Great Sir, you know, nor need I tell,
How hard a Lot to me has fell.
You also know how well I've ferv’d
YourCaufe, nor in one Tittle fwerv’d
From those great Laws, which govern all
The word that liv’d since Adam’s Fall.
Zealous I’ve been for none but you,
And bid all Grace a long Adieu.
D L.
Yes, my own Son, I long have view’d
Those Gifts with which you are endued ;
And feel o’erjoy’d to find a Man
So zealous in my darling Plan.
When firft the present Scheme was darted,
’Tis true, we all felt feeble hearted ;
And, though I fat at Flelm, I fear’d
The Ship would be but badly deer’d.
It is no common Talk,' I tell you,
It needs a d d indudrious Fellow ;
Lord N—-h indeed the reins has took,
(Flis Name diows largely in my Book.)
Commander.
Doubtless your Wisdom has pick’d out
The very Man to bring about
Your Measures, and refolv’ am I,
In this fame Cause to fight and die.
D L.
Your Education firft I form’d,
With ev’ry Paflion rear’d and warm’d.
I taught you whilst you liv’d at Home,
To fear the Deity of Rome ;
To bow before his Throne, and know
How rich and free his Pardons flow ;
And now to propagate the fame,
Is my Desire, my greatest Aim :
For since the Reign of this great Power,
Hell swarms with Subje&s ev’ry Hour.
Commander.
The Pope I’ve worfliipp’d long,’tis true.
But this must be ’twixt me and you ;
With all our Zeal, we must not dare.
One Syllable of this declare
For in this Place, you know, are those,
Who fear a GOD, nor let his Foes
Transgress all Laws divinely made,
As if true finning was a Trade.
But pray, dear Father, be so good
To tell me how to save my Blood ;
For all my Life shall sure be spent,
To ferv'e your Cause with full Intent;
Nor leave me in this plaguy Scrape,
Whence I can’t fly in any Shape.
Desert not me, a Friend so rare,
Nor rack my Soul, ’twixt Hope and Fear.
A DIALOGUE between two Friends, viz. An
unlimited Commander, now in America, and
the D—l.
Commander.
OH ! thou great Ruler of my Soul !
Who can’d with perfect Ease, controul
The Thoughts and Secrets of my Bread,
Behold me now, with Fears opprefs’d.
Prodrate before thy Throne I fall,
And offer up myfelf, my All.
D L.
"What wilt thou greatest of Mankind ?
Declare thy Will; in me you find
The zealous Friend, and bed Adviser ;
To speak the Truth there’s no one wiser.
Commander.
D L.
Fear not, my darling Son, go on,
’Till all your arduous Talk be done.
Drive on your Work, and never cease,
Nor give their Souls one Moment’s Peace ;
Involv’d so deep, ne’er look about,
I help Men in, but never out.
