In a season of great drought, h

his pupils marched out of Shirauz in

"My friend," said the humourift, " if
that Was the case, I fear there would

Henry the fourth of France, was dig

that the fatisfa&ion to be derived from
revenge, was momentary; but that

ADDRESSED to the fair daughters
of COLUMBIA.
Would you fair virtue's hcav'nly path pursue,
And With your knowledge, gain blcil wisdom
too?
Attend the words of LEMUEL the king,
And quaff divine inftruttion from the Spring.
Be fobcr, just, and temp'rate in your prime,
Nor wafte,in dissipation, precious time !'
Left eager third for pleasure you cnflavc,
Pervert your judgment, and your heart deprave.
To tender pity ever be inclin'd,
And let the pcor, in you, a patron find.
To want and rais'ry lend a willing ear,
And soothe distress, and dry the orphan's tear,
By deeds of clarity ensure applause,
And plead with eloquence the widow's cause,
Pursuits far diff rent, win the female mind,
For ah, a virtuous woman, who can find ?
She boasts unrival'd excellence On earth,
And mines of rubies ard beneath her w6rth.
In virtue luch as hers, her husband's heart
Will trust—nor from its confidence depart.
She'll do him good, not evil; all his days,
His happiuefs enhance ten thousand ways.>
Her unremitting labors never cease,
She winds the silken flax, arid twills the snowy
fleece.
And like the merchant-flips that distant roam,
Seeks food of other climates, and brings home-
Ere yet 'cis light, she rifeth to prepare
Meat for her household, and prevent their tare.
T' ensure a permanent inheritance,
A field she buyeth, and a vineyard plants.
To healthful exercise accuftom'd long,
Her loins arc girded, and her arms are strong.
In traffic, nought deceives her judging fight ;
Her lamp refulgent goes not out by night.
She holds the diftaff with her graceful hand,
And the fwift spindle flies at her command.
To poverty her lib'ral hands impart,
And want & famine praise her bounteous heatt.
She is not of the wintry snows afraid,
For all her household are in scarlet clad.
Her robes of richest tapeftty, the makes,
And silk and purple, for her vestment takes.
Her husband, in the gates is known & prais'd.
Above the nobles eminently rais'd.
Fine linen by her fkilful hands is wrought,
And curious girdles, by the merchant bought.
Her robes are strength & honor, and her name
Shall (hint unrival'd in the rolls of fame.
Her mouth in wisdom opens, and her tongue
Is with sweet kindness, and persuasion hung.
Still to her household with unwearied paint
She looks, and bread of idleness diflains.
Her husband, children, Weary heav'n to Ihed
Perpetual blcffings on her honor'd head.
Tho' many daughters have before done well,
Yet this, in vißTue/does them all excel.
