ADMFs's TO THE VIRTUES
By Peter Pindar
AH Virtues ! you are pretty looking creatures
But then fo meek and feeble in your natures —
Thou charming Chaftity now par example
tyho guard’ll the lufeious lip and fnowy bread
And all that maketh wifcing flrepherds bled
Forbidding thieves on facred ground to trample-
Appear but Iove the favage all is lod
Faint trembling blulhing thou giv’d up the ghod
Lo there’s an end of all thy mincing care !
The field fo guarded in the tyrant’s pow’r
Each fence torn down defpoil’d each irofiy bower
All all is rudely plunder’d and laid bare
Virtues 1 you blunder’d on our world 1 fear—
Defign’d for fome more gentle fpbere
Where the wild paffions dorm ye not nor teaze ye
Where ev’ry animal’s a mild Marched
I know your parentage and education—
Born in the dries — a lofty habitation—
But fot a perfect fyftem were intended
Where people never needed to be mended
How could you think the paffions to withdand
Thofe roving blades fo out of all command
Vhofe dighted touch would pull me all to pieces
They are Goliahs — you but little MidTes
Then pray go home again each pretty dear—
You but difgrace yourfelves by ednung here
anecdote
A robber being brought to the place of
execution to have his ears cut off the ex
ecutioner proceeding to his office found
that the criminal had no ears Body oi
Chrift cried he where are your ears ?
Body of bis mother laid the culprit am i
obliged to furnish you
