Poetical Repository.
WRITTEN in a PRISON.
HERE pines the wretch to each fine feeling
dead,
Hi, bread with ev'ry pnffion torn,
'On his hard couth belays his heavy head,
Unmourt/d, unpitied, and forlorn.
The tun beams cast a melancholy ray ;
The grates admit but little air ;,
The gloomy light just ihevs the wretched prey,
Os hope deferr'd and wild despair.
ON GREATNESS.
, THERE are in the human race two sets of
men who particularly draw upon them the
eyes of the feufiblc part of the creation. The
former are those who aim to aspire at Greatness
by industry and a common course of good con
dud ; and the latter, those who (being unhap
pily mistaken) think that if they cut a gay and
splendid figure in life, they will undoubtedly
be thought great folks, and receive that rtfpea
which real merit claims. But how distant are
these ideas from the true character of a great
man, who finds that pomp (which is too apt to
disguise him) a teal burthen ; and fearing to be
overlooked among the vices which naturally ac
company fplcndor an I luxury, flees from the bo
som of abundance to the virtuous retirement of
mediocrity. In this retreat, his chief pleasure
is to form a truly deserving heart, and to ac
quire approbation, not by words only, but by
works. Happy if he can conceal the good he
does and be the unknown author of public feli
city. Never can anger ruffle the serenity of his
countenance; never can pride give him her fu
percilions air ; convinced of the vanities of this
i world, he regards not its frowns, but fixes his
hopes in eternity, and Frengthens them by his
actions. On the contrary, men whose idle am
bitions are chiefly bounded within the limits of
this world, and whose falfe notions have led
them from tire right road to greatness, squander
their money and their time in endeavoring to
gain it by gratifying all the votaries of pleasure,
and fatisfying all the desires of depraved incli
nations. In pursuing this course, they must in-

The MEDLEY.—No. 130.
AN honest tar hired a herfe to carry him X
few miles, hut before he had gone many
yards, he found he pofTeffed the usual excellen
cies of the unfortunate four footed hirelings of
the road, such as blindness, lamcncfs, ft umbling.
&c. &c. The sailor however (having been un
shipped twice with very little ceremony, in the
course of half a mile, by the creature's falling on
its knees) hit upon a very whiruficul mode cf
curing the impediment, which was by tying a
large store to the tail, and in that Rate rode him
several iriles, Treating, “ shiver his timbers, but
it was the only thing to prevent the ships going
too much ahead."
THE Rev Mr. ,a man of considera
ble humor accompanied with great formality of
manners, in a convivial party, where the late
lord Kelly fat at the bead of the table, was asked
to sing, but would not comply with the press
ing felicitation of the company. At last lord
Kelly said, he must either sing a song, tell a Hory,
or drink a pint bumper. Mr. , being
an abstemious man, rather chose to tell a story
than to pay the forfeit. “ One day,' 'faid he, in
his pompous manner, " a gentleman, by profcf
fion a thief, in the course of his round, saw 3
church door invitingly open; he walked in,
thinking that even there he might find some
thing ufcful ; having secured the pulpit cloth,
he was retreating, when 10, he found the door
shut. He took the only means left for his es
cape ; he let himfelf down by the bell rope ; —
the bell of course rang, the people we-c alarmed
and the thief caught. As they were dragging
him away, he looked up,emphatically addressing
the bell, as I now address your lordship, “ had
it not been, said he, for your long tongue and
empty head,! had made niv escape."
