But how. you alk, can we e'er hope to soar
Above these feenes, and rife to tragic lore ?
Too oft, alas! we forc'd the unwilling tear,
And petrified the heart with real fear,
Macbeth a harvest of applause will reap,
For some of us, 1 fear have murdered flecp ;
His Lady, too, with grace, will sleep and talk,
Our females have been us'd at night to walk.
Sometimes, indeed, so various is our art,
An Astor may improve and mend his part;
“ Give me a horse," bawls Richard, like a
drone;
Mac'll find a man would help himfelf to one.
Grant us your favor, put us to the ted,
To gain your smiles we'll do our very bed ;
And, without dread of future Turkey Lockits,
'Thus, in an honed way, ftiil pick your pockets.

DOCTOR Donne, <waf a person of
great parts and learning, and in par.
ticular favor ^itb King fames the First,
as °weli as much reJpeßed and vifted by the
great men of his day. When the time of his
departurefrom this nseorld drew near, being
upon his death bed, and taking afolemnfare
well of his friends, he made this weighty
declaration to them :—“ I repent of all m,
life, but that part of it which Ifpent in
communion with God, and in doing good.”
MEDLEY—No. 196.
A caution to the Avaricious.
When Soladin the Great, Emperor of the
Turks, was dying he commanded that no fo
lemmty Ihould be used at his funeral; but that
his shirt, in the manner of an ensign, made faft
to the point of a lance, fbould be carried before
his dead body, a plain Pried going before and
crying thus aloud to the people: " Soladin,
Censor of the East, of all the greatness and
riches he had in this life, carrieth with him after
his death nothing more than his ihirt to the
grave."•
Remark.—Praise undeserved, is satire in dis
guise. 0
Lord Chancellor Hatton, during a cause, in
which the boundaries of a piece of land were
to be afeertained, the cou'nfel of the firft
party Bated,—" We lie on this fide, my Lord;"
that of the other, " And we lie on this fide."
The Chancellor, rising up, said," If you lie
on both sides, whom will ye have me believe ?''

Upon the late Dr. Jobnfop'a return from a tour
to Scotland,a lady, at whefe house he called, got
ready what is called a hotch-potch for dinner.
After the Dcdor had rafted it, die took an op
portunity of asking if it was good ? “ Very good
—for bogs," answered the debtor—"then pray,"
said the lady, "let me help you to a little more."
