THE FRIENDLY GUARDIAN.
Adareffcdto tbs Fair Sex.
ATHER than be your Have the bard’s your
friend ;
To Kim, your guardian, may your smiles extend.
Your smiles ore fame : dart but the auspicious ray,
Each snarling critic then he’ll keep at bay.
With gen’rous zeal the poet this imparts,
He bravely dares to fheild your virgin hearts,
Guard t’rm againlt the follies of the age,
Which flights the press, the pulpit, and the flage.
Would you, ye fair, those radient plains behold,
Where i'loom immortal amaranth and gold ?
Would you enraptur’d-^oin th’ angelic choir,
Who wake to love and joy the glitt’rin^ lyre ?
Novels rejeS, 'tis Fordyce points the way
To dazzling regions of eternal day.
Intrigues and flatt'ry, billet-doux and dress,
Those tempting fyrens, which ye oft caress.
In future Ihun ; (hould they an entrance find,
They’ll like the serpent leave a fling behind.
If whist, quadrille, or 100, your thoughts employ,
And are the darling objects o our eye,
Be timely wife, left you’re by fortune toll,
And health, and gold, and character be loft.
Eve’s fate I next relate, each made to warn,
Who makes the guidance of our lex their scorn.-
How wretched was your spotless pa; ent made,
When from her Adams faithful flue Ihe ftray’d !
O think on this, ye fair, nor blufti to prove
The joy and fafety of connubial love.
But in th’ important choice let reason guide,
Reason to lave fliould always be allied.
May then my Muse be worthy to ad vile,
And teach you whom to flee, and whom to prize.
The coxcomb pert, that trifling thing a beau,
Those glitt’ring nothings, full of whim and show.
The country ’fquire who only boasts a name,
Whole wealth’s his worth, whose title is his fame.
And mark ye well the hypocrit’s difgufe,
Whose tongue profefles what his heart denies.
Such, such, contemn, like noxious fruit, they’re
found
Deceitful, fatelefs, dangerous, and unsound.
The wife, the brave, the polifh’d, let them share
Your tenderest love and most endearing care.
Then will ye,beauteous nymphs,them truths confefs,
That nothing’s like the heart of him ye bless.
That man alone can all your steps direst.
When doubtful, guide you, when diftrefs’d protest.
Such halcyon hours fliine forth in George’s reign :
He with his Charlotte wears thfc pleasing chain :
He with her Ihares such neft’rous sweets of love,
And rofe-lip’d seraphs taste in realms above.
