the little hero of each tale.
+    Sick with the love of fame, what throngs pour in,
+  Unpeople court, and leave the senate thin!
+  My glowing subject seems but just begun,
+  And, chariot-like, I kindle as I run.
+  Aid me, great Homer! with thy epic rules,
+  To take a catalogue of British fools.
+  Satire! had I thy Dorset's force divine,
+  A knave or fool should perish in each line;
+  Tho' for the first all Westminster should plead,
+  And for the last, all Gresham intercede.
+    Begin. Who first the catalogue shall grace?
+  To quality belongs the highest place.
+  My lord comes forward; forward let him come!
+  Ye vulgar! at your peril, give him room:
+  He stands for fame on his forefathers' feet,
+  By heraldry prov'd valiant or discreet.
+  With what a decent pride he throws his eyes
+  Above the man by three descents less wise!
+  If virtues at his noble hands you crave,
+  You bid him raise his fathers from the grave.
+  Men should press forward in fame's glorious chase;
+  Nobles look backward, and so lose the race.
+    Let high birth triumph! What can be more great?
+  Nothing--but merit in a low estate.
+  To virtue's humblest son let none prefer
+  Vice, though descended from the conqueror.
+  Shall men, like figures, pass for high, or base,
+  Slight, or important, only by their place?
+  Titles are marks of honest men, and wise;
+  The fool, or knave, that wears a title, lies.
+    They that on glorious ancestors enlarge,
+  Produce their debt, instead of their discharge.
+  Dorset, let those who proudly boast their line,
+  Like thee, in worth hereditary, shine.
+  Vain as false greatness is, the muse must own
+  We want not fools to buy that Bristol stone;
+  Mean sons of earth, who, on a south-sea tide
+  Of full success, swarm into wealth and pride;
+  Knock with a purse of gold at Anstis' gate,
+  And beg to be descended from the great.
+    When men of infamy to grandeur soar,
+  They light a torch to show their shame the more.
+  Those governments which curb not evils, cause!
+  And a rich knave's a libel on our laws.
+    Belus with solid glory will be crown'd;
+  He buys no phantom, no vain empty sound;
+  But builds himself a name; and, to be great,
+  Sinks in a quarry an immense estate!
+  In cost and grandeur, Chandos he'll outdo;
+  And Burlington, thy taste is not so true.
+  The pile is finish'd! ev'ry toil is past;
+  And full perfection is arriv'd at last;
+  When, lo! my lord to some small corner runs,
+  And leaves state-rooms to strangers and to duns.
+    The man who builds, and wants wherewith to pay,
+  Provides a home from which to run away.
+  In Britain, what is many a lordly seat,
+  But a discharge in full for an estate?
+    In smaller compass lies Pygmalion's fame;
+  Not domes, but antique statues, are his flame:
+  Not Fountaine's self more Parian charms has known,
+  Nor is good Pembroke more in love with stone.
+  The bailiffs come (rude men profanely bold!)
+  And bid him turn his Venus into gold.
+  "No, sirs," he cries; "I'll sooner rot in jail;
+  Shall Grecian arts be truck'd for English bail?"
+  Such heads might make their very busto's laugh:
+  His daughter starves; but(7) Cleopatra's safe.
+    Men, overloaded with a large estate,
+  May spill their treasure in a nice conceit:
+  The rich may be polite; but, oh! 'tis sad
+  To say you're curious, when we swear you're mad.
+  By your revenue measure your expense;
+  And to your funds and acres join your sense.
+  No man is bless'd by accident or guess;
+  True wisdom is the price of happiness:
+  Yet few without long discipline are sage;
+  And our youth only lays up sighs for age.
+  But how, my muse, canst thou resist so long
+  The bright temptation of the courtly throng,
+  Thy most inviting theme? The court affords
+  Much food for satire;--it abounds in lords.
+  "What lords are those saluting with a grin?"
+  One is just out, and one as lately in.
+  "How comes it then to pass we see preside
+  On both their brows an equal share of pride?"
+  Pride, that impartial passion, reigns through all,
+  Attends our glory, nor deserts our fall.
+  As in its home it triumphs in high place,
+  And frowns a haughty exile in disgrace.
+  Some lords it bids admire their wands so white,
+  Which bloom, like Aaron's, to their ravish'd sight:
+  Some lords it bids resign; and turn their wands,
+  Like Moses', into serpents in their hands.
+  These sink, as divers, for renown; and boast,
+  With pride inverted, of their honours lost.
+  But against reason sure 'tis equal sin,
+  To boast of merely being out, or in.
+    What numbers here, through odd ambition, strive
+  To seem the most transported things alive!
+  As if by joy, desert was understood;
+  And all the fortunate were wise and good.
+  Hence aching bosoms wear a visage gay,
+  And stifled groans frequent the ball and play.
+  Completely drest by(8) Monteuil, and grimace,
+  They take their birth-day suit, and public face:
+  Their smiles are only part of what they wear,
+  Put off at night, with Lady B----'s hair.
+  What bodily fatigue is half so bad?
+  With anxious care they labour to be glad.
+    What numbers, here, would into fame advance,
+  Conscious of merit, in the coxcomb's dance;
+  The tavern! park! assembly! mask! and play!
+  Those dear destroyers of the tedious day!
+  That wheel of fops! that saunter of the town!
+  Call it diversion, and the pill goes down.
+  Fools grin on fools, and, stoic-like, support,
+  Without one sigh, the pleasures of a court.
+  Courts can give nothing, to the wise and good,
+  But scorn of pomp, and love of solitude.
+  High stations tumult, but not bliss, create:
+  None think the great unhappy, but the great:
+  Fools gaze, and envy; envy darts a sting,
+  Which makes a swain as wretched as a king.
+    I envy none their pageantry and show;
+  I envy none the gilding of their woe.
+  Give me, indulgent gods! with mind serene,
+  And guiltless heart, to range the sylvan scene;
+  No splendid poverty, no smiling care,
+  No well-bred hate, or servile grandeur, there:
+  There pleasing objects useful thought suggest;
+  The sense is ravish'd, and the soul is blest;
+  On every thorn delightful wisdom grows;
+  In every rill a sweet instruction flows.
+  But some, untaught, o'erhear the whisp'ring rill,
+  In spite of sacred leisure, blockheads still;
+  Nor shoots up folly to a nobler bloom
+  In her own native soil, the drawing-room.
+    The squire is proud to see his coursers strain,
+  Or well-breath'd beagles sweep along the plain.
+  Say, dear Hippolitus, (whose drink is ale,
+  Whose erudition is a Christmas tale,
+  Whose mistress is saluted with a smack,
+  And friend receiv'd with thumps upon the back,)
+  When thy sleek gelding nimbly leaps the mound,
+  And Ringwood opens on the tainted ground,
+  Is that thy praise? Let Ringwood's fame alone;
+  Just Ringwood leaves each animal his own;
+  Nor envies, when a gipsy you commit,
+  And shake the clumsy bench with country wit;
+  When you the dullest of dull things have said,
+  And then ask pardon for the jest you made.
+    Here breathe, my muse! and then thy task renew:
+  Ten thousand fools unsung are still in view.
+  Fewer lay-atheists made by church debates;
+  Fewer great beggars fam'd for large estates;
+  Ladies, whose love is constant as the wind;
+  Cits, who prefer a guinea to mankind;
+  Fewer grave lords to Scrope discreetly bend;
+  And fewer shocks a statesman gives his friend.
+    Is there a man of an eternal vein,
+  Who lulls the town in winter with his strain,
+  At Bath, in summer, chants the reigning lass,
+  And sweetly whistles, as the waters pass?
+  Is there a tongue, like Delia's o'er her cup,
+  That runs for ages without winding up?
+  Is there, whom his tenth epic mounts to fame?
+  Such, and such only, might exhaust my theme:
+  Nor would these heroes of the task be glad;
+  For who can write so fast as men run mad?
+
+
+
+
+                                Satire II
+
+
+  My muse, proceed, and reach thy destin'd end;
+  Though toils and danger the bold task attend.
+  Heroes and gods make other poems fine;
+  Plain satire calls for sense in every line:
+  Then, to what swarms thy faults I dare expose!
+  All friends to vice and folly are thy foes.
+  When such the foe, a war eternal wage;
+  'Tis most ill-nature to repress thy rage:
+  And if these strains some nobler muse excite,
+  I'll glory in the verse I did not write.
+    So weak are human kind by nature made,
+  Or to such weakness by their vice betray'd,
+  Almighty vanity! to thee they owe
+  Their zest of pleasure, and their balm of woe.
+  Thou, like the sun, all colours dost contain,
+  Varying, like rays of light, on drops of rain.
+  For every soul finds reasons to be proud,
+  Tho' hiss'd and hooted by the pointing crowd.
+    Warm in pursuit of foxes, and renown,
+  (9)Hippolitus demands the sylvan crown;
+  But Florio's fame, the product of a shower,
+  Grows in his garden, an illustrious flower!
+  Why teems the earth? Why melt the vernal skies?
+  Why shines the sun? To make(10) Paul Diack rise.
+  From morn to night has Florio gazing stood,
+  And wonder'd how the gods could be so good;
+  What shape! what hue! was ever nymph so fair!
+  He dotes! he dies! he too is rooted there.
+  O solid bliss! which nothing can destroy,
+  Except a cat, bird, snail, or idle boy.
+  In fame's full bloom lies Florio down at night,
+  And wakes next day a most inglorious wight;
+  The tulip's dead! See thy fair sister's fate,
+  O C----! and be kind ere 'tis too late.
+    Nor are those enemies I mention'd, all;
+  Beware, O florist, thy ambition's fall.
+  A friend of mine indulg'd this noble flame;
+  A quaker serv'd him, Adam was his name;
+  To one lov'd tulip oft the master went,
+  Hung o'er it, and whole days in rapture spent;
+  But came, and miss'd it, one ill-fated hour:
+  He rag'd! he roar'd! "What demon cropt my flower?"
+  Serene, quoth Adam, "Lo! 'twas crusht by me;
+  Fall'n is the Baal to which thou bow'dst thy knee."
+    But all men want amusement; and what crime
+  In such a paradise to fool their time?
+  None: but why proud of this? to fame they soar;
+  We grant they're idle, if they'll ask no more.
+    We smile at florists, we despise their joy,
+  And think their hearts enamour'd of a toy:
+  But are those wiser whom we most admire,
+  Survey with envy, and pursue with fire?
+  What's he who sighs for wealth, or fame, or power?
+  Another Florio doting on a flower;
+  A short liv'd flower; and which has often sprung
+  From sordid arts, as Florio's out of dung.
+  With what, O Codrus! is thy fancy smit?
+  The flower of learning, and the bloom of wit.
+  The gaudy shelves with crimson bindings glow,
+  And Epictetus is a perfect beau.
+  How fit for thee! bound up in crimson too,
+  Gilt, and, like them, devoted to the view!
+  Thy books are furniture. Methinks 'tis hard
+  That science should be purchas'd by the yard;
+  And Tonson, turn'd upholsterer, send home
+  The gilded leather to fit up thy room.
+    If not to some peculiar end design'd,
+  Study's the specious trifling of the mind;
+  Or is at best a secondary aim,
+  A chase for sport alone, and not for game.
+  If so, sure they who the mere volume prize,
+  But love the thicket where the quarry lies.
+    On buying books Lorenzo long was bent,
+  But found at length that it reduc'd his rent;
+  His farms were flown; when, lo! a sale comes on,
+  A choice collection! what is to be done?
+  He sells his last; for he the whole will buy;
+  Sells ev'n his house; nay, wants whereon to lie:
+  So high the gen'rous ardour of the man
+  For Romans, Greeks, and Orientals ran.
+  When terms were drawn, and brought him by the clerk,
+  Lorenzo sign'd the bargain--with his mark.
+  Unlearned men of books assume the care,
+  As eunuchs are the guardians of the fair.
+    Not in his authors' liveries alone
+  Is Codrus' erudite ambition shown:
+  Editions various, at high prices bought,
+  Inform the world what Codrus would be thought;
+  And to his cost another must succeed
+  To pay a sage, who says that he can read;
+  Who titles knows, and indexes has seen;
+  But leaves to Chesterfield what lies between;
+  Of pompous books who shuns the proud expense,
+  And humbly is contented with their sense.
+    O Stanhope, whose accomplishments make good
+  The promise of a long illustrious blood,
+  In arts and manners eminently grac'd,
+  The strictest honour! and the finest taste!
+  Accept this verse; if satire can agree
+  With so consummate a humanity.
+    By your example would Hilario mend,
+  How would it grace the talents of my friend,
+  Who, with the charms of his own genius smit,
+  Conceives all virtues are compris'd in wit!
+  But time his fervent petulance may cool;
+  For though he is a wit, he is no fool.
+  In time he'll learn to use, not waste, his sense;
+  Nor make a frailty of an excellence.
+  He spares nor friend, nor foe; but calls to mind,
+  Like doomsday, all the faults of all mankind.
+    What though wit tickles? tickling is unsafe,
+  If still 'tis painful while it makes us laugh.
+  Who, for the poor renown of being smart,
+  Would leave a sting within a brother's heart?
+    Parts may be prais'd, good-nature is ador'd;
+  Then draw your wit as seldom as your sword;
+  And never on the weak; or you'll appear
+  As there no hero, no great genius here.
+  As in smooth oil the razor best is whet,
+  So wit is by politeness sharpest set:
+  Their want of edge from their offence is seen;
+  Both pain us least when exquisitely keen.
+  The fame men give is for the joy they find;
+  Dull is the jester, when the joke's unkind.
+    Since Marcus, doubtless, thinks himself a wit,
+  To pay my compliment, what place so fit?
+  His most facetious(11)letters came to hand,
+  Which my first satire sweetly reprimand:
+  If that a just offence to Marcus gave,
+  Say, Marcus, which art thou, a fool, or knave?
+  For all but such with caution I forbore;
+  That thou wast either, I ne'er knew before:
+  I know thee now, both what thou art, and who;
+  No mask so good, but Marcus must shine through:
+  False names are vain, thy lines their author tell;
+  Thy best concealment had been writing well:
+  But thou a brave neglect of fame hast shown,
+  Of others' fame, great genius! and thy own.
+  Write on unheeded; and this maxim know,
+  The man who pardons, disappoints his foe.
+    In malice to proud wits, some proudly lull
+  Their peevish reason; vain of being dull;
+  When some home joke has stung their solemn souls,
+  In vengeance they determine to be fools;
+  Through spleen, that little nature gave, make less,
+  Quite zealous in the way of heaviness;
+  To lumps inanimate a fondness take;
+  And disinherit sons that are awake.
+  These, when their utmost venom they would spit,
+  Most barbarously tell you--"He's a wit."
+  Poor negroes, thus, to show their burning spite
+  To cacodemons, say, they're dev'lish white.
+    Lampridius, from the bottom of his breast,
+  Sighs o'er one child; but triumphs in the rest.
+  How just his grief! one carries in his head
+  A less proportion of the father's lead;
+  And is in danger, without special grace,
+  To rise above a justice of the peace.
+  The dunghill breed of men a diamond scorn,
+  And feel a passion for a grain of corn;
+  Some stupid, plodding, monkey-loving wight,
+  Who wins their hearts by knowing black from white,
+  Who with much pains, exerting all his sense,
+  Can range aright his shillings, pounds, and pence.
+    The booby father craves a booby son;
+  And by heaven's blessing thinks himself undone.
+    Wants of all kinds are made to fame a plea;
+  One learns to lisp; another not to see:
+  Miss D----, tottering, catches at your hand:
+  Was ever thing so pretty born to stand?
+  Whilst these, what nature gave, disown, through pride,
+  Others affect what nature has denied;
+  What nature has denied, fools will pursue,
+  As apes are ever walking upon two.
+    Crassus, a grateful sage, our awe and sport!
+  Supports grave forms; for forms the sage support.
+  He hems; and cries, with an important air,
+  "If yonder clouds withdraw it will be fair:"
+  Then quotes the Stagyrite, to prove it true;
+  And adds, "The learn'd delight in something new."
+  Is't not enough the blockhead scarce can read,
+  But must he wisely look, and gravely plead?
+  As far a formalist from wisdom sits,
+  In judging eyes, as libertines from wits.
+    These subtle wights (so blind are mortal men,
+  Though satire couch them with her keenest pen)
+  For ever will hang out a solemn face,
+  To put off nonsense with a better grace:
+  As pedlers with some hero's head make bold,
+  Illustrious mark! where pins are to be sold.
+  What's the bent brow, or neck in thought reclin'd?
+  The body's wisdom to conceal the mind.
+  A man of sense can artifice disdain;
+  As men of wealth may venture to go plain;
+  And be this truth eternal ne'er forgot,
+  Solemnity's a cover for a sot.
+  I find the fool, when I behold the screen;
+  For 'tis the wise man's interest to be seen.
+    Hence, Chesterfield, that openness of heart,
+  And just disdain for that poor mimic art;
+  Hence (manly praise!) that manner nobly free,
+  Which all admire, and I commend, in thee.
+  With generous scorn how oft hast thou survey'd
+  Of court and town the noontide masquerade;
+  Where swarms of knaves the vizor quite disgrace,
+  And hide secure behind a naked face?
+  Where nature's end of language is declin'd,
+  And men talk only to conceal the mind;
+  Where gen'rous hearts the greatest hazard run,
+  And he who trusts a brother, is undone?
+    These all their care expend on outward show
+  For wealth and fame; for fame alone, the beau.
+  Of late at White's was young Florello seen!
+  How blank his look! how discompos'd his mien!
+  So hard it proves in grief sincere to feign!
+  Sunk were his spirits; for his coat was plain.
+    Next day his breast regain'd its wonted peace;
+  His health was mended with a silver lace.
+  A curious artist, long inur'd to toils
+  Of gentler sort, with combs, and fragrant oils,
+  Whether by chance, or by some god inspir'd,
+  So touch'd his curls, his mighty soul was fir'd.
+  The well swoln ties an equal homage claim,
+  And either shoulder has its share of fame;
+  His sumptuous watch-case, tho' conceal'd it lies,
+  Like a good conscience, solid joy supplies.
+  He only thinks himself (so far from vain!)
+  Stanhope in wit, in breeding Deloraine.
+  Whene'er, by seeming chance, he throws his eye
+  On mirrors that reflect his Tyrian dye,
+  With how sublime a transport leaps his heart!
+  But fate ordains that dearest friends must part.
+  In active measures, brought from France, he wheels,
+  And triumphs, conscious of his learned heels.
+    So have I seen, on some bright summer's day,
+  A calf of genius, debonnair and gay,
+  Dance on the bank, as if inspir'd by fame,
+  Fond of the pretty fellow in the stream.
+    Morose is sunk with shame, whene'er surpris'd
+  In linen clean, or peruke undisguis'd.
+  No sublunary chance his vestments fear;
+  Valu'd, like leopards, as their spots appear.
+  A fam'd surtout he wears, which once was blue,
+  And his foot swims in a capacious shoe;
+  One day his wife (for who can wives reclaim?)
+  Levell'd her barb'rous needle at his fame:
+  But open force was vain; by night she went,
+  And while he slept, surpris'd the darling rent:
+  Where yawn'd the frieze is now become a doubt;
+  And glory, at one entrance, quite shut out.(12)
+    He scorns Florello, and Florello him;
+  This hates the filthy creature; that, the prim:
+  Thus, in each other, both these fools despise
+  Their own dear selves, with undiscerning eyes;
+  Their methods various, but alike their aim;
+  The sloven and the fopling are the same.
+    Ye whigs and tories! thus it fares with you,
+  When party rage too warmly you pursue;
+  Then both club nonsense, and impetuous pride,
+  And folly joins whom sentiments divide.
+  You vent your spleen, as monkeys, when they pass,
+  Scratch at the mimic monkey in the glass;
+  While both are one: and henceforth be it known,
+  Fools of both sides shall stand for fools alone.
+    "But who art thou?" methinks Florello cries;
+  "Of all thy species art thou only wise?"
+  Since smallest things can give our sins a twitch,
+  As crossing straws retard a passing witch,
+  Florello, thou my monitor shalt be;
+  I'll conjure thus some profit out of thee.
+  O thou myself! abroad our counsels roam,
+  And, like ill husbands, take no care at home:
+  Thou too art wounded with the common dart,
+  And love of fame lies throbbing at thy heart;
+  And what wise means to gain it hast thou chose?
+  Know, fame and fortune both are made of prose.
+  Is thy ambition sweating for a rhyme,
+  Thou unambitious fool, at this late time?
+  While I a moment name, a moment's past;
+  I'm nearer death in this verse, than the last:
+  What then is to be done? Be wise with speed;
+  A fool at forty is a fool indeed.
+    And what so foolish as the chance of fame?
+  How vain the prize! how impotent our aim!
+  For what are men who grasp at praise sublime,
+  But bubbles on the rapid stream of time,
+  That rise, and fall, that swell, and are no more,
+  Born, and forgot, ten thousand in an hour?
+

+                               Satire III.
+
+
+                  To the Right Honorable Mr. Dodington.
+
+
+  Long, Dodington, in debt, I long have sought
+  To ease the burthen of my grateful thought;
+  And now a poet's gratitude you see;
+  Grant him two favours, and he'll ask for three:
+  For whose the present glory, or the gain?
+  You give protection, I a worthless strain.
+  You love and feel the poet's sacred flame;
+  And know the basis of a solid fame;
+  Tho' prone to like, yet cautious to commend,
+  You read with all the malice of a friend;
+  Nor favour my attempts that way alone,
+  But, more to raise my verse, conceal your own.
+    An ill-tim'd modesty! turn ages o'er,
+  When wanted Britain bright examples more?
+  Her learning, and her genius too, decays,
+  And dark and cold are her declining days;
+  As if men now were of another cast,
+  They meanly live on alms of ages past.
+  Men still are men; and they who boldly dare,
+  Shall triumph o'er the sons of cold despair;
+  Or, if they fail, they justly still take place
+  Of such who run in debt for their disgrace;
+  Who borrow much, then fairly make it known,
+  And damn it with improvements of their own.
+  We bring some new materials, and what's old
+  New cast with care, and in no borrow'd mould;
+  Late times the verse may read, if these refuse;
+  And from sour critics vindicate the muse.
+    "Your work is long," the critics cry. "Tis true,
+  And lengthens still, to take in fools like you:
+  Shorten my labour, if its length you blame;
+  For, grow but wise, you rob me of my game;
+  As hunted hags, who, while the dogs pursue,
+  Renounce their four legs, and start up on two.
+    Like the bold bird upon the banks of Nile,
+  That picks the teeth of the dire crocodile,
+  Will I enjoy, (dread feast!) the critic's rage,
+  And with the fell destroyer feed my page.
+  For what ambitious fools are more to blame,
+  Than those who thunder in the critic's name?
+  Good authors damn'd, have their revenge in this,
+  To see what wretches gain the praise they miss.
+    Balbutius, muffled in his sable cloak,
+  Like an old Druid from his hollow oak,
+  As ravens solemn, and as boding, cries,
+  "Ten thousand worlds for the three unities!"
+  Ye doctors sage, who thro' Parnassus teach,
+  Or quit the tub, or practise what you preach.
+    One judges as the weather dictates; right
+  The poem is at noon, and wrong at night:
+  Another judges by a surer gage,
+  An author's principles, or parentage;
+  Since his great ancestors in Flanders fell,
+  The poem doubtless must be written well.
+  Another judges by the writer's look;
+  Another judges, for he bought the book;
+  Some judge, their knack of judging wrong to keep;
+  Some judge, because it is too soon to sleep.
+    Thus all will judge, and with one single aim,
+  To gain themselves, not give the writer, fame.
+  The very best ambitiously advise,
+  Half to serve you, and half to pass for wise.
+    Critics on verse, as squibs on triumphs wait,
+  Proclaim the glory, and augment the state;
+  Hot, envious, noisy, proud, the scribbling fry
+  Burn, hiss, and bounce, waste paper, stink, and die.
+  Rail on, my friends! what more my verse can crown
+  Than Compton's smile, and your obliging frown?
+    Not all on books their criticism waste:
+  The genius of a dish some justly taste,
+  And eat their way to fame; with anxious thought
+  The salmon is refus'd, the turbot bought.
+  Impatient art rebukes the sun's delay,
+  And bids December yield the fruits of May;
+  Their various cares in one great point combine
+  The business of their lives, that is--to dine.
+  Half of their precious day they give the feast;
+  And to a kind digestion spare the rest.
+  Apicius, here, the taster of the town,
+  Feeds twice a week, to settle their renown.
+    These worthies of the palate guard with care
+  The sacred annals of their bills of fare;
+  In those choice books their panegyrics read,
+  And scorn the creatures that for hunger feed.
+  If man by feeding well commences great,
+  Much more the worm to whom that man is meat.
+  To glory some advance a lying claim,
+  Thieves of renown, and pilferers of fame:
+  Their front supplies what their ambition lacks;
+  They know a thousand lords, behind their backs.
+  Cottil is apt to wink upon a peer,
+  When turn'd away, with a familiar leer;
+  And Harvey's eyes, unmercifully keen,
+  Have murder'd fops, by whom she ne'er was seen.
+  Niger adopts stray libels; wisely prone
+  To covet shame still greater than his own.
+  Bathyllus, in the winter of threescore,
+  Belies his innocence, and keeps a whore.
+  Absence of mind Brabantio turns to fame,
+  Learns to mistake, nor knows his brother's name;
+  Has words and thoughts in nice disorder set,
+  And takes a memorandum to forget.
+  Thus vain, not knowing what adorns, or blots,
+  Men forge the patents, that create them sots.
+    As love of pleasure into pain betrays,
+  So most grow infamous thro' love of praise.
+  But whence for praise can such an ardour rise,
+  When those, who bring that incense, we despise?
+  For such the vanity of great and small,
+  Contempt goes round, and all men laugh at all.
+    Nor can ev'n satire blame them; for, 'tis true,
+  They have most ample cause for what they do.
+  O fruitful Britain! doubtless thou wast meant
+  A nurse of fools, to stock the continent.
+  Tho' Phoebus and the Nine for ever mow,
+  Rank folly underneath the scythe will grow.
+  The plenteous harvest calls me forward still,
+  Till I surpass in length my lawyer's bill;
+  A Welsh descent, which well paid heralds damn;
+  Or, longer still, a Dutchman's epigram.
+  When, cloy'd, in fury I throw down my pen,
+  In comes a coxcomb, and I write again.
+    See Tityrus, with merriment possest,
+  Is burst with laughter, ere he hears the jest:
+  What need he stay? for when the joke is o'er,
+  His teeth will be no whiter than before.
+  Is there of these, ye fair! so great a dearth,
+  That you need purchase monkeys for your mirth?
+    Some, vain of paintings, bid the world admire;
+  Of houses some; nay, houses that they hire:
+  Some (perfect wisdom!) of a beauteous wife;
+  And boast, like Cordeliers, a scourge for life.
+    Sometimes, thro' pride, the sexes change their airs;
+  My lord has vapours, and my lady swears;
+  Then, stranger still! on turning of the wind,
+  My lord wears breeches, and my lady's kind.
+    To show the strength, and infamy of pride,
+  By all 'tis follow'd, and by all denied.
+  What numbers are there, which at once pursue
+  Praise, and the glory to contemn it, too!
+  Vincenna knows self-praise betrays to shame,
+  And therefore lays a stratagem for fame;
+  Makes his approach in modesty's disguise,
+  To win applause; and takes it by surprise.
+  "To err," says he, "in small things, is my fate."
+  You know your answer, he's exact in great.
+  "My style," says he, "is rude and full of faults."
+  But oh! what sense! what energy of thoughts!
+  That he wants algebra, he must confess;
+  But not a soul to give our arms success.
+  "Ah; that's a hit indeed," Vincenna cries;
+  "But who in heat of blood was ever wise?
+  I own 'twas wrong, when thousands call'd me back,
+  To make that hopeless, ill-advis'd attack;
+  All say, 'twas madness; nor dare I deny;
+  Sure never fool so well deserv'd to die."
+  Could this deceive in others, to be free,
+  It ne'er, Vincenna, could deceive in thee;
+  Whose conduct is a comment to thy tongue,
+  So clear, the dullest cannot take thee wrong.
+  Thou on one sleeve wilt thy revenues wear;
+  And haunt the court, without a prospect there.
+  Are these expedients for renown? Confess
+  Thy little self, that I may scorn thee less.
+    Be wise, Vincenna, and the court forsake;
+  Our fortunes there, nor thou, nor I, shall make.
+  Ev'n men of merit, ere their point they gain,
+  In hardy service make a long campaign;
+  Most manfully besiege their patron's gate,
+  And oft repuls'd, as oft attack the great
+  With painful art, and application warm,
+  And take, at last, some little place by storm;
+  Enough to keep two shoes on Sunday clean,
+  And starve upon discreetly, in Sheer Lane.
+  Already this thy fortune can afford;
+  Then starve without the favour of my lord.
+  'Tis true, great fortunes some great men confer;
+  But often, ev'n in doing right, they err:
+  From caprice, not from choice, their favours come;
+  They give, but think it toil to know to whom:
+  The man that's nearest, yawning, they advance:
+  'Tis inhumanity to bless by chance.
+  If merit sues, and greatness is so loth
+  To break its downy trance, I pity both.
+    I grant at court, Philander, at his need,
+  (Thanks to his lovely wife) finds friends indeed.
+  Of every charm and virtue she's possest:
+  Philander! thou art exquisitely blest;
+  The public envy! Now then, 'tis allow'd,
+  The man is found, who may be justly proud:
+  But, see! how sickly is ambition's taste!
+  Ambition feeds on trash, and loaths a feast;
+  For, lo! Philander, of reproach afraid,
+  In secret loves his wife, but keeps her maid.
+    Some nymphs sell reputation; others buy;
+  And love a market where the rates run high:
+  Italian music's sweet, because 'tis dear;
+  Their vanity is tickled, not their ear:
+  Their taste would lessen, if the prices fell,
+  And Shakespeare's wretched stuff do quite as well;
+  Away the disenchanted fair would throng,
+  And own that English is their mother tongue.
+    To show how much our northern tastes refine,
+  Imported nymphs our peeresses outshine;
+  While tradesmen starve, these Philomels are gay;
+  For generous lords had rather give than pay.
+    Behold the masquerade's fantastic scene!
+  The legislature join'd with Drury Lane!
+  When Britain calls, th' embroider'd patriots run,
+  And serve their country--if the dance is done.
+  "Are we not then allow'd to be polite?"
+  Yes, doubtless; but first set your notions right.
+  Worth, of politeness, is the needful ground;
+  Where that is wanting, this can ne'er be found.
+  Triflers not e'en in trifles can excel;
+  'Tis solid bodies only polish well.
+    Great, chosen prophet! For these latter days,
+  To turn a willing world from righteous ways!
+  Well, Heydegger, dost thou thy master serve;
+  Well has he seen his servant should not starve.
+  Thou to his name hast splendid temples rais'd;
+  In various forms of worship seen him prais'd,
+  Gaudy devotion, like a Roman, shown,
+  And sung sweet anthems in a tongue unknown.
+  Inferior off'rings to thy god of vice
+  Are duly paid, in fiddles, cards, and dice;
+  Thy sacrifice supreme, a hundred maids!
+  That solemn rite of midnight masquerades!
+  If maids the quite exhausted town denies,
+  A hundred heads of cuckolds may suffice.
+  Thou smil'st, well pleas'd with the converted land,
+  To see the fifty churches at a stand.
+  And that thy minister may never fail,
+  But what thy hand has planted still prevail,
+  Of minor prophets a succession sure
+  The propagation of thy zeal secure.
+    See commons, peers, and ministers of state,
+  In solemn council met, and deep debate!
+  What godlike enterprise is taking birth?
+  What wonder opens on th' expecting earth?
+  'Tis done! with loud applause the council rings!
+  Fix'd is the fate of whores and fiddle-strings!
+    Tho' bold these truths, thou, muse, with truths like these,
+  Wilt none offend, whom 'tis a praise to please:
+  Let others flatter to be flatter'd, thou,
+  Like just tribunals, bend an awful brow.
+  How terrible it were to common sense,
+  To write a satire, which gave none offence!
+  And, since from life I take the draughts you see,
+  If men dislike them, do they censure me?
+  The fool, and knave, 'tis glorious to offend,
+  And godlike an attempt the world to mend;
+  The world, where lucky throws to blockheads fall,
+  Knaves know the game, and honest men pay all.
+    How hard for real worth to gain its price!
+  A man shall make his fortune in a trice,
+  If blest with pliant, tho' but slender, sense,
+  Feign'd modesty, and real impudence:
+  A supple knee, smooth tongue, an easy grace,
+  A curse within, a smile upon his face;
+  A beauteous sister, or convenient wife,
+  Are prizes in the lottery of life;
+  Genius and virtue they will soon defeat,
+  And lodge you in the bosom of the great.
+  To merit, is but to provide a pain
+  For men's refusing what you ought to gain.
+    May, Dodington, this maxim fail in you,
+  Whom my presaging thoughts already view
+  By Walpole's conduct fir'd, and friendship grac'd,
+  Still higher in your prince's favour plac'd;
+  And lending, here, those awful councils aid,
+  Which you, abroad, with such success obey'd:
+  Bear this from one, who holds your friendship dear;
+  What most we wish, with ease we fancy near.
+
+
+
+
+                                Satire IV.
+
+
+               To the Right Honourable Sir Spencer Compton.
+
+
+  Round some fair tree th' ambitious woodbine grows,
+  And breathes her sweets on the supporting boughs;
+  So sweet the verse, th' ambitious verse, should be,
+  (O! pardon mine) that hopes support from thee;
+  Thee, Compton, born o'er senates to preside,
+  Their dignity to raise, their councils guide;
+  Deep to discern, and widely to survey,
+  And kingdoms' fates, without ambition, weigh;
+  Of distant virtues nice extremes to blend,
+  The crown's asserter, and the people's friend:
+  Nor dost thou scorn, amid sublimer views,
+  To listen to the labours of the muse;
+  Thy smiles protect her, while thy talents fire,
+  And 'tis but half thy glory to inspire.
+  Vex'd at a public fame, so justly won,
+  The jealous Chremes is with spleen undone;
+  Chremes, for airy pensions of renown,
+  Devotes his service to the state and crown;
+  All schemes he knows, and, knowing, all improves,
+  Tho' Britain's thankless, still this patriot loves:
+  But patriots differ; some may shed their blood,
+  He drinks his coffee, for the public good;
+  Consults the sacred steam, and there foresees
+  What storms, or sunshine, Providence decrees;
+  Knows, for each day, the weather of our fate;
+  A quid nunc is an almanack of state.
+    You smile, and think this statesman void of use:
+  Why may not time his secret worth produce?
+  Since apes can roast the choice Castanian nut,
+  Since steeds of genius are expert at put;
+  Since half the senate not content can say,
+  Geese nations save, and puppies plots betray.
+    What makes him model realms, and counsel kings?
+  An incapacity for smaller things:
+  Poor Chremes can't conduct his own estate,
+  And thence has undertaken Europe's fate.
+    Gehenno leaves the realm to Chremes' skill,
+  And boldly claims a province higher still:
+  To raise a name, th' ambitious boy has got,
+  At once, a Bible, and a shoulder-knot;
+  Deep in the secret, he looks thro' the whole,
+  And pities the dull rogue that saves his soul;
+  To talk with rev'rence you must take good heed,
+  Nor shock his tender reason with the creed:
+  Howe'er well bred, in public he complies,
+  Obliging friends alone with blasphemies.
+    Peerage is poison, good estates are bad
+  For this disease; poor rogues run seldom mad.
+  Have not attainders brought unhop'd relief,
+  And falling stocks quite cur'd an unbelief?
+  While the sun shines, Blunt talks with wondrous force;
+  But thunder mars small beer, and weak discourse.
+  Such useful instruments the weather show,
+  Just as their mercury is high or low:
+  Health chiefly keeps an atheist in the dark;
+  A fever argues better than a Clarke:
+  Let but the logic in his pulse decay,
+  The Grecian he'll renounce, and learn to pray,
+  While C---- mourns, with an unfeign'd zeal,
+  Th' apostate youth, who reason'd once so well.
+    C----, who makes so merry with the creed;
+  He almost thinks he disbelieves indeed;
+  But only thinks so; to give both their due,
+  Satan, and he, believe, and tremble too.
+  Of some for glory such the boundless rage,
+  That they're the blackest scandal of their age.
+    Narcissus the Tartarian club disclaims;
+  Nay, a free-mason, with some terror, names;
+  Omits no duty; nor can envy say,
+  He miss'd, these many years, the church, or play:
+  He makes no noise in parliament, 'tis true;
+  But pays his debts, and visit, when 'tis due;
+  His character and gloves are ever clean,
+  And then, he can out-bow the bowing dean;
+  A smile eternal on his lip he wears,
+  Which equally the wise and worthless shares.
+  In gay fatigues, this most undaunted chief,
+  Patient of idleness beyond belief,
+  Most charitably lends the town his face,
+  For ornament, in ev'ry public place;
+  As sure as cards, he to th' assembly comes,
+  And is the furniture of drawing-rooms:
+  When ombre calls, his hand and heart are free,
+  And, join'd to two, he fails not--to make three:
+  Narcissus is the glory of his race;
+  For who does nothing with a better grace?
+    To deck my list, by nature were design'd
+  Such shining expletives of human kind,
+  Who want, while thro' blank life they dream along,
+  Sense to be right, and passion to be wrong.
+    To counterpoise this hero of the mode,
+  Some for renown are singular and odd;
+  What other men dislike, is sure to please,
+  Of all mankind, these dear antipodes;
+  Thro' pride, not malice, they run counter still,
+  And birthdays are their days of dressing ill,
+  Arbuthnot is a fool, and F---- a sage,
+  S--ly will fright you, E---- engage;
+  By nature streams run backward, flame descends,
+  Stones mount, and Sussex is the worst of friends;
+  They take their rest by day, and wake by night,
+  And blush, if you surprise them in the right;
+  If they by chance blurt out, ere well aware,
+  A swan is white, or Queensberry is fair.
+    Nothing exceeds in ridicule, no doubt,
+  A fool in fashion, but a fool that's out,
+  His passion for absurdity's so strong,
+  He cannot bear a rival in the wrong;
+  Tho' wrong the mode, comply; more sense is shown
+  In wearing others' follies, than your own.
+  If what is out of fashion most you prize,
+  Methinks you should endeavour to be wise.
+  But what in oddness can be more sublime
+  Than Sloane, the foremost toyman of his time?
+  His nice ambition lies in curious fancies,
+  His daughter's portion a rich shell inhances,
+  And Ashmole's baby-house is, in his view,
+  Britannia's golden mine, a rich Peru!
+  How his eyes languish! how his thoughts adore
+  That painted coat, which Joseph never wore!
+  He shows, on holidays, a sacred pin,
+  That touch'd the ruff, that touch'd Queen Bess's chin.
+    "Since that great dearth our chronicles deplore,
+  Since that great plague that swept as many more,
+  Was ever year unblest as this?" he'll cry,
+  "It has not brought us one new butterfly!"
+  In times that suffer such learn'd men as these,
+  Unhappy I----y! how came you to please?
+    Not gaudy butterflies are Lico's game;
+  But, in effect, his chase is much the same;
+  Warm in pursuit, he levees all the great,
+  Stanch to the foot of title and estate:
+  Where'er their lordships go, they never find
+  Or Lico, or their shadows, lag behind!
+  He sets them sure, where'er their lordships run,
+  Close at their elbows, as a morning dun;
+  As if their grandeur, by contagion, wrought,
+  And fame was, like a fever, to be caught:
+  But after seven years' dance, from place to place,
+  The(13) Dane is more familiar with his grace.
+    Who'd be a crutch to prop a rotten peer;
+  Or living pendant dangling at his ear,
+  For ever whisp'ring secrets, which were blown
+  For months before, by trumpets, thro' the town?
+  Who'd be a glass, with flattering grimace,
+  Still to reflect the temper of his face;
+  Or happy pin to stick upon his sleeve,
+  When my lord's gracious, and vouchsafes it leave;
+  Or cushion, when his heaviness shall please
+  To loll, or thump it, for his better ease;
+  Or a vile butt, for noon, or night, bespoke,
+  When the peer rashly swears he'll club his joke?
+  Who'd shake with laughter, tho' he could not find
+  His lordship's jest; or, if his nose broke wind,
+  For blessings to the gods profoundly bow,
+  That can cry, chimney sweep, or drive a plough?
+  With terms like these, how mean the tribe that close!
+  Scarce meaner they, who terms like these, impose.
+  But what's the tribe most likely to comply?
+  The men of ink, or ancient authors lie;
+  The writing tribe, who shameless auctions hold
+  Of praise, by inch of candle to be sold:
+  All men they flatter, but themselves the most,
+  With deathless fame, their everlasting boast:
+  For fame no cully makes so much her jest,
+  As her old constant spark, the bard profest.
+  "Boyle shines in council, Mordaunt in the fight,
+  Pelham's magnificent; but I can write,
+  And what to my great soul like glory dear?"
+  Till some god whispers in his tingling ear,
+  That fame's unwholesome taken without meat.
+  And life is best sustain'd by what is eat:
+  Grown lean, and wise, he curses what he writ,
+  And wishes all his wants were in his wit.
+    Ay! what avails it, when his dinner's lost,
+  That his triumphant name adorns a post?
+  Or that his shining page (provoking fate!)
+  Defends sirloins, which sons of dulness eat?
+    What foe to verse without compassion hears,
+  What cruel prose-man can refrain from tears,
+  When the poor muse, for less than half a crown,
+  A prostitute on every bulk in town,
+  With other whores undone, tho' not in print,
+  Clubs credit for Geneva in the mint?
+  Ye bards! why will you sing, tho' uninspir'd?
+  Ye bards! why will you starve, to be admir'd?
+  Defunct by Phoebus' laws, beyond redress,
+  Why will your spectres haunt the frighted press?
+  Bad metre, that excrescence of the head,
+  Like hair, will sprout, altho' the poet's dead.
+    All other trades demand, verse makers beg;
+  A dedication is a wooden leg;
+  A barren Labeo, the true mumper's fashion,
+  Exposes borrow'd brats to move compassion.
+  Tho' such myself, vile bards I discommend;
+  Nay more, tho' gentle Damon is my friend.
+  "Is 't then a crime to write?"--If talent rare
+  Proclaim the god, the crime is to forbear:
+  For some, tho' few, there are large-minded men,
+  Who watch unseen the labours of the pen;
+  Who know the muse's worth, and therefore court,
+  Their deeds her theme, their beauty her support;
+  Who serve, unask'd, the least pretence to wit;
+  My sole excuse, alas! for having writ.
+  Argyll true wit is studious to restore;
+  And Dorset smiles, if Phoebus smil'd before;
+  Pembroke in years the long-lov'd arts admires,
+  And Henrietta like a muse inspires.
+    But, ah! not inspiration can obtain
+  That fame, which poets languish for in vain.
+  How mad their aim, who thirst for glory, strive
+  To grasp, what no man can possess alive!
+  Fame's a reversion in which men take place
+  (O late reversion!) at their own decease.
+  This truth sagacious Lintot knows so well,
+  He starves his authors, that their works may sell.
+    That fame is wealth, fantastic poets cry;
+  That wealth is fame, another clan reply;
+  Who know no guilt, no scandal, but in rags;
+  And swell in just proportion to their bags.
+  Nor only the low-born, deform'd and old,
+  Think glory nothing but the beams of gold;
+  The first young lord, which in the mall you meet,
+  Shall match the veriest huncks in Lombard-street,
+  From rescu'd candles' ends, who rais'd a sum,
+  And starves to join a penny to a plumb.
+  A beardless miser! 'tis a guilt unknown
+  To former times, a scandal all our own.
+    Of ardent lovers, the true modern band
+  Will mortgage Celia to redeem their land.
+  For love, young, noble, rich, Castalio dies:
+  Name but the fair, love swells into his eyes.
+  Divine Monimia, thy fond fears lay down;
+  No rival can prevail,--but half a crown.
+    He glories to late times to be convey'd,
+  Not for the poor he has reliev'd, but made:
+  Not such ambition his great fathers fir'd,
+  When Harry conquer'd, and half France expir'd:
+  He'd be a slave, a pimp, a dog, for gain:
+  Nay, a dull sheriff, for his golden chain.
+    "Who'd be a slave?" the gallant colonel cries,
+  While love of glory sparkles from his eyes:
+  To deathless fame he loudly pleads his right,--
+  Just is his title,--for he will not fight:
+  All soldiers valour, all divines have grace,
+  As maids of honour beauty,--by their place:
+  But, when indulging on the last campaign,
+  His lofty terms climb o'er the hills of slain;
+  He gives the foes he slew, at each vain word,
+  A sweet revenge, and half absolves his sword.
+    Of boasting more than of a bomb afraid,
+  A soldier should be modest as a maid:
+  Fame is a bubble the reserv'd enjoy;
+  Who strive to grasp it, as they touch, destroy:
+  'Tis the world's debt to deeds of high degree;
+  But if you pay yourself, the world is free.
+    Were there no tongue to speak them but his own,
+  Augustus' deeds in arms had ne'er been known.
+  Augustus' deeds! if that ambiguous name
+  Confounds my reader, and misguides his aim,
+  Such is the prince's worth, of whom I speak,
+  The Roman would not blush at the mistake.

+                                Satire V.
+
+
+                                On Women.
+
+
+      O fairest of creation! last and best
+      Of all God's works! Creature in whom excell'd
+      Whatever can to sight, or thought, be form'd!
+      Holy, divine, good, amiable, or sweet!
+      How art thou lost!------
+
+                                                               MILTON.

+
+  Nor reigns ambition in bold man alone;
+  Soft female hearts the rude invader own:
+  But there, indeed, it deals in nicer things,
+  Than routing armies, and dethroning kings:
+  Attend, and you discern it in the fair
+  Conduct a finger, or reclaim a hair;
+  Or roll the lucid orbit of an eye;
+  Or, in full joy, elaborate a sigh.
+    The sex we honour, tho' their faults we blame;
+  Nay, thank their faults for such a fruitful theme:
+  A theme, fair ----! doubly kind to me,
+  Since satirizing those is praising thee;
+  Who wouldst not bear, too modestly refin'd,
+  A panegyric of a grosser kind.
+    Britannia's daughters, much more fair than nice,
+  Too fond of admiration, lose their price;
+  Worn in the public eye, give cheap delight
+  To throngs, and tarnish to the sated sight:
+  As unreserv'd, and beauteous, as the sun,
+  Through every sign of vanity they run;
+  Assemblies, parks, coarse feasts in city-halls,
+  Lectures, and trials, plays, committees, balls,
+  Wells, bedlams, executions, Smithfield scenes,
+  And fortune-tellers' caves, and lions' dens,
+  Taverns, exchanges, bridewells, drawing-rooms,
+  Installments, pillories, coronations, tombs,
+  Tumblers, and funerals, puppet-shows, reviews,
+  Sales, races, rabbits, (and still stranger!) pews.
+    Clarinda's bosom burns, but burns for fame;
+  And love lies vanquished in a nobler flame;
+  Warm gleams of hope she, now, dispenses; then,
+  Like April suns, dives into clouds again:
+  With all her lustre, now, her lover warms;
+  Then, out of ostentation, hides her charms:
+  'Tis, next, her pleasure sweetly to complain,
+  And to be taken with a sudden pain;
+  Then, she starts up, all ecstasy and bliss,
+  And is, sweet soul! just as sincere in this:
+  O how she rolls her charming eyes in spite!
+  And looks delightfully with all her might!
+  But, like our heroes, much more brave than wise,
+  She conquers for the triumph, not the prize.
+    Zara resembles AEtna crown'd with snows;
+  Without she freezes, and within she glows:
+  Twice ere the sun descends, with zeal inspir'd,
+  From the vain converse of the world retir'd,
+  She reads the psalms and chapters for the day,
+  In ---- Cleopatra, or the last new play.
+  Thus gloomy Zara, with a solemn grace,
+  Deceives mankind, and hides behind her face.
+    Nor far beneath her in renown, is she,
+  Who, through good breeding, is ill company;
+  Whose manners will not let her larum cease,
+  Who thinks you are unhappy, when at peace;
+  To find you news, who racks her subtle head,
+  And vows--that her great-grandfather is dead.
+    A dearth of words a woman need not fear,
+  But 'tis a task indeed to learn--to hear:
+  In that the skill of conversation lies;
+  That shows, or makes, you both polite and wise.
+    Xantippe cries, "Let nymphs, who nought can say,
+  Be lost in silence, and resign the day;
+  And let the guilty wife her guilt confess,
+  By tame behaviour, and a soft address;"
+  Through virtue, she refuses to comply
+  With all the dictates of humanity;
+  Through wisdom, she refuses to submit
+  To wisdom's rules, and raves to prove her wit;
+  Then, her unblemish'd honour to maintain,
+  Rejects her husband's kindness with disdain:
+  But if, by chance, an ill-adapted word
+  Drops from the lip of her unwary lord,
+  Her darling china, in a whirlwind sent,
+  Just intimates the lady's discontent.
+    Wine may indeed excite the meekest dame;
+  But keen Xantippe, scorning borrow'd flame,
+  Can vent her thunders, and her lightnings play,
+  O'er cooling gruel, and composing tea:
+  Nor rests by night, but, more sincere than nice,
+  She shakes the curtains with her kind advice:
+  Doubly, like echo, sound is her delight,
+  And the last word is her eternal right.
+  Is't not enough, plagues, wars, and famines rise
+  To lash our crimes, but must our wives be wise?
+    Famine, plague, war, and an unnumber'd throng
+  Of guilt-avenging ills, to man belong:
+  What black, what ceaseless cares besiege our state!
+  What strokes we feel from fancy, and from fate!
+  If fate forbears us, fancy strikes the blow;
+  We make misfortune; suicides in woe.
+  Superfluous aid! unnecessary skill!
+  Is nature backward to torment, or kill?
+  How oft the noon, how oft the midnight, bell,
+  (That iron tongue of death!) with solemn knell,
+  On folly's errands as we vainly roam,
+  Knocks at our hearts, and finds our thoughts from home!
+  Men drop so fast, ere life's mid stage we tread,
+  Few know so many friends alive, as dead.
+  Yet, as immortal, in our up-hill chase
+  We press coy fortune with unslacken'd pace;
+  Our ardent labours for the toys we seek,
+  Join night to day, and Sunday to the week:
+  Our very joys are anxious, and expire
+  Between satiety and fierce desire.
+  Now what reward for all this grief and toil?
+  But one; a female friend's endearing smile;
+  A tender smile, our sorrows' only balm,
+  And, in life's tempest, the sad sailor's calm.
+    How have I seen a gentle nymph draw nigh,
+  Peace in her air, persuasion in her eye;
+  Victorious tenderness! it all o'ercame,
+  Husbands look'd mild, and savages grew tame.
+    The Sylvan race our active nymphs pursue;
+  Man is not all the game they have in view:
+  In woods and fields their glory they complete;
+  Their Master Betty leaps a five-barr'd gate;
+  While fair Miss Charles to toilets is confin'd,
+  Nor rashly tempts the barb'rous sun and wind.
+  Some nymphs affect a more heroic breed,
+  And volt from hunters to the manag'd steed;
+  Command his prancings with a martial air,
+  And Fobert has the forming of the fair.
+    More than one steed must Delia's empire feel,
+  Who sits triumphant o'er the flying wheel;
+  And as she guides it thro' th' admiring throng,
+  With what an air she smacks the silken thong!
+  Graceful as John, she moderates the reins,
+  And whistles sweet her diuretic strains;
+  Sesostris like, such charioteers as these
+  May drive six harness'd monarchs, if they please:
+  They drive, row, run, with love of glory smit,
+  Leap, swim, shoot flying, and pronounce on wit.
+    O'er the belle-lettre lovely Daphne reigns;
+  Again the god Apollo wears her chains:
+  With legs toss'd high, on her sophee she sits
+  Vouchsafing audience to contending wits:
+  Of each performance she's the final test;
+  One act read o'er, she prophesies the rest;
+  And then, pronouncing with decisive air,
+  Fully convinces all the town--she's fair.
+  Had lovely Daphne Hecatessa's face,
+  How would her elegance of taste decrease!
+  Some ladies' judgment in their features lies,
+  And all their genius sparkles from their eyes.
+    "But hold," she cries, "lampooner! have a care;
+  Must I want common sense, because I'm fair?"
+  O no: see Stella; her eyes shine as bright
+  As if her tongue was never in the right;
+  And yet what real learning, judgment, fire!
+  She seems inspir'd, and can herself inspire:
+  How then (if malice rul'd not all the fair)
+  Could Daphne publish, and could she forbear?
+  We grant that beauty is no bar to sense,
+  Nor is't a sanction for impertinence.
+    Sempronia lik'd her man; and well she might;
+  The youth in person, and in parts, was bright;
+  Possess'd of every virtue, grace, and art,
+  That claims just empire o'er the female heart:
+  He met her passion, all her sighs return'd,
+  And, in full rage of youthful ardour, burn'd:
+  Large his possessions, and beyond her own:
+  Their bliss the theme, and envy of the town:
+  The day was fix'd, when, with one acre more,
+  In stepp'd deform'd, debauch'd, diseas'd threescore.
+  The fatal sequel I, through shame, forbear:
+  Of pride, and av'rice, who can cure the fair?
+    Man's rich with little, were his judgment true;
+  Nature is frugal, and her wants are few;
+  Those few wants answer'd, bring sincere delights;
+  But fools create themselves new appetites:
+  Fancy, and pride, seek things at vast expense,
+  Which relish not to reason, nor to sense.
+  When surfeit, or unthankfulness, destroys,
+  In nature's narrow sphere, our solid joys,
+  In fancy's airy land of noise and show,
+  Where nought but dreams, no real pleasures, grow;
+  Like cats in air-pumps, to subsist we strive
+  On joys too thin to keep the soul alive.
+  Lemira's sick; make haste; the doctor call:
+  He comes; but where's his patient? At the ball.
+  The doctor stares; her woman curtsies low,
+  And cries, "My lady, Sir, is always so:
+  Diversions put her maladies to flight:
+  True, she can't stand, but she can dance all night:
+  I've known my lady (for she loves a tune)
+  For fevers take an opera in June:
+  And, tho' perhaps you'll think the practice bold,
+  A midnight park is sov'reign for a cold:
+  With cholics, breakfasts of green fruit agree;
+  With indigestions, supper just at three."
+  A strange alternative, replies Sir Hans,
+  Must women have a doctor, or a dance?
+  Though sick to death, abroad they safely roam,
+  But droop and die, in perfect health, at home:
+  For want--but not of health, are ladies ill;
+  And tickets cure beyond the doctor's pill.
+    Alas, my heart! how languishingly fair
+  Yon lady lolls! with what a tender air!
+  Pale as a young dramatic author, when,
+  O'er darling lines, fell Cibber waves his pen.
+  Is her lord angry, or has(14) Veny chid?
+  Dead is her father, or the mask forbid?
+  "Late sitting up has turn'd her roses white."
+  Why went she not to bed? "Because 'twas night."
+  Did she then dance, or play? "Nor this, nor that."
+  Well, night soon steals away in pleasing chat.
+  "No, all alone, her prayers she rather chose,
+  Than be that wretch to sleep till morning rose."
+  Then lady Cynthia, mistress of the shade,
+  Goes, with the fashionable owls, to bed:
+  This her pride covets, this her health denies;
+  Her soul is silly, but her body's wise.
+    Others, with curious arts, dim charms revive,
+  And triumph in the bloom of fifty-five.
+  You, in the morning, a fair nymph invite;
+  To keep her word, a brown one comes at night:
+  Next day she shines in glossy black; and then
+  Revolves into her native red again:
+  Like a dove's neck, she shifts her transient charms,
+  And is her own dear rival in your arms.
+    But one admirer has the painted lass;
+  Nor finds that one, but in her looking-glass:
+  Yet Laura's beautiful to such excess,
+  That all her art scarce makes her please us less.
+  To deck the female cheek, he only knows,
+  Who paints less fair the lily, and the rose.
+    How gay they smile! Such blessings nature pours,
+  O'erstock'd mankind enjoy but half her stores:
+  In distant wilds, by human eyes unseen,
+  She rears her flowers, and spreads her velvet green:
+  Pure gurgling rills the lonely desert trace,
+  And waste their music on the savage race.
+  Is nature then a niggard of her bliss?
+  Repine we guiltless in a world like this?
+  But our lewd tastes her lawful charms refuse,
+  And painted art's depraved allurements choose.
+  Such Fulvia's passion for the town; fresh air
+  (An odd effect!) gives vapours to the fair;
+  Green fields, and shady groves, and crystal springs,
+  And larks, and nightingales, are odious things;
+  But smoke, and dust, and noise, and crowds, delight;
+  And to be press'd to death, transports her quite:
+  Where silver riv'lets play through flow'ry meads,
+  And woodbines give their sweets, and limes their shades,
+  Black kennels' absent odours she regrets,
+  And stops her nose at beds of violets.
+    Is stormy life preferr'd to the serene?
+  Or is the public to the private scene?
+  Retir'd, we tread a smooth and open way;
+  Through briers and brambles in the world we stray;
+  Stiff opposition, and perplex'd debate,
+  And thorny care, and rank and stinging hate,
+  Which choke our passage, our career control,
+  And wound the firmest temper of our soul.
+  O sacred solitude! divine retreat!
+  Choice of the prudent! envy of the great!
+  By thy pure stream, or in thy waving shade,
+  We court fair wisdom, that celestial maid:
+  The genuine offspring of her lov'd embrace,
+  (Strangers on earth!) are innocence and peace:
+  There, from the ways of men laid safe ashore,
+  We smile to hear the distant tempest roar;
+  There, bless'd with health, with business unperplex'd,
+  This life we relish, and ensure the next;
+  There too the muses sport; these numbers free,
+  Pierian Eastbury! I owe to thee.
+  There sport the muses; but not there alone:
+  Their sacred force Amelia feels in town.
+  Nought but a genius can a genius fit;
+  A wit herself, Amelia weds a wit:
+  Both wits! though miracles are said to cease,
+  Three days, three wondrous days! they liv'd in peace;
+  With the fourth sun a warm dispute arose,
+  On Durfey's poesy, and Bunyan's prose:
+  The learned war both wage with equal force,
+  And the fifth morn concluded the divorce.
+    Phoebe, though she possesses nothing less,
+  Is proud of being rich in happiness:
+  Laboriously pursues delusive toys,
+  Content with pains, since they're reputed joys.
+  With what well-acted transport will she say,
+  "Well, sure, we were so happy yesterday!
+  And then that charming party for to-morrow!"
+  Though, well she knows, 'twill languish into sorrow:
+  But she dares never boast the present hour;
+  So gross that cheat, it is beyond her power:
+  For such is or our weakness, or our curse,
+  Or rather such our crime, which still is worse,
+  The present moment, like a wife, we shun,
+  And ne'er enjoy, because it is our own.
+    Pleasures are few, and fewer we enjoy;
+  Pleasure, like quicksilver, is bright, and coy;
+  We strive to grasp it with our utmost skill,
+  Still it eludes us, and it glitters still:
+  If seiz'd at last, compute your mighty gains;
+  What is it, but rank poison in your veins?
+    As Flavia in her glass an angel spies,
+  Pride whispers in her ear pernicious lies;
+  Tells her, while she surveys a face so fine,
+  There's no satiety of charms divine:
+  Hence, if her lover yawns, all chang'd appears
+  Her temper, and she melts (sweet soul!) in tears:
+  She, fond and young, last week, her wish enjoy'd,
+  In soft amusement all the night employ'd;
+  The morning came, when Strephon, waking, found
+  (Surprising sight!) his bride in sorrow drown'd.
+  "What miracle," says Strephon, "makes thee weep?"
+  "Ah, barb'rous man!" she cries, "how could you----sleep?"
+    Men love a mistress, as they love a feast;
+  How grateful one to touch, and one to taste!
+  Yet sure there is a certain time of day,
+  We wish our mistress, and our meat, away:
+  But soon the sated appetites return,
+  Again our stomachs crave, our bosoms burn:
+  Eternal love let man, then, never swear;
+  Let women never triumph, nor despair;
+  Nor praise, nor blame, too much, the warm, or chill;
+  Hunger and love are foreign to the will.
+    There is indeed a passion more refin'd,
+  For those few nymphs whose charms are of the mind:
+  But not of that unfashionable set
+  Is Phyllis; Phyllis and her Damon met.
+  Eternal love exactly hits her taste;
+  Phyllis demands eternal love at least.
+  Embracing Phyllis with soft smiling eyes,
+  Eternal love I vow, the swain replies:
+  But say, my all, my mistress, and my friend!
+  What day next week th' eternity shall end?
+    Some nymphs prefer astronomy to love:
+  Elope from mortal man, and range above.
+  The fair philosopher to Rowley flies,
+  Where, in a box, the whole creation lies:
+  She sees the planets in their turns advance,
+  And scorns, Poitier, thy sublunary dance;
+  Of Desagulier she bespeaks fresh air;
+  And Whiston has engagements with the fair.
+  What vain experiments Sophronia tries!
+  'Tis not in air-pumps the gay colonel dies.
+  But though to-day this rage of science reigns,
+  (O fickle sex!) soon end her learned pains.
+  Lo! Pug from Jupiter her heart has got,
+  Turns out the stars, and Newton is a sot.
+    To----turn; she never took the height
+  Of Saturn, yet is ever in the right.
+  She strikes each point with native force of mind,
+  While puzzled learning blunders far behind,
+  Graceful to sight, and elegant to thought,
+  The great are vanquish'd, and the wise are taught.
+  Her breeding finish'd, and her temper sweet,
+  When serious, easy; and when gay, discreet;
+  In glittering scenes, o'er her own heart, sincere;
+  In crowds, collected; and in courts, severe;
+  Sincere, and warm, with zeal well understood,
+  She takes a noble pride in doing good;
+  Yet not superior to her sex's cares,
+  The mode she fixes by the gown she wears;
+  Of silks and china she's the last appeal;
+  In these great points she leads the commonweal;
+  And if disputes of empire rise between
+  Mechlin the queen of lace, and colberteen,
+  'Tis doubt! 'tis darkness! till suspended fate
+  Assumes her nod, to close the grand debate.
+  When such her mind, why will the fair express
+  Their emulation only in their dress?
+    But, oh! the nymph that mounts above the skies,
+  And, gratis, clears religious mysteries,
+  Resolv'd the church's welfare to ensure,
+  And make her family a sine-cure:
+  The theme divine at cards she'll not forget,
+  But takes in texts of Scripture at picquet;
+  In those licentious meetings acts the prude,
+  And thanks her Maker that her cards are good.
+  What angels would those be, who thus excel
+  In theologies, could they sew as well!
+  Yet why should not the fair her text pursue?
+  Can she more decently the doctor woo?
+  'Tis hard, too, she who makes no use but chat
+  Of her religion, should be barr'd in that.
+    Isaac, a brother of the canting strain,
+  When he has knock'd at his own skull in vain,
+  To beauteous Marcia often will repair
+  With a dark text, to light it at the fair.
+  O how his pious soul exults to find
+  Such love for holy men in woman-kind!
+  Charm'd with her learning, with what rapture he
+  Hangs on her bloom, like an industrious bee!
+  Hums round about her, and with all his power
+  Extracts sweet wisdom from so fair a flower!
+    The young and gay declining, Appia flies
+  At nobler game, the mighty and the wise:
+  By nature more an eagle than a dove,
+  She impiously prefers the world to love.
+    Can wealth give happiness? look round, and see
+  What gay distress! what splendid misery!
+  Whatever fortune lavishly can pour,
+  The mind annihilates, and calls for more!
+  Wealth is a cheat; believe not what it says;
+  Like any lord it promises--and pays.
+  How will the miser startle, to be told
+  Of such a wonder, as insolvent gold!
+  What nature wants has an intrinsic weight;
+  All more, is but the fashion of the plate,
+  Which, for one moment, charms the fickle view;
+  It charms us now; anon we cast anew;
+  To some fresh birth of fancy more inclin'd:
+  Then wed not acres, but a noble mind.
+    Mistaken lovers, who make worth their care,
+  And think accomplishments will win the fair:
+  The fair, 'tis true, by genius should be won,
+  As flow'rs unfold their beauties to the sun;
+  And yet in female scales a fop outweighs,
+  And wit must wear the willow and the bays.
+  Nought shines so bright in vain Liberia's eye
+  As riot, impudence, and perfidy;
+  The youth of fire, that has drunk deep, and play'd,
+  And kill'd his man, and triumph'd o'er his maid;
+  For him, as yet unhang'd, she spreads her charms,
+  Snatches the dear destroyer to her arms;
+  And amply gives (though treated long amiss)
+  The man of merit his revenge in this,
+  If you resent, and wish a woman ill,
+  But turn her o'er one moment to her will.
+    The languid lady next appears in state,
+  Who was not born to carry her own weight;
+  She lolls, reels, staggers, till some foreign aid
+  To her own stature lifts the feeble maid.
+  Then, if ordain'd to so severe a doom,
+  She, by just stages, journeys round the room:
+  But, knowing her own weakness, she despairs
+  To scale the Alps--that is, ascend the stairs.
+  My fan! let others say, who laugh at toil;
+  Fan! hood! glove! scarf! is her laconic style;
+  And that is spoke with such a dying fall,
+  That Betty rather sees, than hears the call:
+  The motion of her lips, and meaning eye,
+  Piece out th' idea her faint words deny.
+  O listen with attention most profound!
+  Her voice is but the shadow of a sound.
+  And help! oh help! her spirits are so dead,
+  One hand scarce lifts the other to her head.
+  If, there, a stubborn pin it triumphs o'er,
+  She pants! she sinks away! and is more.
+  Let the robust and the gigantic carve,
+  Life is not worth so much, she'd rather starve;
+  But chew she must herself; ah cruel fate!
+  That Rosalinda can't by proxy eat.
+    An antidote in female caprice lies
+  (Kind heaven!) against the poison of their eyes.
+    Thalestris triumphs in a manly mien;
+  Loud is her accent, and her phrase obscene.
+  In fair and open dealing where's the shame?
+  What nature dares to give, she dares to name.
+  This honest fellow is sincere and plain,
+  And justly gives the jealous husband pain.
+  (Vain is the task to petticoats assign'd,
+  If wanton language shows a naked mind.)
+  And now and then, to grace her eloquence,
+  An oath supplies the vacancies of sense.
+  Hark! the shrill notes transpierce the yielding air,
+  And teach the neighb'ring echoes how to swear.
+  By Jove, is faint, and for the simple swain;
+  She, on the Christian system, is profane.
+  But though the volley rattles in your ear,
+  Believe her dress, she's not a grenadier.
+  If thunder's awful, how much more our dread,
+  When Jove deputes a lady in his stead?
+  A lady! pardon my mistaken pen,
+  A shameless woman is the worst of men.
+    Few to good breeding make a just pretence;
+  Good breeding is the blossom of good sense;
+  The last result of an accomplish'd mind,
+  With outward grace, the body's virtue, join'd.
+  A violated decency now reigns;
+  And nymphs for failings take peculiar pains.
+  With Chinese painters modern toasts agree,
+  The point they aim at is deformity:
+  They throw their persons with a hoyden air
+  Across the room, and toss into the chair.
+  So far their commerce with mankind is gone,
+  They, for our manners, have exchang'd their own.
+  The modest look, the castigated grace,
+  The gentle movement, and slow measur'd pace,
+  For which her lovers died, her parents pray'd,
+  Are indecorums with the modern maid.
+  Stiff forms are bad; but let not worse intrude,
+  Nor conquer art and nature, to be rude.
+  Modern good-breeding carry to its height,
+  And lady D----'s self will be polite.
+    Ye rising fair! ye bloom of Britain's isle!
+  When high-born Anna, with a soften'd smile,
+  Leads on your train, and sparkles at your head,
+  What seems most hard, is, not to be well bred.
+  Her bright example with success pursue,
+  And all, but adoration, is your due.
+    But adoration! give me something more,
+  Cries Lyce, on the borders of threescore:
+  Nought treads so silent as the foot of time;
+  Hence we mistake our autumn for our prime;
+  'Tis greatly wise to know, before we're told,
+  The melancholy news, that we grow old.
+  Autumnal Lyce carries in her face
+  Memento mori to each public place.
+  O how your beating breast a mistress warms,
+  Who looks through spectacles to see your charms!
+  While rival undertakers hover round,
+  And with his spade the sexton marks the ground,
+  Intent not on her own, but others' doom,
+  She plans new conquests, and defrauds the tomb.
+  In vain the cock has summon'd sprites away,
+  She walks at noon, and blasts the bloom of day.
+  Gay rainbow silks her mellow charms infold,
+  And nought of Lyce but herself is old.
+  Her grizzled locks assume a smirking grace,
+  And art has levell'd her deep-furrow'd face.
+  Her strange demand no mortal can approve,
+  We'll ask her blessing, but can't ask her love.
+  She grants, indeed, a lady may decline
+  (All ladies but herself) at ninety-nine.
+    O how unlike her is the sacred age
+  Of prudent Portia! her gray hairs engage;
+  Whose thoughts are suited to her life's decline:
+  Virtue's the paint that can with wrinkles shine.
+  That, and that only, can old age sustain;
+  Which yet all wish, nor know they wish for pain.
+  Not num'rous are our joys, when life is new;
+  And yearly some are falling of the few;
+  But when we conquer life's meridian stage,
+  And downward tend into the vale of age,
+  They drop apace; by nature some decay,
+  And some the blasts of fortune sweep away;
+  Till naked quite of happiness, aloud
+  We call for death, and shelter in a shroud.
+    Where's Portia now?--But Portia left behind
+  Two lovely copies of her form and mind.
+  What heart untouch'd their early grief can view,
+  Like blushing rose-buds dipp'd in morning dew?
+  Who into shelter takes their tender bloom,
+  And forms their minds to flee from ills to come?
+  The mind, when turn'd adrift, no rules to guide,
+  Drives at the mercy of the wind and tide;
+  Fancy and passion toss it to and fro;
+  Awhile torment, and then quite sink in woe.
+  Ye beauteous orphans, since in silent dust
+  Your best example lies, my precepts trust.
+  Life swarms with ills; the boldest are afraid;
+  Where then is safety for a tender maid?
+  Unfit for conflict, round beset with woes,
+  And man, whom least she fears, her worst of foes!
+  When kind, most cruel; when oblig'd the most,
+  The least obliging; and by favours lost.
+  Cruel by nature, they for kindness hate;
+  And scorn you for those ills themselves create.
+  If on your fame your sex a blot has thrown,
+  'Twill ever stick, through malice of your own.
+  Most hard! in pleasing your chief glory lies;
+  And yet from pleasing your chief dangers rise:
+  Then please the best; and know, for men of sense,
+  Your strongest charms are native innocence.
+  Art on the mind, like paint upon the face,
+  Fright him, that's worth your love, from your embrace.
+  In simple manners all the secret lies;
+  Be kind and virtuous, you'll be blest and wise.
+  Vain show and noise intoxicate the brain,
+  Begin with giddiness, and end in pain.
+  Affect not empty fame, and idle praise,
+  Which, all those wretches I describe, betrays.
+  Your sex's glory 'tis, to shine unknown;
+  Of all applause, be fondest of your own.
+  Beware the fever of the mind! that thirst
+  With which the age is eminently curst:
+  To drink of pleasure, but inflames desire;
+  And abstinence alone can quench the fire;
+  Take pain from life, and terror from the tomb;
+  Give peace in hand; and promise bliss to come.
+

+
+                                Satire VI.
+
+
+                                On Women.
+
+
+      Inscribed to the Right Honourable the Lady Elizabeth Germain.
+
+
+      Interdum tamen et tollit comoedia vocem.
+
+                                                                 --HOR.
+
+
+  I sought a patroness, but sought in vain.
+  Apollo whisper'd in my ear--"Germain."--
+  I know her not.--"Your reason's somewhat odd;
+  Who knows his patron, now?" replied the god.
+  "Men write, to me, and to the world, unknown;
+  Then steal great names, to shield them from the town.
+  Detected worth, like beauty disarray'd,
+  To covert flies, of praise itself afraid:
+  Should she refuse to patronize your lays,
+  In vengeance write a volume in her praise.
+  Nor think it hard so great a length to run;
+  When such the theme, 'twill easily be done."
+    Ye fair! to draw your excellence at length,
+  Exceeds the narrow bounds of human strength;
+  You, here, in miniature your picture see;
+  Nor hope from Zincks more justice than from me.
+  My portraits grace your mind, as his your side;
+  His portraits will inflame, mine quench, your pride.
+  He's dear, you frugal; choose my cheaper lay;
+  And be your reformation all my pay.
+    Lavinia is polite, but not profane;
+  To church as constant as to Drury Lane.
+  She decently, in form, pays heaven its due;
+  And makes a civil visit to her pew.
+  Her lifted fan, to give a solemn air,
+  Conceals her face, which passes for a prayer:
+  Curtsies to curtsies, then, with grace, succeed;
+  Not one the fair omits, but at the creed.
+  Or if she joins the service, 'tis to speak;
+  Thro' dreadful silence the pent heart might break;
+  Untaught to bear it, women talk away
+  To God himself, and fondly think they pray.
+  But sweet their accent, and their air refin'd;
+  For they're before their Maker--and mankind:
+  When ladies once are proud of praying well,
+  Satan himself will toll the parish bell.
+    Acquainted with the world, and quite well bred,
+  Drusa receives her visitants in bed;
+  But, chaste as ice, this Vesta, to defy
+  The very blackest tongue of calumny,
+  When from the sheets her lovely form she lifts,
+  She begs you just would turn you, while she shifts.
+    Those charms are greatest which decline the sight,
+  That makes the banquet poignant and polite.
+  There is no woman, where there's no reserve;
+  And 'tis on plenty your poor lovers starve.
+  But with a modern fair, meridian merit
+  Is a fierce thing, they call a nymph of spirit.
+  Mark well the rollings of her flaming eye;
+  And tread on tiptoe, if you dare draw nigh.
+  "Or if you take a lion by the beard,(15)
+  Or dare defy the fell Hyrcanian pard,
+  Or arm'd rhinoceros, or rough Russian bear,"
+  First make your will, and then converse with her.
+  This lady glories in profuse expense;
+  And thinks distraction is magnificence.
+  To beggar her gallant, is some delight;
+  To be more fatal still, is exquisite;
+  Had ever nymph such reason to be glad?
+  In duel fell two lovers; one run mad.
+  Her foes their honest execrations pour;
+  Her lovers only should detest her more.
+    Flavia is constant to her old gallant,
+  And generously supports him in his want;
+  But marriage is a fetter, is a snare,
+  A hell, no lady so polite can bear.
+  She's faithful, she's observant, and with pains
+  Her angel brood of bastards she maintains.
+  Nor least advantage has the fair to plead,
+  But that of guilt, above the marriage-bed.
+    Amasia hates a prude, and scorns restraint;
+  Whate'er she is, she'll not appear a saint:
+  Her soul superior flies formality;
+  So gay her air, her conduct is so free,
+  Some might suspect the nymph not over good--
+  Nor would they be mistaken, if they should.
+    Unmarried Abra puts on formal airs;
+  Her cushion's threadbare with her constant prayers.
+  Her only grief is, that she cannot be
+  At once engag'd in prayer and charity.
+  And this, to do her justice, must be said,
+  "Who would not think that Abra was a maid?"
+    Some ladies are too beauteous to be wed;
+  For where's the man that's worthy of their bed?
+  If no disease reduce her pride before,
+  Lavinia will be ravish'd at threescore.
+  Then she submits to venture in the dark;
+  And nothing now is wanting--but her spark.
+    Lucia thinks happiness consists in state;
+  She weds an idiot, but she eats in plate.
+  The goods of fortune, which her soul possess,
+  Are but the ground of unmade happiness;
+  The rude material: wisdom add to this,
+  Wisdom, the sole artificer of bliss;
+  She from herself, if so compell'd by need,
+  Of thin content can draw the subtle thread;
+  But (no detraction to her sacred skill)
+  If she can work in gold, 'tis better still.
+    If Tullia had been blest with half her sense,
+  None could too much admire her excellence:
+  But since she can make error shine so bright,
+  She thinks it vulgar to defend the right.
+  With understanding she is quite o'errun;
+  And by too great accomplishments undone:
+  With skill she vibrates her eternal tongue,
+  For ever most divinely in the wrong.
+    Naked in nothing should a woman be;
+  But veil her very wit with modesty:
+  Let man discover, let not her display,
+  But yield her charms of mind with sweet delay.
+    For pleasure form'd, perversely some believe,
+  To make themselves important, men must grieve.
+  Lesbia the fair, to fire her jealous lord,
+  Pretends, the fop she laughs at, is ador'd.
+  In vain she's proud of secret innocence;
+  The fact she fains were scarce a worse offence.
+    Mira, endow'd with every charm to bless,
+  Has no design, but on her husband's peace:
+  He lov'd her much; and greatly was he mov'd
+  At small inquietudes in her he lov'd.
+  "How charming this!"--The pleasure lasted long;
+  Now every day the fits come thick and strong:
+  At last he found the charmer only feign'd;
+  And was diverted when he should be pain'd.
+  What greater vengeance had the gods in store?
+  How tedious life, now she can plague no more!
+  She tries a thousand arts; but none succeed:
+  She's forc'd a fever to procure indeed:
+  Thus strictly prov'd this virtuous, loving wife,
+  Her husband's pain was dearer than her life.
+    Anxious Melania rises to my view,
+  Who never thinks her lover pays his due:
+  Visit, present, treat, flatter, and adore;
+  Her majesty, to-morrow, calls for more.
+  His wounded ears complaints eternal fill,
+  As unoil'd hinges, querulously shrill.
+  "You went last night with Celia to the ball."
+  You prove it false. "Not go! that's worst of all."
+  Nothing can please her, nothing not inflame;
+  And arrant contradictions are the same.
+  Her lover must be sad, to please her spleen;
+  His mirth is an inexpiable sin:
+  For of all rivals that can pain her breast,
+  There's one, that wounds far deeper than the rest;
+  To wreck her quiet, the most dreadful shelf
+  Is if her lover dares enjoy himself.
+    And this, because she's exquisitely fair:
+  Should I dispute her beauty, how she'd stare!
+  How would Melania be surpris'd to hear
+  She's quite deform'd! And yet the case is clear;
+  What's female beauty, but an air divine,
+  Thro' which the mind's all gentle graces shine?
+  They, like the sun, irradiate all between;
+  The body charms because the soul is seen.
+  Hence, men are often captives of a face,
+  They know not why, of no peculiar grace:
+  Some forms, tho' bright, no mortal man can bear;
+  Some, none resist, tho' not exceeding fair.
+    Aspasia's highly born, and nicely bred,
+  Of taste refin'd, in life and manners read;
+  Yet reaps no fruit from her superior sense,
+  But to be teaz'd by her own excellence.
+  "Folks are so awkward! things so unpolite!"
+  She's elegantly pain'd from morn till night.
+  Her delicacy's shock'd where'er she goes;
+  Each creature's imperfections are her woes.
+  Heaven by its favour has the fair distrest,
+  And pour'd such blessings--that she can't be blest.
+    Ah! why so vain, though blooming in thy spring,
+  Thou shining, frail, ador'd, and wretched thing?
+  Old age will come; disease may come before;
+  Fifteen is full as mortal as threescore.
+  Thy fortune, and thy charms, may soon decay:
+  But grant these fugitives prolong their stay,
+  Their basis totters, their foundation shakes;
+  Life, that supports them, in a moment breaks;
+  Then wrought into the soul let virtues shine;
+  The ground eternal, as the work divine.
+    Julia's a manager; she's born for rule;
+  And knows her wiser husband is a fool;
+  Assemblies holds, and spins the subtle thread
+  That guides the lover to his fair one's bed:
+  For difficult amours can smooth the way,
+  And tender letters dictate, or convey.
+  But if depriv'd of such important cares,
+  Her wisdom condescends to less affairs.
+  For her own breakfast she'll project a scheme,
+  Nor take her tea without a stratagem;
+  Presides o'er trifles with a serious face;
+  Important by the virtue of grimace.
+    Ladies supreme among amusements reign;
+  By nature born to soothe, and entertain.
+  Their prudence in a share of folly lies:
+  Why will they be so weak, as to be wise?
+    Syrena is for ever in extremes,
+  And with a vengeance she commends, or blames.
+  Conscious of her discernment, which is good,
+  She strains too much to make it understood.
+  Her judgment just, her sentence is too strong;
+  Because she's right, she's ever in the wrong.
+    Brunetta's wise in actions great, and rare;
+  But scorns on trifles to bestow her care.
+  Thus ev'ry hour Brunetta is to blame,
+  Because th' occasion is beneath her aim,
+  Think nought a trifle, though it small appear;
+  Small sands the mountain, moments make the year,
+  And trifles life. Your care to trifles give,
+  Or you may die, before you truly live.
+    Go breakfast with Alicia, there you'll see,
+  Simplex munditiis, to the last degree:
+  Unlac'd her stays, her night-gown is untied,
+  And what she has of head-dress is aside.
+  She drawls her words, and waddles in her pace;
+  Unwash'd her hands, and much besnuff'd her face.
+  A nail uncut, and head uncomb'd, she loves;
+  And would draw on jack-boots, as soon as gloves.
+  Gloves by Queen Bess's maidens might be miss'd;
+  Her blessed eyes ne'er saw a female fist.
+  Lovers, beware! to wound how can she fail
+  With scarlet finger, and long jetty nail?
+  For Harvey the first wit she cannot be,
+  Nor, cruel Richmond, the first toast for thee.
+  Since full each other station of renown,
+  Who would not be the greatest trapes in town?
+  Women were made to give our eyes delight;
+  A female sloven is an odious sight.
+    Fair Isabella is so fond of fame,
+  That her dear self is her eternal theme;
+  Through hopes of contradiction, oft she'll say,
+  "Methinks I look so wretchedly to-day!"
+  When most the world applauds you, most beware;
+  'Tis often less a blessing than a snare.
+  Distrust mankind; with your own heart confer;
+  And dread even there to find a flatterer.
+  The breath of others raises our renown;
+  Our own as surely blows the pageant down.
+  Take up no more than you by worth can claim,
+  Lest soon you prove a bankrupt in your fame.
+    But own I must, in this perverted age,
+  Who most deserve, can't always most engage.
+  So far is worth from making glory sure,
+  It often hinders what it should procure.
+  Whom praise we most? The virtuous, brave, and wise?
+  No; wretches, whom, in secret, we despise.
+  And who so blind, as not to see the cause?
+  No rivals rais'd by such discreet applause;
+  And yet, of credit it lays in a store,
+  By which our spleen may wound true worth the more.
+    Ladies there are who think one crime is all:
+  Can women, then, no way but backward fall?
+  So sweet is that one crime they don't pursue,
+  To pay its loss, they think all others few.
+  Who hold that crime so dear, must never claim
+  Of injur'd modesty the sacred name.
+    But Clio thus: "What! railing without end?
+  Mean task! how much more gen'rous to commend!"
+  Yes, to commend as you are wont to do,
+  My kind instructor, and example too.
+  "Daphnis," says Clio, "has a charming eye:
+  What pity 'tis her shoulder is awry!
+  Aspasia's shape indeed--but then her air--
+  The man has parts who finds destruction there.
+  Almeria's wit has something that's divine;
+  And wit's enough--how few in all things shine!
+  Selina serves her friends, relieves the poor--
+  Who was it said Selina's near threescore?
+  At Lucia's match I from my soul rejoice;
+  The world congratulates so wise a choice;
+  His lordship's rent-roll is exceeding great--
+  But mortgages will sap the best estate.
+  In Sherley's form might cherubims appear;
+  But then--she has a freckle on her ear."
+  Without a but, Hortensia she commends,
+  The first of women, and the best of friends;
+  Owns her in person, wit, fame, virtue, bright:
+  But how comes this to pass?--She died last night.
+    Thus nymphs commend, who yet at satire rail:
+  Indeed that's needless, if such praise prevail.
+  And whence such praise? Our virulence is thrown
+  On others' fame, thro' fondness for our own.
+    Of rank and riches proud, Cleora frowns;
+  For are not coronets akin to crowns?
+  Her greedy eye, and her sublime address,
+  The height of avarice and pride confess.
+  You seek perfections worthy of her rank;
+  Go, seek for her perfections at the bank.
+  By wealth unquench'd, by reason uncontrol'd,
+  For ever burns her sacred thirst of gold.
+  As fond of five-pence, as the veriest cit;
+  And quite as much detested as a wit.
+    Can gold calm passion, or make reason shine?
+  Can we dig peace, or wisdom, from the mine?
+  Wisdom to gold prefer; for 'tis much less
+  To make our fortune, than our happiness.
+  That happiness which great ones often see,
+  With rage and wonder, in a low degree;
+  Themselves unblest. The poor are only poor;
+  But what are they who droop amid their store?
+  Nothing is meaner than a wretch of state;
+  The happy only are the truly great.
+  Peasants enjoy like appetites with kings;
+  And those best satisfied with cheapest things.
+  Could both our Indies buy but one new sense,
+  Our envy would be due to large expense.
+  Since not, those pomps which to the great belong,
+  Are but poor arts to mark them from the throng.
+  See how they beg an alms of flattery!
+  They languish! oh support them with a lie!
+  A decent competence we fully taste;
+  It strikes our sense, and gives a constant feast:
+  More, we perceive by dint of thought alone;
+  The rich must labor to possess their own,
+  To feel their great abundance; and request
+  Their humble friends to help them to be blest;
+  To see their treasures, hear their glory told,
+  And aid the wretched impotence of gold.
+    But some, great souls! and touch'd with warmth divine,
+  Give gold a price, and teach its beams to shine.
+  All hoarded treasures they repute a load;
+  Nor think their wealth their own, till well bestow'd.
+  Grand reservoirs of public happiness,
+  Through secret streams diffusively they bless;
+  And, while their bounties glide conceal'd from view,
+  Relieve our wants, and spare our blushes too.
+  But satire is my task; and these destroy
+  Her gloomy province, and malignant joy.
+  Help me, ye misers! help me to complain,
+  And blast our common enemy, Germain:
+  But our invectives must despair success;
+  For next to praise, she values nothing less.
+    What picture's yonder, loosen'd from its frame?
+  Or is't Asturia? that affected dame.
+  The brightest forms, through affectation, fade
+  To strange new things, which nature never made.
+  Frown not, ye fair! so much your sex we prize,
+  We hate those arts that take you from our eyes.
+  In Albucinda's native grace is seen
+  What you, who labour at perfection, mean.
+  Short is the rule, and to be learnt with ease,
+  Retain your gentle selves, and you must please.
+  Here might I sing of Memmia's mincing mien,
+  And all the movements of the soft machine:
+  How two red lips affected zephyrs blow,
+  To cool the Bohea, and inflame the beau:
+  While one white finger, and a thumb, conspire
+  To lift the cup, and make the world admire.
+    Tea! how I tremble at thy fatal stream!
+  As Lethe, dreadful to the love of fame.
+  What devastations on thy banks are seen!
+  What shades of mighty names which once have been!
+  An hecatomb of characters supplies
+  Thy painted altars' daily sacrifice.
+  H----, P----, B----, aspers'd by thee, decay,
+  As grains of finest sugars melt away,
+  And recommend thee more to mortal taste:
+  Scandal's the sweet'ner of a female feast.
+    But this inhuman triumph shall decline,
+  And thy revolting naiads call for wine;
+  Spirits no longer shall serve under thee;
+  But reign in thy own cup, exploded tea!
+  Citronia's nose declares thy ruin nigh,
+  And who dares give Citronia's nose the lie?(16)
+    The ladies long at men of drink exclaim'd,
+  And what impair'd both health and virtue, blam'd;
+  At length, to rescue man, the generous lass
+  Stole from her consort the pernicious glass;
+  As glorious as the British queen renown'd,
+  Who suck'd the poison from her husband's wound.
+    Nor to the glass alone are nymphs inclin'd,
+  But every bolder vice of bold mankind.
+    O Juvenal! for thy severer rage!
+  To lash the ranker follies of our age.
+    Are there, among the females of our isle,
+  Such faults, at which it is a fault to smile?
+  There are. Vice, once by modest nature chain'd
+  And legal ties, expatiates unrestrain'd;
+  Without thin decency held up to view,
+  Naked she stalks o'er law and gospel too.
+  Our matrons lead such exemplary lives,
+  Men sigh in vain for none, but for their wives;
+  Who marry to be free, to range the more,
+  And wed one man to wanton with a score.
+  Abroad too kind, at home 'tis steadfast hate,
+  And one eternal tempest of debate.
+  What foul eruptions, from a look most meek!
+  What thunders bursting, from a dimpled cheek!
+  Their passions bear it with a lofty hand!
+  But then, their reason is at due command.
+  Is there whom you detest, and seek his life?
+  Trust no soul with the secret--but his wife.
+  Wives wonder that their conduct I condemn,
+  And ask, what kindred is a spouse to them?
+    What swarms of am'rous grandmothers I see!
+  And misses, ancient in iniquity?
+  What blasting whispers, and what loud declaiming!
+  What lying, drinking, bawding, swearing, gaming!
+  Friendship so cold, such warm incontinence;
+  Such griping av'rice, such profuse expense;
+  Such dead devotion, such a zeal for crimes;
+  Such licens'd ill, such masquerading times;
+  Such venal faith, such misapplied applause;
+  Such flatter'd guilt, and such inverted laws;
+  Such dissolution through the whole I find,
+  'Tis not a world, but chaos of mankind.
+    Since Sundays have no balls, the well-dress'd belle
+  Shines in the pew, but smiles to hear of hell;
+  And casts an eye of sweet disdain on all,
+  Who listens less to Collins than St. Paul.
+  Atheists have been but rare; since nature's birth,
+  Till now, she-atheists ne'er appear'd on earth.
+  Ye men of deep researches, say, whence springs
+  This daring character, in timorous things?
+  Who start at feathers, from an insect fly,
+  A match for nothing--but the Deity.
+    But, not to wrong the fair, the muse must own
+  In this pursuit they court not fame alone;
+  But join to that a more substantial view,
+  "From thinking free, to be free agents too."
+    They strive with their own hearts, and keep them down,
+  In complaisance to all the fools in town.
+  O how they tremble at the name of prude!
+  And die with shame at thought of being good!
+  For what will Artimis, the rich and gay,
+  What will the wits, that is, the coxcombs say?
+  They heaven defy, to earth's vile dregs a slave;
+  Thro' cowardice, most execrably brave.
+  With our own judgments durst we to comply,
+  In virtue should we live, in glory die.
+  Rise then, my muse, in honest fury rise;
+  They dread a satire, who defy the skies.
+    Atheists are few: most nymphs a Godhead own;
+  And nothing but his attributes dethrone.
+  From Atheists far, they steadfastly believe
+  God is, and is Almighty----to forgive.
+  His other excellence they'll not dispute;
+  But mercy, sure, is his chief attribute.
+  Shall pleasures of a short duration chain
+  A lady's soul in everlasting pain?
+  Will the great Author us poor worms destroy,
+  For now and then a sip of transient joy?
+  No, he's for ever in a smiling mood;
+  He's like themselves, or how could he be good?
+  And they blaspheme, who blacker schemes suppose.--
+  Devoutly, thus, Jehovah they depose,
+  The pure! the just! and set up, in his stead,
+  A deity, that's perfectly well bred.
+    "Dear Tillotson! be sure the best of men;
+  Nor thought he more, than thought great Origen,
+  Though once upon a time he misbehav'd;
+  Poor Satan! doubtless, he'll at length be sav'd.
+  Let priests do something for their one in ten;
+  It is their trade; so far they're honest men.
+  Let them cant on, since they have got the knack,
+  And dress their notions, like themselves, in black;
+  Fright us, with terrors of a world unknown,
+  From joys of this, to keep them all their own.
+  Of earth's fair fruits, indeed, they claim a fee;
+  But then they leave our untith'd virtue free.
+  Virtue's a pretty thing to make a show:
+  Did ever mortal write like Rochefocaut?"
+  Thus pleads the devil's fair apologist,
+  And, pleading, safely enters on his list.
+    Let angel-forms angelic truths maintain;
+  Nature disjoins the beauteous and profane.
+  For what's true beauty, but fair virtue's face?
+  Virtue made visible in outward grace?
+  She, then, that's haunted with an impious mind,
+  The more she charms, the more she shocks mankind.
+    But charms decline: the fair long vigils keep:
+  They sleep no more! (17)quadrille has murder'd sleep.
+  "Poor K--p! cries Livia; I have not been there
+  These two nights; the poor creature will despair.
+  I hate a crowd--but to do good, you know--
+  And people of condition should bestow."
+  Convinc'd, o'ercome, to K--p's grave matrons run;
+  Now set a daughter, and now stake a son;
+  Let health, fame, temper, beauty, fortune, fly;
+  And beggar half their race--thro' charity.
+    Immortal were we, or else mortal quite,
+  I less should blame this criminal delight:
+  But since the gay assembly's gayest room
+  Is but the upper story of some tomb,
+  Methinks, we need not our short beings shun,
+  And, thought to fly, contend to be undone.
+  We need not buy our ruin with our crime,
+  And give eternity to murder time.
+    The love of gaming is the worst of ills;
+  With ceaseless storms the blacken'd soul it fills;
+  Inveighs at heaven, neglects the ties of blood;
+  Destroys the power and will of doing good;
+  Kills health, pawns honour, plunges in disgrace,
+  And, what is still more dreadful--spoils your face.
+    See yonder set of thieves that live on spoil,
+  The scandal, and the ruin of our isle!
+  And see, (strange sight!) amid that ruffian band,
+  A form divine high wave her snowy hand;
+  That rattles loud a small enchanted box,
+  Which, loud as thunder, on the board she knocks.
+  And as fierce storms, which earth's foundation shook,
+  From AEolus's cave impetuous broke,
+  From this small cavern a mix'd tempest flies,
+  Fear, rage, convulsion, tears, oaths, blasphemies!
+  For men, I mean,--the fair discharges none;
+  She (guiltless creature!) swears to heaven alone.
+    See her eyes start! cheeks glow! and muscles swell!
+  Like the mad maid in the Cumean cell.
+  Thus that divine one her soft nights employs!
+  Thus tunes her soul to tender nuptial joys!
+  And when the cruel morning calls to bed,
+  And on her pillow lays her aching head,
+  With the dear images her dreams are crown'd,
+  The die spins lovely, or the cards go round;
+  Imaginary ruin charms her still;
+  Her happy lord is cuckol'd by spadille:
+  And if she's brought to bed, 'tis ten to one,
+  He marks the forehead of her darling son.
+    O scene of horror, and of wild despair,
+  Why is the rich Atrides' splended heir
+  Constrain'd to quit his ancient lordly seat,
+  And hide his glories in a mean retreat?
+  Why that drawn sword? And whence that dismal cry?
+  Why pale distraction thro' the family?
+  See my lord threaten, and my lady weep,
+  And trembling servants from the tempest creep.
+  Why that gay son to distant regions sent?
+  What fiends that daughter's destin'd match prevent?
+  Why the whole house in sudden ruin laid?
+  O nothing, but last night--my lady play'd.
+    But wanders not my satire from my theme?
+  Is this too owing to the love of fame?
+  Though now your hearts on lucre are bestow'd,
+  'Twas first a vain devotion to the mode;
+  Nor cease we here, since 'tis a vice so strong,
+  The torrent sweeps all womankind along;
+  This may be said, in honour of our times,
+  That none now stand distinguish'd by their crimes.
+    If sin you must, take nature for your guide:
+  Love has some soft excuse to soothe your pride:
+  Ye fair apostates from love's ancient power!
+  Can nothing ravish, but a golden shower?
+  Can cards alone your glowing fancy seize;
+  Must Cupid learn to punt, ere he can please?
+  When you're enamour'd of a lift or cast,
+  What can the preacher more, to make us chaste?
+  Why must strong youths unmarried pine away?
+  They find no woman disengag'd----from play.
+  Why pine the married--O severer fate!
+  They find from play no disengag'd--estate.
+  Flavia, at lovers false, untouch'd and hard,
+  Turns pale, and trembles at a cruel card.
+  Nor Arria's Bible can secure her age;
+  Her threescore years are shuffling with her page.
+  While death stands by, but till the game is done,
+  To sweep that stake, in justice, long his own;
+  Like old cards ting'd with sulphur, she takes fire;
+  Or, like snuffs sunk in sockets, blazes higher.
+  Ye gods! with new delights inspire the fair;
+  Or give us sons, and save us from despair.
+    Sons, brothers, fathers, husbands, tradesmen, close
+  In my complaint, and brand your sins in prose:
+  Yet I believe, as firmly as my creed,
+  In spite of all our wisdom, you'll proceed:
+  Our pride so great, our passion is so strong,
+  Advice to right confirms us in the wrong.
+  I hear you cry, "This fellow's very odd."
+  When you chastise, who would not kiss the rod?
+  But I've a charm your anger shall control,
+  And turn your eyes with coldness on the vole.
+    The charm begins! To yonder flood of light,
+  That bursts o'er gloomy Britain, turn your sight.
+  What guardian power o'erwhelms your souls with awe?
+  Her deeds are precepts, her example law;
+  'Midst empire's charms, how Carolina's heart
+  Glows with the love of virtue, and of art!
+  Her favour is diffus'd to that degree,
+  Excess of goodness! it has dawn'd on me:
+  When in my page, to balance numerous faults,
+  Or godlike deeds were shown, or gen'rous thoughts,
+  She smil'd, industrious to be pleas'd, nor knew
+  From whom my pen the borrow'd lustre drew.
+    (18)Thus the majestic mother of mankind,
+  To her own charms most amiably blind,
+  On the green margin innocently stood,
+  And gaz'd indulgent on the crystal flood;
+  Survey'd the stranger in the painted wave,
+  And, smiling, prais'd the beauties which she gave.

+
+                               Satire VII.
+
+
+               To the Right Honourable Sir Robert Walpole.
+
+
+      Carmina tum melius, cum venerit ipse, canemus.
+
+                                                                 VIRG.
+
+
+  On this last labour, this my closing strain,
+  Smile, Walpole! or the Nine inspire in vain:
+  To thee, 'tis due; that verse how justly thine,
+  Where Brunswick's glory crowns the whole design!
+  That glory, which thy counsels make so bright;
+  That glory, which on thee reflects a light.
+  Illustrious commerce, and but rarely known!
+  To give, and take, a lustre from the throne.
+    Nor think that thou art foreign to my theme;
+  The fountain is not foreign to the stream.
+  How all mankind will be surprised, to see
+  This flood of British folly charg'd on thee!
+  Say, Britain! whence this caprice of thy sons,
+  Which thro' their various ranks with fury runs?
+  The cause is plain, a cause which we must bless;
+  For caprice is the daughter of success,
+  (A bad effect, but from a pleasing cause!)
+  And gives our rulers undesign'd applause;
+  Tells how their conduct bids our wealth increase,
+  And lulls us in the downy lap of peace.
+    While I survey the blessings of our isle,
+  Her arts triumphant in the royal smile,
+  Her public wounds bound up, her credit high,
+  Her commerce spreading sails in every sky,
+  The pleasing scene recalls my theme again,
+  And shows the madness of ambitious men,
+  Who, fond of bloodshed, draw the murd'ring sword,
+  And burn to give mankind a single lord.
+    The follies past are of a private kind;
+  Their sphere is small; their mischief is confin'd:
+  But daring men there are (Awake, my muse,
+  And raise thy verse!) who bolder frenzy choose;
+  Who stung by glory, rave, and bound away;
+  The world their field, and humankind their prey.
+    The Grecian chief, th' enthusiast of his pride,
+  With rage and terror stalking by his side,
+  Raves round the globe; he soars into a god!
+  Stand fast, Olympus! and sustain his nod.
+  The pest divine in horrid grandeur reigns,
+  And thrives on mankind's miseries and pains,
+  What slaughter'd hosts! what cities in a blaze!
+  What wasted countries! and what crimson seas!
+  With orphans' tears his impious bowl o'erflows,
+  And cries of kingdoms lull him to repose.
+    And cannot thrice ten hundred years unpraise
+  The boist'rous boy, and blast his guilty bays?
+  Why want we then encomiums on the storm,
+  Or famine, or volcano? They perform
+  Their mighty deeds: they, hero-like, can slay,
+  And spread their ample desarts in a day.
+  O great alliance! O divine renown!
+  With dearth, and pestilence, to share the crown.
+  When men extol a wild destroyer's name,
+  Earth's builder and preserver they blaspheme.
+    One to destroy, is murder by the law;
+  And gibbets keep the lifted hand in awe;
+  To murder thousands, takes a specious name,
+  War's glorious art, and gives immortal fame.
+    When, after battle, I the field have seen
+  Spread o'er with ghastly shapes, which once were men;
+  A nation crush'd, a nation of the brave!
+  A realm of death! and on this side the grave!
+  Are there, said I, who from this sad survey,
+  This human chaos, carry smiles away?
+  How did my heart with indignation rise!
+  How honest nature swell'd into my eyes!
+  How was I shock'd to think the hero's trade
+  Of such materials, fame and triumph made!
+    How guilty these! Yet not less guilty they,
+  Who reach false glory by a smoother way:
+  Who wrap destruction up in gentle words,
+  And bows, and smiles, more fatal than their swords;
+  Who stifle nature, and subsist on art;
+  Who coin the face, and petrify the heart;
+  All real kindness for the show discard,
+  As marble polish'd, and as marble hard;
+  Who do for gold what Christians do thro' grace,
+  "With open arms their enemies embrace:"
+  Who give a nod when broken hearts repine;
+  "The thinnest food on which a wretch can dine:"
+  Or, if they serve you, serve you disinclin'd,
+  And, in their height of kindness, are unkind.
+  Such courtiers were, and such again may be,
+  Walpole! when men forget to copy thee.
+    Here cease, my muse! the catalogue is writ;
+  Nor one more candidate for fame admit,
+  Tho' disappointed thousands justly blame
+  Thy partial pen, and boast an equal claim:
+  Be this their comfort, fools, omitted here,
+  May furnish laughter for another year.
+  Then let Crispino, who was ne'er refused
+  The justice yet of being well abus'd,
+  With patience wait; and be content to reign
+  The pink of puppies in some future strain.
+    Some future strain, in which the muse shall tell
+  How science dwindles, and how volumes swell.
+    How commentators each dark passage shun,
+  And hold their farthing candle to the sun.
+    How tortur'd texts to speak our sense are made,
+  And every vice is to the scripture laid.
+    How misers squeeze a young voluptuous peer;
+  His sins to Lucifer not half so dear.
+  How Verres is less qualified to steal
+  With sword and pistol, than with wax and seal.
+    How lawyers' fees to such excess are run,
+  That clients are redress'd till they're undone.
+  How one man's anguish is another's sport;
+  And ev'n denials cost us dear at court.
+    How man eternally false judgments makes,
+  And all his joys and sorrows are mistakes.
+    This swarm of themes that settles on my pen,
+  Which I, like summer flies, shake off again,
+  Let others sing; to whom my weak essay
+  But sounds a prelude, and points out their prey:
+  That duty done, I hasten to complete
+  My own design; for Tonson's at the gate.
+    The love of fame in its effect survey'd,
+  The muse has sung; be now the cause display'd:
+  Since so diffusive, and so wide its sway,
+  What is this power, whom all mankind obey?
+    Shot from above, by heaven's indulgence, came
+  This generous ardour, this unconquer'd flame,
+  To warm, to raise, to deify, mankind,
+  Still burning brightest in the noblest mind.
+  By large-soul'd men, for thirst of fame renown'd,
+  Wise laws were fram'd, and sacred arts were found;
+  Desire of praise first broke the patriot's rest,
+  And made a bulwark of the warrior's breast;
+  It bids Argyll in fields and senate shine.
+  What more can prove its origin divine?
+    But, oh! this passion planted in the soul,
+  On eagle's wings to mount her to the pole,
+  The flaming minister of virtue meant,
+  Set up false gods, and wrong'd her high descent.
+    Ambition, hence, exerts a doubtful force,
+  Of blots, and beauties, an alternate source;
+  Hence Gildon rails, that raven of the pit,
+  Who thrives upon the carcasses of wit;
+  And in art-loving Scarborough is seen
+  How kind a pattern Pollio might have been.
+  Pursuit of fame with pedants fills our schools,
+  And into coxcombs burnishes our fools;
+  Pursuit of fame makes solid learning bright,
+  And Newton lifts above a mortal height;
+  That key of nature, by whose wit she clears
+  Her long, long secrets of five thousand years.
+    Would you then fully comprehend the whole,
+  Why, and in what degrees, pride sways the soul?
+  (For though in all, not equally, she reigns,)
+  Awake to knowledge, and attend my strains.
+    Ye doctors! hear the doctrine I disclose,
+  As true, as if't were writ in dullest prose;
+  As if a letter'd dunce had said, "'Tis right,"
+  And imprimatur usher'd it to light.
+    Ambition, in the truly noble mind,
+  With sister virtue is for ever join'd;
+  As in fam'd Lucrece, who, with equal dread,
+  From guilt, and shame, by her last conduct, fled:
+  Her virtue long rebell'd in firm disdain,
+  And the sword pointed at her heart in vain;
+  But, when the slave was threaten'd to be laid
+  Dead by her side, her love of fame obey'd.
+    In meaner minds ambition works alone;
+  But with such art puts virtue's aspect on,
+  That not more like in feature and in mien,
+  (19)The god and mortal in the comic scene.
+  False Julius, ambush'd in this fair disguise,
+  Soon made the Roman liberties his prize.
+    No mask in basest minds ambition wears,
+  But in full light pricks up her ass's ears:
+  All I have sung are instances of this,
+  And prove my theme unfolded not amiss.
+    Ye vain! desist from your erroneous strife;
+  Be wise, and quit the false sublime of life,
+  The true ambition there alone resides,
+  Where justice vindicates, and wisdom guides;
+  Where inward dignity joins outward state;
+  Our purpose good, as our achievement great;
+  Where public blessings public praise attend;
+  Where glory is our motive, not our end.
+  Wouldst thou be fam'd? Have those high deeds in view
+  Brave men would act, though scandal should ensue.
+    Behold a prince! whom no swoln thoughts inflame;
+  No pride of thrones, no fever after fame!
+  But when the welfare of mankind inspires,
+  And death in view to dear-bought glory fires,
+  Proud conquests then, then regal pomps delight;
+  Then crowns, then triumphs, sparkle in his sight;
+  Tumult and noise are dear, which with them bring
+  His people's blessings to their ardent king:
+  But, when those great heroic motives cease,
+  His swelling soul subsides to native peace;
+  From tedious grandeur's faded charms withdraws,
+  A sudden foe to splendour and applause;
+  Greatly deferring his arrears of fame,
+  Till men and angels jointly shout his name.
+  O pride celestial! which can pride disdain;
+  O blest ambition! which can ne'er be vain.
+    From one fam'd Alpine hill, which props the sky,
+  In whose deep womb unfathom'd waters lie,
+  Here burst the Rhone, and sounding Po; there shine,
+  In infant rills, the Danube and the Rhine;
+  From the rich store one fruitful urn supplies,
+  Whole kingdoms smile, a thousand harvests rise.
+    In Brunswick such a source the muse adores,
+  Which public blessings thro' half Europe pours.
+  When his heart burns with such a godlike aim,
+  Angels and George are rivals for the fame;
+  George! who in foes can soft affections raise,
+  And charm envenom'd satire into praise.
+    (20)Nor human rage alone his power perceives,
+  But the mad winds, and the tumultuous waves.
+  Ev'n storms (death's fiercest ministers!) forbear,
+  And, in their own wild empire, learn to spare.
+  Thus, nature's self, supporting man's decree,
+  Styles Britain's sovereign, sovereign of the sea.
+    While sea and air, great Brunswick! shook our state,
+  And sported with a king's and kingdom's fate,
+  Depriv'd of what she lov'd, and press'd by fear
+  Of ever losing what she held most dear,
+  How did Britannia, like (21)Achilles, weep,
+  And tell her sorrows to the kindred deep!
+  Hang o'er the floods, and, in devotion warm,
+  Strive, for thee, with the surge, and fight the storm
+    What felt thy Walpole, pilot of the realm!
+  Our Palinurus(22) slept not at the helm;
+  His eye ne'er clos'd; long since inur'd to wake,
+  And out-watch every star for Brunswick's sake:
+  By thwarting passions tost, by cares opprest,
+  He found the tempest pictur'd in his breast:
+  But, now, what joys that gloom of heart dispel,
+  No powers of language--but his own, can tell:
+  His own, which nature and the graces form,
+  At will, to raise, or hush, the civil storm.

+
+
+                              OCEAN: AN ODE
+
+
+   occasioned by His Majesty's Royal Encouragement of the Sea Service.
+
+
+     To Which is Prefixed an Ode to the King; and a Discourse on Ode.
+
+
+    I think myself obliged to recommend to you a consideration of the
+    greatest importance; and I should look upon it as a great
+    happiness, if, at the beginning of my reign, I could see the
+    foundation laid of so great and necessary a work, as the increase
+    and encouragement of our seamen in general; that they may be
+    invited, rather than compelled by force and violence, to enter
+    into the service of their country, as oft as occasion shall
+    require it: a consideration worthy the representatives of a people
+    great and flourishing in trade and navigation. This leads me to
+    mention to you the case of Greenwich Hospital, that care may be
+    taken, by some addition to that fund, to render comfortable and
+    effectual that charitable provision, for the support and
+    maintenance of our seamen, worn out, and become decrepit by age
+    and infirmities, in the service of their country.
+
+                                            [Speech, Jan. 27, 1727-8.]
+
+
+
+
+                            To the King.--1728.
+
+
+    Old ocean's praise
+    Demands my lays;
+  A truly British theme I sing;
+    A theme so great,
+    I dare complete,
+  And join with ocean, ocean's king.
+
+  The Roman ode
+    Majestic flow'd:
+  Its stream divinely clear, and strong;
+    In sense, and sound,
+    Thebes roll'd profound;
+  The torrent roar'd and foam'd along.
+
+    Let Thebes, nor Rome,
+    So fam'd, presume
+  To triumph o'er a northern isle;
+    Late time shall know
+    The north can glow,
+  If dread Augustus deign to smile.
+
+    The naval crown
+    Is all his own!
+  Our fleet, if war, or commerce, call,
+    His will performs
+    Through waves and storms,
+  And rides in triumph round the ball.
+
+    No former race,
+    With strong embrace,
+  This theme to ravish durst aspire;
+    With virgin charms
+    My soul it warms,
+  And melts melodious on my lyre.
+
+    My lays I file
+    With cautious toil;
+  Ye graces! turn the glowing lines;
+  On anvils neat
+    Your strokes repeat;
+  At every stroke the work refines!
+
+    How music charms!
+    How metre warms!
+  Parent of actions, good and brave!
+    How vice it tames!
+    And worth inflames!
+  And holds proud empire o'er the grave!
+
+    Jove mark'd for man
+    A scanty span,
+  But lent him wings to fly his doom;
+    Wit scorns the grave;
+    To wit he gave
+  The life of gods! immortal bloom!
+
+    Since years will fly,
+    And pleasures die,
+  Day after day, as years advance;
+    Since, while life lasts,
+    Joy suffers blasts
+  From frowning fate, and fickle chance;
+
+    Nor life is long;
+    But soon we throng,
+  Like autumn leaves, death's pallid shore;
+    We make, at least,
+    Of bad the best,
+  If in life's phantom, fame, we soar.
+
+    Our strains divide
+    The laurel's pride;
+  With those we lift to life, to live;
+    By fame enroll'd
+    With heroes bold,
+  And share the blessings which we give.
+
+    What hero's praise
+    Can fire my lays,
+  Like his, with whom my lay begun?
+    "Justice sincere,
+    And courage clear,
+  Rise the two columns of his throne.
+
+    "How form'd for sway!
+    Who look, obey;
+  They read the monarch in his port:
+    Their love and awe
+    Supply the law;
+  And his own lustre makes the court:"
+
+    On yonder height,
+    What golden light
+  Triumphant shines? and shines alone?
+    Unrivall'd blaze!
+    The nations gaze!
+  'Tis not the sun; 'tis Britain's throne.
+
+    Our monarch, there,
+    Rear'd high in air,
+  Should tempests rise, disdains to bend;
+  Like British oak,
+    Derides the stroke;
+  His blooming honours far extend!
+
+    Beneath them lies,
+    With lifted eyes,
+  Fair Albion, like an amorous maid;
+    While interest wings
+    Bold foreign kings
+  To fly, like eagles, to his shade.
+
+    At his proud foot
+    The sea, pour'd out,
+  Immortal nourishment supplies;
+    Thence wealth and state,
+    And power and fate,
+  Which Europe reads in George's eyes.
+
+    From what we view,
+    We take the clue,
+  Which leads from great to greater thing
+    Men doubt no more,
+    But gods adore,
+  When such resemblance shines in kings.
+
+
+
+
+                             On Lyric Poetry.
+
+
+How imperfect soever my own composition may be, yet am I willing to speak
+a word or two, of the nature of lyric poetry; to show that I have, at
+least, some idea of perfection in that kind of poem in which I am engaged;
+and that I do not think myself poet enough entirely to rely on inspiration
+for success in it.
+
+To our having, or not having, this idea of perfection in the poem we
+undertake, is chiefly owing the merit or demerit of our performances, as
+also the modesty or vanity of our opinions concerning them. And in
+speaking of it I shall show how it unavoidably comes to pass, that bad
+poets, that is, poets in general, are esteemed, and really are, the most
+vain, the most irritable, and most ridiculous set of men upon earth. But
+poetry in its own nature is certainly
+
+
+      Non hos quaesitum munus in usus.
+
+                                                                --VIRG.
+
+
+He that has an idea of perfection in the work he undertakes may fail in
+it; he that has not, must: and yet he will be vain. For every little
+degree of beauty, how short or improper soever, will be looked on fondly
+by him; because it is all pure gains, and more than he promised to
+himself; and because he has no test, or standard in his judgment, with
+which to chastise his opinion of it.
+
+Now this idea of perfection is, in poetry, more refined than in other
+kinds of writing; and because more refined, therefore more difficult; and
+because more difficult, therefore more rarely attained; and the
+non-attainment of it is, as I have said, the source of our vanity. Hence
+the poetic clan are more obnoxious to vanity than others. And from vanity
+consequently flows that great sensibility of disrespect, that quick
+resentment, that tinder of the mind that kindles at every spark, and
+justly marks them out for the genus irritabile among mankind. And from
+this combustible temper, this serious anger for no very serious things,
+things looked on by most as foreign to the important points of life, as
+consequentially flows that inheritance of ridicule, which devolves on
+them, from generation to generation. As soon as they become authors, they
+become like Ben Jonson's angry boy, and learn the art of quarrel.
+
+
+      Concordes animae--dum nocte prementur;
+      Heu! quantum inter se bellum, si lumina vitae
+      Attigerint, quantas acies stragemque ciebunt!
+      Qui Juvenes! quantas ostentant, aspice, vires.
+      Ne, pueri! ne tanta animis assuescite bella.
+      Tuque prior, tu parce, genus qui ducis Olympo,
+      Sidereo flagrans clypeo, et coelestibus armis,
+      Projice tela manu, sanguis meus!
+      Nec te ullae facies, non terruit ipse Typhoeus
+      Arduus, arma tenens; non te Messapus et Ufens,
+      Contemtorque Deum Mezentius.
+
+                                                                 VIRG.
+
+
+But to return. He that has this idea of perfection in the work he
+undertakes, however successful he is, will yet be modest; because to rise
+up to that idea, which he proposed for his model, is almost, if not
+absolutely, impossible.
+
+These two observations account for what may seem as strange, as it is
+infallibly true; I mean, they show us why good writers have the lowest,
+and bad writers the highest, opinion of their own performances. They who
+have only a partial idea of this perfection, as their portion of ignorance
+or knowledge of it is greater or less, have proportionable degrees of
+modesty or conceit.
+
+Nor, though natural good understanding makes a tolerably just judgment in
+things of this nature, will the reader judge the worse, for forming to
+himself a notion of what he ought to expect from the piece he has in hand,
+before he begins his perusal of it.
+
+The ode, as it is the eldest kind of poetry, so it is more spiritous, and
+more remote from prose, than any other, in sense, sound, expression, and
+conduct. Its thoughts should be uncommon, sublime, and moral; its numbers
+full, easy, and most harmonious; its expression pure, strong, delicate,
+yet unaffected; and of a curious felicity beyond other poems; its conduct
+should be rapturous, somewhat abrupt, and immethodical to a vulgar eye.
+That apparent order, and connexion, which gives form and life to some
+compositions, takes away the very soul of this. Fire, elevation, and
+select thought, are indispensable; an humble, tame, and vulgar ode is the
+most pitiful error a pen can commit.
+
+
+      Musa dedit fidibus divos, puerosque deorum.
+
+
+And as its subjects are sublime, its writer's genius should be so too;
+otherwise it becomes the meanest thing in writing, viz. an involuntary
+burlesque.
+
+It is the genuine character, and true merit of the ode, a little to
+startle some apprehensions. Men of cold complexions are very apt to
+mistake a want of vigour in their imaginations, for a delicacy of taste in
+their judgments; and, like persons of a tender sight, they look on bright
+objects, in their natural lustre, as too glaring; what is most delightful
+to a stronger eye, is painful to them. Thus Pindar, who has as much logic
+at the bottom as Aristotle or Euclid, to some critics has appeared as mad;
+and must appear so to all who enjoy no portion of his own divine spirit.
+Dwarf understandings, measuring others by their own standard, are apt to
+think they see a monster, when they see a man.
+
+And indeed it seems to be the amends which nature makes to those whom she
+has not blessed with an elevation of mind, to indulge them in the
+comfortable mistake, that all is wrong, which falls not within the narrow
+limits of their own comprehensions and relish.
+
+Judgment, indeed, that masculine power of the mind, in ode, as in all
+compositions, should bear the supreme sway; and a beautiful imagination,
+as its mistress, should be subdued to its dominion. Hence, and hence only,
+can proceed the fairest offspring of the human mind.
+
+But then in ode, there is this difference from other kinds of poetry;
+that, there, the imagination, like a very beautiful mistress, is indulged
+in the appearance of domineering; though the judgment, like an artful
+lover, in reality carries its point; and the less it is suspected of it,
+it shows the more masterly conduct, and deserves the greater commendation.
+
+It holds true in this province of writing, as in war, "The more danger;
+the more honour." It must be very enterprising: it must, in Shakespeare's
+style, have hairbreadth 'scapes; and often tread the very brink of error:
+nor can it ever deserve the applause of the real judge, unless it renders
+itself obnoxious to the misapprehensions of the contrary.
+
+Such is Casimire's strain among the moderns, whose lively wit, and happy
+fire, is an honour to them. And Buchanan might justly be much admired, if
+any thing more than the sweetness of his numbers, and the purity of his
+diction, were his own: his original, from which I have taken my motto,
+through all the disadvantages of a northern prose translation, is still
+admirable; and, Cowley says, as preferable in beauty to Buchanan, as Judaea
+is to Scotland.
+
+Pindar, Anacreon, Sappho, and Horace, are the great masters of lyric
+poetry among Heathen writers. Pindar's muse, like Sacharissa, is a
+stately, imperious, and accomplished beauty; equally disdaining the use of
+art, and the fear of any rival; so intoxicating that it was the highest
+commendation that could be given an ancient, that he was not afraid to
+taste of her charms;
+
+
+      Pindarici fontis qui non expalluit haustus;
+
+
+a danger which Horace declares he durst not run.
+
+Anacreon's Muse is like Amoret, most sweet, natural, and delicate; all
+over flowers, graces, and charms; inspiring complacency, not awe; and she
+seems to have good nature enough to admit a rival, which she cannot find.
+
+Sappho's Muse, like Lady ----, is passionately tender, and glowing; like oil
+set on fire, she is soft, and warm, in excess. Sappho has left us a few
+fragments only; time has swallowed the rest; but that little which
+remains, like the remaining jewel of Cleopatra, after the other was
+dissolved at her banquet, may be esteemed (as was that jewel) a sufficient
+ornament for the goddess of beauty herself.
+
+Horace's Muse (like one I shall not presume to name) is correct, solid,
+and moral; she joins all the sweetness and majesty, all the sense and the
+fire of the former, in the justest proportions and degrees; superadding a
+felicity of dress entirely her own. She moreover is distinguishable by
+this particularity, that she abounds in hidden graces, and secret charms,
+which none but the discerning can discover; nor are any capable of doing
+full justice, in their opinion to her excellencies, without giving the
+world, at the same time, an incontestable proof of refinement in their own
+understandings.
+
+But, after all, to the honour of our own country I must add, that I think
+Mr. Dryden's Ode on St. Cecilia's Day inferior to no composition of this
+kind. Its chief beauty consists in adapting the numbers most happily to
+the variety of the occasion. Those by which he has chosen to express
+majesty, (viz.)
+
+
+        Assumes the God,
+        Affects to nod,
+      And seems to shake the spheres,
+
+
+are chosen in the following ode, because the subject of it is great.
+
+For the more harmony likewise, I chose the frequent return of rhyme; which
+laid me under great difficulties. But difficulties overcome give grace and
+pleasure. Nor can I account for the pleasure of rhyme in general (of which
+the moderns are too fond) but from this truth.
+
+But then the writer must take care that the difficulty is overcome. That
+is, he must make rhyme consistent with as perfect sense, and expression,
+as could be expected if he was free from that shackle. Otherwise, it gives
+neither grace to the work, nor pleasure to the reader, nor, consequently,
+reputation to the poet.
+
+To sum the whole: ode should be peculiar, but not strained; moral, but not
+flat; natural, but not obvious; delicate, but not affected; noble, but not
+ambitious; full, but not obscure; fiery, but not mad; thick, but not
+loaded in its numbers, which should be most harmonious, without the least
+sacrifice of expression, or of sense. Above all, in this, as in every work
+of genius, somewhat of an original spirit should be, at least attempted;
+otherwise the poet, whose character disclaims mediocrity, makes a
+secondary praise his ultimate ambition; which has something of a
+contradiction in it. Originals only have true life, and differ as much
+from the best imitations, as men from the most animated pictures of them.
+Nor is what I say at all inconsistent with a due deference for the great
+standards of antiquity; nay, that very deference is an argument for it,
+for doubtless their example is on my side in this matter. And we should
+rather imitate their example in the general motives, and fundamental
+methods of their working, than in their works themselves. This is a
+distinction, I think, not hitherto made, and a distinction of consequence.
+For the first may make us their equals; the second must pronounce us their
+inferiors even in our utmost success. But the first of these prizes is not
+so readily taken by the moderns; as valuables too massy for easy carriage
+are not so liable to the thief.
+
+The ancients had a particular regard to the choice of their subjects;
+which were generally national and great. My subject is, in its own nature,
+noble; most proper for an Englishman; never more proper than on this
+occasion; and (what is strange) hitherto unsung.
+
+If I stand not absolutely condemned by my own rules; if I have hit the
+spirit of ode in general; if I cannot think with Mr. Cowley, that "Music
+alone, sometimes, makes an excellent ode;"
+
+
+      Versus inopes rerum, nugaeque canorae;
+
+
+if there is any thought, enthusiasm, and picture, which are as the body,
+soul, and robe of poetry; in a word, if in any degree I have provided
+rather food for men, than air for wits; I hope smaller faults will meet
+indulgence for the sake of the design, which is the glory of my country
+and my king.
+
+And indeed, this may be said, in general, that great subjects are above
+being nice; that dignity and spirit ever suffer from scrupulous exactness;
+And that the minuter cares effeminate a composition. Great masters of
+poetry, painting, and statuary, in their nobler works, have even affected
+the contrary: and justly; for a truly masculine air partakes more of the
+negligent, than of the neat, both in writings, and in life--
+
+
+      Grandis oratio haberet majestatis suae pondus.
+
+                                                              --PETRON.
+
+
+A poem, like a criminal, under too severe correction, may lose all its
+spirit, and expire. We know it was Faberrimus, that was such an artist at
+a hair or a nail. And we know the cause was
+
+
+      Quia ponere totum
+      Nescius.
+
+                                                                  HOR.
+
+
+To close: if a piece of this nature wants an apology, I must own, that
+those who have strength of mind sufficient profitably to devote the whole
+of their time to the severer studies, I despair of imitating, I can only
+envy and admire. The mind is relieved and strengthened by variety; and he
+that sometimes is sporting with his pen, is only taking the most effectual
+means of giving a general importance to it. This truth is clear from the
+knowledge of human nature, and of history; from which I could cite very
+celebrated instances, did I not fear that, by citing them, I should
+condemn myself, who am so little qualified to follow their example in its
+full extent.

+
+
+    Sweet rural scene!
+    Of flocks and green!
+  At careless ease my limbs are spread;
+    All nature still,
+    But yonder rill;
+  And list'ning pines nod o'er my head:
+
+    In prospect wide,
+    The boundless tide!
+  Waves cease to foam, and winds to roar;
+    Without a breeze,
+    The curling seas
+  Dance on, in measure to the shore.
+
+    Who sings the source
+    Of wealth and force?
+  Vast field of commerce, and big war,
+    Where wonders dwell!
+    Where terrors swell!
+  And Neptune thunders from his car?
+
+    Where? where are they,
+    Whom Paean's ray
+  Has touch'd, and bid divinely rave?--
+  What! none aspire?
+    I snatch the lyre,
+  And plunge into the foaming wave.
+
+    The wave resounds!
+    The rock rebounds!
+  The Nereids to my song reply!
+    I lead the choir,
+    And they conspire,
+  With voice and shell, to lift it high.
+
+    They spread in air
+    Their bosoms fair,
+  Their verdant tresses pour behind:
+    The billows beat
+    With nimble feet,
+  With notes triumphant swell the wind.
+
+    Who love the shore,
+    Let those adore
+  The god Apollo, and his Nine,
+    Parnassus' hill,
+    And Orpheus' skill;
+  But let Arion's harp be mine.
+
+    The main! the main!
+    Is Britain's reign;
+  Her strength, her glory, is her fleet:
+    The main! the main!
+    Be Britain's strain;
+  As Tritons strong, as Syrens sweet.
+
+  Thro' nature wide
+    Is nought descried
+  So rich in pleasure or surprise;
+    When all-serene,
+    How sweet the scene!
+  How dreadful, when the billows rise;
+
+    And storms deface
+    The fluid glass,
+  In which erewhile Britannia fair
+    Look'd down with pride,
+    Like Ocean's bride,
+  Adjusting her majestic air!
+
+    When tempests cease,
+    And, hush'd in peace,
+  The flatten'd surges smoothly spread,
+    Deep silence keep,
+    And seem to sleep
+  Recumbent on their oozy bed;
+
+    With what a trance,
+    The level glance,
+  Unbroken, shoots along the seas!
+    Which tempt from shore
+    The painted oar;
+  And every canvass courts the breeze!
+
+    When rushes forth
+    The frowning north
+  On black'ning billows, with what dread
+  My shuddering soul
+    Beholds them roll,
+  And hears their roarings o'er my head!
+
+    With terror mark
+    Yon flying bark!
+  Now center-deep descend the brave;
+    Now, toss'd on high,
+    It takes the sky,
+  A feather on the tow'ring wave!
+
+    Now spins around
+    In whirls profound:
+  Now whelm'd; now pendant near the clouds;
+    Now stunn'd, it reels
+    'Midst thunder's peals:
+  And now fierce lightning fires the shrouds.
+
+    All ether burns!
+    Chaos returns!
+  And blends, once more, the seas and skies:
+    No space between
+    Thy bosom green,
+  O deep! and the blue concave, lies.
+
+    The northern blast,
+    The shatter'd mast,
+  The syrt, the whirlpool, and the rock,
+    The breaking spout,
+    The stars gone out,
+  The boiling streight, the monsters shock,
+
+    Let others fear;
+    To Britain dear
+  Whate'er promotes her daring claim;
+    Those terrors charm,
+    Which keep her warm
+  In chase of honest gain, or fame.
+
+    The stars are bright
+    To cheer the night,
+  And shed, thro' shadows, temper'd fire;
+    And Phoebus' flames,
+    With burnish'd beams,
+  Which some adore, and all admire.
+
+    Are then the seas
+    Outshone by these?
+  Bright Thetis! thou art not outshone;
+    With kinder beams,
+    And softer gleams,
+  Thy bosom wears them as thy own.
+
+    There, set in green,
+    Gold stars are seen,
+  A mantle rich! thy charms to wrap;
+    And when the sun
+    His race has run,
+  He falls enamour'd in thy lap.
+
+    Those clouds, whose dyes
+    Adorn the skies,
+  That silver snow, that pearly rain,
+    Has Phoebus stole
+    To grace the pole,
+  The plunder of th' invaded main!
+
+    The gaudy bow,
+    Whose colours glow,
+  Whose arch with so much skill is bent,
+    To Phoebus' ray,
+    Which paints so gay,
+  By thee the wat'ry woof was lent.
+
+    In chambers deep,
+    Where waters sleep,
+  What unknown treasures pave the floor!
+    The pearl, in rows,
+    Pale lustre throws;
+  The wealth immense, which storms devour.
+
+    From Indian mines,
+    With proud designs,
+  The merchant, swoln, digs golden ore;
+    The tempests rise,
+    And seize the prize,
+  And toss him breathless on the shore.
+
+    His son complains
+    In pious strains,
+  "Ah cruel thirst of gold!" he cries;
+    Then ploughs the main,
+    In zeal for gain,
+  The tears yet swelling in his eyes.
+
+    Thou wat'ry vast!
+    What mounds are cast
+  To bar thy dreadful flowings o'er!
+    Thy proudest foam
+    Must know its home;
+  But rage of gold disdains a shore.
+
+    Gold pleasure buys;
+    But pleasure dies,
+  Too soon the gross fruition cloys;
+    Tho' raptures court,
+    The sense is short;
+  But virtue kindles living joys;
+
+    Joys felt alone!
+    Joys ask'd of none!
+  Which time's and fortune's arrows miss:
+    Joys that subsist,
+    Tho' fates resist,
+  An unprecarious, endless bliss!
+
+    The soul refin'd
+    Is most inclin'd
+  To every moral excellence;
+    All vice is dull,
+    A knave's a fool;
+  And virtue is the child of sense.
+
+    The virtuous mind,
+    Nor wave, nor wind,
+  Nor civil rage, nor tyrant's frown,
+    The shaken ball,
+    Nor planet's fall,
+  From its firm basis can dethrone.
+
+    This Britain knows,
+    And therefore glows
+  With gen'rous passions, and expends
+    Her wealth and zeal
+    On public weal,
+  And brightens both by god-like ends.
+
+    What end so great
+    As that which late
+  Awoke the genius of the main;
+    Which tow'ring rose
+    With George to close,
+  And rival great Eliza's reign?
+
+    A voice has flown
+    From Britain's throne
+  To re-inflame a grand design;
+    That voice shall rear
+    Yon (23)fabric fair,
+  As nature's rose at the divine.
+
+    When nature sprung,
+    Blest angels sung,
+  And shouted o'er the rising ball;
+    For strains as high
+    As man's can fly,
+  These sea-devoted honours call.
+
+    From boist'rous seas,
+    The lap of ease
+  Receives our wounded, and our old;
+    High domes ascend!
+    Stretch'd arches bend!
+  Proud columns swell! wide gates unfold!
+
+    Here, soft reclin'd,
+    From wave, from wind,
+  And fortune's tempest safe ashore,
+    To cheat their care,
+    Of former war
+  They talk the pleasing shadows o'er.
+
+    In lengthen'd tales,
+    Our fleet prevails;
+  In tales the lenitives of age!
+    And o'er the bowl,
+    They fire the soul
+  Of list'ning youth, to martial rage.
+
+    Unhappy they!
+    And falsely gay!
+  Who bask for ever in success;
+    A constant feast
+    Quite palls the taste,
+  And long enjoyment is distress.
+
+    When, after toil,
+    His native soil
+  The panting mariner regains,
+    What transport flows
+    From bare repose!
+  We reap our pleasure from our pains.
+
+    Ye warlike slain!
+    Beneath the main,
+  Wrapt in a wat'ry winding sheet;
+    Who bought with blood
+    Your country's good,
+  Your country's (24)full-blown glory greet.
+
+    What pow'rful charm
+    Can death disarm?
+  Your long, your iron slumbers break?
+    By Jove, by Fame,
+    By George's name,
+  Awake! awake! awake! awake!
+
+    With spiral shell,
+    Full blasted, tell,
+  That all your wat'ry realms should ring;
+    Your pearl alcoves,
+    Your coral groves,
+  Should echo theirs, and Britain's king.
+
+    As long as stars
+    Guide mariners,
+  As Carolina's virtues please,
+    Or suns invite
+    The ravish'd sight,
+  The British flag shall sweep the seas.
+
+    Peculiar both!
+    Our soil's strong growth,
+  And our bold natives' hardy mind;
+    Sure heaven bespoke
+    Our hearts and oak,
+  To give a master to mankind.
+
+    That noblest birth
+    Of teeming earth,
+  Of forests fair, that daughter proud,
+    To foreign coasts
+    Our grandeur boasts,
+  And Britain's pleasure speaks aloud:
+
+    Now big with war,
+    Sends fate from far,
+  If rebel realms their fate demand,
+    Now, sumptuous spoils
+    Of foreign soils
+  Pours in the bosom of our land.
+
+    Hence Britain lays
+    In scales, and weighs
+  The fate of kingdoms, and of kings;
+    And as she frowns,
+    Or smiles, on crowns
+  A night, or day of glory, springs.
+
+    Thus ocean swells
+    The streams and rills,
+  And to their borders lifts them high;
+    Or else withdraws
+    The mighty cause,
+  And leaves their famish'd channels dry.
+
+    How mixt, how frail,
+    How sure to fail,
+  Is every pleasure of mankind!
+    A damp destroys
+    My blooming joys,
+  While Britain's glory fires my mind.
+
+    For who can gaze
+    On restless seas,
+  Unstruck with life's more restless state?
+    Where all are tost,
+    And most are lost,
+  By tides of passion, blasts of fate?
+
+    The world's the main,
+    How vext! how vain!
+  Ambition swells, and anger foams;
+    May good men find,
+    Beneath the wind,
+  A noiseless shore, unruffled homes!
+
+    The public scene
+    Of harden'd men
+  Teach me, O teach me to despise!
+    The world few know
+    But to their woe,
+  Our crimes with our experience rise;
+
+    All tender sense
+    Is banish'd thence,
+  All maiden nature's first alarms
+    What shock'd before
+    Disgust no more,
+  And what disgusted has its charms.
+
+    In landscapes green
+    True bliss is seen,
+  With innocence, in shades, she sports;
+    In wealthy towns
+    Proud labour frowns,
+  And painted sorrow smiles in courts.
+
+    These scenes untried
+    Seduc'd my pride,
+  To fortune's arrows bar'd my breast;
+    Till wisdom came,
+    A hoary dame!
+  And told me pleasure was in rest.
+
+    "O may I steal
+    Along the vale
+  Of humble life, secure from foes!
+    My friend sincere!
+    My judgment clear!
+  And gentle business my repose!
+
+    "My mind be strong
+    To combat wrong!
+  Grateful, O king! for favours shown!
+    Soft to complain
+    For others' pain!
+  And bold to triumph o'er my own!
+
+    "(When fortune's kind)
+    Acute to find,
+  And warm to relish every boon!
+    And wise to still
+    Fantastic ill,
+  Whose frightful spectres stalk at noon!
+
+    "No fruitless toils!
+    No brainless broils!
+  Each moment levell'd at the mark!
+    Our day so short
+    Invites to sport;
+  Be sad and solemn when 'tis dark.
+
+    "Yet, prudence, still
+    Rein thou my will!
+  What's most important, make most dear!
+    For 'tis in this
+    Resides true bliss;
+  True bliss, a deity severe!
+
+    "When temper leans
+    To gayer scenes,

+  Or song unbend my mind from cares!
+
+    "Nor shun, my soul!
+    The genial bowl,
+  Where mirth, good nature, spirit, flow!

+
+    "Though rich the vine,
+    More wit than wine,
+  More sense than wit, good-will than art,

+               A PARAPHRASE ON PART OF THE BOOK OF JOB.(25)
+
+
+ To the Right Honourable Thomas Lord Parker, Baron of Macclesfield, Lord
+               High Chancellor of Great Britain, etc. etc.
+
+
+My Lord,
+
+Though I have not the honour of being known to your lordship, I presume to
+take a privilege which men of retirement are apt to think themselves in
+possession of, as being the only method they have of making their way to
+persons of your lordship's high station without struggling through
+multitudes for access. I may possibly fail in my respect to your lordship,
+even while I endeavour to show it most; but if I err, it is because I
+imagined I ought not to make my first approach to one of your lordship's
+exalted character with less ceremony than that of a dedication. It is
+annexed to the condition of eminent merit, not to suffer more from the
+malice of its enemies, than from the importunity of its admirers; and
+perhaps it would be unjust, that your lordship should hope to be exempted
+from the troubles, when you possess all the talents, of a patron.
+
+I have here a fair occasion to celebrate those sublime qualities, of which
+a whole nation is sensible, were it not inconsistent with the design of my
+present application. By the just discharge of your great employments, your
+lordship may well deserve the prayers of the distressed, the thanks of
+your country, and the approbation of your royal master: this indeed is a
+reason why every good Briton should applaud your lordship; but it is
+equally a reason why none should disturb you in the execution of your
+important affairs by works of fancy and amusement. I was therefore induced
+to make this address to your lordship, by considering you rather in the
+amiable light of a person distinguished for a refined taste of the polite
+arts, and the candour that usually attends it, than in the dignity of your
+public character.
+
+The greatness and solemnity of the subjects treated of in the following
+work cannot fail in some measure to recommend it to a person who holds in
+the utmost veneration those sacred books from which it is taken; and would
+at the same time justify to the world my choice of the great name prefixed
+to it, could I be assured that the undertaking had not suffered in my
+hands. Thus much I think myself obliged to say; that if this little
+performance had not been very indulgently spoken of by some, whose
+judgment is universally allowed in writings of this nature, I had not
+dared to gratify my ambition in offering it to your lordship: I am
+sensible that I am endeavouring to excuse one vanity by another; but I
+hope I shall meet with pardon for it, since it is visibly intended to show
+the great submission and respect with which I am, my lord, your lordship's
+most obedient and most humble servant,
+
+                                                             EDWARD YOUNG.
+
+  Thrice happy Job(26) long liv'd in regal state,
+  Nor saw the sumptuous East a prince so great;
+  Whose worldly stores in such abundance flow'd,
+  Whose heart with such exalted virtue glow'd.
+  At length misfortunes take their turn to reign,
+  And ills on ills succeed; a dreadful train!
+  What now but deaths, and poverty, and wrong,
+  The sword wide-wasting, the reproachful tongue,
+  And spotted plagues, that mark'd his limbs all o'er
+  So thick with pains, they wanted room for more?
+  A change so sad what mortal heart could bear?
+  Exhausted woe had left him nought to fear;
+  But gave him all to grief. Low earth he prest,
+  Wept in the dust, and sorely smote his breast.
+  His friends around the deep affliction mourn'd,
+  Felt all his pangs, and groan for groan return'd;
+  In anguish of their hearts their mantles rent,
+  And seven long days in solemn silence spent;
+  A debt of rev'rence to distress so great!
+  Then Job contain'd no more; but cursed his fate.
+  His day of birth, its inauspicious light
+  He wishes sunk in shades of endless night,
+  And blotted from the year; nor fears to crave
+  Death, instant death; impatient for the grave,
+  That seat of bliss, that mansion of repose,
+  Where rest and mortals are no longer foes;
+  Where counsellors are hush'd, and mighty kings
+  (O happy turn!) no more are wretched things.
+    His words were daring, and displeas'd his friends;
+  His conduct they reprove, and he defends;
+  And now they kindled into warm debate,
+  And sentiments oppos'd with equal heat;
+  Fix'd in opinion, both refuse to yield,
+  And summon all their reason to the field:
+  So high at length their arguments were wrought,
+  They reach'd the last extent of human thought:
+  A pause ensu'd.--When, lo! Heaven interpos'd,
+  And awfully the long contention clos'd.
+  Full o'er their heads, with terrible surprise,
+  A sudden whirlwind blacken'd all the skies:
+  (They saw, and trembled!(27)) From the darkness broke
+  A dreadful voice, and thus th' Almighty spoke.
+    Who gives his tongue a loose so bold and vain,
+  Censures my conduct, and reproves my reign?
+  Lifts up his thoughts against me from the dust,
+  And tells the world's Creator what is just?
+  Of late so brave, now lift a dauntless eye,
+  Face my demand, and give it a reply:
+  Where didst thou dwell at nature's early birth?
+  Who laid foundations for the spacious earth?
+  Who on its surface did extend the line,
+  Its form determine, and its bulk confine?
+  Who fix'd the corner-stone? What hand, declare,
+  Hung it on nought, and fasten'd it on air;
+  When the bright morning stars in concert sung,
+  When heaven's high arch with loud hosannas rung;
+  When shouting sons of God the triumph crown'd,
+  And the wide concave thunder'd with the sound?
+  Earth's num'rous kingdoms, hast thou view'd them all?
+  And can thy span of knowledge grasp the ball?
+  Who heav'd the mountain, which sublimely stands,
+  And casts its shadow into distant lands?
+    Who, stretching forth his sceptre o'er the deep,
+  Can that wide world in due subjection keep?
+  I broke the globe, I scoop'd its hollow'd side,
+  And did a bason for the floods provide;
+  I chain'd them with my word; the boiling sea,
+  Work'd up in tempests, hears my great decree;
+  "(28)Thus far, thy floating tide shall be convey'd;
+  And here, O main, be thy proud billows stay'd."
+  Hast thou explor'd the secrets of the deep,
+  Where, shut from use, unnumber'd treasures sleep?
+  Where, down a thousand fathoms from the day,
+  Springs the great fountain, mother of the sea?
+  Those gloomy paths did thy bold foot e'er tread,
+  Whole worlds of waters rolling o'er thy head?
+    Hath the cleft centre open'd wide to thee?
+  Death's inmost chambers didst thou ever see?
+  E'er knock at his tremendous gate, and wade
+  To the black portal through th' incumbent shade?
+  Deep are those shades; but shades still deeper hide
+  My counsels from the ken of human pride.
+    Where dwells the light? In what refulgent dome?
+  And where has darkness made her dismal home?
+  Thou know'st, no doubt, since thy large heart is fraught
+  With ripen'd wisdom, through long ages brought;
+  Since nature was call'd forth when thou wast by,
+  And into being rose beneath thine eye!
+    Are mists begotten? Who their father knew?
+  From whom descend the pearly drops of dew?
+  To bind the stream by night, what hand can boast,
+  Or whiten morning with the hoary frost?
+  Whose powerful breath, from northern regions blown,
+  Touches the sea, and turns it into stone?
+  The like spirit in these two passages is no bad concurrent
+  argument, that Moses is author of the book of Job.]
+  A sudden desart spreads o'er realms defac'd,
+  And lays one half of the creation waste?
+    Thou know'st me not; thy blindness cannot see
+  How vast a distance parts thy God from thee.
+  Canst thou in whirlwinds mount aloft? Canst thou
+  In clouds and darkness wrap thy awful brow?
+  And, when day triumphs in meridian light,
+  Put forth thy hand, and shade the world with night?
+    Who launch'd the clouds in air, and bid them roll
+  Suspended seas aloft, from pole to pole?
+  Who can refresh the burning sandy plain,
+  And quench the summer with a waste of rain?
+  Who, in rough desarts, far from human toil,
+  Made rocks bring forth, and desolation smile?
+  There blooms the rose, where human face ne'er shone,
+  And spreads its beauties to the sun alone.
+    To check the shower, who lifts his hand on high,
+  And shuts the sluices of th' exhausted sky
+  When earth no longer mourns her gaping veins,
+  Her naked mountains, and her russet plains;
+  But, new in life, a cheerful prospect yields
+  Of shining rivers, and of verdant fields;
+  When groves and forests lavish all their bloom,
+  And earth and heaven are fill'd with rich perfume?
+    Hast thou e'er scal'd my wintry skies, and seen
+  Of hail and snows my northern magazine?
+  These the dread treasures of mine anger are,
+  My funds of vengeance for the day of war,
+  When clouds rain death, and storms, at my command,
+  Rage through the world, or waste a guilty land.
+    Who taught the rapid winds to fly so fast,
+  Or shakes the centre with his eastern blast?
+  Who from the skies can a whole deluge pour?
+  Who strikes through nature with the solemn roar
+  Of dreadful thunder, points it where to fall,
+  And in fierce lightning wraps the flying ball?
+  Not he who trembles at the darted fires,
+  Falls at the sound, and in the flash expires.
+    Who drew the comet out to such a size,
+  And pour'd his flaming train o'er half the skies?
+  Did thy resentment hang him out? Does he
+  Glare on the nations, and denounce, from thee?
+    Who on low earth can moderate the rein,
+  That guides the stars along th' ethereal plain?
+  Appoint their seasons, and direct their course,
+  Their lustre brighten, and supply their force?
+  Canst thou the skies' benevolence restrain,
+  And cause the Pleiades to shine in vain?
+  Or, when Orion sparkles from his sphere,
+  Thaw the cold season, and unbind the year?
+  Bid Mazzaroth his destin'd station know,
+  And teach the bright Arcturus where to glow?
+  Mine is the night, with all her stars; I pour
+  Myriads, and myriads I reserve in store.
+    Dost thou pronounce where day-light shall be born,
+  And draw the purple curtain of the morn;
+  Awake the sun, and bid him come away,
+  And glad thy world with his obsequious ray?
+  Hast thou, inthron'd in flaming glory, driven
+  Triumphant round the spacious ring of heaven?
+  That pomp of light, what hand so far displays,
+  That distant earth lies basking in the blaze?
+    Who did the soul with her rich powers invest,
+  And light up reason in the human breast?
+  To shine, with fresh increase of lustre, bright,
+  When stars and sun are set in endless night?
+  To these my various questions make reply.
+  Th' Almighty spoke; and, speaking, shook the sky.
+    What then, Chaldaean sire, was thy surprise!
+  Thus thou, with trembling heart, and downcast eyes:
+  "Once and again, which I in groans deplore,
+  My tongue has err'd; but shall presume no more.
+  My voice is in eternal silence bound,
+  And all my soul falls prostrate to the ground."
+    He ceas'd: when, lo! again th' Almighty spoke;
+  The same dread voice from the black whirlwind broke.
+    Can that arm measure with an arm divine?
+  And canst thou thunder with a voice like mine?
+  Or in the hollow of thy hand contain
+  The bulk of waters, the wide-spreading main,
+  When, mad with tempests, all the billows rise
+  In all their rage, and dash the distant skies?
+    Come forth, in beauty's excellence array'd;
+  And be the grandeur of thy power display'd;
+  Put on omnipotence, and, frowning, make
+  The spacious round of the creation shake;
+  Dispatch thy vengeance, bid it overthow
+  Triumphant vice, lay lofty tyrants low,
+  And crumble them to dust. When this is done,
+  I grant thy safety lodg'd in thee alone;
+  Of thee thou art, and mayst undaunted stand
+  Behind the buckler of thine own right hand.
+    Fond man! the vision of a moment made!
+  Dream of a dream! and shadow of a shade!
+  What worlds hast thou produc'd, what creatures fram'd,
+  What insects cherish'd, that thy God is blam'd?
+  When (29)pain'd with hunger, the wild raven's brood
+  Loud calls on God, importunate for food,
+  Who hears their cry, who grants their hoarse request,
+  And stills the clamour of the craving nest?
+    Who in the stupid ostrich(30) has subdu'd
+  A parent's care, and fond inquietude?
+  While far she flies, her scatter'd eggs are found,
+  Without an owner, on the sandy ground;
+  Cast out on fortune, they at mercy lie,
+  And borrow life from an indulgent sky;
+  Adopted by the sun, in blaze of day,
+  They ripen under his prolific ray.
+  Unmindful she, that some unhappy tread
+  May crush her young in their neglected bed.
+  (31)What time she skims along the field with speed,
+  (32)She scorns the rider, and pursuing steed.
+  How rich the peacock!(33) what bright glories run
+  From plume to plume, and vary in the sun!
+  He proudly spreads them, to the golden ray
+  Gives all his colours, and adorns the day;
+  With conscious state the specious round displays,
+  And slowly moves amid the waving blaze.
+    Who taught the hawk to find, in seasons wise,
+  Perpetual summer, and a change of skies?
+  When clouds deform the year, she mounts the wind,
+  Shoots to the south, nor fears the storm behind;
+  The sun returning, she returns again,
+  Lives in his beams, and leaves ill days to men.
+    Tho' strong the hawk,(34) tho' practis'd well to fly,
+  An eagle drops her in a lower sky;
+  An eagle, when, deserting human sight,
+  She seeks the sun in her unwearied flight:
+  Did thy command her yellow pinion lift
+  So high in air, and set her on the clift,
+  Where far above thy world she dwells alone,
+  And proudly makes the strength of rocks her own;
+  (35)Thence wide o'er nature takes her dread survey,
+  And with a glance predestinates her prey?
+  She feasts her young with blood; and, hov'ring o'er
+  Th' unslaughter'd host, enjoys the promis'd gore.
+    (36)Know'st thou how many moons, by me assign'd,
+  Roll o'er the mountain goat, and forest hind,
+  While pregnant they a mother's load sustain?
+  They bend in anguish, and cast forth their pain.
+  Hale are their young, from human frailties freed;
+  Walk unsustain'd, and unassisted feed;
+  They live at once; forsake the dam's warm side;
+  Take the wide world, with nature for their guide;
+  Bound o'er the lawn, or seek the distant glade;
+  And find a home in each delightful shade.
+    Will the tall reem, which knows no lord but me,
+  Low at the crib, and ask an alms of thee;
+  Submit his unworn shoulder to the yoke,
+  Break the stiff clod, and o'er thy furrow smoke?
+  Since great his strength, go trust him, void of care;
+  Lay on his neck the toil of all the year;
+  Bid him bring home the seasons to thy doors,
+  And cast his load among thy gather'd stores.
+    Didst thou from service the wild ass discharge,
+  And break his bonds, and bid him live at large,
+  Through the wide waste, his ample mansion, roam,
+  And lose himself in his unbounded home?
+  By nature's hand magnificently fed,
+  His meal is on the range of mountains spread;
+  As in pure air aloft he bounds along,
+  He sees in distant smoke the city throng;
+  Conscious of freedom, scorns the smother'd train,
+  The threat'ning driver, and the servile rein.
+    Survey the warlike horse! didst thou invest
+  With thunder his robust distended chest?
+  No sense of fear his dauntless soul allays;
+  'Tis dreadful to behold his nostrils blaze;
+  To paw the vale he proudly takes delight,
+  And triumphs in the fulness of his might;
+  High rais'd he snuffs the battle from afar,
+  And burns to plunge amid the raging war;
+  And mocks at death, and throws his foam around,
+  And in a storm of fury shakes the ground.
+  How does his firm, his rising heart, advance
+  Full on the brandish'd sword, and shaken lance;
+  While his fix'd eyeballs meet the dazzling shield,
+  Gaze, and return the lightning of the field!
+  He sinks the sense of pain in gen'rous pride,
+  Nor feels the shaft that trembles in his side;
+  But neighs to the shrill trumpet's dreadful blast
+  Till death; and when he groans, he groans his last.
+    But, fiercer still, the lordly lion stalks,
+  Grimly majestic in his lonely walks;
+  When round he glares, all living creatures fly;
+  He clears the desart with his rolling eye.
+  Say, mortal, does he rouse at thy command,
+  And roar to thee, and live upon thy hand?
+  Dost thou for him in forests bend thy bow,
+  And to his gloomy den the morsel throw,
+  Where bent on death lie hid his tawny brood,
+  And, couch'd in dreadful ambush, pant for blood;
+  Or, stretch'd on broken limbs, consume the day,
+  In darkness wrapt, and slumber o'er their prey?
+  (37)By the pale moon they take their destin'd round,
+  And lash their sides, and furious tear the ground.
+  Now shrieks, and dying groans, the desart fill;
+  They rage, they rend; their rav'nous jaws distill
+  With crimson foam; and, when the banquet's o'er,
+  They stride away, and paint their steps with gore;
+  In flight alone the shepherd puts his trust,
+  And shudders at the talon in the dust.
+    Mild is my behemoth, though large his frame;
+  Smooth is his temper, and represt his flame,
+  While unprovok'd. This native of the flood
+  Lifts his broad foot, and puts ashore for food;
+  Earth sinks beneath him, as he moves along
+  To seek the herbs, and mingle with the throng.
+  See with what strength his harden'd loins are bound,
+  All over proof and shut against a wound.
+  How like a mountain cedar moves his tail!
+  Nor can his complicated sinews fail.
+  Built high and wide, his solid bones surpass
+  The bars of steel; his ribs are ribs of brass;
+  His port majestic, and his armed jaw,
+  Give the wide forest, and the mountain, law.
+  The mountains feed him; there the beasts admire
+  The mighty stranger, and in dread retire:
+  At length his greatness nearer they survey,
+  Graze in his shadow, and his eye obey.
+  The fens and marshes are his cool retreat,
+  His noontide shelter from the burning heat;
+  Their sedgy bosoms his wide couch are made,
+  And groves of willows give him all their shade.
+    His eye drinks Jordan up, when, fir'd with drought,
+  He trusts to turn its current down his throat;
+  In lessen'd waves it creeps along the plain:
+  (38)He sinks a river, and he thirsts again.
+  (39)Go to the Nile, and, from its fruitful side,
+  Cast forth thy line into the swelling tide:
+  With slender hair leviathan command,
+  And stretch his vastness on the loaded strand.
+  Will he become thy servant? Will he own
+  Thy lordly nod, and tremble at thy frown?
+  Or with his sport amuse thy leisure day,
+  And, bound in silk, with thy soft maidens play?
+    Shall pompous banquets swell with such a prize?
+  And the bowl journey round his ample size?
+  Or the debating merchants share the prey,
+  And various limbs to various marts convey?
+  Thro' his firm skull what steel its way can win?
+  What forceful engine can subdue his skin?
+  Fly far, and live; tempt not his matchless might:
+  The bravest shrink to cowards in his sight;
+  (40)The rashest dare not rouse him up: Who then
+  Shall turn on me, among the sons of men?
+    Am I a debtor? Hast thou ever heard
+  Whence come the gifts that are on me conferr'd?
+  My lavish fruit a thousand valleys fills,
+  And mine the herds, that graze a thousand hills:
+  Earth, sea, and air, all nature is my own;
+  And stars and sun are dust beneath my throne.
+  And dar'st thou with the world's great Father vie,
+  Thou, who dost tremble at my creature's eye?
+    At full my huge leviathan shall rise,
+  Boast all his strength, and spread his wondrous size.
+  Who, great in arms, e'er stripp'd his shining mail,
+  Or crown'd his triumph with a single scale?
+  Whose heart sustains him to draw near? (41)Behold,
+  Destruction yawns; his spacious jaws unfold,
+  And, marshall'd round the wide expanse, disclose
+  Teeth edg'd with death, and crowding rows on rows:
+  What hideous fangs on either side arise!
+  And what a deep abyss between them lies!
+  Mete with thy lance, and with thy plummet sound,
+  The one how long, the other how profound.
+    His bulk is charg'd with such a furious soul,
+  That clouds of smoke from his spread nostrils roll,
+  As from a furnace; and, when rous'd his ire,
+  (42)Fate issues from his jaws in streams of fire.
+  The rage of tempests, and the roar of seas,
+  Thy terror, this thy great superior please;
+  Strength on his ample shoulder sits in state;
+  His well-join'd limbs are dreadfully complete;
+  His flakes of solid flesh are slow to part;
+  As steel his nerves, as adamant his heart.
+    When, late awak'd, he rears him from the floods,
+  And, stretching forth his stature to the clouds,
+  Writhes in the sun aloft his scaly height,
+  And strikes the distant hills with transient light,
+  Far round are fatal damps of terror spread,
+  The mighty fear, nor blush to own their dread.
+    (43)Large is his front; and, when his burnish'd eyes
+  Lift their broad lids, the morning seems to rise.
+  In vain may death in various shapes invade,
+  The swift-wing'd arrow, the descending blade;
+  His naked breast their impotence defies;
+  The dart rebounds, the brittle fauchion flies.
+  Shut in himself, the war without he hears,
+  Safe in the tempest of their rattling spears;
+  The cumber'd strand their wasted volleys strow;
+  His sport, the rage and labour of the foe.
+    His pastimes like a cauldron boil the flood,
+  And blacken ocean with the rising mud;
+  The billows feel him, as he works his way;
+  His hoary footsteps shine along the sea;
+  The foam high-wrought, with white divides the green,
+  And distant sailors point where death has been.
+    His like earth bears not on her spacious face:
+  Alone in nature stands his dauntless race,
+  For utter ignorance of fear renown'd,
+  In wrath he rolls his baleful eye around:
+  Makes every swoln, disdainful heart, subside,
+  And holds dominion o'er the sons of pride.
+    Then the Chaldaean eas'd his lab'ring breast,
+  With full conviction of his crime opprest.
+    "Thou canst accomplish all things, Lord of might:
+  And every thought is naked to thy sight.
+  But, oh! thy ways are wonderful, and lie
+  Beyond the deepest reach of mortal eye.
+  Oft have I heard of thine Almighty power;
+  But never saw thee till this dreadful hour.
+  O'erwhelm'd with shame, the Lord of life I see,
+  Abhor myself, and give my soul to thee.
+  Nor shall my weakness tempt thine anger more:
+  Man is not made to question, but adore."

+           ON MICHAEL ANGELO'S FAMOUS PIECE OF THE CRUCIFIXION;
+
+
+     Who Is Said To Have Stabbed a Person That He Might Draw It More
+                              Naturally.(44)

+  He drains off life by drops, and, deaf to cries,
+  Examines every spirit as it flies:
+  He studies torment, dives in mortal woe,
+  To rouse up every pang repeats his blow;
+  Each rising agony, each dreadful grace,
+  Yet warm transplanting to his Saviour's face.
+  Oh glorious theft! oh nobly wicked draught!
+  With its full charge of death each feature fraught,
+  Such wondrous force the magic colours boast,
+  From his own skill he starts in horror lost.

+
+
+                         On the Tragedy of Cato.
+
+
+  What do we see? Is Cato then become
+  A greater name in Britain than in Rome?
+  Does mankind now admire his virtues more,
+  Though Lucan, Horace, Virgil, wrote before?
+  How will posterity this truth explain?
+  "Cato begins to live in Anna's reign."
+  The world's great chiefs, in council or in arms,
+  Rise in your lines with more exalted charms;
+  Illustrious deeds in distant nations wrought,
+  And virtues by departed heroes taught,
+  Raise in your soul a pure immortal flame,
+  Adorn your life, and consecrate your fame;
+  To your renown all ages you subdue,
+  And Caesar fought, and Cato bled for you.
+
+                                                     All Souls Coll. Oxon.

+                   HISTORICAL EPILOGUE TO THE BROTHERS.
+
+
+                                A Tragedy.
+
+
+  An Epilogue, through custom, is your right,
+  But ne'er perhaps was needful till this night:
+  To-night the virtuous falls, the guilty flies,
+  Guilt's dreadful close our narrow scene denies.
+  In history's authentic record read
+  What ample vengeance gluts Demetrius' shade;
+  Vengeance so great, that, when his tale is told,
+  With pity some e'en Perseus may behold.
+    Perseus surviv'd, indeed, and fill'd the throne,
+  But ceaseless cares in conquest made him groan:
+  Nor reign'd he long; from Rome swift thunder flew,
+  And headlong from his throne the tyrant threw:
+  Thrown headlong down, by Rome in triumph led,
+  For this night's deed his perjur'd bosom bled:
+  His brother's ghost each moment made him start,
+  And all his father's anguish rent his heart.
+    When, rob'd in black, his children round him hung,
+  And their rais'd arms in early sorrow wrung;
+  The younger smil'd, unconscious of their woe;
+  At which thy tears, O Rome! began to flow;
+  So sad the scene! What then must Perseus feel,
+  To see Jove's race attend the victor's wheel:
+  To see the slaves of his worst foes increase,
+  From such a source!--An emperor's embrace!
+  He sicken'd soon to death; and, what is worse,
+  He well deserv'd, and felt, the coward's curse;
+  Unpitied, scorn'd, insulted his last hour,
+  Far, far from home, and in a vassal's power:
+  His pale cheek rested on his shameful chain,
+  No friend to mourn, no flatterer to feign;
+  No suit retards, no comfort soothes his doom,
+  And not one tear bedews a monarch's tomb.
+  Nor ends it thus--dire vengeance to complete,
+  His ancient empire falling shares his fate:
+  His throne forgot! his weeping country chain'd!
+  And nations ask--where Alexander reign'd.
+  As public woes a prince's crime pursue,
+  So public blessings are his virtue's due.
+  Shout, Britons, shout--auspicious fortune bless!
+  And cry, Long live--Our title to success!

+
+
+        On Lord Aubrey Beauclerk(45), in Westminster Abbey, 1740.
+
+
+  Whilst Britain boasts her empire o'er the deep,
+  This marble shall compel the brave to weep:
+  As men, as Britons, and as soldiers, mourn;
+  'Tis dauntless, loyal, virtuous Beauclerk's urn.
+  Sweet were his manners, as his soul was great,
+  And ripe his worth, though immature his fate;
+  Each tender grace that joy and love inspires,
+  Living, he mingled with his martial fires:
+  Dying, he bid Britannia's thunders roar;
+  And Spain still felt him, when he breath'd no more.

+
+
+        If fond of what is rare, attend!
+            Here lies an honest man,
+                Of perfect piety,
+              Of lamblike patience,
+            My friend, James Barker;
+        To whom I pay this mean memorial,
+        For what deserves the greatest.
+                  An example
+  Which shone through all the clouds of fortune,
+            Industrious in low estate,
+    The lesson and reproach of those above him.
+              To lay this little stone
+                Is my ambition;
+                While others rear
+  The polish'd marbles of the great!
+            Vain pomp;
+  A turf o'er virtue charms us more.

+
+
+                         A LETTER TO MR. TICKELL,
+
+
+  Occasioned by the Death of the Right Hon. Joseph Addison, Esq., 1719.
+
+
+      --Tu nunc eris alter ab illo.
+
+                                                                --VIRG.
+
+
+  O long with me in Oxford groves confin'd,
+  In social arts and sacred friendship join'd;
+  Fair Isis' sorrow, and fair Isis' boast,
+  Lost from her side, but fortunately lost;
+  Thy wonted aid, my dear companion! bring,
+  And teach me thy departed friend to sing:
+  A darling theme! once powerful to inspire,
+  And now to melt, the muses' mournful choir:
+  Now, and now first, we freely dare commend
+  His modest worth, nor shall our praise offend.
+
+  Early he bloom'd amid the learned train,
+  And ravish'd Isis listen'd to his strain.
+  "See, see," she cried, "old Maro's muse appears,
+  Wak'd from her slumber of two thousand years:
+  Her finish'd charms to Addison she brings,
+  Thinks in his thought, and in his numbers sings.
+  All read transported his pure classic page;
+  Read, and forget their climate and their age."
+    The state, when now his rising fame was known,
+  Th' unrival'd genius challeng'd for her own,
+  Nor would that one, for scenes for action strong,
+  Should let a life evaporate in song.
+  As health and strength the brightest charms dispense,
+  Wit is the blossom of the soundest sense:
+  Yet few, how few, with lofty thoughts inspir'd,
+  With quickness pointed, and with rapture fir'd,
+  In conscious pride their own importance find,
+  Blind to themselves, as the hard world is blind!
+  Wit they esteem a gay but worthless power,
+  The slight amusement of a leisure hour;
+  Unmindful that, conceal'd from vulgar eyes,
+  Majestic wisdom wears the bright disguise.
+    Poor Dido fondled thus, with idle joy,
+  Dread Cupid, lurking in the Trojan boy;
+  Lightly she toy'd, and trifled with his charms,
+  And knew not that a god was in her arms.
+    Who greatest excellence of thought could boast,
+  In action, too, have been distinguish'd most:
+  This Sommers(46) knew, and Addison sent forth
+  From the malignant regions of the north,
+  To be matur'd in more indulgent skies,
+  Where all the vigour of the soul can rise;
+  Thro' warmer veins where sprightlier spirits run,
+  And sense enliven'd sparkles in the sun.
+  With secret pain the prudent patriot gave
+  The hopes of Britain to the rolling wave,
+  Anxious, the charge to all the stars resign'd,
+  And plac'd a confidence in sea and wind.
+    Ausonia soon receiv'd her wondering guest,
+  And equal wonder in her turn confess'd,
+  To see her fervours rival'd by the pole,
+  Her lustre beaming from a northern soul:
+  In like surprise was her AEneas lost,
+  To find his picture grace a foreign coast.
+    Now the wide field of Europe he surveys,
+  Compares her kings, her thrones and empires weighs,
+  In ripen'd judgment and consummate thought;
+  Great work! by Nassau's favour cheaply bought.
+    He now returns to Britain a support,
+  Wise in her senate, graceful in her court;
+  And when the public welfare would permit,
+  The source of learning, and the soul of wit.
+  O Warwick! (whom the muse is fond to name,
+  And kindles, conscious of her future theme,)
+  O Warwick! by divine contagion bright!
+  How early didst thou catch his radiant light!
+  By him inspir'd, how shine before thy time,
+  And leave thy years, and leap into thy prime!
+    On some warm bank, thus, fortunately born,
+  A rose-bud opens to a summer's morn,
+  Full-blown ere noon her fragrant pride displays,
+  And shows th' abundance of her purple rays.
+  Wit, as her bays, was once a barren tree;
+  We now, surpris'd, her fruitful branches see;
+  Or, orange-like, till his auspicious time
+  It grew indeed, but shiver'd in our clime:
+  He first the plant to richer gardens led,
+  And fix'd, indulgent, in a warmer bed:
+  The nation, pleas'd, enjoys the rich produce,
+  And gathers from her ornament her use.
+    When loose from public cares the grove he sought,
+  And fill'd the leisure interval with thought,
+  The various labours of his easy page,
+  A chance amusement, polish'd half an age.
+  Beyond this truth old bards could scarce invent,
+  Who durst to frame a world by accident.
+    What he has sung, how early and how well,
+  The Thames shall boast, and Roman Tiber tell.
+  A glory more sublime remains in store,
+  Since such his talents, that he sung no more.
+    No fuller proof of power th' Almighty gave,
+  Making the sea, than curbing her proud wave.
+    Nought can the genius of his works transcend,
+  But their fair purpose and important end;
+  To rouse the war for injur'd Europe's laws,
+  To steel the patriot in great Brunswick's cause;
+  With virtue's charms to kindle sacred love,
+  Or paint th' eternal bowers of bliss above.
+  Where hadst thou room, great author! where to roll
+  The mighty theme of an immortal soul?
+  Through paths unknown, unbeaten, whence were brought
+  Thy proofs so strong for immaterial thought?
+  One let me join, all other may excel.
+  "How could a mortal essence think so well?"
+    But why so large in the great writer's praise?
+  More lofty subjects should my numbers raise;
+  In him (illustrious rivalry!) contend
+  The statesman, patriot, Christian, and the friend!
+  His glory such, it borders on disgrace
+  To say he sung the best of human race.
+    In joy once join'd, in sorrow now for years,
+  Partner in grief, and brother of my tears,
+  Tickell! accept this verse, thy mournful due;
+  Thou further shalt the sacred theme pursue;
+  And, as thy strain describes the matchless man,
+  Thy life shall second what thy muse began.
+  Though sweet the numbers, though a fire divine
+  Dart through the whole, and burn in every line,
+  Who strives not for that excellence he draws,
+  Is stain'd by fame, and suffers from applause.
+    But haste to thy illustrious task; prepare
+  The noble work well trusted to thy care,
+  The gift(47) bequeath'd by Addison's command,
+  To Craggs made sacred by his dying hand.
+  Collect the labours, join the various rays,
+  The scatter'd light in one united blaze;
+  Then bear to him so true, so truly lov'd,
+  In life distinguished, and in death approv'd,
+  Th' immortal legacy. He hangs awhile
+  In generous anguish o'er the glorious pile;
+  With anxious pleasure the known page reviews,
+  And the dear pledge with falling tears bedews.
+  What though thy tears, pour'd o'er thy godlike friend,
+  Thy other cares for Britain's weal suspend?
+  Think not, O patriot! while thy eyes o'erflow,
+  Those cares suspended for a private woe;
+  Thy love to him is to thy country shown;
+  He mourns for her who mourns for Addison.
+
+
+
+
+
+            REFLECTIONS ON THE PUBLIC SITUATION OF THE KINGDOM
+
+
+                   Inscribed to the Duke of Newcastle.
+
+
+  Holles! immortal in far more than fame!
+  Be thou illustrious in far more than power.
+  Great things are small when greater rise to view
+  Tho' station'd high, and press'd with public cares,
+  Disdain not to peruse my serious song,
+  Which peradventure may push by the world:
+  Of a few moments rob Britannia's weal,
+  And leave Europa's counsels less mature!
+  For thou art noble, and the theme is great.
+    Nor shall or Europe or Britannia blame
+  Thine absent ear, but gain by the delay.
+  Long vers'd in senates and in cabinets,
+  States' intricate demands and high debates!
+  As thou of use to those, so this to thee;
+  And in a point that empire far outweighs,
+  That far outweighs all Europe's thrones in one.
+  Let greatness prove its title to be great.
+  'Tis power's supreme prerogative to stamp
+  On other minds an image of its own.
+  Bend the strong influence of high place, to stem
+  The stream that sweeps away the country's weal;
+  The Stygian stream, the torrent of our guilt.
+  Far as thou mayst give life to virtue's cause;
+  Let not the ties of personal regard
+  Betray the nation's trust to feeble hands:
+  Let not fomented flames of private pique
+  Prey on the vitals of the public good:
+  Let not our streets with blasphemies resound,
+  Nor lewdness whisper where the laws can reach:
+  Let not best laws, the wisdom of our sires,
+  Turn satires on their sunk degenerate sons,
+  The bastards of their blood! and serve no point
+  But with more emphasis to call them fools:
+  Let not our rank enormities unhinge
+  Britannia's welfare from divine support.
+    Such deeds the minister, the prince adorn;
+  No power is shown but in such deeds as these:
+  All, all is impotence but acting right;
+  And where's the statesman but would show his power?
+  To prince and people thou, of equal zeal!
+  Be it henceforward but thy second care
+  To grace thy country, and support the throne;
+  Though this supported, that adorn'd so well,
+  A throne superior our first homage claims;
+  To Caesar's Caesar our first tribute due:
+  A tribute which, unpaid, makes specious wrong
+  And splendid sacrilege of all beside:
+  Illustrious followers; we must first be just;
+  And what so just as awe for the supreme?
+  Less fear we rugged ruffians of the north,
+  Than virtue's well-clad rebels nearer home
+  Less Loyola's disguis'd, all-aping sons,
+  Than traitors lurking in our appetites;
+  Less all the legions Seine and Tagus send,
+  Than unrein'd passions rushing on our peace:
+  Yon savage mountaineers are tame to these.
+  Against those rioters send forth the laws,
+  And break to reason's yoke their wild careers.
+    Prudence for all things points the proper hour,
+  Though some seem more importunate and great.
+  Tho' Britain's generous views and interests spread
+  Beyond the narrow circle of her shores,
+  And their grand entries make on distant lands;
+  Though Britain's genius the wide wave bestrides,
+  And, like a vast Colossus, towering stands
+  With one foot planted on the continent;
+  Yet be not wholly wrapp'd in public cares,
+  Tho' such high cares should call as call'd of late;
+  The cause of kings and emperors adjourn,
+  And Europe's little balance drop awhile;
+  For greater drop it: ponder and adjust
+  The rival interests and contending claims
+  Of life and death, of now and of for-ever;
+  Sublimest theme; and needful as sublime.
+  Thus great Eliza's oracles renown'd,
+  Thus Walsingham and Raleigh, (Britain's boasts!)
+  Thus every statesman thought that ever--died.
+  There's inspiration in a sable hour,
+  And Death's approach makes politicians wise.
+    When thunderstruck, that eagle Wolsey fell;
+  When royal favour, as an ebbing sea,
+  Like a leviathan, his grandeur left,
+  His gasping grandeur! naked on the strand,
+  Naked of human, doubtful of divine,
+  Assistance; no more wallowing in his wealth,
+  Spouting proud foams of insolence no more,
+  On what, then, smote his heart, uncardinal'd,
+  And sunk beneath the level of a man!
+  On the grand article, the sum of things!
+  The point of the first magnitude! that point
+  Tubes mounted in a court, but rarely reach;
+  Some painted cloud still intercepts their sight.
+  First right to judge; then choose; then persevere,
+  Steadfast, as if a crown or mistress call'd.--
+  These, these are politics will stand the test,
+  When finer politics their masters sting,
+  And statesmen fain would shrink to common men.
+  These, these are politics will answer now,
+  (When common men would fain to statesmen swell,)
+  Beyond a Machiavel's or Tencin's scheme.
+  All safety rests on honest counsels: these
+  Immortalize the statesman, bless the state,
+  Make the prince triumph, and the people smile;
+  In peace rever'd, or terrible in arms,
+  Close-leagued with an invincible ally,
+  Which honest counsels never fail to fix
+  In favour of an unabandon'd land;
+  A land--that starts at such a land as this,
+  A parliament, so principled, will sink
+  All ancient schools of empire in disgrace,
+  And Britain's glory, rising from the dead,
+  Will fill the world, loud fame's superior song.
+Britain!--that word pronounc'd is an alarm;
+  It warms the blood, though frozen in our veins;
+  Awakes the soul, and sends her to the field,
+  Enamour'd of the glorious face of Death.
+  Britain!--there's noble magic in the sound.
+  O what illustrious images arise!
+  Embattled, round me, blaze the pomps of war!
+  By sea, by land, at home, in foreign climes,
+  What full-blown laurels on our fathers' brows!
+  Ye radiant trophies! and imperial spoils!
+  Ye scenes!--astonishing to modern sight!
+  Let me, at least, enjoy you in a dream.
+  Why vanish? Stay, ye godlike strangers! stay:
+  Strangers!--I wrong my countrymen: they wake;
+  High beats the pulse: the noble pulse of war
+  Beats to that ancient measure, that grand march
+  Which then prevail'd, when Britain highest soar'd,
+  And every battle paid for heroes slain.
+  No more our great forefathers stain our cheeks
+  With blushes; their renown our shame no more.
+  In military garb, and sudden arms,
+  Up starts old Britain; crosiers are laid by;
+  Trade wields the sword, and agriculture leaves
+  Her half-turn'd furrow: other harvests fire
+  A nobler avarice, avarice of renown!
+  And laurels are the growth of every field.
+  In distant courts is our commotion felt;
+  And less like gods sit monarches on their thrones.
+  What arm can want or sinews or success,
+  Which, lifted from an honest heart, descends,
+  With all the weight of British wrath, to cleave
+  The papal mitre, or the Gallic chain,
+  At every stroke, and save a sinking land?
+    Or death or victory must be resolv'd;
+  To dream of mercy, O how tame! how mad!
+  Where, o'er black deeds the crucifix display'd,
+  Fools think Heaven purchas'd by the blood they shed;
+  By giving, not supporting, pains and death!
+  Nor simple death! where they the greatest saints
+  Who most subdue all tenderness of heart;
+  Students in torture! where, in zeal to him,
+  Whose darling title is the Prince of Peace,
+  The best turn ruthless butchers, for our sakes;
+  To save us in a world they recommend,
+  And yet forbear, themselves with earth content;
+  What modesty!--such virtues Rome adorn!
+  And chiefly those who Rome's first honours wear,
+  Whose name from Jesus, and whose hearts from hell!
+  And shall a pope-bred princeling crawl ashore,
+  Replete with venom, guiltless of a sting,
+  And whistle cut-throats, with those swords that scrap'd
+  Their barren rocks for wretched sustenance,
+  To cut his passage to the British throne?
+  One that has suck'd in malice with his milk,
+  Malice, to Britain, liberty, and truth?
+  Less savage was his brother-robber's nurse,
+  The howling nurse of plundering Romulus,
+  Ere yet far worse than pagan harbour'd there.
+    Hail to the brave! be Britain Britain still:
+  Britain! high favour'd of indulgent Heaven!
+  Nature's anointed empress of the deep!
+  The nurse of merchants, who can purchase crowns!
+  Supreme in commerce! that exuberant source
+  Of wealth, the nerve of war; of wealth, the blood,
+  The circling current in a nation's veins,
+  To set high bloom on the fair face of peace!
+  This once so celebrated seat of power,
+  From which escap'd the mighty Caesar triumph'd!
+  Of Gallic lilies this eternal blast!
+  This terror of armadas! this true bolt,
+  Ethereal-temper'd, to repress the vain
+  Salmonean thunders from the papal chair!
+  This small isle wide-realm'd monarchs eye with awe!
+  Which says to their ambition's foaming waves,
+  "Thus far, nor farther!"--Let her hold, in life,
+  Nought dear disjoin'd from freedom and renown;
+  Renown, our ancestors' great legacy,
+  To be transmitted to their latest sons.
+  By thoughts inglorious, and un-British deeds,
+  Their cancel'd will is impiously profan'd.
+  Inhumanly disturb'd their sacred dust.
+    Their sacred dust with recent laurels crown,
+  By your own valour won. This sacred isle,
+  Cut from the continent, that world of slaves;
+  This temple built by Heaven's peculiar care,
+  In a recess from the contagious world,
+  With ocean pour'd around it for its guard,
+  And dedicated, long, to liberty,
+  That health, that strength, that bloom, of civil life!
+  This temple of still more divine; of faith
+  Sifted from errors, purified by flames,
+  Like gold, to take anew truth's heavenly stamp,
+  And (rising both in lustre and in weight)
+  With her bless'd Master's unmaim'd image shine;
+  Why should she longer droop? why longer act
+  As an accomplice with the plots of Rome?
+  Why longer lend an edge to Bourbon's sword,
+  And give him leave, among his dastard troops,
+  To muster that strong succour, Albion's crimes?
+  Send his self-impotent ambition aid,
+  And crown the conquest of her fiercest foes?
+  Where are her foes most fatal? Blushing truth,
+  "In her friends' vices,"--with a sigh replies.
+  Empire on virtue's rock unshaken stands;
+  Flux as the billows, when in vice dissolv'd.
+  If Heaven reclaims us by the scourge of war,
+  What thanks are due to Paris and Madrid?
+  Would they a revolution?--Aid their aim,
+  But be the revolution--in our hearts!
+    Wouldst thou (whose hand is at the helm) the bark,
+  The shaken bark of Britain, should outride
+  The present blast, and every future storm?
+  Give it that ballast which alone has weight
+  With Him whom wind, and waves, and war, obey,
+  Persist. Are others subtle? Thou be wise:
+  Above the Florentine's court-science raise;
+  Stand forth a patriot of the moral world;
+  The pattern, and the patron, of the just:
+  Thus strengthen Britain's military strength;
+  Give its own terror to the sword she draws.
+  Ask you, "What mean I?"--The most obvious truth;
+  Armies and fleets alone ne'er won the day.
+  When our proud arms are once disarm'd, disarm'd
+  Of aid from Him by whom the mighty fall;
+  Of aid from Him by whom the feeble stand;
+  Who takes away the keenest edge of battle,
+  Or gives the sword commission to destroy;
+  Who blasts, or bids the martial laurel bloom--
+  Emasculated, then, most manly might;
+  Or, though the might remains, it nought avails:
+  Then wither'd weakness foils the sinewy arm
+  Of man's meridian and high-hearted power:
+  Our naval thunders, and our tented fields
+  With travel'd banners fanning southern climes,
+  What do they? This; and more what can they do?
+  When heap'd the measure of a kingdom's crimes,
+  The prince most dauntless, the first plume of war,
+  By such bold inroads into foreign lands,
+  Such elongation of our armaments,
+  But stretches out the guilty nation's neck,
+  While Heaven commands her executioner,
+  Some less abandon'd nation, to discharge
+  Her full-ripe vengeance in a final blow,
+  And tell the world, "Not strong is human strength;
+  And that the proudest empire holds of Heaven."
+    O Britain! often rescued, often crown'd,
+  Beyond thy merit and most sanguine hopes,
+  With all that's great in war, or sweet in peace!
+  Know from what source thy signal blessings flow.
+  Though bless'd with spirits ardent in the field,
+  Though cover'd various oceans with thy fleets,
+  Though fenc'd with rocks, and moated by the main,
+  Thy trust repose in a far stronger guard;
+  In Him, who thee, though naked, could defend;
+  Tho' weak, could strengthen; ruin'd, could restore.
+    How oft, to tell what arm defends thine isle,
+  To guard her welfare, and yet check her pride,
+  Have the winds snatch'd the victory from war?
+  Or, rather, won the day, when war despair'd?
+  How oft has providential succour aw'd,
+  Aw'd while it bless'd us, conscious of our guilt;
+  Struck dead all confidence in human aid,
+  And, while we triumph'd, made us tremble too!
+    Well may we tremble now; what manners reign?
+  But wherefore ask we, when a true reply
+  Would shock too much? Kind Heaven! avert events
+  Whose fatal nature might reply too plain!
+  Heaven's half-bar'd arm of vengeance has been wav'd
+  In northern skies, and pointed to the south.
+  Vengeance delay'd but gathers and ferments;
+  More formidably blackens in the wind;
+  Brews deeper draughts of unrelenting wrath,
+  And higher charges the suspended storm.
+    "That public vice portends a public fall"--
+  Is this conjecture of adventurous thought!
+  Or pious coward's pulpit cushion'd dream;
+  Far from it. This is certain; this is fate.
+  What says experience, in her awful chair
+  Of ages, her authentic annals spread
+  Around her? What says reason eagle-eyed?
+  Nay, what says common sense, with common care
+  Weighing events, and causes, in her scale?
+  All give one verdict, one decision sign;
+  And this the sentence Delphos could not mend:
+  "Whatever secondary props may rise
+  From politics, to build the public peace,
+  The basis is the manners of the land.
+  When rotten these, the politician's wiles
+  But struggle with destruction, as a child
+  With giants huge, or giants with a Jove.
+  The statesman's arts to conjure up a peace,
+  Or military phantoms void of force,
+  But scare away the vultures for an hour;
+  The scent cadaverous (for, oh! how rank
+  The stench of profligates!) soon lures them back
+  On the proud flutter of a Gallic wing
+  Soon they return; soon make their full descent;
+  Soon glut their rage, and riot in our ruin;
+  Their idols grac'd and gorgeous with our spoils,
+  Of universal empire sure presage!
+  Till now repell'd by seas of British blood."
+    And whence the manners of the multitude?
+  The colours of their manners, black or fair,
+  Falls from above; from the complexion falls
+  Of state Othellos, or white men in power:
+  And from the greater height example falls,
+  Greater the weight, and deeper its impress
+  In ranks inferior, passive to the stroke:
+  From the court-mint, of hearts the current coin,
+  The pupil presses, but the pattern drives.
+  What bonds then, bonds how manifold, and strong
+  To duty, double duty, are the great!
+  And are there Samsons that can burst them all?
+  Yes; and great minds that stand in need of none,
+  Whose pulse beats virtues, and whose generous blood
+  Aids mental motives to push on renown,
+  In emulation of their glorious sires,
+  From whom rolls down the consecrated stream.
+  Some sow good seeds in the glad people's hearts,
+  Some cursed tares, like Satan in the text:
+  This makes a foe most fatal to the state;
+  A foe who (like a wizard in his cell)
+  In his dark cabinet of crooked schemes,
+  Resembling Cuma's gloomy grot, the forge
+  Of boasted oracles, and real lies,
+  (Aided, perhaps, by second-sighted Scots,
+  French magi, relics riding post from Rome,
+  A gothic hero(48) rising from the dead,
+  And changing for spruce plaid his dirty shroud,
+  With succour suitable from lower still,)
+  A foe who, these concurring to the charm,
+  Excites those storms that shall o'erturn the state,
+  Rend up her ancient honours by the root,
+  And lay the boast of ages, the rever'd
+  Of nations, the dear-bought with sumless wealth
+  And blood illustrious, (spite of her La Hogues,
+  Her Cresseys, and her Blenheims,) in the dust.
+    How must this strike a horror thro' the breast,
+  Thro' every generous breast where honour reigns,
+  Thro' every breast where honour claims a share!
+  Yes, and thro' every breast of honour void!
+  This thought might animate the dregs of men;
+  Ferment them into spirit; give them fire
+  To fight the cause, the black opprobrious cause,
+  Foul core of all!--corruption at our hearts.
+  What wreck of empire has the stream of time
+  Swept, with her vices, from the mountain height
+  Of grandeur, deified by half mankind,
+  To dark oblivion's melancholy lake,
+  Or flagrant infamy's eternal brand!
+  Those names, at which surrounding nations shook,
+  Those names ador'd, a nuisance! or forgot!
+  Nor this the caprice of a doubtful die,
+  But Nature's course; no single chance against it.
+    For know, my lord! 'tis writ in adamant,
+  'Tis fixt, as is the basis of the world,
+  Whose kingdoms stand or fall by the decree.
+  What saw these eyes, surpris'd!--Yet why surpris'd--
+  For aid divine the crisis seem'd to call,
+  And how divine was the monition given!
+  As late I walk'd the night in troubled thought,
+  My peace disturb'd by rumours from the north,
+  While thunder o'er my head, portentous, roll'd,
+  As giving signal of some strange event,
+  And ocean groan'd beneath for her he lov'd,
+  Albion the fair! so long his empire's queen,
+  Whose reign is, now, contested by her foes,
+  On her white cliffs (a tablet broad and bright,
+  Strongly reflecting the pale lunar ray)
+  By fate's own iron pen I saw it writ,
+  And thus the title ran:
+
+
+
+
+
+                          THE STATEMAN'S CREED.
+
+
+    "Ye states! and empires! nor of empires least,
+  Though least in size, hear, Britain! thou whose lot,
+  Whose final lot, is in the balance laid,
+  Irresolutely play the doubtful scales,
+  Nor know'st thou which will win.--Know then from me,
+  As govern'd well or ill, states sink or rise:
+  State ministers, as upright or corrupt,
+  Are balm or poison in a nation's veins!
+  Health or distemper, hasten or retard
+  The period of her pride, her day of doom:
+  And though, for reasons obvious to the wise,
+  Just Providence deals otherwise with men,
+  Yet believe, Britons! nor too late believe,
+  'Tis fix'd! by fate irrevocably fix'd!
+  Virtue and vice are empire's life and death."
+
+    Thus it is written--Heard you not a groan?
+  Is Britain on her death-bed?--No, that groan
+  Was utter'd by her foes--but soon the scale,
+  If this divine monition is despis'd,
+  May turn against us. Read it, ye who rule!
+  With reverence read; with steadfastness believe;
+  With courage act as such belief inspires;
+  Then shall your glory stand like fate's decree;
+  Then shall your name in adamant be writ,
+  In records that defy the tooth of time,
+  By nations sav'd, resounding your applause.
+  While deep beyond your monument's proud base,
+  In black oblivion's kennel, shall be trod
+  Their execrable names, who, high in power,
+  And deep in guilt, most ominously shine,
+  (The meteors of the state!) give vice her head,
+  To license lewd let loose the public rein;
+  Quench every spark of conscience in the land,
+  And triumph in the profligate's applause:
+  Or who to the first bidder sell their souls,
+  Their country sell, sell all their fathers bought
+  With funds exhausted and exhausted veins,
+  To demons, by his holiness ordain'd
+  To propagate the gospel--penn'd at Rome;
+  Hawk'd through the world by consecrated bulls;
+  And how illustrated?--by Smithfleld flames:
+  Who plunge (but not like Curtius) down the gulf,
+  Down narrow-minded self's voracious gulf,
+  Which gapes and swallows all they swore to save:
+  Hate all that lifted heroes into gods,
+  And hug the horrors of a victor's chain:
+  Of bodies politic that destin'd hell,
+  Inflicted here, since here their beings end;
+  And fall from foes detested and despis'd,
+  On disbelievers--of the statesman's creed.
+    Note, here, my lord, (unnoted yet it lies
+  By most, or all,) these truths political
+  Serve more than public ends: this creed of states
+  Seconds, and irresistibly supports,
+  The Christian creed. Are you surpris'd?--Attend
+  And on the statesman's build a nobler name.
+  This punctual justice exercis'd on states,
+  With which authentic chronicle abounds,
+  As all men know, and therefore must believe;
+  This vengeance pour'd on nations ripe in guilt,
+  Pour'd on them here, where only they exist,
+  What is it but an argument of sense,
+  Or rather demonstration, to support
+  Our feeble faith--"That they who states compose,
+  That men who stand not bounded by the grave,
+  Shall meet like measure at their proper hour?"
+  For God is equal, similarly deals
+  With states and persons, or he were not God!
+  What means a rectitude immutable?
+  A pattern here of universal right.
+  What, then, shall rescue an abandon'd man?
+  Nothing, it is replied. Replied, by whom?
+  Replied by politicians well as priests:
+  Writ sacred set aside, mankind's own writ,
+  The whole world's annals; these pronounce his doom.
+    Thus (what might seem a daring paradox)
+  E'en politics advance divinity:
+  True masters there are better scholars here,
+  Who travel history in quest of schemes
+  To govern nations, or perhaps oppress,
+  May there start truths that other aims inspire,
+  And, like Candace's eunuch, as they read,
+  By Providence turn Christians on their road:
+  Digging for silver, they may strike on gold;
+  May be surpris'd with better than they sought,
+  And entertain an angel unawares.
+    Nor is divinity ungrateful found.
+  As politics advance divinity,
+  Thus, in return, divinity promotes
+  True politics, and crowns the statesman's praise.
+  All wisdoms are but branches of the chief,
+  And statesmen found but shoots of honest men.
+  Are this world's witchcrafts pleaded in excuse
+  For deviations in our moral line?
+  This, and the next world, view'd with such an eye
+  As suits a statesman, such as keeps in view
+  His own exalted science, both conspire
+  To recommend and fix us in the right.
+  If we reward the politics of Heaven,
+  The grand administration of the whole,
+  What's the next world? A supplement of this:
+  Without it, justice is defective here;
+  Just as to states, defective as to men:
+  If so, what is this world? As sure as right
+  Sits in Heaven's throne, a prophet of the next.
+  Prize you the prophet? then believe him too:
+  His prophecy more precious than his smile.
+  How comes it then to pass, with most on earth,
+  That this should charm us, that should discompose?
+  Long as the statesman finds this case his own,
+  So long his politics are uncomplete;
+  In danger he; nor is the nation safe,
+  But soon must rue his inauspicious power.
+  What hence results? a truth that should resound
+  For ever awful in Britannia's ear:
+  "Religion crowns the statesman and the man,
+  Sole source of public and of private peace."
+  This truth all men must own, and therefore will,
+  And praise and preach it too:--and when that's done,
+  Their compliment is paid, and 'tis forgot.
+  What highland pole-axe half so deep can wound?
+    But how dare I, so mean, presume so far?
+  Assume my seat in the dictator's chair?
+  Pronounce, predict (as if indeed inspir'd),
+  Promulge my censures, lay out all my throat,
+  Till hoarse in clamour on enormous crimes?
+  Two mighty columns rise in my support;
+  In their more awful and authentic voice,
+  Record profane and sacred, drown the muse,
+  Tho' loud, and far out-thread her threatening song.
+  Still further, Holles! suffer me to plead
+  That I speak freely, as I speak to thee:
+  Guilt only startles at the name of guilt;
+  And truth, plain truth, is welcome to the wise.
+  Thus what seem'd my presumption is thy praise.
+    Praise, and immortal praise, is virtue's claim;
+  And virtue's sphere is action: yet we grant
+  Some merit to the trumpet's loud alarm,
+  Whose clangour kindles cowards into men.
+  Nor shall the verse, perhaps, be quite forgot,
+  Which talks of immortality, and bids,
+  In every British breast, true glory rise,
+  As now the warbling lark awakes the morn.
+  To close, my lord! with that which all should close
+  And all begin, and strike us every hour,
+  Though no war wak'd us, no black tempest frown'd.
+  The morning rises gay; yet gayest morn
+  Less glorious after night's incumbent shades;
+  Less glorious far bright nature, rich array'd
+  With golden robes, in all the pomp of noon,
+  Than the first feeble dawn of moral day?
+  Sole day, (let those whom statesmen serve attend,)
+  Though the sun ripens diamonds for their crowns;
+  Sole day worth his regard whom Heaven ordains,
+  Undarken'd, to behold noon dark, and date,
+  From the sun's death, and every planet's fall,
+  His all-illustrious and eternal year;
+  Where statesmen and their monarchs, (names of awe
+  And distance here,) shall rank with common men,
+  Yet own their glory never dawn'd before.
+
+
+
+
+
+                               RESIGNATION.
+
+
+                              In Two Parts.
+
+
+      My soul shall be satisfied even as it were with marrow and
+      fatness, when my mouth praiseth thee with joyful lips.
+
+                                                       PSALM lxiii. 6.
+
+
+
+
+                              Advertisement.
+
+
+This was not intended for the public; there were many and strong reasons
+against it, and are so still; but some extracts of it, from the few copies
+which were given away, being got into the printed papers, it was thought
+necessary to publish something, lest a copy still more imperfect than this
+should fall into the press: and it is hoped, that this unwelcome occasion
+of publication may be some excuse for it.
+
+As for the following stanzas, God Almighty's infinite power, and
+marvellous goodness to man, is dwelt on, as the most just and cogent
+reason for our cheerful and absolute resignation to his will; nor are any
+of those topics declined, which have a just tendency to promote that
+supreme virtue: such as the vanity of this life, the value of the next,
+the approach of death, &c.
+
+
+
+
+                                 Part I.
+
+
+  The days how few, how short the years
+    Of man's too rapid race!
+  Each leaving, as it swiftly flies,
+    A shorter in its place.
+
+  They who the longest lease enjoy,
+    Have told us with a sigh,
+  That to be born seems little more
+    Than to begin to die.
+
+  Numbers there are who feel this truth
+    With fears alarm'd; and yet,
+  In life's delusions lull'd asleep,
+    This weighty truth forget:
+
+  And am not I to these akin?
+    Age slumbers o'er the quill;
+  Its honour blots, whate'er it writes,
+    And am I writing still?
+
+  Conscious of nature in decline,
+    And languor in my thoughts;
+  To soften censure, and abate
+    Its rigour on my faults
+
+  Permit me, madam! ere to you
+    The promis'd verse I pay,
+  To touch on felt infirmity,
+    Sad sister of decay.
+
+  One world deceas'd, another born,
+    Like Noah they behold,
+  O'er whose white hairs, and furrow'd brows,
+    Too many suns have roll'd:
+
+  Happy the patriarch! he rejoic'd
+    His second world to see:
+  My second world, though gay the scene,
+    Can boast no charms for me.
+
+  To me this brilliant age appears
+    With desolation spread;
+  Near all with whom I liv'd, and smil'd,
+    Whilst life was life, are dead;
+
+  And with them died my joys; the grave
+    Has broken nature's laws;
+  And clos'd, against this feeble frame,
+    Its partial cruel jaws;
+
+  Cruel to spare! condemn'd to life!
+    A cloud impairs my sight;
+  My weak hand disobeys my will,
+    And trembles as I write.
+
+  What shall I write? Thalia, tell;
+    Say, long abandon'd muse!
+  What field of fancy shall I range?
+    What subject shall I choose?
+
+  A choice of moment high inspire,
+    And rescue me from shame,
+  For doting on thy charms so late,
+    By grandeur in my theme.
+
+  Beyond the themes, which most admire,
+    Which dazzle, or amaze,
+  Beyond renown'd exploits of war,
+    Bright charms, or empire's blaze,
+
+  Are themes, which, in a world of woe
+    Can best appease our pain;
+  And, in an age of gaudy guilt,
+    Gay folly's flood restrain;
+
+  Amidst the storms of life support
+    A calm, unshaken mind;
+  And with unfading laurels crown
+    The brow of the resign'd.
+
+  O resignation! yet unsung,
+    Untouch'd by former strains;
+  Though claiming every muse's smile,
+    And every poet's pains,
+
+  Beneath life's evening, solemn shade,
+    I dedicate my page
+  To thee, thou safest guard of youth!
+    Thou sole support of age!
+
+  All other duties crescents are
+    Of virtue faintly bright,
+  The glorious consummation, thou!
+    Which fills her orb with light:
+
+  How rarely fill'd! the love divine
+    In evils to discern,
+  This the first lesson which we want,
+    The latest, which we learn;
+
+  A melancholy truth! for know,
+    Could our proud hearts resign,
+  The distance greatly would decrease
+    'Twixt human and divine.
+
+  But though full noble is my theme,
+    Full urgent is my call
+  To soften sorrow, and forbid
+    The bursting tear to fall:
+
+  The task I dread; dare I to leave
+    Of humble prose the shore,
+  And put to sea? a dangerous sea?
+    What throngs have sunk before!
+
+  How proud the poet's billow swells!
+    The God! the God! his boast:
+  A boast how vain! What wrecks abound!
+    Dead bards stench every coast.
+
+  What then am I? Shall I presume,
+    On such a moulten wing,
+  Above the general wreck to rise,
+    And in my winter, sing;
+
+  When nightingales, when sweetest bards
+    Confine their charming song
+  To summer's animating heats,
+    Content to warble young?
+
+  Yet write I must; a lady(49) sues;
+    How shameful her request!
+  My brain in labour for dull rhyme!
+    Hers teeming with the best!
+
+  But you a stranger will excuse,
+    Nor scorn his feeble strain;
+  To you a stranger, but, through fate,
+    No stranger to your pain.
+
+  The ghost of grief deceas'd ascends,
+    His old wound bleeds anew;
+  His sorrows are recall'd to life
+    By those he sees in you;
+
+  Too well he knows the twisting strings
+    Of ardent hearts combin'd
+  When rent asunder, how they bleed,
+    How hard to be resign'd:
+
+  Those tears you pour, his eyes have shed;
+    The pang you feel, he felt;
+  Thus nature, loud as virtue, bids
+    His heart at yours to melt.
+
+  But what can heart, or head, suggest?
+    What sad experience say?
+  Through truths austere, to peace we work
+    Our rugged, gloomy way:
+
+  What are we? whence? for what? and whither?
+    Who know not, needs must mourn;
+  But thought, bright daughter of the skies!
+    Can tears to triumph turn.
+
+  Thought is our armour, 'tis the mind's
+    Impenetrable shield,
+  When, sent by fate, we meet our foes,
+    In sore affliction's field;
+
+  It plucks the frightful mask from ills,
+    Forbids pale fear to hide,
+  Beneath that dark disguise, a friend,
+    Which turns affection's tide.
+
+  Affection frail! train'd up by sense,
+    From reason's channel strays:
+  And whilst it blindly points at peace,
+    Our peace to pain betrays.
+
+  Thought winds its fond, erroneous stream
+    From daily dying flowers,
+  To nourish rich immortal blooms,
+    In amaranthine bowers;
+
+  Whence throngs, in ecstasy, look down
+    On what once shock'd their sight;
+  And thank the terrors of the past
+    For ages of delight.
+
+  All withers here; who most possess
+    Are losers by their gain,
+  Stung by full proof, that, bad at best,
+    Life's idle all is vain:
+
+  Vain, in its course, life's murmuring stream;
+    Did not its course offend,
+  But murmur cease; life, then, would seem
+    Still vainer, from its end.
+
+  How wretched! who, through cruel fate,
+    Have nothing to lament!
+  With the poor alms this world affords
+    Deplorably content!
+
+  Had not the Greek his world mistook,
+    His wish had been most wise;
+  To be content with but one world,
+    Like him, we should despise.
+
+  Of earth's revenue would you state
+    A full account and fair?
+  We hope; and hope; and hope; then cast
+    The total up------
+                              _Despair._
+
+  Since vain all here, all future, vast,
+    Embrace the lot assign'd;
+  Heaven wounds to heal; its frowns are friends;
+    Its stroke severe, most kind.
+
+  But in laps'd nature rooted deep,
+    Blind error domineers;
+  And on fools' errands, in the dark,
+    Sends out our hopes and fears;
+
+  Bids us for ever pains deplore,
+    Our pleasures overprize;
+  These oft persuade us to be weak;
+    Those urge us to be wise.
+
+  From virtue's rugged path to right
+    By pleasure are we brought,
+  To flowery fields of wrong, and there
+    Pain chides us for our fault:
+
+  Yet whilst it chides, it speaks of peace
+    If folly is withstood;
+  And says, time pays an easy price,
+    For our eternal good.
+
+  In earth's dark cot, and in an hour,
+    And in delusion great,
+  What an economist is man
+    To spend his whole estate,
+
+  And beggar an eternity!
+    For which as he was born,
+  More worlds than one against it weigh'd,
+    As feathers he should scorn.
+
+  Say not, your loss in triumph leads
+    Religion's feeble strife;
+  Joys future amply reimburse
+    Joys bankrupts of this life.
+
+  But not deferr'd your joy so long,
+    It bears an early date;
+  Affliction's ready pay in hand,
+    Befriends our present state;
+
+  What are the tears, which trickle down
+    Her melancholy face,
+  Like liquid pearl? Like pearls of price,
+    They purchase lasting peace.
+
+  Grief softens hearts, and curbs the will,
+    Impetuous passion tames,
+  And keeps insatiate, keen desire
+    From launching in extremes.
+
+  Through time's dark womb, our judgment right,
+    If our dim eye was thrown,
+  Clear should we see, the will divine
+    Has but forestall'd our own;
+
+  At variance with our future wish,
+    Self-sever'd we complain;
+  If so, the wounded, not the wound,
+    Must answer for the pain:
+
+  The day shall come, and swift of wing,
+    Though you may think it slow,
+  When, in the list of fortune's smiles,
+    You'll enter frowns of woe.
+
+  For mark the path of Providence;
+    This course it has pursued--
+  "Pain is the parent, woe the womb,
+    Of sound, important good:"
+
+  Our hearts are fasten'd to this world
+    By strong and endless ties:
+  And every sorrow cuts a string,
+    And urges us to rise:
+
+  'Twill sound severe--Yet rest assur'd
+    I'm studious of your peace;
+  Though I should dare to give you joy--
+    Yes, joy of his decease:
+
+  An hour shall come, (you question this,)
+    An hour, when you shall bless,
+  Beyond the brightest beams of life,
+    Dark days of your distress.
+
+  Hear then without surprise a truth,
+    A daughter truth to this,
+  Swift turns of fortune often tie
+    A bleeding heart to bliss:
+
+  Esteem you this a paradox?
+    My sacred motto read;
+  A glorious truth! divinely sung
+    By one, whose heart had bled;
+
+  To resignation swift he flew,
+    In her a friend he found,
+  A friend, which bless'd him with a smile
+    When gasping with his wound.
+
+  On earth nought precious is obtain'd
+    But what is painful too;
+  By travel, and to travel born,
+    Our sabbaths are but few:
+
+  To real joy we work our way,
+    Encountering many a shock,
+  Ere found what truly charms; as found
+    A Venus in the block.
+
+  In some disaster, some severe
+    Appointment for our sins,
+  That mother blessing, (not so call'd,)
+    True happiness, begins.
+
+  No martyr e'er defied the flames,
+    By stings of life unvext;
+  First rose some quarrel with this world,
+    Then passion for the next.
+
+  You see, then, pangs are parent pangs,
+    The pangs of happy birth;
+  Pangs, by which only can be born
+    True happiness on earth.
+
+  The peopled earth look all around,
+    Or through time's records run!
+  And say, what is a man unstruck?
+    It is a man undone.
+
+  This moment, am I deeply stung--
+    My bold pretence is tried;
+  When vain man boasts, heaven puts to proof
+    The vauntings of his pride;
+
+  Now need I, madam! your support.--
+    How exquisite the smart;
+  How critically tim'd the news(50)
+    Which strikes me to the heart!
+
+  The pangs of which I spoke, I feel:
+    If worth like thine is born,
+  O long-belov'd! I bless the blow,
+    And triumph, whilst I mourn.
+
+  Nor mourn I long; by grief subdued,
+    By reason's empire shown;
+  Deep anguish comes by heaven's decree,
+    Continues by our own;
+
+  And when continued past its point,
+    Indulg'd in length of time,
+  Grief is disgrac'd, and, what was fate,
+    Corrupts into a crime:
+
+  And shall I, criminally mean,
+    Myself and subject wrong?
+  No; my example shall support
+    The subject of my song.
+
+  Madam! I grant your loss is great;
+    Nor little is your gain?
+  Let that be weigh'd; when weigh'd aright,
+    It richly pays your pain:
+
+  When heaven would kindly set us free,
+    And earth's enchantment end;
+  It takes the most effectual means,
+    And robs us of a friend.
+
+  But such a friend! and sigh no more?
+    'Tis prudent; but severe:
+  Heaven aid my weakness, and I drop
+    All sorrow--with this tear.
+
+  Perhaps your settled grief to soothe,
+    I should not vainly strive,
+  But with soft balm your pain assuage,
+    Had he been still alive;
+
+  Whose frequent aid brought kind relief,
+    In my distress of thought,
+  Ting'd with his beams my cloudy page,
+    And beautified a fault:
+
+  To touch our passions' secret springs
+    Was his peculiar care;
+  And deep his happy genius div'd
+    In bosoms of the fair;
+
+  Nature, which favours to the few,
+    All art beyond, imparts,
+  To him presented, at his birth,
+    The key of human hearts.
+
+  But not to me by him bequeath'd
+    His gentle, smooth address;
+  His tender hand to touch the wound
+    In throbbing of distress;
+
+  Howe'er, proceed I must, unbless'd
+    With Esculapian art:
+  Know, love sometimes, mistaken love!
+    Plays disaffection's part:
+
+  Nor lands, nor seas, nor suns, nor stars,
+    Can soul from soul divide;
+  They correspond from distant worlds,
+    Though transports are denied:
+
+  Are you not, then, unkindly kind?
+    Is not your love severe?
+  O! stop that crystal source of woe;
+    Nor wound him with a tear.
+
+  As those above from human bliss
+    Receive increase of joy;
+  May not a stroke from human woe,
+    In part, their peace destroy?
+
+  He lives in those he left;--to what?
+    Your, now, paternal care,
+  Clear from its cloud your brighten'd eye,
+    It will discern him there;
+
+  In features, not of form alone,
+    But those, I trust, of mind;
+  Auspicious to the public weal,
+    And to their fate resign'd.
+
+  Think on the tempests he sustain'd;
+    Revolve his battles won;
+  And let those prophesy your joy
+    From such a father's son:
+
+  Is consolation what you seek?
+    Fan, then, his martial fire:
+  And animate to flame the sparks
+    Bequeath'd him by his sire:
+
+  As nothing great is born in haste,
+    Wise nature's time allow;
+  His father's laurels may descend,
+    And flourish on his brow.
+
+  Nor, madam! be surpris'd to hear
+    That laurels may be due
+  Not more to heroes of the field,
+    (Proud boasters!) than to you:
+
+  Tender as is the female frame,
+    Like that brave man you mourn,
+  You are a soldier, and to fight
+    Superior battles born;
+
+  Beneath a banner nobler far
+    Than ever was unfurl'd
+  In fields of blood; a banner bright!
+    High wav'd o'er all the world.
+
+  It, like a streaming meteor, casts
+    A universal light;
+  Sheds day, sheds more, eternal day
+    On nations whelm'd in night.
+
+  Beneath that banner, what exploit
+    Can mount our glory higher,
+  Than to sustain the dreadful blow,
+    When those we love expire?
+
+  Go forth a moral Amazon;
+    Arm'd with undaunted thought;
+  The battle won, though costing dear,
+    You'll think it cheaply bought:
+
+  The passive hero, who sits down
+    Unactive, and can smile
+  Beneath affliction's galling load,
+    Out-acts a Caesar's toil:
+
+  The billows stain'd by slaughter'd foes
+    Inferior praise afford;
+  Reason's a bloodless conqueror,
+    More glorious than the sword.
+
+  Nor can the thunders of huzzas,
+    From shouting nations, cause
+  Such sweet delight, as from your heart
+    Soft whispers of applause:
+
+  The dear deceas'd so fam'd in arms,
+    With what delight he'll view
+  His triumphs on the main outdone,
+    Thus conquer'd, twice, by you.
+
+  Share his delight; take heed to shun
+    Of bosoms most diseas'd
+  That odd distemper, an absurd
+    Reluctance to be pleas'd:
+
+  Some seem in love with sorrow's charms,
+    And that foul fiend embrace:
+  This temper let me justly brand,
+    And stamp it with disgrace:
+
+  Sorrow! of horrid parentage!
+    Thou second-born of hell!
+  Against heaven's endless mercies pour'd
+    How dar'st thou to rebel?
+
+  From black and noxious vapours bred,
+    And nurs'd by want of thought,
+  And to the door of phrensy's self
+    By perseverance brought,
+
+  Thy most inglorious, coward tears
+    From brutal eyes have ran:
+  Smiles, incommunicable smiles!
+    Are radiant marks of man;
+
+  They cast a sudden glory round
+    Th' illumin'd human face;
+  And light in sons of honest joy
+    Some beams of Moses' face:
+
+  Is resignation's lesson hard?
+    Examine, we shall find
+  That duty gives up little more
+    Than anguish of the mind;
+
+  Resign; and all the load of life
+    That moment you remove,
+  Its heavy tax, ten thousand cares
+    Devolve on one above;
+
+  Who bids us lay our burthen down
+    On his almighty hand,
+  Softens our duty to relief,
+    To blessing a command.
+
+  For joy what cause! how every sense
+    Is courted from above
+  The year around, with presents rich,
+    The growth of endless love!
+
+  But most o'erlook the blessings pour'd,
+    Forget the wonders done,
+  And terminate, wrapp'd up in sense,
+    Their prospect at the sun;
+
+  From that, their final point of view,
+    From that their radiant goal,
+  On travel infinite of thought,
+    Sets out the nobler soul,
+
+  Broke loose from time's tenacious ties,
+    And earth's involving gloom,
+  To range at last its vast domain,
+    And talk with worlds to come:
+
+  They let unmark'd, and unemploy'd,
+    Life's idle moments run;
+  And doing nothing for themselves,
+    Imagine nothing done;
+
+  Fatal mistake! their fate goes on,
+    Their dread account proceeds,
+  And their not doing is set down
+    Amongst their darkest deeds;
+
+  Though man sits still, and takes his ease;
+    God is at work on man;
+  No means, no moment unemployed,
+    To bless him, if he can.
+
+  But man consents not, boldly bent
+    To fashion his own fate;
+  Man, a mere bungler in the trade,
+    Repents his crime too late;
+
+  Hence loud laments: let me thy cause,
+    Indulgent father! plead;
+  Of all the wretches we deplore,
+    Not one by thee was made.
+
+  What is thy whole creation fair?
+    Of love divine the child;
+  Love brought it forth; and, from its birth,
+    Has o'er it fondly smil'd:
+
+  Now, and through periods distant far,
+    Long ere the world began,
+  Heaven is, and has in travail been,
+    Its birth the good of man;
+
+  Man holds in constant service bound
+    The blustering winds and seas;
+  Nor suns disdain to travel hard
+    Their master, man, to please:
+
+  To final good the worst events
+    Through secret channels run;
+  Finish for man their destin'd course,
+    As 'twas for man begun.
+
+  One point (observ'd, perhaps, by few)
+    Has often smote, and smites
+  My mind, as demonstration strong;
+    That heaven in man delights:
+
+  What's known to man of things unseen,
+    Of future worlds, or fates?
+  So much, nor more, than what to man's
+    Sublime affairs relates;
+
+  What's revelation then? a list,
+    An inventory just
+  Of that poor insect's goods, so late
+    Call'd out of night and dust.
+
+  What various motives to rejoice!
+    To render joy sincere,
+  Has this no weight? our joy is felt
+    Beyond this narrow sphere:
+
+  Would we in heaven new heaven create,
+    And double its delight?
+  A smiling world, when heaven looks down,
+    How pleasing in its sight!
+
+  Angels stoop forward from their thrones
+    To hear its joyful lays;
+  As incense sweet enjoy, and join,
+    Its aromatic praise:
+
+  Have we no cause to fear the stroke
+    Of heaven's avenging rod,
+  When we presume to counteract
+    A sympathetic God?
+
+  If we resign, our patience makes
+    His rod an armless wand;
+  If not, it darts a serpent's sting,
+    Like that in Moses' hand;
+
+  Like that, it swallows up whate'er
+    Earth's vain magicians bring,
+  Whose baffled arts would boast below
+    Of joys a rival spring.
+
+  Consummate love! the list how large
+    Of blessings from thy hand!
+  To banish sorrow, and be blest,
+    Is thy supreme command.
+
+  Are such commands but ill obey'd?
+    Of bliss, shall we complain?
+  The man, who dares to be a wretch,
+    Deserves still greater pain.
+
+  Joy is our duty, glory, health;
+    The sunshine of the soul;
+  Our best encomium on the power
+    Who sweetly plans the whole:
+
+  Joy is our Eden still possess'd:
+    Begone, ignoble grief!
+  'Tis joy makes gods, and men exalts,
+    Their nature, our relief;
+
+  Relief, for man to that must stoop,
+    And his due distance know;
+  Transport's the language of the sides,
+    Content the style below.
+
+  Content is joy, and joy in pain
+    Is joy and virtue too;
+  Thus, whilst good present we possess,
+    More precious we pursue:
+
+  Of joy the more we have in hand,
+    The more have we to come;
+  Joy, like our money, interest bears,
+    Which daily swells the sum.
+
+  "But how to smile; to stem the tide
+    Of nature in our veins;
+  Is it not hard to weep in joy?
+    What then to smile in pains?"
+
+  Victorious joy! which breaks the clouds,
+    And struggles through a storm;
+  Proclaims the mind as great, as good
+    And bids it doubly charm:
+
+  If doubly charming in our sex,
+    A sex, by nature, bold;
+  What then in yours? 'tis diamond there
+    Triumphant o'er our gold.
+
+  And should not this complaint repress,
+    And check the rising sigh?
+  Yet farther opiate to your pain
+    I labour to supply.
+
+  Since spirits greatly damp'd distort
+    Ideas of delight,
+  Look through the medium of a friend,
+    To set your notions right:
+
+  As tears the sight, grief dims the soul;
+    Its object dark appears;
+  True friendship, like a rising sun,
+    The soul's horizon clears.
+
+  A friend's an optic to the mind
+    With sorrow clouded o'er;
+  And gives it strength of sight to see
+    Redress unseen before.
+
+  Reason is somewhat rough in man;
+    Extremely smooth and fair,
+  When she, to grace her manly strength,
+    Assumes a female air:
+
+  A friend(51) you have, and I the same,
+    Whose prudent, soft address
+  Will bring to life those healing thoughts
+    Which died in your distress;
+
+  That friend, the spirit of my theme
+    Extracting for your ease,
+  Will leave to me the dreg, in thoughts
+    Too common; such as these:
+
+  Let those lament to whom full bowls
+    Of sparkling joys are given;
+  That triple bane inebriates life,
+    Imbitters death, and hazards heaven:
+
+  Woe to the soul at perfect ease!
+    'Tis brewing perfect pains;
+  Lull'd reason sleeps, the pulse is king;
+    Despotic body reigns;
+
+  Have you(52) ne'er pitied joy's gay scenes,
+    And deem'd their glory dark?
+  Alas! poor envy! she's stone-blind,
+    And quite mistakes her mark:
+
+  Her mark lies hid in sorrow's shades,
+    But sorrow well subdu'd;
+  And in proud fortune's frown defied
+    By meek, unborrow'd good.
+
+  By resignation; all in that
+    A double friend may find,
+  A wing to heaven, and, while on earth,
+    The pillow of mankind:
+
+  On pillows void of down, for rest
+    Our restless hopes we place;
+  When hopes of heaven lie warm at heart,
+    Our hearts repose in peace:
+
+  The peace, which resignation yields,
+    Who feel alone can guess;
+  'Tis disbeliev'd by murmuring minds,
+    They must conclude it less:
+
+  The loss, or gain, of that alone
+    Have we to hope or fear;
+  That fate controls, and can invert
+    The seasons of the year:
+
+  O! the dark days, the year around,
+    Of an impatient mind!
+  Thro' clouds, and storms, a summer breaks,
+    To shine on the resign'd:
+
+  While man by that of every grace,
+    And virtue, is possess'd;
+  Foul vice her pandaemonium builds
+    In the rebellious breast;
+
+  By resignation we defeat
+    The worst that can annoy;
+  And suffer, with far more repose,
+    Than worldlings can enjoy.
+
+  From small experience this I speak;
+    O! grant to those I love
+  Experience fuller far, ye powers,
+    Who form our fates above!
+
+  My love were due, if not to those
+    Who, leaving grandeur, came
+  To shine on age in mean recess,
+    And light me to my theme!
+
+  A theme themselves! A theme, how rare!
+    The charms, which they display,
+  To triumph over captive heads,
+    Are set in bright array:
+
+  With his own arms proud man's o'ercome,
+    His boasted laurels die:
+  Learning and genius, wiser grown,
+    To female bosoms fly.
+
+  This revolution, fix'd by fate,
+    In fable was foretold;
+  The dark prediction puzzled wits,
+    Nor could the learn'd unfold:
+
+  But as those ladies'(53) works I read,
+    They darted such a ray,
+  The latent sense burst out at once,
+    And shone in open day:
+
+  So burst, full ripe, distended fruits,
+    When strongly strikes the sun;
+  And from the purple grape unpress'd
+    Spontaneous nectars run.
+
+  Pallas, ('tis said,) when Jove grew dull,
+    Forsook his drowsy brain;
+  And sprightly leap'd into the throne
+    Of wisdom's brighter reign;
+
+  Her helmet took; that is, shot rays
+    Of formidable wit;
+  And lance,--or, genius most acute,
+    Which lines immortal writ;
+
+  And gorgon shield,--or, power to fright
+    Man's folly, dreadful shone,
+  And many a blockhead (easy change!)
+    Turn'd, instantly, to stone.
+
+  Our authors male, as, then, did Jove,
+    Now scratch a damag'd head,
+  And call for what once quarter'd there,
+    But find the goddess fled.
+
+  The fruit of knowledge, golden fruit!
+    That once forbidden tree,
+  Hedg'd-in by surly man, is now
+    To Britain's daughters free:
+
+  In Eve (we know) of fruit so fair
+    The noble thirst began;
+  And they, like her, have caus'd a fall,
+    A fall of fame in man:
+
+  And since of genius in our sex,
+    O Addison! with thee
+  The sun is set; how I rejoice
+    This sister lamp to see!
+
+  It sheds, like Cynthia, silver beams
+    On man's nocturnal state;
+  His lessen'd light, and languid powers,
+    I show, whilst I relate.
+
+
+
+
+                                 Part II.
+
+
+  But what in either sex, beyond
+    All parts, our glory crowns?
+  "In ruffling seasons to be calm,
+    And smile, when fortune frowns."
+
+  Heaven's choice is safer than our own;
+    Of ages past inquire,
+  What the most formidable fate?
+    "To have our own desire."
+
+  If, in your wrath, the worst of foes
+    You wish extremely ill;
+  Expose him to the thunder's stroke,
+    Or that of his own will.
+
+  What numbers, rushing down the steep
+    Of inclination strong,
+  Have perish'd in their ardent wish!
+    Wish ardent, ever wrong!
+
+  'Tis resignation's full reverse,
+    Most wrong, as it implies
+  Error most fatal in our choice,
+    Detachment from the skies.
+
+  By closing with the skies, we make
+    Omnipotence our own;
+  That done, how formidable ill's
+    Whole army is o'erthrown!
+
+  No longer impotent, and frail,
+    Ourselves above we rise:
+  We scarce believe ourselves below!
+    We trespass on the skies!
+
+  The Lord, the soul, and source of all,
+    Whilst man enjoys his ease,
+  Is executing human will,
+    In earth, and air, and seas;
+
+  Beyond us, what can angels boast?
+    Archangels what require?
+  Whate'er below, above, is done,
+    Is done as----we desire.
+
+  What glory this for man so mean,
+    Whose life is but a span!
+  This is meridian majesty!
+    This, the sublime of man!
+
+  Beyond the boast of pagan song
+    My sacred subject shines!
+  And for a foil the lustre takes
+    Of Rome's exalted lines.
+
+  "All, that the sun surveys, subdued,
+    But Cato's mighty mind."
+  How grand! most true; yet far beneath
+    The soul of the resign'd:
+
+  To more than kingdoms, more than worlds,
+    To passion that gives law;
+  Its matchless empire could have kept
+    Great Cato's pride in awe;
+
+  That fatal pride, whose cruel point
+    Transfix'd his noble breast;
+  Far nobler! if his fate sustain'd
+    And left to heaven the rest;
+
+  Then he the palm had borne away,
+    At distance Caesar thrown;
+  Put him off cheaply with the world,
+    And made the skies his own.
+
+  What cannot resignation do?
+    It wonders can perform;
+  That powerful charm, "Thy will be done,"
+    Can lay the loudest storm.
+
+  Come, resignation! then, from fields,
+    Where, mounted on the wing,
+  A wing of flame, blest martyrs' souls
+    Ascended to their king.
+
+  Who is it calls thee? one whose need
+    Transcends the common size;
+  Who stands in front against a foe
+    To which no equal rise:
+
+  In front he stands, the brink he treads
+    Of an eternal state;
+  How dreadful his appointed post!
+    How strongly arm'd by fate:
+
+  His threatening foe! what shadows deep
+    O'erwhelm his gloomy brow!
+  His dart tremendous!----at fourscore
+    My sole asylum, thou!
+
+  Haste, then, O resignation! haste,
+    'Tis thine to reconcile
+  My foe, and me; at thy approach
+    My foe begins to smile:
+
+  O! for that summit of my wish,
+    Whilst here I draw my breath,
+  That promise of eternal life,
+    A glorious smile in death:
+
+  What sight, heaven's azure arch beneath,
+    Has most of heaven to boast?
+  The man resign'd; at once serene,
+    And giving up the ghost.
+
+  At death's arrival they shall smile,
+    Who, not in life o'er gay,
+  Serious and frequent thought send out
+    To meet him on his way:
+
+  My gay coevals! (such there are)
+    If happiness is dear;
+  Approaching death's alarming day
+    Discreetly let us fear:
+
+  The fear of death is truly wise,
+    Till wisdom can rise higher;
+  And, arm'd with pious fortitude,
+    Death dreaded once, desire:
+
+  Grand climacteric vanities
+    The vainest will despise;
+  Shock'd, when beneath the snow of age
+    Man immaturely dies:
+
+  But am not I myself the man?
+    No need abroad to roam
+  In quest of faults to be chastis'd;
+    What cause to blush at home?
+
+  In life's decline, when men relapse
+    Into the sports of youth,
+  The second child out-fools the first,
+    And tempts the lash of truth;
+
+  Shall a mere truant from the grave
+    With rival boys engage?
+  His trembling voice attempt to sing,
+    And ape the poet's rage?
+
+  Here, madam! let me visit one,
+    My fault who, partly, shares,
+  And tell myself, by telling him,
+    What more becomes our years;
+
+  And if your breast with prudent zeal
+    For resignation glows,
+  You will not disapprove a just
+    Resentment at its foes.
+
+  In youth, Voltaire! our foibles plead
+    For some indulgence due;
+  When heads are white, their thoughts and aims
+    Should change their colour too:
+
+  How are you cheated by your wit!
+    Old age is bound to pay,
+  By nature's law, a mind discreet,
+    For joys it takes away;
+
+  A mighty change is wrought by years,
+    Reversing human lot;
+  In age 'tis honour to lie hid,
+    'Tis praise to be forgot;
+
+  The wise, as flowers, which spread at noon,
+    And all their charms expose,
+  When evening damps and shades descend,
+    Their evolutions close.
+
+  What though your muse has nobly soar'd,
+    Is that our truth sublime?
+  Ours, hoary friend! is to prefer
+    Eternity to time:
+
+  Why close a life so justly fam'd
+    With such bold trash as this?(54)
+  This for renown? yes, such as makes
+    Obscurity a bliss:
+
+  Your trash, with mine, at open war,
+    Is obstinately bent,(55)
+  Like wits below, to sow your tares
+    Of gloom and discontent:
+
+  With so much sunshine at command,
+    Why light with darkness mix?
+  Why dash with pain our pleasure?
+    Your Helicon with Styx?
+
+  Your works in our divided minds
+    Repugnant passions raise,
+  Confound us with a double stroke,
+    We shudder whilst we praise;
+
+  A curious web, as finely wrought
+    As genius can inspire,
+  From a black bag of poison spun,
+    With horror we admire.
+
+  Mean as it is, if this is read
+    With a disdainful air,
+  I can't forgive so great a foe
+    To my dear friend Voltaire:
+
+  Early I knew him, early prais'd,
+    And long to praise him late;
+  His genius greatly I admire,
+    Nor would deplore his fate;
+
+  A fate how much to be deplor'd!
+    At which our nature starts;
+  Forbear to fall on your own sword.
+    To perish by your parts:
+
+  "But great your name"--To feed on air,
+    Were then immortals born?
+  Nothing is great, of which more great,
+    More glorious is the scorn.
+
+  Can fame your carcass from the worm
+    Which gnaws us in the grave,
+  Or soul from that which never dies,
+    Applauding Europe save?
+
+  But fame you lose; good sense alone
+    Your idol, praise, can claim;
+  When wild wit murders happiness,
+    It puts to death our fame!
+
+  Nor boast your genius, talents bright;
+    E'en dunces will despise,
+  If in your western beams is miss'd
+    A genius for the skies;
+
+  Your taste too fails; what most excels
+    True taste must relish most!
+  And what, to rival palms above,
+    Can proudest laurels boast?
+
+  Sound heads salvation's helmet seek,(56)
+    Resplendent are its rays,
+  Let that suffice; it needs no plume,
+    Of sublunary praise.
+
+  May this enable couch'd Voltaire
+    To see that--"All is right,"(57)
+  His eye, by flash of wit struck blind,
+    Restoring to its sight;
+
+  If so, all's well: who much have err'd,
+    That much have been forgiven;
+  I speak with joy, with joy he'll hear,
+    "Voltaires are, now, in heaven."
+
+  Nay, such philanthropy divine,
+    So boundless in degree,
+  Its marvellous of love extends
+    (Stoops most profound!) to me:
+
+  Let others cruel stars arraign,
+    Or dwell on their distress;
+  But let my page, for mercies pour'd,
+    A grateful heart express:
+
+  Walking, the present God was seen,
+    Of old, in Eden fair;
+  The God as present, by plain steps
+    Of providential care,
+
+  I behold passing through my life;
+    His awful voice I hear;
+  And, conscious of my nakedness,
+    Would hide myself for fear:
+
+  But where the trees, or where the clouds,
+    Can cover from his sight?
+  Naked the centre to that eye,
+    To which the sun is night.
+
+  As yonder glittering lamps on high
+    Through night illumin'd roll;
+  My thoughts of him, by whom they shine,
+    Chase darkness from my soul;
+
+  My soul, which reads his hand as clear
+    In my minute affairs,
+  As in his ample manuscript
+    Of sun, and moon, and stars;
+
+  And knows him not more bent aright
+    To wield that vast machine,
+  Than to correct one erring thought
+    In my small world within;
+
+  A world, that shall survive the fall
+    Of all his wonders here;
+  Survive, when suns ten thousand drop,
+    And leave a darken'd sphere.
+
+  Yon matter gross, how bright it shines!
+    For time how great his care!
+  Sure spirit and eternity
+    Far richer glories share;
+
+  Let those our hearts impress, on those
+    Our contemplation dwell;
+  On those my thoughts how justly thrown,
+    By what I now shall tell:
+
+  When backward with attentive mind
+    Life's labyrinth I trace,
+  I find him far myself beyond
+    Propitious to my peace:
+
+  Through all the crooked paths I trod,
+    My folly he pursued;
+  My heart astray to quick return
+    Importunately woo'd;
+
+  Due resignation home to press
+    On my capricious will,
+  How many rescues did I meet,
+    Beneath the mask of ill!
+
+  How many foes in ambush laid
+    Beneath my soul's desire!
+  The deepest penitents are made
+    By what we most admire.
+
+  Have I not sometimes (real good
+    So little mortals know!)
+  Mounting the summit of my wish,
+    Profoundly plung'd in woe?
+
+  I rarely plann'd, but cause I found
+    My plan's defeat to bless:
+  Oft I lamented an event;
+    It turn'd to my success.
+
+  By sharpen'd appetite to give
+    To good intense delight,
+  Through dark and deep perplexities
+    He led me to the right.
+
+  And is not this the gloomy path,
+    Which you are treading now?
+  The path most gloomy leads to light,
+    When our proud passions bow:
+
+  When labouring under fancied ill,
+    My spirits to sustain,
+  He kindly cur'd with sovereign draughts
+    Of unimagin'd pain.
+
+  Pain'd sense from fancied tyranny
+    Alone can set us free;
+  A thousand miseries we feel,
+    Till sunk in misery.
+
+  Cloy'd with a glut of all we wish,
+    Our wish we relish less;
+  Success, a sort of suicide,
+    Is ruin'd by success:
+
+  Sometimes he led me near to death,
+    And, pointing to the grave,
+  Bid terror whisper kind advice;
+    And taught the tomb to save:
+
+  To raise my thoughts beyond where worlds
+    As spangles o'er us shine,
+  One day he gave, and bid the next
+    My soul's delight resign.
+
+  We to ourselves, but through the means
+    Of mirrors, are unknown;
+  In this my fate can you descry
+    No features of your own?
+
+  And if you can, let that excuse
+    These self-recording lines;
+  A record, modesty forbids,
+    Or to small bound confines:
+
+  In grief why deep ingulf'd? You see
+    You suffer nothing rare;
+  Uncommon grief for common fate!
+    That wisdom cannot bear.
+
+  When streams flow backward to their source,
+    And humbled flames descend,
+  And mountains wing'd shall fly aloft,
+    Then human sorrows end;
+
+  But human prudence too must cease,
+    When sorrows domineer,
+  When fortitude has lost its fire,
+    And freezes into fear:
+
+  The pang most poignant of my life
+    Now heightens my delight;
+  I see a fair creation rise
+    From chaos, and old night:
+
+  From what seem'd horror, and despair,
+    The richest harvest rose;
+  And gave me in the nod divine
+    An absolute repose.
+
+  Of all the plunders of mankind,
+    More gross, or frequent, none,
+  Than in their grief and joy misplac'd,
+    Eternally are shown.
+
+  But whither points all this parade?
+    It says, that near you lies
+  A book, perhaps yet unperus'd,
+    Which you should greatly prize:
+
+  Of self-perusal, science rare!
+    Few know the mighty gain;
+  Learn'd prelates, self-unread, may read
+    Their Bibles o'er in vain:
+
+  Self-knowledge, which from heaven itself
+    (So sages tell us) came,
+  What is it, but a daughter fair
+    Of my maternal theme?
+
+  Unletter'd and untravel'd men
+    An oracle might find,
+  Would they consult their own contents,
+    The Delphos of the mind.
+
+  Enter your bosom; there you'll meet
+    A revelation new,
+  A revelation personal;
+    Which none can read but you.
+
+  There will you clearly read reveal'd
+    In your enlighten'd thought,
+  By mercies manifold, through life,
+    To fresh remembrance brought,
+
+  A mighty Being! and in him
+    A complicated friend,
+  A father, brother, spouse; no dread
+    Of death, divorce, or end:
+
+  Who such a matchless friend embrace,
+    And lodge him in their heart,
+  Full well, from agonies exempt,
+    With other friends may part:
+
+  As when o'erloaded branches bear
+    Large clusters big with wine,
+  We scarce regret one falling leaf
+    From the luxuriant vine.
+
+  My short advice to you may sound
+    Obscure or somewhat odd,
+  Though 'tis the best that man can give,--
+    "E'en be content with God."
+
+  Through love he gave you the deceas'd,
+    Through greater took him hence;
+  This reason fully could evince,
+    Though murmur'd at by sense.
+
+  This friend, far past the kindest kind,
+    Is past the greatest great;
+  His greatness let me touch in points
+    Not foreign to your state;
+
+  His eye, this instant, reads your heart;
+    A truth less obvious hear;
+  This instant its most secret thoughts
+    Are sounding in his ear:
+
+  Dispute you this? O! stand in awe,
+    And cease your sorrow; know,
+  That tears now trickling down, he saw
+    Ten thousand years ago;
+
+  And twice ten thousand hence, if you
+    Your temper reconcile
+  To reason's bound, will he behold
+    Your prudence with a smile;
+
+  A smile, which through eternity
+    Diffuses so bright rays,
+  The dimmest deifies e'en guilt,
+    If guilt, at last, obeys:
+
+  Your guilt (for guilt it is to mourn
+    When such a sovereign reigns),
+  Your guilt diminish; peace pursue;
+    How glorious peace in pains!
+
+  Here, then, your sorrows cease; if not,
+    Think how unhappy they,
+  Who guilt increase by streaming tears,
+    Which guilt should wash away;
+
+  Of tears that gush profuse restrain;
+    Whence burst those dismal sighs?
+  They from the throbbing breast of one
+    (Strange truth!) most happy rise;
+
+  Not angels (hear it, and exult!)
+    Enjoy a larger share
+  Than is indulg'd to you, and yours,
+    Of God's impartial care;
+
+  Anxious for each, as if on each
+    His care for all was thrown;
+  For all his care as absolute,
+    As all had been but one.
+
+  And is he then so near! so kind!--
+    How little then, and great,
+  That riddle, man! O! let me gaze
+    At wonders in his fate;
+
+  His fate, who yesterday did crawl
+    A worm from darkness deep,
+  And shall, with brother worms, beneath
+    A turf, to-morrow sleep;
+
+  How mean!--And yet, if well obey'd
+    His mighty Master's call,
+  The whole creation for mean man
+    Is deem'd a boon too small:
+
+  Too small the whole creation deem'd
+    For emmets in the dust!
+  Account amazing! yet most true;
+    My song is bold, yet just:
+
+  Man born for infinite, in whom
+    Nor period can destroy
+  The power, in exquisite extremes,
+    To suffer, or enjoy;
+
+  Give him earth's empire (if no more)
+    He's beggar'd, and undone!
+  Imprison'd in unbounded space!
+    Benighted by the sun!
+
+  For what the sun's meridian blaze
+    To the most feeble ray
+  Which glimmers from the distant dawn
+    Of uncreated day?
+
+  'Tis not the poet's rapture feign'd
+    Swells here the vain to please;
+  The mind most sober kindles most
+    At truths sublime as these;
+
+  They warm e'en me.--I dare not say,
+    Divine ambition strove
+  Not to bless only, but confound,
+    Nay, fright us with its love;
+
+  And yet so frightful what, or kind,
+    As that the rending rock,
+  The darken'd sun, and rising dead,
+    So formidable spoke?
+
+  And are we darker than that sun?
+    Than rocks more hard, and blind?
+  We are;--if not to such a God
+    In agonies resigned.
+
+  Yes, e'en in agonies forbear
+    To doubt almighty love;
+  Whate'er endears eternity,
+    Is mercy from above;
+
+  What most imbitters time, that most
+    Eternity endears,
+  And thus, by plunging in distress,
+    Exalts us to the spheres;
+
+  Joy's fountain head! where bliss o'er bliss,
+    O'er wonders wonders rise,
+  And an Omnipotence prepares
+    Its banquet for the wise:
+
+  Ambrosial banquet! rich in wines
+    Nectareous to the soul!
+  What transports sparkle from the stream,
+    As angels fill the bowl!
+
+  Fountain profuse of every bliss!
+    Good-will immense prevails;
+  Man's line can't fathom its profound
+    An angel's plummet fails.
+
+  Thy love and might, by what they know,
+    Who judge, nor dream of more;
+  They ask a drop, how deep the sea!
+    One sand, how wide the shore!
+
+  Of thy exuberant good-will,
+    Offended Deity!
+  The thousandth part who comprehends,
+    A deity is he.
+
+  How yonder ample azure field
+    With radiant worlds is sown!
+  How tubes astonish us with those
+    More deep in ether thrown!
+
+  And those beyond of brighter worlds
+    Why not a million more?--
+  In lieu of answer, let us all
+    Fall prostrate, and adore.
+
+  Since thou art infinite in power,
+    Nor thy indulgence less;
+  Since man, quite impotent and blind,
+    Oft drops into distress;
+
+  Say, what is resignation? 'T is
+    Man's weakness understood;
+  And wisdom grasping, with a hand
+    Far stronger, every good.
+
+  Let rash repiners stand appall'd,
+    In thee who dare not trust;
+  Whose abject souls, like demons dark,
+    Are murmuring in the dust;
+
+  For man to murmur, or repine
+    At what by thee is done,
+  No less absurd, than to complain
+    Of darkness in the sun.
+
+  Who would not, with a heart at ease,
+    Bright eye, unclouded brow,
+  Wisdom and goodness at the helm,
+    The roughest ocean plough?
+
+  What, though I'm swallow'd in the deep?
+    Though mountains o'er me roar?
+  Jehovah reigns! as Jonah safe,
+    I'm landed, and adore:
+
+  Thy will is welcome, let it wear
+    Its most tremendous form;
+  Roar, waves; rage, winds! I know that thou
+    Canst save me by a storm.
+
+  From the immortal spirits born,
+    To thee, their fountain, flow,
+  If wise; as curl'd around to theirs
+    Meandering streams below:
+
+  Not less compell'd by reason's call,
+    To thee our souls aspire,
+  Than to thy skies, by nature's law,
+    High mounts material fire;
+
+  To thee aspiring they exult,
+    I feel my spirits rise,
+  I feel myself thy son, and pant
+    For patrimonial skies;
+
+  Since ardent thirst of future good,
+    And generous sense of past,
+  To thee man's prudence strongly ties,
+    And binds affection fast;
+
+  Since great thy love, and great our want,
+    And men the wisest blind,
+  And bliss our aim; pronounce us all
+    Distracted, or resigned;
+
+  Resign'd through duty, interest, shame;
+    Deep shame! dare I complain,
+  When (wondrous truth!) in heaven itself
+    Joy ow'd its birth to pain?
+
+  And pain for me! for me was drain'd
+    Gall's overflowing bowl;
+  And shall one drop to murmur bold
+    Provoke my guilty soul?
+
+  If pardon'd this, what cause, what crime
+    Can indignation raise?
+  The sun was lighted up to shine,
+    And man was born to praise;
+
+  And when to praise the man shall cease,
+    Or sun to strike the view;
+  A cloud dishonors both; but man's
+    The blacker of the two:
+
+  For oh! ingratitude how black!
+    With most profound amaze
+  At love, which man belov'd o'erlooks,
+    Astonish'd angels gaze.
+
+  Praise cheers, and warms, like generous wine;
+    Praise, more divine than prayer;
+  Prayer points our ready path to heaven;
+    Praise is already there.
+
+  Let plausive resignation rise,
+    And banish all complaint;
+  All virtues thronging into one,
+    It finishes the saint;
+
+  Makes the man bless'd, as man can be;
+    Life's labours renders light;
+  Darts beams through fate's incumbent gloom,
+    And lights our sun by night;
+
+  'T is nature's brightest ornament,
+    The richest gift of grace,
+  Rival of angels, and supreme
+    Proprietor of peace;
+
+  Nay, peace beyond, no small degree
+    Of rapture 't will impart;
+  Know, madam! when your heart's in heaven,
+    "All heaven is in your heart."
+
+  But who to heaven their hearts can raise?
+    Denied divine support,
+  All virtue dies; support divine
+    The wise with ardour court:
+
+  When prayer partakes the seraph's fire,
+    'T is mounted on his wing,
+  Bursts thro' heaven's crystal gates, and
+    Sure audience of its king:
+
+  The labouring soul from sore distress
+    That bless'd expedient frees;
+  I see you far advanc'd in peace;
+    I see you on your knees:
+
+  How on that posture has the beam
+    Divine for ever shone!
+  An humble heart, God's other seat!(58)
+    The rival of his throne:
+
+  And stoops Omnipotence so low!
+    And condescends to dwell,
+  Eternity's inhabitant,
+    Well pleas'd, in such a cell?
+
+  Such honour how shall we repay?
+    How treat our guest divine?
+  The sacrifice supreme be slain!
+    Let self-will die: resign.
+
+  Thus far, at large, on our disease;
+    Now let the cause be shown,
+  Whence rises, and will ever rise,
+    The dismal human groan:
+
+  What our sole fountain of distress?
+    Strong passion for this scene;
+  That trifles make important, things
+    Of mighty moment mean:
+
+  When earth's dark maxims poison shed
+    On our polluted souls,
+  Our hearts and interests fly as far
+    Asunder, as the poles.
+
+  Like princes in a cottage nurs'd,
+    Unknown their royal race,
+  With abject aims, and sordid joys,
+    Our grandeur we disgrace;
+
+  O! for an Archimedes new,
+    Of moral powers possess'd,
+  The world to move, and quite expel
+    That traitor from the breast.
+
+  No small advantage may be reap'd
+    From thought whence we descend;
+  From weighing well, and prizing weigh'd
+    Our origin, and end:
+
+  From far above the glorious sun
+    To this dim scene we came:
+  And may, if wise, for ever bask
+    In great Jehovah's beam:
+
+  Let that bright beam on reason rous'd
+    In awful lustre rise,
+  Earth's giant ills are dwarf'd at once,
+    And all disquiet dies.
+
+  Earth's glories too their splendour lose,
+    Those phantoms charm no more;
+  Empire's a feather for a fool,
+    And Indian mines are poor:
+
+  Then levell'd quite, whilst yet alive,
+    The monarch and his slave;
+  Not wait enlighten'd minds to learn
+    That lesson from the grave:
+
+  A George the Third would then be low
+    As Lewis in renown,
+  Could he not boast of glory more
+    Than sparkles from a crown.
+
+  When human glory rises high
+    As human glory can;
+  When, though the king is truly great,
+    Still greater is the man;
+
+  The man is dead, where virtue fails;
+    And though the monarch proud
+  In grandeur shines, his gorgeous robe
+    Is but a gaudy shroud.
+
+  Wisdom! where art thou? None on earth,
+    Though grasping wealth, fame, power,
+  But what, O death! through thy approach,
+    Is wiser every hour;
+
+  Approach how swift, how unconfin'd!
+    Worms feast on viands rare,
+  Those little epicures have kings
+    To grace their bill of fare:
+
+  From kings what resignation due
+    To that almighty will,
+  Which thrones bestows, and, when they fail,
+    Can throne them higher still!
+
+  Who truly great? The good and brave,
+    The masters of a mind
+  The will divine to do resolv'd,
+    To suffer it resign'd.
+
+  Madam! if that may give it weight,
+    The trifle you receive
+  Is dated from a solemn scene,
+    The border of the grave;
+
+  Where strongly strikes the trembling soul
+    Eternity's dread power,
+  As bursting on it through the thin
+    Partition of an hour;
+
+  Hear this, Voltaire! but this, from me,
+    Runs hazard of your frown;
+  However, spare it; ere you die,
+    Such thoughts will be your own.
+
+  In mercy to yourself forbear
+    My notions to chastise,
+  Lest unawares the gay Voltaire
+    Should blame Voltaire the wise:
+
+  Fame's trumpet rattling in your ear,
+    Now, makes us disagree;
+  When a far louder trumpet sounds,
+    Voltaire will close with me:
+
+  How shocking is that modesty,
+    Which keeps some honest men
+  From urging what their hearts suggest,
+    When brav'd by folly's pen.
+
+  Assaulting truths, of which in all
+    Is sown the sacred seed!
+  Our constitution's orthodox,
+    And closes with our creed:
+
+  What then are they, whose proud conceits
+    Superior wisdom boast?
+  Wretches, who fight their own belief,
+    And labour to be lost!
+
+  Though vice by no superior joys
+    Her heroes keeps in pay;
+  Through pure disinterested love
+    Of ruin they obey!
+
+  Strict their devotion to the wrong,
+    Though tempted by no prize;
+  Hard their commandments, and their creed
+    A magazine of lies
+
+  From fancy's forge: gay fancy smiles
+    At reason plain, and cool;
+  Fancy, whose curious trade it is
+    To make the finest fool.
+
+  Voltaire! long life's the greatest curse
+    That mortals can receive,
+  When they imagine the chief end
+    Of living is to live;
+
+  Quite thoughtless of their day of death,
+    That birthday of their sorrow!
+  Knowing, it may be distant far,
+    Nor crush them till--to-morrow.
+
+  These are cold, northern thoughts, conceiv'd
+    Beneath an humble cot;
+  Not mine, your genius, or your state,
+    No castle is my lot:(59)
+
+  But soon, quite level shall we lie;
+    And, what pride most bemoans,
+  Our parts, in rank so distant now,
+    As level as our bones;
+
+  Hear you that sound? Alarming sound!
+    Prepare to meet your fate!
+  One, who writes finis to our works,
+    Is knocking at the gate;
+
+  Far other works will soon be weigh'd;
+    Far other judges sit;
+  Far other crowns be lost or won,
+    Than fire ambitious wit:
+
+  Their wit far brightest will be prov'd,
+    Who sunk it in good sense;
+  And veneration most profound
+    Of dread omnipotence.
+
+  'Tis that alone unlocks the gate
+    Of blest eternity;
+  O! mayst thou never, never lose
+    That more than golden key!(60)
+
+  Whate'er may seem too rough excuse,
+    Your good I have at heart:
+  Since from my soul I wish you well;
+    As yet we must not part:
+
+  Shall you, and I, in love with life,
+    Life's future schemes contrive,
+  The world in wonder not unjust,
+    That we are still alive?
+
+  What have we left? How mean in man
+    A shadow's shade to crave!
+  When life, so vain! is vainer still,
+    'Tis time to take your leave:
+
+  Happier, than happiest life, is death,
+    Who, falling in the field
+  Of conflict with his rebel will,
+    Writes vici, on his shield;
+
+  So falling man, immortal heir
+    Of an eternal prize;
+  Undaunted at the gloomy grave,
+    Descends into the skies.
+
+  O! how disorder'd our machine,
+    When contradictions mix!
+  When nature strikes no less than twelve,
+    And folly points at six!
+
+  To mend the moments of your heart,
+    How great is my delight
+  Gently to wind your morals up,
+    And set your hand aright!
+
+  That hand, which spread your wisdom wide
+    To poison distant lands:
+  Repent, recant; the tainted age
+    Your antidote demands;
+
+  To Satan dreadfully resign'd,
+    Whole herds rush down the steep
+  Of folly, by lewd wits possess'd,
+    And perish in the deep.
+
+  Men's praise your vanity pursues;
+    'Tis well, pursue it still;
+  But let it be of men deceas'd,
+    And you'll resign the will;
+
+  And how superior they to those
+    At whose applause you aim;
+  How very far superior they
+    In number, and in name!
+
+
+
+
+                               Postscript.
+
+
+  Thus have I written, when to write
+    No mortal should presume;
+  Or only write, what none can blame,
+    Hic jacet--for his tomb:
+
+  The public frowns, and censures loud
+    My puerile employ;
+  Though just the censure, if you smile,
+    The scandal I enjoy;
+
+  But sing no more--no more I sing
+    Or reassume the lyre,
+  Unless vouchsaf'd an humble part
+    Where Raphael leads the choir:
+
+  What myriads swell the concert loud!
+    Their golden harps resound
+  High as the footstool of the throne,
+    And deep as hell profound:
+
+  Hell (horrid contrast!) chord and song
+    Of raptur'd angels drowns
+  In self-will's peal of blasphemies,
+    And hideous burst of groans;
+
+  But drowns them not to me; I hear
+    Harmonious thunders roll
+  (In language low of men to speak)
+    From echoing pole to pole!
+
+  Whilst this grand chorus shakes the skies--
+    "Above, beneath the sun,
+  Through boundless age, by men, by gods,
+    Jehovah's will be done!"
+
+  'Tis done in heaven; whence headlong hurl'd
+    Self-will with Satan fell;
+  And must from earth be banish'd too,
+    Or earth's another hell;
+
+  Madam! self-will inflicts your pains:
+    Self-will's the deadly foe
+  Which deepens all the dismal shades,
+    And points the shafts of woe:
+
+  Your debt to nature fully paid,
+    Now virtue claims her due:
+  But virtue's cause I need not plead,
+    'Tis safe; I write to you:
+
+  You know, that virtue's basis lies
+    In ever judging right;
+  And wiping error's clouds away,
+    Which dim the mental sight:
+
+  Why mourn the dead? you wrong the grave,
+    From storm that safe resort;
+  We still are tossing out at sea,
+    Our admiral in port.
+
+  Was death denied, this world, a scene
+    How dismal and forlorn!
+  To death we owe, that 'tis to man
+    A blessing to be born;
+
+  When every other blessing fails,
+    Or sapp'd by slow decay,
+  Or, storm'd by sudden blasts of fate,
+    Is swiftly whirl'd away;
+
+  How happy! that no storm, or time,
+    Of death can rob the just!
+  None pluck from their unaching heads
+    Soft pillows in the dust!
+
+  Well pleas'd to bear heaven's darkest frown,
+    Your utmost power employ;
+  'Tis noble chemistry to turn
+    Necessity to joy.
+
+  Whate'er the colour of my fate,
+    My fate shall be my choice:
+  Determin'd am I, whilst I breathe,
+    To praise and to rejoice;
+
+  What ample cause! triumphant hope!
+    O rich eternity!
+  I start not at a world in flames,
+    Charm'd with one glimpse of thee:
+
+  And thou! its great inhabitant!
+    How glorious dost thou shine!
+  And dart through sorrow, danger, death,
+    A beam of joy divine!
+
+  The void of joy (with some concern
+    The truth severe I tell)
+  Is an impenitent in guilt,
+    A fool or infidel!
+
+  Weigh this, ye pupils of Voltaire!
+    From joyless murmur free;
+  Or, let us know, which character
+    Shall crown you of the three.
+
+  Resign, resign: this lesson none
+    Too deeply can instill;
+  A crown has been resign'd by more,
+    Than have resign'd the will;
+
+  Though will resign'd the meanest makes
+    Superior in renown,
+  And richer in celestial eyes,
+    Than he who wears a crown;
+
+  Hence, in the bosom cold of age,
+    It kindled a strange aim
+  To shine in song; and bid me boast
+    The grandeur of my theme:
+
+  But oh! how far presumption falls
+    Its lofty theme below!
+  Our thoughts in life's December freeze,
+    And numbers cease to flow.
+
+  First! greatest! best! grant what I wrote
+    For others, ne'er may rise
+  To brand the writer! thou alone
+    Canst make our wisdom wise;
+
+  And how unwise! how deep in guilt!
+    How infamous the fault!
+  "A teacher thron'd in pomp of words,
+    Indeed, beneath the taught!"
+
+  Means most infallible to make
+    The world an infidel;
+  And, with instructions most divine,
+    To pave a path to hell;
+
+  O! for a clean and ardent heart,
+    O! for a soul on fire,
+  Thy praise, begun on earth, to sound
+    Where angels string the lyre;
+
+  How cold is man! to him how hard
+    (Hard, what most easy seems)
+  "To set a just esteem on that,
+    Which yet he--most esteems!"
+
+  What shall we say, when boundless bliss
+    Is offer'd to mankind,
+  And to that offer when a race
+    Of rationals is blind?
+
+  Of human nature ne'er too high
+    Are our ideas wrought;
+  Of human merit ne'er too low
+    Depress'd the daring thought.

+
+   ON THE LATE QUEEN'S DEATH, AND HIS MAJESTY'S ACCESSION TO THE THRONE
+
+
+  Inscribed to Joseph Addison, Esq. Secretary to Their Excellencies the
+                             Lords Justices.
+
+
+      Gaudia curis.
+
+                                                                 --HOR.
+
+
+  Sir, I have long, and with impatience, sought
+  To ease the fulness of my grateful thought,
+  My fame at once, and duty to pursue,
+  And please the public, by respect to you.
+    Though you, long since beyond Britannia known,
+  Have spread your country's glory with your own;
+  To me you never did more lovely shine,
+  Than when so late the kindled wrath divine
+  Quench'd our ambition, in great Anna's fate,
+  And darken'd all the pomp of human state.
+  Though you are rich in fame, and fame decay,
+  Though rais'd in life, and greatness fade away,
+  Your lustre brightens: virtue cuts the gloom
+  With purer rays, and sparkles near a tomb.
+    Know, sir, the great esteem and honour due,
+  I chose that moment to profess to you,
+  When sadness reign'd, when fortune, so severe,
+  Had warm'd our bosoms to be most sincere.
+  And when no motives could have force to raise
+  A serious value, and provoke my praise,
+  But such as rise above, and far transcend,
+  Whatever glories with this world shall end,
+  Then shining forth, when deepest shades shall blot
+  The sun's bright orb, and Cato be forgot.
+  I sing--but ah! my theme I need not tell,
+  See every eye with conscious sorrow swell:
+  Who now to verse would raise his humble voice,
+  Can only show his duty, not his choice.
+  How great the weight of grief our hearts sustain!
+  We languish, and to speak is to complain.
+    Let us look back, (for who too oft can view
+  That most illustrious scene, for ever new!)
+  See all the seasons shine on Anna's throne,
+  And pay a constant tribute, not their own.
+  Her summer's heats nor fruits alone bestow,
+  They reap the harvest, and subdue the foe;
+  And when black storms confess the distant sun,
+  Her winters wear the wreaths her summers won.
+  Revolving pleasures in their turns appear,
+  And triumphs are the product of the year.
+  To crown the whole, great joys in greater cease,
+  And glorious victory is lost in peace.
+    Whence this profusion on our favour'd isle?
+  Did partial fortune on our virtue smile?
+  Or did the sceptre, in great Anna's hand,
+  Stretch forth this rich indulgence o'er our land?
+  Ungrateful Britain! quit thy groundless claim,
+  Thy queen and thy good fortune are the same.
+    Hear, with alarms our trumpets fill the sky;
+  'Tis Anna reigns! the Gallic squadrons fly.
+  We spread our canvass to the southern shore;
+  'Tis Anna reigns! the south resigns her store.
+  Her virtue smooths the tumult of the main,
+  And swells the field with mountains of the slain
+  Argyll and Churchill but the glory share,
+  While millions lie subdu'd by Anna's prayer.
+    How great her zeal! how fervent her desire!
+  How did her soul in holy warmth expire!
+  Constant devotion did her time divide,
+  Not set returns of pleasure or of pride.
+  Not want of rest, or the sun's parting ray,
+  But finish'd duty, limited the day.
+  How sweet succeeding sleep! what lovely themes
+  Smil'd in her thoughts, and soften'd all her dreams!
+  Her royal couch descending angels spread,
+  And join'd their wings a shelter o'er her head.
+    Though Europe's wealth and glory claim'd a part,
+  Religion's cause reign'd mistress of her heart:
+  She saw, and griev'd to see, the mean estate
+  Of those who round the hallow'd altar wait;
+  She shed her bounty, piously profuse,
+  And thought it more her own in sacred use.
+    Thus on his furrow see the tiller stand,
+  And fill with genial seed his lavish hand;
+  He trusts the kindness of the fruitful plain,
+  And providently scatters all his grain.
+    What strikes my sight? does proud Augusta rise
+  New to behold, and awfully surprise!
+  Her lofty brow more numerous turrets crown,
+  And sacred domes on palaces look down:
+  A noble pride of piety is shown,
+  And temples cast a lustre on the throne.
+  How would this work another's glory raise!
+  But Anna's greatness robs her of the praise.
+  Drown'd in a brighter blaze it disappears,
+  Who dried the widow's and the orphan's tears?
+  Who stoop'd from high to succour the distrest
+  And reconcile the wounded heart to rest?
+  Great in her goodness, well could we perceive,
+  Whoever sought, it was a queen that gave.
+  Misfortune lost her name, her guiltless frown
+  But made another debtor to the crown;
+  And each unfriendly stroke from fate we bore,
+  Became our title to the regal store.
+    Thus injur'd trees adopt a foreign shoot,
+  And their wounds blossom with a fairer fruit.
+    Ye numbers, who on your misfortunes thriv'd,
+  When first the dreadful blast of fame arriv'd,
+  Say what a shock, what agonies you felt,
+  How did your souls with tender anguish melt!
+  That grief which living Anna's love suppress'd,
+  Shook like a tempest every grateful breast,
+  A second fate our sinking fortunes tried!
+  A second time our tender parents died!
+    Heroes returning from the field we crown,
+  And deify the haughty victor's frown.
+  His splendid wealth too rashly we admire,
+  Catch the disease, and burn with equal fire:
+  Wisely to spend, is the great art of gain;
+  And one reliev'd transcends a million slain.
+  When time shall ask, where once Ramillia lay,
+  Or Danube flow'd that swept whole troops away,
+  One drop of water, that refresh'd the dry,
+  Shall rise a fountain of eternal joy.
+    But ah! to that unknown and distant date
+  Is virtue's great reward push'd off by fate;
+  Here random shafts in every breast are found,
+  Virtue and merit but provoke the wound.
+  August in native worth and regal state,
+  Anna sate arbitress of Europe's fate;
+  To distant realms did every accent fly,
+  And nations watch'd each motion of her eye.
+  Silent, nor longer awful to be seen,
+  How small a spot contains the mighty queen!
+  No throng of suppliant princes mark the place,
+  Where Britain's greatness is compos'd in peace:
+  The broken earth is scarce discern'd to rise,
+  And a stone tells us where the monarch lies.
+    Thus end maturest honours of the crown!
+  This is the last conclusion of renown!
+    So when with idle skill the wanton boy
+  Breathes through his tube; he sees, with eager joy,
+  The trembling bubble, in its rising small;
+  And by degrees expands the glittering ball.
+  But when, to full perfection blown, it flies
+  High in the air, and shines in various dyes,
+  The little monarch, with a falling tear,
+  Sees his world burst at once, and disappear,
+  'Tis not in sorrow to reverse our doom,
+  No groans unlock th' inexorable tomb!
+  Why then this fond indulgence of our woe!
+  What fruit can rise, or what advantage flow!
+  Yes, this advantage; from our deep distress
+  We learn how much in George the gods can bless
+  Had a less glorious princess left the throne,
+  But half the hero had at first been shown:
+  An Anna falling all the king employs,
+  To vindicate from guilt our rising joys:
+  Our joys arise and innocently shine,
+  Auspicious monarch! what a praise is thine!
+    Welcome, great stranger, to Britannia's throne!
+  Nor let thy country think thee all her own.
+  Of thy delay how oft did we complain!
+  Our hopes reach'd out, and met thee on the main.
+  With prayer we smooth the billows for thy fleet;
+  With ardent wishes fill thy swelling sheet;
+  And when thy foot took place on Albion's shore,
+  We bending bless'd the gods, and ask'd no more.
+  What hand but thine should conquer and compose,
+  Join those whom interest joins, and chase our foes?
+  Repel the daring youth's presumptuous aim,
+  And by his rival's greatness give him fame?
+  Now in some foreign court he may sit down,
+  And quit without a blush the British crown.
+  Secure his honour, though he lose his store,
+  And take a lucky moment to be poor.
+    Nor think, great sir, now first, at this late hour,
+  In Britain's favour, you exert your power;
+  To us, far back in time, I joy to trace
+  The numerous tokens of your princely grace.
+  Whether you chose to thunder on the Rhine,
+  Inspire grave councils, or in courts to shine;
+  In the more scenes your genius was display'd,
+  The greater debt was on Britannia laid:
+  They all conspir'd this mighty man to raise,
+  And your new subjects proudly share the praise.
+    All share; but may not we have leave to boast
+  That we contemplate, and enjoy it most?
+  This ancient nurse of arts, indulged by fate
+  On gentle Isis' bank, a calm retreat;
+  For many roiling ages justly fam'd,
+  Has through the world her loyalty proclaim'd;
+  And often pour'd (too well the truth is known!)
+  Her blood and treasure to support the throne!
+  For England's church her latest accents strain'd;
+  And freedom with his dying hand retain'd.
+  No wonder then her various ranks agree
+  In all the fervencies of zeal for thee.
+    What though thy birth a distant kingdom boast,
+  And seas divide thee from the British coast?
+  The crown's impatient to enclose thy head:
+  Why stay thy feet? the cloth of gold is spread.
+  Our strict obedience through the world shall tell
+  That king's a Briton, who can govern well!
+
+
+
+
+
+                             THE INSTALMENT.
+
+
+ To the Right Hon. Sir Robert Walpole, Knight of the Most Noble Order of
+                               the Garter.
+
+
+      Quaesitam meritis.
+
+                                                                 --HOR.
+
+
+  With invocations some their breasts inflame;
+  I need no muse, a Walpole is my theme.
+  Ye mighty dead, ye garter'd sons of praise!
+  Our morning stars! our boast in former days!
+  Which hovering o'er, your purple wings display,
+  Lur'd by the pomp of this distinguish'd day,
+  Stoop, and attend: by one, the knee be bound;
+  One, throw the mantle's crimson folds around;
+  By that, the sword on his proud thigh be plac'd;
+  This, clasp the diamond girdle round his waist;
+  His breast, with rays, let just Godolphin spread;
+  Wise Burleigh plant the plumage on his head;
+  And Edward own, since first he fix'd the race,
+  None press'd fair glory with a swifter pace.
+    When fate would call some mighty genius forth
+  To wake a drooping age to godlike worth,
+  Or aid some favourite king's illustrious toil,
+  It bids his blood with generous ardour boil;
+  His blood, from virtue's celebrated source,
+  Pour'd down the steep of time, a lengthen'd course;
+  That men prepar'd may just attention pay,
+  Warn'd by the dawn to mark the glorious day,
+  When all the scatter'd merits of his line
+  Collected to a point, intensely shine.
+  See, Britain, see thy Walpole shine from far,
+  His azure ribbon, and his radiant star;
+  A star that, with auspicious beams, shall guide
+  Thy vessel safe, through fortune's roughest tide.
+    If peace still smiles, by this shall commerce steer
+  A finish'd course, in triumph round the sphere;
+  And, gathering tribute from each distant shore,
+  In Britain's lap the world's abundance pour.
+    If war's ordain'd, this star shall dart its beams
+  Through that black cloud which, rising from the Thames,
+  With thunder, form'd of Brunswick's wrath, is sent
+  To claim the seas, and awe the continent.
+  This shall direct it where the bolt to throw,
+  A star for us, a comet to the foe.
+    At this the muse shall kindle, and aspire:
+  My breast, O Walpole, glows with grateful fire.
+  The streams of royal bounty, turn'd by thee,
+  Refresh the dry domains of poesy.
+  My fortune shows, when arts are Walpole's care,
+  What slender worth forbids us to despair:
+  Be this thy partial smile from censure free;
+  'Twas meant for merit, though it fell on me.
+    Since Brunswick's smile has authoris'd my muse,
+  Chaste be her conduct, and sublime her views.
+  False praises are the whoredoms of the pen,
+  Which prostitute fair fame to worthless men:
+  This profanation of celestial fire
+  Makes fools despise, what wise men should admire.
+  Let those I praise to distant times be known,
+  Not by their author's merit, but their own.
+  If others think the task is hard, to weed
+  From verse rank flattery's vivacious seed,
+  And rooted deep; one means must set them free,
+  Patron! and patriot! let them sing of thee.
+    While vulgar trees ignobler honours wear,
+  Nor those retain, when winter chills the year;
+  The generous orange, favourite of the sun,
+  With vigorous charms can through the seasons run;
+  Defies the storm with her tenacious green;
+  And flowers and fruits in rival pomp are seen:
+  Where blossoms fall, still fairer blossoms spring;
+  And midst their sweets the feather'd poets sing.
+    On Walpole, thus, may pleas'd Britannia view
+  At once her ornament and profit too;
+  The fruit of service, and the bloom of fame,
+  Matur'd and gilded by the royal beam.
+  He, when the nipping blasts of envy rise
+  Its guilt can pity, and its rage despise;
+  Lets fall no honours, but, securely great,
+  Unfaded holds the colour of his fate:
+  No winter knows, though ruffling factions press;
+  By wisdom deeply rooted in success;
+  One glory shed, a brighter is display'd;(61)
+  And the charm'd muses shelter in his shade.
+    O how I long, enkindled by the theme,
+  In deep eternity to launch thy name!
+  Thy name in view, no rights of verse I plead,
+  But what chaste truth indites, old time shall read.
+  "Behold! a man of ancient faith and blood,
+  Which, soon, beat high for arts, and public good;
+  Whose glory great, but natural appears,
+  The genuine growth of services and years;
+  No sudden exhalation drawn on high,
+  And fondly gilt by partial majesty:
+  One bearing greatest toils with greatest ease,
+  One born to serve us, and yet born to please:
+  Whom, while our rights in equal scales he lays,
+  The prince may trust, and yet the people praise;
+  His genius ardent, yet his judgment clear,
+  His tongue is flowing, and his heart sincere,
+  His counsel guides, his temper cheers our isle,
+  And, smiling, gives three kingdoms cause to smile."
+    Joy then to Britain, blest with such a son,
+  To Walpole joy, by whom the prize is won;
+  Who nobly conscious meets the smiles of fate;
+  True greatness lies in daring to be great.
+  Let dastard souls, or affectation, run
+  To shades, nor wear bright honours fairly won;
+  Such men prefer, misled by false applause,
+  The pride of modesty to virtue's cause.
+  Honours, which make the face of virtue fair,
+  'Tis great to merit, and 'tis wise to wear;
+  'Tis holding up the prize to public view,
+  Confirms grown virtue, and inflames the new;
+  Heightens the lustre of our age and clime,
+  And sheds rich seeds of worth for future time.
+    Proud chiefs alone, in fields of slaughter fam'd,
+  Of old, this azure bloom of glory claim'd,
+  As when stern Ajax pour'd a purple flood,
+  The violet rose, fair daughter of his blood.
+  Now rival wisdom dares the wreath divide,
+  And both Minervas rise in equal pride;
+  Proclaiming loud, a monarch fills the throne,
+  Who shines illustrious not in wars alone.
+    Let fame look lovely in Britannia's eyes;
+  They coldly court desert, who fame despise.
+  For what's ambition, but fair virtue's sail?
+  And what applause, but her propitious gale?
+  When swell'd with that, she fleets before the wind
+  To glorious aims, as to the port design'd;
+  When chain'd, without it, to the labouring oar,
+  She toils! she pants! nor gains the flying shore,
+  From her sublime pursuits, or turn'd aside
+  By blasts of envy, or by fortune's tide:
+  For one that has succeeded ten are lost,
+  Of equal talents, ere they make the coast.
+    Then let renown to worth divine incite,
+  With all her beams, but throw those beams aright.
+  Then merit droops, and genius downward tends,
+  When godlike glory, like our land, descends.
+  Custom the garter long confin'd to few,
+  And gave to birth, exalted virtue's due:
+  Walpole has thrown the proud enclosure down;
+  And high desert embraces fair renown.
+  Though rival'd, let the peerage smiling see
+  (Smiling, in justice to their own degree)
+  This proud reward by majesty bestow'd
+  On worth like that whence first the peerage flow'd.
+  From frowns of fate Britannia's bliss'd to guard,
+  Let subjects merit, and let kings reward.
+  Gods are most gods by giving to excel,
+  And kings most like them, by rewarding well.
+    Though strong the twanging nerve, and drawn aright,
+  Short is the winged arrow's upward flight;
+  But if an eagle it transfix on high,
+  Lodg'd in the wound, it soars into the sky.
+
+  Thus while I sing thee with unequal lays,
+  And wound perhaps that worth I mean to praise;
+  Yet I transcend myself, I rise in fame,
+  Not lifted by my genius, but my theme.
+    No more: for in this dread suspense of fate,
+  Now kingdoms fluctuate, and in dark debate
+  Weigh peace and war, now Europe's eyes are bent
+  On mighty Brunswick, for the great event,
+  Brunswick of kings the terror or defence!
+  Who dares detain thee at a world's expense?
+
+
+
+
+
+           AND EPISTLE TO THE RIGHT HON. GEORGE LORD LANSDOWNE.
+
+
+                                  1712.
+
+
+                            Parnassia laurus
+      Parva sub ingenti matris se subjicit umbra.
+
+                                                                --VIRG.
+
+
+  When Rome, my lord, in her full glory shone,
+  And great Augustus rul'd the globe alone,
+  While suppliant kings in all their pomp and state
+  Swarm'd in his courts, and throng'd his palace gate;
+  Horace did oft the mighty man detain,
+  And sooth'd his breast with no ignoble strain;
+  Now soar'd aloft, now struck an humbler string;
+  And taught the Roman genius how to sing.
+    Pardon, if I his freedom dare pursue,
+  Who know no want of Caesar, finding you;
+  The muse's friend is pleas'd the muse should press
+  Through circling crowds, and labor for access,
+  That partial to his darling he may prove,
+  And shining throngs for her reproach remove,
+  To all the world industrious to proclaim
+  His love of arts, and boast the glorious flame.
+    Long has the western world reclin'd her head,
+  Pour'd forth her sorrow, and bewail'd her dead;
+  Fell discord through her borders fiercely rang'd,
+  And shook her nations, and her monarchs chang'd;
+  By land and sea, its utmost rage employ'd;
+  Nor heaven repair'd so fast as men destroy'd.
+  In vain kind summers plentuous fields bestow'd,
+  In vain the vintage liberally flow'd;
+  Alarms from loaden boards all pleasures chas'd,
+  And robb'd the rich Burgundian grape of taste;
+  The smiles of Nature could no blessing bring,
+  The fruitful autumn, or the flowery spring;
+  Time was distinguish'd by the sword and spear,
+  Not by the various aspects of the year;
+  The trumpet's sound proclaim'd a milder sky,
+  And bloodshed told us when the sun was nigh.
+    But now (so soon is Britain's blessing seen,
+  When such as you are near her glorious queen!)
+  Now peace, though long repuls'd, arrives at last,
+  And bids us smile on all our labours past;
+  Bids every nation cease her wonted moan,
+  And every monarch call his crown his own:
+  To valour gentler virtues now succeed;
+  No longer is the great man born to bleed;
+  Renown'd in councils, brave Argyle shall tell,
+  Wisdom and prowess in one breast may dwell:
+  Through milder tracts he soars to deathless fame,
+  And without trembling we resound his name.
+    No more the rising harvest whets the sword,
+  No longer waves uncertain of its lord;
+  Who cast the seed, the golden sheaf shall claim,
+  Nor chance of battle change the master's name.
+  Each stream unstain'd with blood more smoothly flows;
+  The brighter sun a fuller day bestows;
+  All nature seems to wear a cheerful face,
+  And thank great Anna for returning peace.
+    The patient thus, when on his bed of pain,
+  No longer he invokes the gods in vain,
+  But rises to new life; in every field
+  He finds Elysium, rivers nectar yield;
+  Nothing so cheap and vulgar but can please,
+  And borrow beauties from his late disease.
+    Nor is it peace alone, but such a peace,
+  As more than bids the rage of battle cease.
+  Death may determine war, and rest succeed,
+  'Cause nought survives on which our rage may feed:
+  In faithful friends we lose our glorious foes,
+  And strifes of love exalt our sweet repose.
+  See graceful Bolingbroke, your friend, advance,
+  Nor miss his Lansdowne in the court of France;
+  So well receiv'd, so welcome, so at home,
+  (Blest change of fate,) in Bourbon's stately dome;
+  The monarch pleas'd, descending from his throne,
+  Will not that Anna call him all her own;
+  He claims a part, and looking round to find
+  Something might speak the fulness of his mind,
+  A diamond shines, which oft had touch'd him near,
+  Renew'd his grief, and robb'd him of a tear;
+  Now first with joy beheld, well plac'd on one,
+  Who makes him less regret his darling son;
+  So dear is Anna's minister, so great,
+  Your glorious friend in his own private state.
+    To make our nations longer two, in vain
+  Does nature interpose the raging main:
+  The Gallic shore to distant Britain grows,
+  For Lewis Thames, the Seine for Anna flows:
+  From conflicts pass'd each other's worth we find,
+  And thence in stricter friendship now are join'd;
+  Each wound receiv'd, now pleads the cause of love,
+  And former injuries endearments prove.
+  What Briton but must prize th' illustrious sword,
+  That cause of fear to Churchill could afford?
+  Who sworn to Bourbon's sceptre, but must frame
+  Vast thoughts of him, that could brave Tallard tame?
+  Thus generous hatred in affection ends,
+  And war, which rais'd the foes, completes the friends.
+  A thousand happy consequences flow
+  (The dazzling prospect makes my bosom glow);
+  Commerce shall lift her swelling sails, and roll
+  Her wealthy fleets secure from pole to pole;
+  The British merchant, who with care and pain
+  For many moons sees only skies and main;
+  When now in view of his loved native shore,
+  The perils of the dreadful ocean o'er,
+  Cause to regret his wealth no more shall find,
+  Nor curse the mercy of the sea and wind;
+  By hardest fate condemn'd to serve a foe,
+  And give him strength to strike a deeper blow.
+  Sweet Philomela providently flies
+  To distant woods and streams, for such supplies,
+  To feed her young, and make them try the wing,
+  And with their tender notes attempt to sing:
+  Meanwhile, the fowler spreads his secret snare,
+  And renders vain the tuneful mother's care.
+  Britannia's bold adventurer of late
+  The foaming ocean plow'd with equal fate.
+    Goodness is greatness in its utmost height,
+  And power a curse, if not a friend to right:
+  To conquer is to make dissension cease,
+  That man may serve the King of kings in peace.
+  Religion now shall all her rays dispense,
+  And shine abroad in perfect excellence;
+  Else we may dread some greater curse at hand,
+  To scourge a thoughtless and ungrateful land:
+  Now war is weary, and retir'd to rest;
+  The meagre famine, and the spotted pest,
+  Deputed in her stead, may blast the day,
+  And sweep the relics of the sword away.
+    When peaceful Numa fill'd the Roman throne,
+  Jove in the fulness of his glory shone;
+  Wise Solomon, a stranger to the sword,
+  Was born to raise a temple to the Lord.
+  Anne too shall build, and every sacred pile
+  Speak peace eternal to Britannia's isle.
+  Those mighty souls, whom military care
+  Diverted from their only great affair,
+  Shall bend their full united force, to bless
+  Th' Almighty Author of their late success.
+  And what is all the world subdued to this?
+  The grave sets bounds to sublunary bliss;
+  But there are conquests to great Anna known,
+  Above the splendour of an earthly throne;
+  Conquests! whose triumph is too great, within
+  The scanty bounds of matter to begin;
+  Too glorious to shine forth, till it has run
+  Beyond this darkness of the stars and sun,
+  And shall whole ages past be still, still but begun.
+    Heroic shades! whom war has swept away,
+  Look down, and smile on this auspicious day:
+  Now boast your deaths; to those your glory tell,
+  Who or at Agincourt or Cressy fell;
+  Then deep into eternity retire,
+  Of greater things than peace or war inquire;
+  Fully content, and unconcern'd, to know
+  What farther passes in the world below.
+    The bravest of mankind shall now have leave
+  To die but once, nor piece-meal seek the grave:
+  On gain or pleasure bent, we shall not meet
+  Sad melancholy numbers in each street
+  (Owners of bones dispers'd on Flandria's plain,
+  Or wasting in the bottom of the main);
+  To turn us back from joy, in tender fear,
+  Lest it an insult of their woes appear,
+  And make us grudge ourselves that wealth, their blood
+  Perhaps preserv'd, who starve, or beg for food.
+  Devotion shall run pure, and disengage
+  From that strange fate of mixing peace with rage.
+  On heaven without a sin we now may call,
+  And guiltless to our Maker prostrate fall;
+  Be Christians while we pray, nor in one breath
+  Ask mercy for ourselves, for others death.
+    But O! I view with transport arts restor'd,
+  Which double use to Britain shall afford;
+  Secure her glory purchas'd in the field,
+  And yet for future peace sweet motives yield:
+  While we contemplate on the painted wall,
+  The pressing Briton, and the flying Gaul,
+  In such bright images, such living grace,
+  As leave great Raphael but the second place;
+  Our cheeks shall glow, our heaving bosoms rise,
+  And martial ardours sparkle in our eyes;
+  Much we shall triumph in our battles past,
+  And yet consent those battles prove our last;
+  Lest, while in arms for brighter fame we strive,
+  We lose the means to keep that fame alive.
+    In silent groves the birds delight to sing,
+  Or near the margin of a secret spring:
+  Now all is calm, sweet music shall improve,
+  Nor kindle rage, but be the nurse of love.
+    But what's the warbling voice, the trembling string,
+  Or breathing canvass, when the muses sing?
+  The muse, my lord, your care above the rest,
+  With rising joy dilates my partial breast;
+  The thunder of the battle ceas'd to roar,
+  Ere Greece her godlike poets taught to soar;
+  Rome's dreadful foe, great Hannibal, was dead,
+  And all her warlike neighbours round her bled;
+  For Janus shut, her Ioe Paeans rung,
+  Before an Ovid or a Virgil sung.
+    A thousand various forms the muse may wear,
+  (A thousand various forms become the fair;)
+  But shines in none with more majestic mien,
+  Than when in state she draws the purple scene;
+  Calls forth her monarchs, bids her heroes rage,
+  And mourning beauty melt the crowded stage;
+  Charms back past ages, gives to Britain's use
+  The noblest virtues time did e'er produce;
+  Leaves fam'd historians' boasted art behind;
+  They keep the soul alone, and that's confin'd,
+  Sought out with pains, and but by proxy speaks
+  The hero's presence deep impression makes;
+  The scenes his soul and body reunite,
+  Furnish a voice, produce him to the sight;
+  Make our contemporary him that stood
+  High in renown, perhaps before the flood;
+  Make Nestor to this age advice afford,
+  And Hector for our service draw his sword.
+    More glory to an author what can bring,
+  Whence nobler service to his country spring,
+  Than from those labours, which, in man's despight,
+  Possess him with a passion for the right?
+  With honest magic make the knave inclin'd
+  To pay devotion to the virtuous mind;
+  Through all her toils and dangers bid him rove,
+  And with her wants and anguish fall in love?
+    Who hears the godlike Montezuma groan,
+  And does not wish the glorious pain his own?
+  Lend but your understanding, and their skill
+  Can domineer at pleasure o'er your will:
+  Nor is the short-liv'd conquest quickly past;
+  Shame, if not choice, will hold the convert fast.
+    How often have I seen the generous bowl
+  With pleasing force unlock a secret soul,
+  And steal a truth, which every sober hour
+  (The prose of life) had kept within her power!
+  The grape victorious often has prevail'd,
+  When gold and beauty, racks and tortures, fail'd:
+  Yet when the spirit's tumult was allay'd,
+  She mourn'd, perhaps, the sentiment betray'd;
+  But mourn'd too late, no longer could deny,
+  And on her own confession charge the lie.
+    Thus they, whom neither the prevailing love
+  Of goodness here, or mercy from above,
+  Or fear of future pains, or human laws
+  Could render advocates in virtue's cause,
+  Caught by the scene, have unawares resign'd
+  Their wonted disposition of the mind:
+  By slow degrees prevails the pleasing tale,
+  As circling glasses on our senses steal;
+  Till thoroughly by the muses' banquet warm'd,
+  The passions tossing, all the soul alarm'd,
+  They turn mere zealots flush'd with glorious rage,
+  Rise in their seats, and scarce forbear the stage,
+  Assistance to wrong'd innocence to bring,
+  Or turn the poniard on some tyrant king.
+  How can they cool to villains? how subside
+  To dregs of vice, from such a godlike pride?
+  To spoiling orphans how to day return,
+  Who wept last night to see Monimia mourn?
+  In this gay school of virtue, whom so fit
+  To govern, and control the world of wit,
+  As Talbot, Lansdowne's friend, has Britain known?
+  Him polish'd Italy has call'd her own;
+  He in the lap of elegance was bred,
+  And trac'd the muses to their fountain head:
+  But much we hope, he will enjoy at home
+  What's nearer ancient than the modern Rome.
+  Nor fear I mention of the court of France,
+  When I the British genius would advance;
+  There too has Shrewsbury improv'd his taste;
+  Yet still we dare invite him to our feast:
+  For Corneille's sake I shall my thoughts suppress
+  Of Oroonoko, and presume him less:
+  What though we wrong him? Isabella's woe
+  Waters those bays that shall for ever grow.
+    Our foes confess, nor we the praise refuse,
+  The drama glories in the British muse.
+  The French are delicate, and nicely lead
+  Of close intrigue the labyrinthian thread;
+  Our genius more affects the grand, than fine,
+  Our strength can make the great plain action shine:
+  They raise a great curiosity indeed,
+  From his dark maze to see the hero freed;
+  We rouse th' affections, and that hero show
+  Gasping beneath some formidable blow:
+  They sigh; we weep: the Gallic doubt and care
+  We heighten into terror and despair;
+  Strike home, the strongest passions boldly touch,
+  Nor fear our audience should be pleas'd too much.
+  What's great in nature we can greatly draw,
+  Nor thank for beauties the dramatic law.
+  The fate of Caesar is a tale too plain
+  The fickle Gallic taste to entertain;
+  Their art would have perplex'd, and interwove
+  The golden arras with gay flowers of love:
+  We know heaven made him a far greater man
+  Than any Caesar, in a human plan,
+  And such we draw him, nor are too refin'd,
+  To stand affected with what heaven design'd.
+  To claim attention, and the heart invade,
+  Shakespeare but wrote the play th' Almighty made.
+  Our neighbour's stage-art too bare-fac'd betrays,
+  'Tis great Corneille at every scene we praise;
+  On nature's surer aid Britannia calls,
+  None think of Shakespeare till the curtain falls;
+  Then with a sigh returns our audience home,
+  From Venice, Egypt, Persia, Greece, or Rome.
+    France yields not to the glory of our lines,
+  But manly conduct of our strong designs;
+  That oft they think more justly we must own,
+  Not ancient Greece a truer sense has shown:
+  Greece thought but justly, they think justly too;
+  We sometimes err by striving more to do.
+  So well are Racine's meanest persons taught,
+  But change a sentiment, you make a fault;
+  Nor dare we charge them with the want of flame:
+  When we boast more, we own ourselves to blame.
+    And yet in Shakespeare something still I find,
+  That makes me less esteem all human kind;
+  He made one nature, and another found,
+  Both in his page with master strokes abound:
+  His witches, fairies, and enchanted isle.
+  Bid us no longer at our nurses smile;
+  Of lost historians we almost complain,
+  Nor think it the creation of his brain.
+  Who lives, when his Othello's in a trance?
+  With his great Talbot(62) too he conquer'd France.
+    Long we may hope brave Talbot's blood will run
+  In great descendants, Shakespeare has but one;
+  And him, my lord, permit me not to name,
+  But in kind silence spare his rival's shame:--
+  Yet I in vain that author would suppress,
+  What can't be greater, cannot be made less:
+  Each reader will defeat my fruitless aim,
+  And to himself great Agamemnon name.
+    Should Shakespeare rise unbless'd with Talbot's smile,
+  E'en Shakespeare's self would curse this barren isle:
+  But if that reigning star propitious shine,
+  And kindly mix his gentle rays with thine;
+  E'en I, by far the meanest of your age,
+  Shall not repent my passion for the stage.
+    Thus did the will almighty disallow,
+  No human force could pluck the golden bough,
+  Which left the tree with ease at Jove's command,
+  And spar'd the labour of the weakest hand.
+    Auspicious fate! that gives me leave to write
+  To you, the muses' glory and delight;
+  Who know to read, nor false encomiums raise,
+  And mortify an author with your praise:
+  Praise wounds a noble mind, when 'tis not due,
+  But censure's self will please, my lord, from you;
+  Faults are our pride and gain, when you descend
+  To point them out, and teach us how to mend.
+  What though the great man set his coffers wide,
+  That cannot gratify the poet's pride;
+  Whose inspiration, if 'tis truly good,
+  Is best rewarded, when best understood.
+  The muses write for glory, not for gold,
+  'Tis far beneath their nature to be sold:
+  The greatest gain is scorn'd, but as it serves
+  To speak a sense of what the muse deserves;
+  The muse which from her Lansdowne fears no wrong,
+  Best judge, as well as subject, of her song.
+  Should this great theme allure me further still,
+  And I presume to use your patience ill,
+  The world would plead my cause, and none but you
+  Will take disgust at what I now pursue:
+  Since what is mean my muse can't raise, I'll choose
+  A theme that's able to exalt my muse.
+    For who, not void of thought, can Granville name,
+  Without a spark of his immortal flame?
+  Whether we seek the patriot, or the friend,
+  Let Bolingbroke, let Anna recommend;
+  Whether we choose to love or to admire,
+  You melt the tender, and th'ambitious fire.
+    Such native graces without thought abound,
+  And such familiar glories spread around,
+  As more incline the stander by to raise
+  His value for himself, than you to praise.
+  Thus you befriend the most heroic way,
+  Bless all, on none an obligation lay;
+  So turn'd by nature's hand for all that's well,
+  'Tis scarce a virtue when you most excel.
+    Tho' sweet your presence, graceful is your mien,
+  You to be happy want not to be seen;
+  Though priz'd in public, you can smile alone,
+  Nor court an approbation but your own:
+  In throngs, not conscious of those eyes that gaze
+  In wonder fix'd, though resolute to please;
+  You, were all blind, would still deserve applause;
+  The world's your glory's witness, not its cause;
+  That lies beyond the limits of the day,
+  Angels behold it, and their God obey.
+    You take delight in others' excellence;
+  A gift, which nature rarely does dispense:
+  Of all that breathe 'tis you, perhaps, alone
+  Would be well pleas'd to see yourself outdone.
+  You wish not those, who show your name respect,
+  So little worth, as might excuse neglect;
+  Nor are in pain lest merit you should know;
+  Nor shun the well deserver as a foe;
+  A troublesome acquaintance, that will claim
+  To be well us'd, or dye your cheek with shame.
+    You wish your country's good; that told so well
+  Your powers are known, th' event I need not tell.
+  When Nestor spoke, none ask'd if he prevail'd;
+  That god of sweet persuasion never fail'd:
+  And such great fame had Hector's valour wrought,
+  Who meant he conquer'd, only said he fought.
+    When you, my lord, to sylvan scenes retreat,
+  No crowds around for pleasure, or for state,
+  You are not cast upon a stranger land,
+  And wander pensive o'er the barren strand;
+  Nor are you by receiv'd example taught,
+  In toys to shun the discipline of thought;
+  But unconfin'd by bounds of time and place,
+  You choose companions from all human race;
+  Converse with those the deluge swept away,
+  Or those whose midnight is Britannia's day.
+    Books not so much inform, as give consent
+  To those ideas your own thoughts present;
+  Your only gain from turning volumes o'er,
+  Is finding cause to like yourself the more:
+  In Grecian sages you are only taught
+  With more respect to value your own thought:
+  Great Tully grew immortal, while he drew
+  Those precepts we behold alive in you:
+  Your life is so adjusted to their schools,
+  It makes that history they meant for rules.
+  What joy, what pleasing transport, must arise
+  Within your breast, and lift you to the skies,
+  When, in each learned page that you unfold,
+  You find some part of your own conduct told!
+    So pleas'd, and so surpris'd, AEneas stood,
+  And such triumphant raptures fir'd his blood,
+  When far from Trojan shores the hero spied
+  His story shining forth in all its pride;
+  Admir'd himself, and saw his actions stand
+  The praise and wonder of a foreign land.
+    He knows not half his being, who's confin'd
+  In converse, and reflection on mankind:
+  Your soul, which understands her charter well,
+  Disdains imprison'd by those skies to dwell;
+  Ranges eternity without the leave
+  Of death, nor waits the passage of the grave.
+    When pains eternal, and eternal bliss,
+  When these high cares your weary thoughts dismiss,
+  In heavenly numbers you your soul unbend,
+  And for your ease to deathless fame descend.
+  Ye kings! would ye true greatness understand,
+  Read Seneca grown rich in Granville's hand.(63)
+    Behold the glories of your life complete!
+  Still at a flow, and permanently great;
+  New moments shed new pleasures as they fly,
+  And yet your greatest is, that you must die.
+    Thus Anna saw, and rais'd you to the seat
+  Of honour, and confess'd her servant great;
+  Confess'd, not made him such; for faithful fame
+  Her trumpet swell'd long since with Granville's name;
+  Though you in modesty the title wear,
+  Your name shall be the title of your heir;
+  Farther than ermine, make his glory known,
+  And cast in shades the favour of a throne.
+  From thrones the beam of high distinction springs;
+  The soul's endowments from the King of kings,
+  Lo! one great day calls forth ten mighty peers!
+  Produce ten Granvilles in five thousand years;
+  Anna, be thou content to fix the fate
+  Of various kingdoms, and control the great;
+  But O! to bid thy Granville brighter shine!
+  To him that great prerogative resign,
+  Who the sun's height can raise at pleasure higher,
+  His lamp illumine, set his flames on fire.
+    Yet still one bliss, one glory, I forbear,
+  A darling friend whom near your heart you wear;
+  That lovely youth, my lord, whom you must blame,
+  That I grow thus familiar with your name.
+    He's friendly, open, in his conduct nice,
+  Nor serve these virtues to atone for vice:
+  Vice has he none, or such as none wish less,
+  But friends indeed, good-nature in excess.
+  You cannot boast the merit of a choice,
+  In making him your own, 'twas nature's voice,
+  Which call'd too loud by man to be withstood,
+  Pleading a tie far nearer than of blood;
+  Similitude of manners, such a mind
+  As makes you less the wonder of mankind.
+  Such ease his common converse recommends,
+  As he ne'er felt a passion, but his friend's;
+  Yet fix'd his principles, beyond the force
+  Of all beneath the sun, to bend his course.(64)
+  Thus the tall cedar, beautiful and fair,
+  Flatters the motions of the wanton air;
+  Salutes each passing breeze with head reclin'd:
+  The pliant branches dance in every wind:
+  But fix'd the stem her upright state maintains,
+  And all the fury of the north disdains.
+    How are you bless'd in such a matchless friend!
+  Alas! with me the joys of friendship end;
+  O Harrison! I must, I will complain;
+  Tears soothe the soul's distress, tho' shed in vain;
+  Didst thou return, and bless thy native shore
+  With welcome peace, and is my friend no more?--
+  Thy task was early done, and I must own
+  Death kind to thee, but ah! to thee alone.
+  But 'tis in me a vanity to mourn,
+  The sorrows of the great thy tomb adorn;
+  Strafford and Bolingbroke the loss perceive,
+  They grieve, and make thee envied in thy grave.
+    With aching heart, and a foreboding mind,
+  I night to day in painful journey join'd,
+  When first inform'd of his approaching fate;
+  But reach'd the partner of my soul too late:
+  'Twas past, his cheek was cold; that tuneful tongue,
+  Which Isis charm'd with its melodious song,
+  Now languish'd, wanted strength to speak his pain,
+  Scarce rais'd a feeble groan, and sunk again:
+  Each art of life, in which he bore a part,
+  Shot like an arrow through my bleeding heart.
+  To what serv'd all his promis'd wealth and power,
+  But more to load that most unhappy hour?
+  Yet still prevail'd the greatness of his mind;
+  That, not in health, or life itself confin'd,
+  Felt through his mortal pangs Britannia's peace,
+  Mounted to joy, and smil'd in death's embrace.
+    His spirit now just ready to resign,
+  No longer now his own, no longer mine,
+  He grasps my hand, his swimming eyeballs roll,
+  My hand he grasps, and enters in my soul:
+  Then with a groan--Support me, O! beware
+  Of holding worth, however great, too dear!(65)
+    Pardon, my lord, the privilege of grief,
+  That in untimely freedom seeks relief;
+  To better fate your love I recommend,
+  O! may you never lose so dear a friend!
+  May nothing interrupt your happy hours;
+  Enjoy the blessings peace on Europe showers:
+  Nor yet disdain those blessings to adorn;
+  To make the muse immortal, you was born.
+  Sing; and in latest time, when story's dark,
+  This period your surviving fame shall mark;
+  Save from the gulf of years this glorious age,
+  And thus illustrate their historian's page.
+    The crown of Spain in doubtful balance hung,
+  And Anna Britain sway'd, when Granville sung:
+  That noted year Europa sheath'd her sword,
+  When this great man was first saluted lord.

+
+
+                         TWO EPISTLES TO MR. POPE
+
+
+                 Concerning the Authors of the Age. 1730.
+
+
+
+
+                                Epistle I.
+
+
+  Whilst you at Twickenham plan the future wood,
+  Or turn the volumes of the wise and good,
+  Our senate meets; at parties, parties bawl,
+  And pamphlets stun the streets, and load the stall;
+  So rushing tides bring things obscene to light,
+  Foul wrecks emerge, and dead dogs swim in sight;
+  The civil torrent foams, the tumult reigns,
+  And Codrus' prose works up, and Lico's strains.
+  Lo! what from cellars rise, what rush from high,
+  Where speculation roosted near the sky;
+  Letters, essays, sock, buskin, satire, song,
+  And all the garret thunders on the throng!
+    O Pope! I burst; nor can, nor will, refrain;
+  I'll write; let others, in their turn, complain:
+  Truce, truce, ye Vandals! my tormented ear
+  Less dreads a pillory than a pamphleteer;
+  I've heard myself to death; and, plagu'd each hour,
+  Shan't I return the vengeance in my power?
+  For who can write the true absurd like me?----
+  Thy pardon, Codrus! who, I mean, but thee?
+    Pope! if like mine, or Codrus', were thy style,
+  The blood of vipers had not stain'd thy file;
+  Merit less solid, less despite had bred;
+  They had not bit, and then they had not bled.
+  Fame is a public mistress, none enjoys,
+  But, more or less, his rival's peace destroys;
+  With fame, in just proportion, envy grows;
+  The man that makes a character, makes foes:
+  Slight, peevish insects round a genius rise,
+  As a bright day awakes the world of flies;
+  With hearty malice, but with feeble wing,
+  (To show they live) they flutter, and they sting:
+  But as by depredations wasps proclaim
+  The fairest fruit, so these the fairest fame.
+    Shall we not censure all the motley train,
+  Whether with ale irriguous, or champaign?
+  Whether they tread the vale of prose, or climb,
+  And whet their appetites on cliffs of rhyme;
+  The college sloven, or embroider'd spark;
+  The purple prelate, or the parish clerk;
+  The quiet quidnunc, or demanding prig;
+  The plaintiff tory, or defendant whig;
+  Rich, poor, male, female, young, old, gay, or sad;
+  Whether extremely witty, or quite mad;
+  Profoundly dull, or shallowly polite;
+  Men that read well, or men that only write;
+  Whether peers, porters, tailors, tune the reeds,
+  And measuring words to measuring shapes succeeds;
+  For bankrupts write, when ruin'd shops are shut,
+  As maggots crawl from out a perish'd nut.
+  His hammer this, and that his trowel quits,
+  And, wanting sense for tradesmen, serve for wits.
+  By thriving men subsists each other trade;
+  Of every broken craft a writer's made:
+  Thus his material, paper, takes its birth
+  From tatter'd rags of all the stuff on earth.
+    Hail, fruitful isle! to thee alone belong
+  Millions of wits, and brokers in old song:
+  Thee well a land of liberty we name,
+  Where all are free to scandal and to shame;
+  Thy sons, by print, may set their hearts at ease,
+  And be mankind's contempt, whene'er they please;
+  Like trodden filth, their vile and abject sense
+  Is unperceiv'd, but when it gives offence:
+  Their heavy prose our injur'd reason tires;
+  Their verse immoral kindles loose desires:
+  Our age they puzzle, and corrupt our prime,
+  Our sport and pity, punishment and crime.
+    What glorious motives urge our authors on,
+  Thus to undo, and thus to be undone?
+  One loses his estate, and down he sits,
+  To show (in vain!) he still retains his wits:
+  Another marries, and his dear proves keen;
+  He writes as an hypnotic for the spleen:
+  Some write, confin'd by physic; some, by debt;
+  Some, for 'tis Sunday; some, because 'tis wet;
+  Through private pique some do the public right,
+  And love their king and country out of spite:
+  Another writes because his father writ,
+  And proves himself a bastard by his wit.
+    Has Lico learning, humour, thought profound?
+  Neither: why write then? He wants twenty pound:
+  His belly, not his brains, this impulse give;
+  He'll grow immortal; for he cannot live:
+  He rubs his awful front, and takes his ream,
+  With no provision made, but of his theme;
+  Perhaps a title has his fancy smit,
+  Or a quaint motto, which he thinks has wit:
+  He writes, in inspiration puts his trust,
+  Tho' wrong his thoughts, the gods will make them just;
+  Genius directly from the gods descends,
+  And who by labour would distrust his friends?
+  Thus having reason'd with consummate skill,
+  In immortality he dips his quill:
+  And, since blank paper is denied the press,
+  He mingles the whole alphabet by guess:
+  In various sets, which various words compose,
+  Of which, he hopes, mankind the meaning knows.
+    So sounds spontaneous from the sibyl broke,
+  Dark to herself the wonders which she spoke;
+  The priests found out the meaning, if they could;
+  And nations star'd at what none understood.
+    Clodio dress'd, danc'd, drank, visited, (the whole
+  And great concern of an immortal soul!)
+  Oft have I said, "Awake! exist! and strive
+  For birth! nor think to loiter is to live!"
+  As oft I overheard the demon say,
+  Who daily met the loit'rer in his way,
+  "I'll meet thee, youth, at White's:" the youth replies,
+  "I'll meet thee there," and falls his sacrifice;
+  His fortune squander'd, leaves his virtue bare
+  To ev'ry bribe, and blind to ev'ry snare:
+  Clodio for bread his indolence must quit,
+  Or turn a soldier, or commence a wit.
+  Such heroes have we! all, but life, they stake;
+  How must Spain tremble, and the German shake!
+  Such writers have we! all, but sense, they print;
+  Ev'n George's praise is dated from the mint.
+  In arms contemptible, in arts profane,
+  Such swords, such pens, disgrace a monarch's reign.
+  Reform your lives before you thus aspire,
+  And steal (for you can steal) celestial fire.
+    O the just contrast! O the beauteous strife!
+  'Twixt their cool writings, and pindaric life:
+  They write with phlegm, but then they live with fire;
+  They cheat the lender, and their works the buyer.
+    I reverence misfortune, not deride;
+  I pity poverty, but laugh at pride:
+  For who so sad, but must some mirth confess
+  At gay Castruchio's miscellaneous dress?
+  Though there's but one of the dull works he wrote,
+  There's ten editions of his old lac'd coat.
+    These, nature's commoners, who want a home,
+  Claim the wide world for their majestic dome;
+  They make a private study of the street;
+  And, looking full on every man they meet,
+  Run souse against his chaps; who stands amaz'd
+  To find they did not see, but only gaz'd.
+  How must these bards be rapt into the skies!
+  you need not read, you feel their ecstasies.
+    Will they persist? 'Tis Madness; Lintot, run,
+  See them confin'd--"O that's already done."
+  Most, as by leases, by the works they print,
+  Have took, for life, possession of the mint.
+  If you mistake, and pity these poor men,
+  est Ulubris, they cry, and write again.
+    Such wits their nuisance manfully expose,
+  And then pronounce just judges learning's foes;
+  O frail conclusion; the reverse is true;
+  If foes to learning, they'd be friends to you:
+  Treat them, ye judges! with an honest scorn,
+  And weed the cockle from the generous corn:
+  There's true good nature in your disrepect;
+  In justice to the good, the bad neglect:
+  For immortality, if hardships plead,
+  It is not theirs who write, but ours who read.
+    But, O! what wisdom can convince a fool,
+  But that 'tis dulness to conceive him dull?
+  'Tis sad experience takes the censor's part,
+  Conviction, not from reason, but from smart.
+    a virgin author, recent from the press,
+  The sheets yet wet, applauds his great success;
+  Surveys them, reads them, takes their charms to bed,
+  Those in his hand, and glory in his head;
+  'Tis joy too great; a fever of delight!
+  His heart beats thick, nor close his eyes all night:
+  But rising the next morn to clasp his fame,
+  He finds that without sleeping he could dream:
+  So sparks, they say, take goddesses to bed,
+  And find next day the devil in their stead.
+    In vain advertisements the town o'erspread;
+  They're epitaphs, and the work is dead.
+  Who press for fame, but small recruits will raise;
+  'Tis volunteers alone can give the bays.
+    A famous author visits a great man,
+  Of his immortal work displays the plan,
+  And says, "Sir, I'm your friend; all fears dismiss;
+  Your glory, and my own, shall live by this;
+  Your power is fixt, your fame thro' time convey'd,
+  And Britain Europe's queen--if I am paid."
+  A statesman has his answer in a trice:
+  "Sir, such a genius is beyond all price;
+  What man can pay for this?"--Away he turns;
+  His work is folded, and his bosom burns:
+  His patron he will patronize no more;
+  But rushes like a tempest out of door.
+  Lost is the patriot, and extinct his name!
+  Out comes the piece, another, and the same;
+  For A, his magic pen evokes an O,
+  And turns the tide of Europe on the foe:
+  He rams his quill with scandal, and with scoff;
+  But 'tis so very foul, it wont go off:
+  Dreadful his thunders, while unprinted, roar;
+  But when once publish'd, they are heard no more.
+  Thus distant bugbears fright, but, nearer draw,
+  The block's a block, and turns to mirth your awe.
+    Can those oblige, whose heads and hearts are such?
+  No; every party's tainted by their touch.
+  Infected persons fly each public place;
+  And none, or enemies alone, embrace:
+  To the foul fiend their every passion's sold:
+  They love, and hate, extempore, for gold:
+  What image of their fury can we form?
+  Dulness and rage, a puddle in a storm.
+  Rest they in peace? If you are pleas'd to buy,
+  To swell your sails, like Lapland winds, they fly:
+  Write they with rage? The tempest quickly flags;
+  A state Ulysses tames 'em with his bags;
+  Let him be what he will, Turk, Pagan, Jew:
+  For Christian ministers of state are few.
+    Behind the curtain lurks the fountain head,
+  That pours his politics through pipes of lead,
+  Which far and near ejaculate, and spout
+  O'er tea and coffee, poison to the rout:
+  But when they have bespatter'd all they may,
+  The statesman throws his filthy squirts away!
+    With golden forceps, these, another takes,
+  And state elixirs of the vipers makes.
+    The richest statesman wants wherewith to pay
+  A servile sycophant, if well they weigh
+  How much it costs the wretch to be so base;
+  Nor can the greatest powers enough disgrace,
+  Enough chastise, such prostitute applause,
+  If well they weigh how much it stains their cause.
+    But are our writers ever in the wrong?
+  Does virtue ne'er seduce the venal tongue?
+  Yes; if well brib'd, for virtue's self they fight;
+  Still in the wrong, tho' champions for the right:
+  Whoe'er their crimes for interest only quit,
+  Sin on in virtue, and good deeds commit.
+    Nought but inconstancy Britannia meets,
+  And broken faith in their abandon'd sheets;
+  From the same hand how various is the page!
+  What civil war their brother pamphlets wage!
+  Tracts battle tracts, self-contradictions glare;
+  Say, is this lunacy?--I wish it were.
+  If such our writers, startled at the sight,
+  Felons may bless their stars they cannot write!
+    How justly Proteus' transmigrations fit
+  The monstrous changes of a modern wit!
+  Now, such a gentle stream of eloquence
+  As seldom rises to the verge of sense;
+  Now, by mad rage, transform'd into a flame,
+  Which yet fit engines, well applied, can tame;
+  Now, on immodest trash, the swine obscene,
+  Invites the town to sup at Drury Lane;
+  A dreadful lion, now he roars at power,
+  Which sends him to his brothers at the Tower;
+  He's now a serpent, and his double tongue
+  Salutes, nay licks, the feet of those he stung;
+  What knot can bind him, his evasion such?
+  One knot he well deserves, which might do much.
+    The flood, flame, swine, the lion, and the snake,
+  Those fivefold monsters, modern authors make:
+  The snake reigns most; snakes, Pliny says, are bred
+  When the brain's perish'd in a human head.
+  Ye grov'ling, trodden, whipt, stript, turncoat things,
+  Made up of venom, volumes, stains, and stings!
+  Thrown from the tree of knowledge, like you, curst
+  To scribble in the dust, was snake the first.
+    What if the figure should in fact prove true!
+  It did in Elkenah, why not in you?
+  Poor Elkenah, all other changes past,
+  For bread in Smithfield dragons hist at last,
+  Spit streams of fire to make the butchers gape,
+  And found his manners suited to his shape:
+  Such is the fate of talents misapplied;
+  So liv'd your prototype; and so he died.
+    Th' abandon'd manners of our writing train
+  May tempt mankind to think religion vain;
+  But in their fate, their habit, and their mien,
+  That gods there are is eminently seen:
+  Heaven stands absolv'd by vengeance on their pen,
+  And marks the murderers of fame from men:
+  Through meagre jaws they draw their venal breath,
+  As ghastly as their brothers in Macbeth:
+  Their feet through faithless leather meet the dirt,
+  And oftener chang'd their principles than shirt.
+  The transient vestments of these frugal men,
+  Hastens to paper for our mirth again:
+  Too soon (O merry melancholy fate!)
+  They beg in rhyme, and warble through a grate:
+  The man lampoon'd forgets it at the sight;
+  The friend through pity gives, the foe through spite;
+  And though full conscious of his injur'd purse,
+  Lintot relents, nor Curll can wish them worse.
+  So fare the men, who writers dare commence
+  Without their patent, probity, and sense.
+    From these, their politics our quidnuncs seek,
+  And Saturday's the learning of the week:
+  These labouring wits, like paviours, mend our ways,
+  With heavy, huge, repeated, flat essays;
+  Ram their coarse nonsense down, though ne'er so dull;
+  And hem at every thump upon your skull:
+  These staunch bred writing hounds begin the cry,
+  And honest folly echoes to the lie.
+  O how I laugh, when I a blockhead see,
+  Thanking a villain for his probity;
+  Who stretches out a most respectful ear,
+  With snares for woodcocks in his holy leer:
+  It tickles thro' my soul to hear the cock's
+  Sincere encomium on his friend the fox,
+  Sole patron of his liberties and rights!
+  While graceless Reynard listens--till he bites.
+    As when the trumpet sounds, th' o'erloaded state
+  Discharges all her poor and profligate;
+  Crimes of all kinds dishonour'd weapons wield,
+  And prisons pour their filth into the field;
+  Thus nature's refuse, and the dregs of men,
+  Compose the black militia of the pen.
+
+
+
+
+                               Epistle II.
+
+
+                               From Oxford.
+
+
+  All write at London; shall the rage abate
+  Here, where it most should shine, the muses' seat?
+  Where, mortal or immortal, as they please,
+  The learn'd may choose eternity, or ease?
+  Has not a (66)royal patron wisely strove
+  To woo the muse in her Athenian grove?
+  Added new strings to her harmonious shell,
+  And given new tongues to those who spoke so well?
+  Let these instruct, with truth's illustrious ray,
+  Awake the world, and scare our owls away.
+    Meanwhile, O friend! indulge me, if I give
+  Some needful precepts how to write, and live!
+  Serious should be an author's final views;
+  Who write for pure amusement, ne'er amuse.
+    An author! 'tis a venerable name!
+  How few deserve it, and what numbers claim!
+  Unblest with sense above their peers refin'd,
+  Who shall stand up, dictators to mankind?
+  Nay, who dare shine, if not in virtue's cause?
+  That sole proprietor of just applause.
+    Ye restless men, who pant for letter'd praise,
+  With whom would you consult to gain the bays?--
+  With those great authors whose fam'd works you read?
+  'Tis well: go, then, consult the laurell'd shade.
+  What answer will the laurell'd shade return?
+  Hear it, and tremble! he commands you burn
+  The noblest works his envied genius writ,
+  That boast of nought more excellent than wit.
+  If this be true, as 'tis a truth most dread,
+  Woe to the page which has not that to plead!
+  Fontaine and Chaucer, dying, wish'd unwrote,
+  The sprightliest efforts of their wanton thought:
+  Sidney and Waller, brightest sons of fame,
+  Condemn the charm of ages to the flame:
+  And in one point is all true wisdom cast,
+  To think that early we must think at last.
+    Immortal wits, ev'n dead, break nature's laws,
+  Injurious still to virtue's sacred cause;
+  And their guilt growing, as their bodies rot,
+  (Revers'd ambition!) pant to be forgot.
+    Thus ends your courted fame: does lucre then,
+  The sacred thirst of gold, betray your pen?
+  In prose 'tis blameable, in verse 'tis worse,
+  Provokes the muse, extorts Apollo's curse:
+  His sacred influence never should be sold:
+  'Tis arrant simony to sing for gold:
+  'Tis immortality should fire your mind;
+  Scorn a less paymaster than all mankind.
+    If bribes you seek, know this, ye writing tribe!
+  Who writes for virtue has the largest bribe:
+  All's on the party of the virtuous man;
+  The good will surely serve him, if they can;
+  The bad, when interest, or ambition guide,
+  And 'tis at once their interest and their pride:
+  But should both fail to take him to their care,
+  He boasts a greater friend, and both may spare.
+    Letters to man uncommon light dispense;
+  And what is virtue, but superior sense?
+  In parts and learning you who place your pride,
+  Your faults are crimes, your crimes are double dyed.
+  What is a scandal of the first renown,
+  But letter'd knaves, and atheists in a gown?
+    'Tis harder far to please than give offence;
+  The least misconduct damns the brightest sense;
+  Each shallow pate, that cannot read your name,
+  Can read your life, and will be proud to blame.
+  Flagitious manners make impressions deep
+  On those, that o'er a page of Milton sleep:
+  Nor in their dulness think to save your shame,
+  True, these are fools; but wise men say the same.
+    Wits are a despicable race of men,
+  If they confine their talents to the pen;
+  When the man shocks us, while the writer shines,
+  Our scorn in life, our envy in his lines.
+  Yet, proud of parts, with prudence some dispense,
+  And play the fool, because they're men of sense.
+  What instances bleed recent in each thought,
+  Of men to ruin by their genius brought!
+  Against their wills what numbers ruin shun,
+  Purely through want of wit to be undone!
+  Nature has shown, by making it so rare,
+  That wit's a jewel which we need not wear.
+  Of plain sound sense life's current coin is made;
+  With that we drive the most substantial trade.
+    Prudence protects and guides us; wit betrays;
+  A splendid source of ill ten thousand ways;
+  A certain snare to miseries immense;
+  A gay prerogative from common sense;
+  Unless strong judgment that wild thing can tame,
+  And break to paths of virtue and of fame.
+    But grant your judgment equal to the best,
+  Sense fills your head, and genius fires your breast;
+  Yet still forbear: your wit (consider well)
+  'Tis great to show, but greater to conceal;
+  As it is great to seize the golden prize
+  Of place or power; but greater to despise.
+    If still you languish for an author's name,
+  Think private merit less than public fame,
+  And fancy not to write is not to live;
+  Deserve, and take, the great prerogative.
+  But ponder what it is; how dear 'twill cost,
+  To write one page which you may justly boast.
+    Sense may be good, yet not deserve the press;
+  Who write, an awful character profess;
+  The world as pupil of their wisdom claim,
+  And for their stipend an immortal fame:
+  Nothing but what is solid or refin'd,
+  Should dare ask public audience of mankind.
+    Severely weigh your learning, and your wit:
+  Keep down your pride by what is nobly writ:
+  No writer, fam'd in your own way, pass o'er;
+  Much trust example, but reflection more:
+  More had the ancients writ, they more had taught;
+  Which shows some work is left for modern thought.
+    This weigh'd, perfection know; and known, adore;
+  Toil, burn for that; but do not aim at more;
+  Above, beneath it, the just limits fix;
+  And zealously prefer four lines to six.
+    Write, and re-write, blot out, and write again,
+  And for its swiftness ne'er applaud your pen.
+  Leave to the jockeys that Newmarket praise,
+  Slow runs the Pegasus that wins the bays.
+  Much time for immortality to pay,
+  Is just and wise; for less is thrown away.
+  Time only can mature the labouring brain;
+  Time is the father, and the midwife pain:
+  The same good sense that makes a man excel,
+  Still makes him doubt he ne'er has written well.
+  Downright impossibilities they seek;
+  What man can be immortal in a week?
+    Excuse no fault; though beautiful, 'twill harm;
+  One fault shocks more than twenty beauties charm.
+  Our age demands correctness; Addison
+  And you this commendable hurt have done.
+  Now writers find, as once Achilles found,
+  The whole is mortal, if a part's unsound.
+    He that strikes out, and strikes not out the best,
+  Pours lustre in, and dignifies the rest:
+  Give e'er so little, if what's right be there,
+  We praise for what you burn, and what you spare:
+  The part you burn, smells sweet before the shrine,
+  And is as incense to the part divine.
+    Nor frequent write, though you can do it well;
+  Men may too oft, though not too much, excel.
+  A few good works gain fame; more sink their price;
+  Mankind are fickle, and hate paying twice:
+  They granted you writ well, what can they more,
+  Unless you let them praise for giving o'er?
+    Do boldly what you do, and let your page
+  Smile, if it smiles, and if it rages, rage.
+  So faintly Lucius censures and commends,
+  That Lucius has no foes, except his friends.
+    Let satire less engage you than applause;
+  It shows a gen'rous mind to wink at flaws:
+  Is genius yours? be yours a glorious end,
+  Be your king's, country's, truth's, religion's friend;
+  The public glory by your own beget;
+  Run nations, run posterity, in debt.
+  And since the fam'd alone make others live,
+  First have that glory you presume to give.
+    If satire charms, strike faults, but spare the man
+  'Tis dull to be as witty as you can.
+  Satire recoils whenever charg'd too high;
+  Round your own fame the fatal splinters fly.
+  As the soft plume gives swiftness to the dart,
+  Good breeding sends the satire to the heart.
+    Painters and surgeons may the structure scan;
+  Genius and morals be with you the man:
+  Defaults in those alone should give offence!
+  Who strikes the person, pleads his innocence.
+  My narrow minded satire can't extend
+  To Codrus' form; I'm not so much his friend:
+  Himself should publish that (the world agree)
+  Before his works, or in the pillory.
+  Let him be black, fair, tall, short, thin, or fat,
+  Dirty or clean, I find no theme in that.
+  Is that call'd humour? It has this pretence,
+  'Tis neither virtue, breeding, wit, or sense.
+  Unless you boast the genius of a Swift,
+  Beware of humour, the dull rogue's last shift.
+    Can others write like you? Your task give o'er,
+  'Tis printing what was publish'd long before.
+  If nought peculiar through your labours run,
+  They're duplicates, and twenty are but one.
+  Think frequently, think close, read nature, turn
+  Men's manners o'er, and half your volumes burn;
+  To nurse with quick reflection be your strife,
+  Thoughts born from present objects, warm from life:
+  When most unsought, such inspirations rise,
+  Slighted by fools, and cherish'd by the wise:
+  Expect peculiar fame from these alone;
+  These make an author, these are all your own.
+    Life, like their Bibles, coolly men turn o'er;
+  Hence unexperienc'd children of threescore.
+  True, all men think of course, as all men dream;
+  And if they slightly think, 'tis much the same.
+    Letters admit not of a half renown;
+  They give you nothing, or they give a crown.
+  No work e'er gain'd true fame, or ever can,
+  But what did honour to the name of man.
+    Weighty the subject, cogent the discourse,
+  Clear be the style, the very sound of force;
+  Easy the conduct, simple the design,
+  Striking the moral, and the soul divine:
+  Let nature art, and judgment wit, exceed;
+  O'er learning reason reign; o'er that, your creed:
+  Thus virtue's seeds, at once, and laurel's, grow;
+  Do thus, and rise a Pope, or a Despreau:
+  And when your genius exquisitely shines,
+  Live up to the full lustre of your lines:
+  Parts but expose those men who virtue quit;
+  A fallen angel is a fallen wit;
+  And they plead Lucifer's detested cause,
+  Who for bare talents challenge our applause.
+  Would you restore just honours to the pen?
+  From able writers rise to worthy men.
+    "Who's this with nonsense, nonsense would restrain?
+  Who's this (they cry) so vainly schools the vain?
+  Who damns our trash, with so much trash replete?
+  As, three ells round, huge Cheyne rails at meat?"
+    Shall I with Bavius then my voice exalt,
+  And challenge all mankind to find one fault?
+  With huge examens overwhelm my page,
+  And darken reason with dogmatic rage?
+  As if, one tedious volume writ in rhyme,
+  In prose a duller could excuse the crime:
+  Sure, next to writing, the most idle thing
+  Is gravely to harangue on what we sing.
+    At that tribunal stands the writing tribe,
+  Which nothing can intimidate or bribe:
+  Time is the judge; time has nor friend nor foe;
+  False fame must wither, and the true will grow.
+  Arm'd with this truth, all critics I defy;
+  For if I fall, by my own pen I die;
+  While snarlers strive with proud but fruitless pain
+  To wound immortals, or to slay the slain.
+    Sore prest with danger, and in awful dread
+  Of twenty pamphlets levell'd at my head,
+  Thus have I forg'd a buckler in my brain,
+  Of recent form, to serve me this campaign:
+  And safely hope to quit the dreadful field
+  Delug'd with ink, and sleep behind my shield;
+  Unless dire Codrus rouses to the fray
+  In all his might, and damns me--for a day.
+    As turns a flock of geese, and, on the green,
+  Poke out their foolish necks in awkward spleen,
+  (Ridiculous in rage!) to hiss, not bite,
+  So war their quills, when sons of dulness write.

+
+
+          AN EPISTLE TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE SIR ROBERT WALPOLE.
+
+
+               By Mr. Doddington, Afterwards Lord Melcombe.
+
+
+      --Quae censet amiculus, ut si
+      Caecus iter monstrare velit
+
+                                                                 --HOR.
+
+
+  Though strength of genius, by experience taught,
+  Gives thee to sound the depths of human thought,
+  To trace the various workings of the mind,
+  And rule the secret springs, that rule mankind;
+  (Rare gift!) yet, Walpole, wilt thou condescend
+  To listen, if thy unexperienc'd friend
+  Can aught of use impart, though void of skill,
+  And win attention by sincere good-will;
+  For friendship, sometimes, want of parts supplies,
+  The heart may furnish what the head denies.
+    As when the rapid Rhone, o'er swelling tides,
+  To grace old ocean's court, in triumph rides,
+  Tho' rich his source, he drains a thousand springs,
+  Nor scorns the tribute each small rivulet brings.
+    So thou shalt, hence, absorb each feeble ray,
+  Each dawn of meaning, in thy brighter day;
+  Shalt like, or, where thou canst not like, excuse,
+  Since no mean interest shall profane the muse,
+  No malice, wrapt in truth's disguise, offend,
+  Nor flattery taint the freedom of the friend.
+  When first a generous mind surveys the great,
+  And views the crowds that on their fortune wait;
+  Pleas'd with the show (though little understood)
+  He only seeks the power, to do the good;
+  Thinks, till he tries, 'tis godlike to dispose,
+  And gratitude still springs, where bounty sows;
+  That every grant sincere affection wins,
+  And where our wants have end, our love begins:
+  But those who long the paths of state have trod,
+  Learn from the clamours of the murmuring crowd,
+  Which cramm'd, yet craving still, their gates besiege,
+  'Tis easier far to give, than to oblige.
+    This of thy conduct seems the nicest part,
+  The chief perfection of the statesman's art,
+  To give to fair assent a fairer face,
+  Or soften a refusal into grace:
+  But few there are that can be truly kind,
+  Or know to fix their favours on the mind;
+  Hence, some, whene'er they would oblige, offend,
+  And, while they make the fortune, lose the friend;
+  Still give, unthank'd; still squander, not bestow;
+  For great men want not, what to give, but how.
+    The race of men that follow courts, 'tis true,
+  Think all they get, and more than all, their due;
+  Still ask, but ne'er consult their own deserts,
+  And measure by their interest, not their parts:
+  From this mistake so many men we see
+  But ill become the thing they wish'd to be;
+  Hence discontent, and fresh demands arise,
+  More power, more favour in the great man's eyes;
+  All feel a want, though none the cause suspects,
+  But hate their patron, for their own defects;
+  Such none can please, but who reforms their hearts,
+  And, when he gives them places, gives them parts.
+    As these o'erprize their worth, so sure the great
+  May sell their favour at too dear a rate;
+  When merit pines, while clamour is preferr'd,
+  And long attachment waits among the herd;
+  When no distinction, where distinction 's due,
+  Marks from the many the superior few;
+  When strong cabal constrains them to be just,
+  And makes them give at last--because they must;
+  What hopes that men of real worth should prize,
+  What neither friendship gives, nor merit buys?
+    The man who justly o'er the whole presides,
+  His well-weigh'd choice with wise affection guides;
+  Knows when to stop with grace, and when advance,
+  Nor gives through importunity or chance;
+  But thinks how little gratitude is ow'd,
+  When favours are extorted, not bestow'd.
+    When, safe on shore ourselves, we see the crowd
+  Surround the great, importunate, and loud;
+  Through such a tumult, 'tis no easy task
+  To drive the man of real worth to ask:
+  Surrounded thus, and giddy with the show,
+  'Tis hard for great men rightly to bestow;
+  From hence so few are skill'd, in either case,
+  To ask with dignity, or give with grace.
+  Sometimes the great, seduc'd by love of parts,
+  Consult our genius, and neglect our hearts;
+  Pleas'd with the glittering sparks that genius flings,
+  They lift us, towering on their eagle's wings,
+  Mark out the flights by which themselves begun,
+  And teach our dazzled eyes to bear the sun;
+  Till we forget the hand that made us great,
+  And grow to envy, not to emulate:
+  To emulate, a generous warmth implies,
+  To reach the virtues, that make great men rise;
+  But envy wears a mean malignant face,
+  And aims not at their virtues--but their place.
+    Such to oblige, how vain is the pretence!
+  When every favour is a fresh offence,
+  By which superior power is still implied,
+  And, while it helps their fortune, hurts their pride.
+  Slight is the hate, neglect or hardships breed;
+  But those who hate from envy, hate indeed.
+    "Since so perplex'd the choice, whom shall we trust?"
+  Methinks I hear thee cry--The brave and just;
+  The man by no mean fears or hopes controll'd,
+  Who serves thee from affection, not for gold.
+    We love the honest, and esteem the brave,
+  Despise the coxcomb, but detest the knave;
+  No show of parts the truly wise seduce,
+  To think that knaves can be of real use.
+    The man, who contradicts the public voice,
+  And strives to dignify a worthless choice,
+  Attempts a task that on that choice reflects,
+  And lends us light to point out new defects.
+  One worthless man, that gains what he pretends,
+  Disgusts a thousand unpretending friends:
+  And since no art can make a counterpass,
+  Or add the weight of gold to mimic brass,
+  When princes to bad ore their image join,
+  They more debase the stamp, than raise the coin.
+    Be thine the care, true merit to reward
+  And gain the good--nor will that task be hard;
+  Souls form'd alike so quick by nature blend,
+  An honest man is more than half thy friend.
+    Him, no mean views, or haste to rise, shall sway,
+  Thy choice to sully, or thy trust betray:
+  Ambition, here, shall at due distance stand
+  Nor is wit dangerous in an honest hand:
+  Besides, if failings at the bottom lie,
+  We view those failings with a lover's eye;
+  Though small his genius, let him do his best,
+  Our wishes and belief supply the rest.
+    Let others barter servile faith for gold,
+  His friendship is not to be bought or sold:
+  Fierce opposition he, unmov'd, shall face,
+  Modest in favour, daring in disgrace,
+  To share thy adverse fate alone, pretend;
+  In power, a servant; out of power, a friend.
+  Here pour thy favours in an ample flood,
+  Indulge thy boundless thirst of doing good:
+  Nor think that good to him alone confin'd;
+  Such to oblige, is to oblige mankind.
+  If thus thy mighty master's steps thou trace,
+  The brave to cherish, and the good to grace;
+  Long shalt thou stand from rage and faction free,
+  And teach us long to love the king, through thee:
+  Or fall a victim dangerous to the foe,
+  And make him tremble when he strikes the blow;
+  While honour, gratitude, affection join
+  To deck thy close, and brighten thy decline;
+  (Illustrious doom!) the great, when this displac'd,
+  With friendship guarded, and with virtue grac'd,
+  In awful ruin, like Rome's senate, fall,
+  The prey and worship of the wondering Gaul.
+    No doubt, to genius some reward is due,
+  (Excluding that, were satirizing you;)
+  But yet, believe thy undesigning friend,
+  When truth and genius for thy choice contend,
+  Tho' both have weight when in the balance cast,
+  Let probity be first, and parts the last.
+    On these foundations if thou dar'st be great,
+  And check the growth of folly and deceit;
+  When party rage shall droop thro' length of days,
+  And calumny be ripen'd into praise,
+  Then future times shall to thy worth allow
+  That fame, which envy would call flattery now.
+  Thus far my zeal, though for the task unfit,
+  Has pointed out the rocks where others split;
+  By that inspir'd, though stranger to the Nine,
+  And negligent of any fame--but thine,
+  I take the friendly, but superfluous part;
+  You act from nature what I teach from art.

+
+
+  From man's too curious and impatient sight,
+  The future, Heaven involves in thickest night.
+  Credit gray hairs: though freedom much we boast,
+  Some least perform, what they determine most.
+  What sudden changes our resolves betray!
+  To-morrow is the satire on to-day,
+  And shows its weakness. Whom shall men believe,
+  When constantly themselves, themselves deceive?
+
+    Long had I bid my once-loved muse adieu;
+  You warm old age; my passion burns anew.
+  How sweet your verse! how great your force of mind!
+  What power of words! what skill in dark mankind!
+  Polite the conduct; generous the design;
+  And beauty files, and strength sustains, each line.
+  Thus Mars and Venus are, once more, beset;
+  Your wit has caught them in its golden net.
+
+    But what strikes home with most exalted grace
+  Is, haughty genius taught to know its place;
+  And, where worth shines, its humbled crest to bend,
+  With zeal devoted to that godlike end.
+  When we discern so rich a vein of sense,
+  Through the smooth flow of purest eloquence;
+  'Tis like the limpid streams of Tagus roll'd
+  O'er boundless wealth, o'er shining beds of gold.
+
+    But whence so finish'd, so refin'd a piece?
+  The tongue denies it to old Rome and Greece;
+  The genius bids the moderns doubt their claim,
+  And slowly take possession of the fame.
+  But I nor know, nor care, by whom 'twas writ,
+  Enough for me that 'tis from human wit;
+  That soothes my pride: all glory in the pen
+  Which has done honour to the race of men.
+
+    But this have others done; a like applause
+  An ancient and a modern Horace draws.(67)
+  But they to glory by degrees arose,
+  Meridian lustre you at once disclose.
+  'Tis continence of mind, unknown before,
+  To write so well, and yet to write no more.
+  More bright renown can human nature claim,
+  Than to deserve, and fly immortal fame?
+
+    Next to the godlike praise of writing well,
+  Is on that praise with just delight to dwell.
+  O, for some God my drooping soul to raise!
+  That I might imitate, as well as praise;
+  For all commend: e'en foes your fame confess;
+  Nor would Augustus' age have priz'd it less;
+  An age, which had not held its pride so long,
+  But for the want of so complete a song.
+
+    A golden period shall from you commence:
+  Peace shall be sign'd 'twixt wit and manly sense;
+  Whether your genius or your rank they view,
+  The muses find their Halifax in you.
+  Like him succeed! nor think my zeal is shown
+  For you; 'tis Britain's interest, not your own;
+  For lofty stations are but golden snares,
+  Which tempt the great to fall in love with cares.
+
+    I would proceed, but age has chill'd my vein,
+  'Twas a short fever, and I'm cool again.
+  Though life I hate, methinks I could renew
+  Its tasteless, painful course, to sing of you.
+  When such the subject, who shall curb his flight?
+  When such your genius, who shall dare to write?
+  In pure respect, I give my rhyming o'er,
+  And, to commend you most, commend no more.
+
+    Adieu, whoe'er thou art! on death's pale coast
+  Erelong I'll talk thee o'er with Dryden's ghost;
+  The bard will smile. A last, a long farewell!
+  Henceforth I hide me in my dusky cell;
+  There wait the friendly stroke that sets me free,
+  And think of immortality and thee--
+  My strains are number'd by the tuneful Nine;
+  Each maid presents her thanks, and all present thee mine.

+
+   25 It is disputed amongst the critics who was the author of the book of
+      Job; some give it to Moses, some to others. As I was engaged in this
+      little performance, some arguments occurred to me which favour the
+      former of those opinions; which arguments I have flung into the
+      following notes, where little else is to be expected.
+
+   26 The Almighty's speech, chapter xxxviii. &c. which is what I
+      paraphrase in this little work, is by much the finest part of the
+      noblest and most ancient poem in the world. Bishop Patrick says, its
+      grandeur is as much above all other poetry, as thunder is louder
+      than a whisper. In order to set this distinguished part of the poem
+      in a fuller light, and give the reader a clearer conception of it, I
+      have abridged the preceding and subsequent parts of the poem, and
+      joined them to it; so that this piece is a sort of an epitome of the
+      whole book of Job.
+
+      I use the word paraphrase, because I want another which might better
+      answer to the uncommon liberties I have taken. I have omitted,
+      added, and transposed. The mountain, the comet, the sun, and other
+      parts, are entirely added: those upon the peacock, the lion, &c. are
+      much enlarged; and I have thrown the whole into a method more suited
+      to our notions of regularity. The judicious, if they compare this
+      piece with the original, will, I flatter myself, find the reasons
+      for the great liberties I have indulged myself in through the whole.
+
+      Longinus has a chapter on interrogations, which shows that they
+      contribute much to the sublime. This speech of the Almighty is made
+      up of them. Interrogation seems indeed the proper style of majesty
+      incensed. It differs from other manner of reproof, as bidding a
+      person execute himself does from a common execution; for he that
+      asks the guilty a proper question, makes him, in effect, pass
+      sentence on himself.
+
+   27 The book of Job is well known to be dramatic, and, like the
+      tragedies of old Greece, is fiction built on truth. Probably this
+      most noble part of it, the Almighty speaking out of the whirlwind,
+      (so suitable to the after-practice of the Greek stage, when there
+      happened _dignus vindice nodus_,) is fictitious; but is a fiction
+      more agreeable to the time in which Job lived, than to any since.
+      Frequent before the law were the appearances of the Almighty after
+      this manner, Exod. c. xix. Ezek. c. i. &c. Hence is he said to
+      "dwell in thick darkness: and have his way in the whirlwind."
+
+   28 There is a very great air in all that precedes, but this is signally
+      sublime. We are struck with admiration to see the vast and
+      ungovernable ocean receiving commands, and punctually obeying them;
+      to find it like a managed horse, raging, tossing, and foaming, but
+      by the rule and direction of its master. This passage yields in
+      sublimity to that of "Let there be light," &c., so much only as the
+      absolute government of nature yields to the creation of it.
+
+   29 Another argument that Moses was the author, is, that most of the
+      creatures here mentioned are Egyptian. The reason given why the
+      raven is particularly mentioned as an object of the care of
+      Providence, is, because by her clamorous and importunate voice, she
+      particularly seems always calling upon it; thence [Greek: korasso, a
+      korax], AElian. l. ii. c. 48, is "to ask earnestly." And since there
+      were ravens on the bank of the Nile more clamorous than the rest of
+      that species, those probably are meant in that place.
+
+   30 There are many instances of this bird's stupidity: let two suffice.
+      First, it covers its head in the reeds, and thinks itself all out of
+      sight,
+
+
+                      Stat lumine clauso
+            Ridendum revoluta caput, creditque latere
+            Quae non ipsa videt.
+
+                                                                Claud.
+
+
+      Secondly, they that go in pursuit of them, draw the skin of an
+      ostrich's neck on one hand, which proves a sufficient lure to take
+      them with the other.
+
+      They have so little brain, that Heliogabalus had six hundred heads
+      for his supper.
+
+      Here we may observe, that our judicious as well as sublime author,
+      just touches the great points of distinction in each creature, and
+      then hastens to another. A description is exact when you cannot add,
+      but what is common to another thing; nor withdraw, but something
+      peculiarly belonging to the thing described. A likeness is lost in
+      too much description, as a meaning often in too much illustration.
+
+   31 Here is marked another peculiar quality of this creature, which
+      neither flies nor runs directly, but has a motion composed of both,
+      and, using its wings as sails, makes great speed.
+
+
+            Vasta velut Libyae venantum vocibus ales
+            Cum premitur, calidas cursu transmittit arenas,
+            Inque modum veli sinuatis flamine pennis
+            Pulverulenta volat.
+
+                                                       Claud. in Eutr.
+
+
+   32 Xenophon says, Cyrus had horses that could overtake the goat and the
+      wild ass; but none that could reach this creature. A thousand golden
+      ducats, or a hundred camels, was the stated price of a horse that
+      could equal their speed.
+
+   33 Though this bird is but just mentioned in my author, I could not
+      forbear going a little farther, and spreading those beautiful plumes
+      (which are there shut up) in half a dozen lines. The circumstance I
+      have marked of his opening his plumes to the sun is true. Expandit
+      colores adverso maxime sole, quia sic fulgentius radiant. Plin. l.
+      x. c. 20.
+
+   34 Thyanus (de Re Accip.) mentions a hawk that flew from Paris to
+      London in a night.
+
+      And the Egyptians, in regard to its swiftness, made it their symbol
+      for the wind; for which reason we may suppose the hawk, as well as
+      the crow above, to have been a bird of note in Egypt.
+
+   35 The eagle is said to be of so acute a sight, that when she is so
+      high in air that man cannot see her, she can discern the smallest
+      fish under water. My author accurately understood the nature of the
+      creatures he describes, and seems to have been a naturalist as well
+      as a poet, which the next note will confirm.
+
+   36 The meaning of this question is, Knowest thou the time and
+      circumstances of their bringing forth? For to know the time only was
+      easy, and had nothing extraordinary in it; but the circumstances had
+      something peculiarly expressive of God's providence, which makes the
+      question proper in this place. Pliny observes, that the hind with
+      young is by instinct directed to a certain herb called Seselis,
+      which facilitates the birth. Thunder also (which looks like the more
+      immediate hand of Providence) has the same effect. Ps. xxix. In so
+      early an age to observe these things, may style our author a
+      naturalist.
+
+   37 Pursuing their prey by night is true of most wild beasts,
+      particularly the lion. Ps. cvi. 20. The Arabians have one among
+      their five hundred names for the lion, which signifies "the hunter
+      by moonshine."
+
+           38 Cephissi glaciale caput, quo suetus anhelam
+        Ferre sitim Python, amnemque avertere ponto.

+
+      Let not then this hyperbole seem too much for an eastern poet,
+      though some commentators of name strain hard in this place for a new
+      construction, through fear of it.
+
+   39 The taking the crocodile is most difficult. Diodorus says, they are
+      not to be taken but by iron nets. When Augustus conquered Egypt, he
+      struck a medal, the impress of which was a crocodile chained to a
+      palm-tree, with this inscription, Nemo antea religavit.
+
+   40 This alludes to a custom of this creature, which is, when sated with
+      fish, to come ashore and sleep among the reeds.
+
+   41 The crocodile's mouth is exceeding wide. When he gapes, says Pliny,
+      sic totum os. Martial says to his old woman,
+
+        Cum comparata rictibus tuis ora
+        Niliacus habet crocodilus angusta.
+
+      So that the expression there is barely just.
+
+   42 This too is nearer the truth than at first view may be imagined. The
+      crocodile, say the naturalists, lying long under water, and being
+      there forced to hold its breath, when it emerges, the breath long
+      represt is hot, and bursts out so violently, that it resembles fire
+      and smoke. The horse suppresses not his breath by any means so long,
+      neither is he so fierce and animated; yet the most correct of poets
+      ventures to use the same metaphor concerning him:
+
+        Collectumque premens volvit sub naribus ignem.
+
+      By this and the foregoing note I would caution against a false
+      opinion of the eastern boldness, from passages in them ill
+      understood.
+
+   43 "His eyes are like the eyelids of the morning." I think this gives
+      us as great an image of the thing it would express as can enter the
+      thought of man. It is not improbable that the Egyptians stole their
+      hieroglyphic for the morning, which is the crocodile's eye, from
+      this passage, though no commentator, I have seen, mentions it. It is
+      easy to conceive how the Egyptians should be both readers and
+      admirers of the writings of Moses, whom I suppose the author of this
+      poem.
+
+      I have observed already that three or four of the creatures here
+      described are Egyptian; the two last are notoriously so, they are
+      the river-horse and the crocodile, those celebrated inhabitants of
+      the Nile; and on these two it is that our author chiefly dwells. It
+      would have been expected from an author more remote from that river
+      than Moses, in a catalogue of creatures produced to magnify their
+      Creator, to have dwelt on the two largest works of his hand, viz.
+      the elephant and the whale. This is so natural an expectation, that
+      some commentators have rendered behemoth and leviathan, the elephant
+      and whale, though the descriptions in our author will not admit of
+      it; but Moses being, as we may well suppose, under an immediate
+      terror of the hippopotamus and crocodile, from their daily mischiefs
+      and ravages around him, it is very accountable why he should permit
+      them to take place.
+
+   44 Though the report was propagated without the least truth, it may be
+      sufficient ground to justify a poetical fancy's enlarging on it.
+
+   45 Lord Aubrey Beauclerk was the eighth son of the Duke of St. Albans,
+      who was one of the sons of King Charles the Second. He was born in
+      the year 1711; and, being regularly bred to the sea service, in 1731
+      he was appointed to the command of his majesty's ship the Ludlow
+      Castle; and he commanded the Prince Frederick at the attack of the
+      harbour of Carthagena, March 24, 1741. This young nobleman was one
+      of the most promising commanders in the king's service. When on the
+      desperate attack of the castle of Bocca Chica, at the entrance of

+any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project Gutenberg"),
+you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~}
+License (available with this file or online at

+Section 1.
+
+
+General Terms of Use & Redistributing Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic works
+
+
+1.A.
+
+
+By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic work,
+you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to and accept all the
+terms of this license and intellectual property (trademark/copyright)
+agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all the terms of this
+agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy all copies of
+Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic works in your possession. If you paid a fee
+for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic work
+and you do not agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement, you may
+obtain a refund from the person or entity to whom you paid the fee as set
+forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+
+1.B.
+
+
+"Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be used on or
+associated in any way with an electronic work by people who agree to be
+bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few things that you can
+do with most Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic works even without complying
+with the full terms of this agreement. See paragraph 1.C below. There are
+a lot of things you can do with Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic works if you
+follow the terms of this agreement and help preserve free future access to
+Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+
+1.C.
+
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation" or
+PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an individual
+work is in the public domain in the United States and you are located in
+the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from copying,
+distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative works based on
+the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of
+course, we hope that you will support the Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} mission of
+promoting free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project
+Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for
+keeping the Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} name associated with the work. You can
+easily comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the
+same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} License when you
+share it without charge with others.
+
+
+1.D.
+
+
+The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern what you
+can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in a constant
+state of change. If you are outside the United States, check the laws of
+your country in addition to the terms of this agreement before
+downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or creating
+derivative works based on this work or any other Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} work.
+The Foundation makes no representations concerning the copyright status of
+any work in any country outside the United States.
+
+
+1.E.
+
+
+Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+
+1.E.1.
+
+
+The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate access
+to, the full Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} License must appear prominently whenever
+any copy of a Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} work (any work on which the phrase
+"Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project Gutenberg"
+is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed, copied or
+distributed:
+
+
+    This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+    almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away
+    or re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License
+    included with this eBook or online at http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+
+1.E.2.
+
+
+If an individual Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic work is derived from the
+public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is posted with
+permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied and
+distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees or
+charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work with the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the work, you
+must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7
+or obtain permission for the use of the work and the Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~}
+trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+
+1.E.3.
+
+
+If an individual Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic work is posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution must comply
+with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional terms imposed
+by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked to the Project
+Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} License for all works posted with the permission of the
+copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+
+1.E.4.

+terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this work or any
+other work associated with Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~}.

+work, or any part of this electronic work, without prominently displaying

+access to the full terms of the Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} License.
+
+
+1.E.6.
+
+
+You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary, compressed,
+marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any word
+processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version posted
+on the official Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} web site (http://www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other form.
+Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} License as
+specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+
+1.E.7.

+You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing access to or

+    - You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from

+      already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is owed to
+      the owner of the Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} trademark, but he has agreed to
+      donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project Gutenberg
+      Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid within 60
+      days following each date on which you prepare (or are legally
+      required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty payments

+      Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in Section 4,
+      "Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+      Archive Foundation."
+
+    - You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+      you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+      does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} License.
+      You must require such a user to return or destroy all copies of the
+      works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue all use of and
+      all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} works.
+
+    - You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of
+      any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the

+    - You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+      distribution of Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} works.

+
+
+1.F.
+
+
+1.F.1.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to
+identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread public domain
+works in creating the Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} collection. Despite these
+efforts, Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic works, and the medium on which they
+may be stored, may contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to,
+incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright
+or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk
+or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot
+be read by your equipment.
+
+
+1.F.2.
+
+
+LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES -- Except for the "Right of
+Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~}
+trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~}
+electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for
+damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE
+NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH
+OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE
+FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT
+WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL,
+PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY
+OF SUCH DAMAGE.
+
+
+1.F.3.
+
+
+LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND -- If you discover a defect in this
+electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can receive a refund
+of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a written explanation to
+the person you received the work from. If you received the work on a
+physical medium, you must return the medium with your written explanation.
+The person or entity that provided you with the defective work may elect
+to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the
+work electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose
+to give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in
+lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a
+refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+
+1.F.4.
+
+
+Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in
+paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS,' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+
+1.F.5.
+
+
+Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the
+exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or
+limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state
+applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make
+the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state
+law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement
+shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+
+1.F.6.
+
+
+INDEMNITY -- You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark
+owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of
+Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and
+any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution
+of Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs
+and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from
+any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of
+this or any Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} work, (b) alteration, modification, or
+additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} work, and (c) any Defect
+you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.
+
+
+           Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~}
+
+
+Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic
+works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including
+obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the
+efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks
+of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance
+they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~}'s goals and ensuring
+that the Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} collection will remain freely available for
+generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for
+Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} and future generations. To learn more about the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations
+can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation web page at
+http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.
+
+
+   Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of
+Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service.
+The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541.
+Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. Contributions to the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full
+extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+

+Section 4.
+
+
+  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+                                Foundation
+
+
+Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread
+public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the
+number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed
+in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment
+including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are
+particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States.
+Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable
+effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these
+requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not
+received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or
+determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit
+http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have
+not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against
+accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us
+with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any
+statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the
+United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods
+and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including
+checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please
+visit: http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate

+Section 5.
+
+
+      General Information About Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic works.
+
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~}
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with
+anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~}
+eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} eBooks are often created from several printed editions,
+all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright
+notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance
+with any particular paper edition.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's eBook
+number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, compressed
+(zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected _editions_ of our eBooks replace the old file and take over the
+old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed.
+_Versions_ based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+
+    http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~}, including how
+to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation,
+how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email
+newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
