+ Bring to your mind a dismal scene late past, + And let that guilty Amour be your last. + Think of my friend that was of late so gay, + By your vile arts dishonour'd and away; + From every joy that animates this life, + The tender mother and the happy wife. + A husband's frowns, a father's burning tears, + For Stella's folly much increase their cares. + A brother mourns, in solitude forlorn, + To hear his Stella meet reproof and scorn: + In tears he cries, my sister's late disgrace + Will plant a stigma on the female race. + Those friends so late that used to Stella stray, + Now bend their courses far another way. + She mourns in privacy her honour flown, + And sighs to find illicit scenes are known. + These sorrowing truths I feelingly renew, + And know, oh guilty man! they rise from you. + Can all your wealth lost honour ever gain? + That, Sir, is scorn'd--it is the impious stain + You've brought on Stella, to the end of life, + And robs her all the comforts of a wife. + Abandon'd man you must atone for all, + Ere life is o'er on God for mercy call. + Your mind is harass'd by reflection's gale, + That oft to you its bitterness exhale: + Tempted by folly every scene pursue, + That dissipation can expose to view. + The softer pleasures that enrich the mind, + That learning dictates, from you lag behind; + Its cruel sport that bears a sov'reign sway, + To them and such like them you waste the day. + Know, Sir, that wealth an't given to us here, + To bring to infamy the British fair. + Too much, I fear, you wanton hours employ, + The needy woman daily to decoy. + Too many wantons now disgrace this Isle, + Whose bad example off the young beguile; + I hope that plans to stop them will increase, + And her that now is wretched rest in peace. + Your gen'rous family will ever gain, + Affection's tribute while we life retain: + Pure is the vine, except a leaf or two, + Soon they'll decay and be no more in view. + Disgrac'd, disown'd, to foreign lands they'll fly, + The censur'd objects of the Deity. + Wealth cannot stop the torrent of reproach, + Tho' screen'd from Britons by a gaudy coach; + Its inmate oft tho' clad in rich array, + Meets hoots and hisses as he rides away; + Till spleen, that canker of the human heart, + Makes him oft wish he could from life depart. + It is a scourge offended laws can't give, + The worst of torments whilst its object live; + Sometimes it stops our vices as they rise, + While chaster thoughts the wav'ing mind supplies. + Oft does a parent with paternal care, + His only Daughter with affection rear; + Soon as the time arrives his cares to pay, + A vile seducer takes his gem away;-- + Wafts her to infamy of every kind, + Then leaves the object with a tortur'd mind. + Still does her heart with pure affection burn, + Wish to a father's roof again to turn;-- + Just at that period--lucre tempts again, + And the weak vessel totters on the main: + She reels, she sinks, from chaste affections view, + To taste the draught of bitterness anew. + Some vile procuress with a demon's skill, + In a short period gains her to her will; + Till grown familiar to a harlot's life, + Quote inebriety to banish strife; + Becomes familiar to a vicious plan, + Adds to the charmers in the siren's den; + To liquor fly to banish thoughts of home, + And nightly forc'd for ways and means to roam. + Sweet health is banish'd and she finds too late, + Some dismal bridewell soon must be her fate; + All means are fled, the staff of life to gain, + To bridewell hurried with remorse and pain. + A pass is granted,--to her father sent, + Where she is foster'd from the element. + A tender parent kiss the long lost child, + Assures forgiveness tho' by grief turn'd wild. + Soon as the mind to calmer scenes invite, + He bless the hour that brought his lost to sight. + A scene like this came lately to my ear, + I know the parent and his worth revere. + Frequent do parents cause the great distress, + That on their daughters unexpected press. + The mother drains her pockets very low, + That Miss may make a gaudy flippant show; + To country balls she often bends her way, + And is allowed with cards and dice to play. + View but the manners of the modern belle, + And see if they don't levity foretell: + The bosom oft appears too much in view, + Sweet modesty is forc'd to bid adieu: + To her chaste dictates she cannot attend, + Indeed they do not deem her as a friend. + Mark how they roll their lively eyes about, + Just like her Ladyship when at a rout. + A piece of music next the parlour grace, + While vanity is striding on apace: + So swift she flies that almost time outrun; + By her manoeuvres oft the fair's undone; + Miss cannot look on any but a squire, + Or dress'd up coxcombs, only them admire; + An honest farmer's son they call a clown, + Likes none but puppies living in a town; + Such creatures, soon as wedded, only strive + How to jog on and keep the game alive: + Careless who suffers if they can but live, + Wanting still more than prudent parents give; + All wishes gratified,--in hopes that Miss + Will soon enjoy the matrimonial bliss. + A prudent living man is known to say, + For me such bawbles dress too fine and gay; + She'd squander money much against my will, + In paying milliner's enormous bill. + Such conduct in a parent may be wise, + Where good estates can all his wants supplies; + The ill effects that rise from such a plan, + Is were stern poverty assails the man. + Parents there are who often live this way, + Although two shillings in the pound can't pay. + Soon as their creditors do sharply press, + The lovely maidens feel extreme distress; + No lover then to sooth the drooping eye, + When poverty is seen from them they fly: + Unfit to baffle with the frowns of life, + And greatly more so for to be a wife. + Then does the wealthy Libertine succeed, + Furnish their pockets known to be in need; + Takes Miss from home to grace a chaise and pair, + While the unhappy parents nurse despair. + + + + +A LETTER FROM +_Miss Maria C***_, _to her Parents at_ + + + * * * * * + + My pen I take, my wretched fate to state, + Pardon, oh pardon, tho' a vile ingrate; + Your daughter late so innocent and gay, + Was by a vile seducer led astray + From those chase precepts by you taught to know, + That he who sets above knows all below; + Either on earth or in the heavenly skies, + Each substance falls or as he wishes rise. + I fell a victim to unchaste desires, + And feel those sorrows vengeance now requires, + After I left a parent's house and home, + Induced with wicked Henry to roam; + That sweet society my bosom knew, + From me that instant bade a long adieu. + Time, I much fear, will not that balm restore; + Its fled from me and will return no more. + I know that sweet compassion fills your mind, + And to forgiveness ever was inclin'd; + Take then your daughter to your arms again, + And she from latent vices will abstain. + With pious thoughts she'll pass the day away, + Till stern reproof is banish'd far away; + Too well I know that censure will appear, + In every mansion when Maria's there; + Soon as the vengeance of her sting is cast, + The scoffers arrogance no longer last; + Too true I know that woes I'm doom'd to bear, + The unfeeling frown the virgin's haughty sneer; + In time they'll vanish when its known I rove, + In virtue's path with innocence and love. + My prayers I'll offer to the throne on high, + And live as ordered by the Deity. + Lately I met my Mother's upper maid, + To ask her questions I was much afraid; + Yet ere I bade the honest girl adieu, + Nature compell'd me to inquire of you: + She said my mother fell a prey to grief, + And that no medicine could give relief; + In stating this a tear escaped her eye. + Return she cried, then heaved a tender sigh: + I will return and ere her spirits fled, + Press my lov'd mother on her couch or bed. + For pity's sake write me a line to say, + If I to you may speedy bend my way; + This boon is all I ask and now I crave, + A parent's blessing ere I meet the grave. + + [Picture: Divider] + + + + +To the Memory of +MR. PAGE, +LATE OF +_PULHAM MARKET_. + + + [Picture: Divider] + + My pen but faintly can declare, + The virtues of his mind; + Well he deserves the friendly tear, + From those he leaves behind. + + Dissimulation could not rest + A moment on his face, + No wicked thoughts annoy'd his breast, + Nor envy found a place. + + To friends and neighbours was sincere, + He cheerful pass'd the day; + His memory many will revere, + Till they are call'd away. + + Enough I cannot say of him, + The reason's very plain; + But few were so devoid of sin, + No better here remain. + + Quite well he knew the ways of life, + Performed one noble plan, + Avoiding things that brought or strife, + And justice did to man. + + His conversation sweetly pure, + For prudence led the way; + None but those he could endure, + Who would her strains obey. + + Once on a time by ills oppress'd, + I asked his friendly aid; + He lull'd my anxious mind to rest, + And sorrow quick dismayed. + + At Pulham market, left behind, + Those friends he did revere; + To every stranger they are kind + To friendship are sincere. + + No party spirit there can dwell, + A day within that place; + They bid her give a long farewell, + Nor dare to show her face. + + The humble tradesman can retire, + If pleasure leads his mind; + Beside the wealthy farmer's fire, + And gain attention kind. + + The labouring poor will seldom part, + From those that him employ; + Good usage animates the heart, + And bitter thoughts destroy. + + In the gay village all around, + A little cot you'll find, + Behind it is the garden ground, + To please the tenants' mind. + + Seldom is rais'd the tasker's cot, + Not often turn'd away; + No murmuring on his master's spot, + He cheerful him obey. + + The farmer's wife the poor supply, + With barm and milk beside, + To do them good each other vie, + To serve them is their pride. + + The humble and the wealthy sing + To Albion's long success; + Good news for England pleasure bring, + And adverse gales distress. + + Again on Page my humble strains, + With melancholy dwell; + To tell the grief and heart felt pains, + To bid a long farewell. + + It's gratitude that urge the pen, + It's friendship leads the way; + To speak the virtues of a man, + That death has call'd away. + + Oh may his spirit ever rest, + Beside the God of all, + And ever number'd with the blest, + Till he shall judge us all. + + Death brought no terrors to his heart, + For resignation staid, + Till from his life he should depart, + And lent her cheering aid. + + Oh God he cried I've no pretence, + To think election sure; + Cleanse, cleanse my soul, ere I go hence + And join me with the pure. + + + + +POLITICAL SURGEON. + + + [Picture: Divider] + + Tune--"The Exciseman." + + In a country village that's near, + A very good market for beef; + Thro' a lane a neat mansion appear, + Whose owner can give you relief. + + No one in the place doubts his skill, + Due attention he pays to the poor, + To them he'll diminish his bill; + If adversity stands at the door. + + I fear he brain fevers increase, + To those that are fond of the state, + To upbraid it he seldom will cease, + And will its mishaps glad relate. + + To men that are loyal and brave; + Such stuff will but faintly go down, + All judge it the trick of a knave, + That endeavour to harass the crown. + + When first to the village he went; + All pensions and placemen were bad, + Of doctrine so foul he's relent, + By vanity's rays he's misled. + + When a man is well known to be poor, + Such gammon he'll cram in your ear, + Yet when the wolf's fled from his door, + He a different thing will appear. + + The time that I stated 'twas thought, + He scarcely could raise half a crown, + And some people say not a groat, + Till a lady arrived in the town. + + But soon he found money in hand, + Enough for to purchase a farm, + Of two hundred acres of land, + Which did all his cravings disarm. + + He attended me once to ease pain; + I found him a man very wise; + Awhile would my patience detain; + To tell me the stocks could not rise. + + He said that the state was so poor, + A bankrupt it soon would be found, + I told him to state it no more + His noddle I feared was unsound. + + The camelion its colours oft change, + And so can the doctor his plan, + To loyalty's converse can range, + To suit any very rich man. + + With the ladies he neatly can toy, + I mean quite by decency's rule; + Yet his nonsense the wiser annoy, + Of sagacity's plan but a tool. + + A more sober man cannot be, + For water is chief of his drink; + He is very well liked on by me, + I'm always for purple and pink. + + + + +CHEERFUL ISAAC. + + + [Picture: Divider] + + Tune--"The Wedding Day." + + Isaac lives in a cottage near the road side, + He envies not Princes or Kings, + Unacquainted with splendor no lover of pride, + He says it oft poverty brings. + + Trudges all day with his plough void of care, + At eve to the village he flies, + In hopes a good ditty or story to hear; + For those all his wishes supplies. + + Sometimes his noddle so dizzy is grown, + That he cannot exact his path find; + Yet Isaac is nettled whenever tis known, + Slaves to old Bacchus go blind. + + True friendship he loves and friendly to all, + That dame fortune e'er send to his door; + With a glass of strong ale welcome them all, + Tho' it be from the labouring poor. + + His wife is at all times as anxious to send, + Her boon were distress points the way; + To the needy she is daily a friend, + Her efforts oft poverty stay. + + They trudge on united unblemished by art, + She delights in the dairy and cow; + From the first dawn of morn till phoebus depart, + While Isaac's engaged with the plough. + + No worthier couple dwell far around, + Good nature in them can be seen; + In their happy retreat mirth wide abound, + Unknown to ill nature or spleen. + + May Isaac and many that live near the town, + This Christmas most cheerfully meet; + To chat o'er a glass at the Falcon or Crown, + Join'd by others that at dwell in the street. + + Both Landlords endeavour strangers to please, + By keeping of liquors the best; + With very soft beds that you may lay at ease, + When disposed to adjourn for to rest. + + At Pulham Market, this motto remain, + Let us always be merry thro' life, + Drink success to our King again and again, + To banish dull care pain and strife. + + + + +To the Memory of +MR. SELF, +LATE OF +_PULHAM MARKET HALL_. + + + The tear of regret was observed all around, + When our neighbour and friend was consigned to the ground; + If penury hung round the Cottager's door, + He ne'er would forget to remember the poor. + So cheerful in converse you always would find, + Neither spleen or ill nature could harass his mind; + Till age made its inroads he'd join with the gay, + At manly amusements to gladden the day. + In most friendly meetings for him they would call, + For I can say with truth he was liked by us all; + Good news for his country would him much pleasure bring, + For no subject in Britain rever'd more his King. + His conduct and actions would plainly foretell, + As a husband or parent but few did excel. + He was always a friend to the labouring poor, + To serve them at all times no one could strive more. + In all parish concerns he was found to be just, + And ne'er was the man that dishonoured his trust, + May the Angel that note all our errors above, + Blot out our lov'd friends thro' angelical love: + May his spirit be numbered with those of the blest, + The moment grim death planted darts in his breast. + May his Children be strangers to every strife, + That too frequent attend many mortals thro' life; + And when it shall choose the Almighty to call + Them from earthly troubles may he pardon them all. + + + + +THE VALIANT CAPTAIN. + + + * * * * * + + Tune.--"Derry Down." + + This night I am trying a picture to draw, + Whom you know very well is a son of the law; + A wonder of wonders, he will not drive the quill, + To injure another, or make a bad will. + + To increase a dispute he begs leave to decline, + And will settle such things o'er a glass of good wine; + When 'twas said we soon should be invaded by France, + Oh dear how he made his gay pony quick dance. + + I fear 'twould be found he would be in the rear, + If the time was to come that their armies were near; + And was they on Albion's shore to arrive, + The shock would be such that he could not survive. + + As Hudibras says, he this notion retain, + He that quick runs away may perhaps fight again; + On Sundays he brought his brave men to our view, + But some people say they no fighting e'er knew. + + Had such been the case I will answer to say, + But those very brave valiants would soon run away; + Give them plumb pudding and plenty of beef, + And alone on the ground would be found the grand Chief. + + Show him but a bottle of excellent wine, + And I'd warrant to say he'd the contest decline; + If talking would do he would frighten them all, + But I don't think he'd like to see powder or ball, + + Come whistling near to his brain-pan or heart; + From such trying scenes he would gladly depart; + As a neighbour he's worthy the village esteem, + May he ne'er want a bottle nor I a good theme. + + [Picture: Divider] + + + + +OLD JACK.--A SONG. + + + Tune.--"The Exciseman". + + Not far from the village you'll see, + A snug little mansion appear, + As pleasant I think as can be, + To divert all its inmates from care. + + It's embellish'd with pebbles and glass, + Which in buildings is rare to be seen; + To enliven the eye as you pass, + In the front is a very neat green. + + One side there a clump of fir trees, + The other a garden with fruit, + With flowerets the ladies to please, + And a jasmine tree into boot. + + A paddock adjoins the loved spot, + Another thing more you'll denote; + For work-men a very neat cot, + With a very good round little moat. + + At the end of the cottage oft lay, + The black little scot on the straw; + On whom do old Jack in the day + At times lay his delicate paw. + + I dare not almost for my life, + Tell Jack what I really do think; + That the scot he likes well as his wife, + Except it is strong beer to drink. + + But old Jack he is getting quite old, + Was always a good natured man; + You could not allure him by gold, + To act in a dishonest plan. + + Few dare the old man to oppose, + Be him ever so much in the wrong, + For many he takes by the nose, {20} + Be they ever so stout or so strong. + + He envies not those in fine gigs, + His mind he keeps constant at ease, + Pass his time with the bullocks and pigs, + And his master most commonly please. + + May the master and man live as long, + As comforts on earth can be found; + Then be join'd to the heavenly throng, + Where angelical pleasures abound. + + + + +ON THE DEATH +OF +_BEN GEE_. + + + [Picture: Divider] + + Alas, the dull bell his departure declares, + His wife and poor children are shedding those tears + That flows from sincerity's bosom of grief, + Scarce can old time give a lapse from relief. + The widow to ease or the orphan protect, + He would never a minute in friendship neglect; + Sometimes ungrateful they each of them prov'd, + At tales of affliction his bosom was moved. + How cheerful he'd set tho' hard blew the gale, + Amusing his friends with a voyager's tale. + Ill nature did never his features deform, + His hopes were thro' life to weather the storm. + Sometimes fickle fortune to him would prove kind, + Then he'd furl up his sails for a respite to mind; + When the mishaps of life to his bosom gave pain, + He would boldly embark on the ocean again; + In hopes that hereafter more lucky to be, + He would venture his all to the boisterous sea. + To a gloomy prison, with numbers hard press'd, + Oft thought of his home was greatly distress'd; + Yet the moment the tears of affliction was o'er, + Cherish'd a hope for to see them once more. + Return'd and no language those joys can impart, + When he press'd with affection his wife to his heart; + His children all gladden'd their Father to see, + Some hung round his neck, while some press'd his knee. + Pure friendship then enter'd their old friend to greet, + And happy was many, the sailor to meet. + They cried, your long absence have given us pain, + But thank God in safety we see you again. + 'T was the last trip he made, pale sickness o'er-spread + The cheek once so rosy, and forced to his bed, + A Man that ne'er harbour'd a thought in his breast + To injure another or rob him of rest. + With calmness he cried, wife and children adieu, + My feelings foretel me I'm not long with you. + GOD fix my departure, and his will be done, + Lay me close by my house when my hour glass is run. + Complied were his wishes, for near is the grave, + Where Lieth the Body of BEN GEE the Brave. + + + + +ELEGY +ON THE DEATHS OF +_MR. BEALE AND HIS DAUGHTER_. + + + Late of Herts. + + My Friends are fled from mortal eye, + God sent the just decree; + Let us submit to him on high, + Who made the Earth and Sea. + + I hear again that death has paid, + A second visit where, + Lately dwelt a virtuous maid, + And parent's tender care. + + Dear Madam, let your troubled, breast, + This Earthly comfort find; + God alone can lull to rest + The widow's downcast mind. + + Late did your worthy partner say, + From death no one can flee; + Ere many months are pass'd away, + Our Nancy rests by me. + + Clos'd in that spot from public view, + I've pointed out the grave; + Let pious thoughts stern grief subdue, + Jesus repentants save. + + Adieu! he cried to all around, + That stood beside his bed; + Sweet mercies to us will abound, + If we by grace are led. + + We know that our redeemer live, + Beside the God of all; + Who will our errors all forgive, + If we sincerely call. + + Death came mantling on his brow, + With firmness still he prayed; + O God, on sinners mercy show, + Ere in the grave we're laid. + + His wife and children now deplore + Their loss with many a sigh, + And so does many labouring poor, + With many a weeping eye. + + Truly he did assistance lend, + To those that stood in need, + The orphan in him found a friend, + A constant one indeed. + + _FINIS_. + + * * * * * + + Walker, Printer, near the Duke's Palace, Norwich. + + + + +Footnotes: + + +{20} Jack at times shaves his brother workmen. + + + + +***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK AN ADDRESS TO A WEALTHY LIBERTINE*** + + +******* This file should be named 33456.txt or 33456.zip ******* + + +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: +http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/3/3/4/5/33456 + + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +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.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm 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.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm 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-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm 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. + +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-tm, +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. + |
