_ ON PLEASURE.
WITH & m voice,audfawify luring io%w,
(1 lands of yore iu verje ifoortaljung)
Stft Picafure draws ; her gilded baits prepares,
And for th' unwary breads her Jilken snares :
4be giddy youth too oftfa makes her prize ;
% her curft wiles a baphfsfacrifa;
Too oft, alas f her fell untimely hlaf,
flips the new bad, and lays its beauties wafle.
The baplefs eapti„, brought beneath her chain,'
With anguish,figbs, andfoul diftreffiing pain,
Laments in vain the idly wafted hour,
And time misspent, no longer in his p&w'r.—
When fortune /miles, and o'er thejoyful land,
Her gifts difpenfa with unfpafyg hand;
When rest health upon the cbe,k appears,
Andtbe bright face jo,'sfaUing a/ptR wears,;
Too oft from Prudence, perfed guide, woeftfay,
And blindly follow Pleasure's luring way,
Her flow'ry paths with fad dolufion run,
Embracing fondly what we ought tofan:
So sweetly bright each opening profpea fams.
So rapt our mind with vain illufae dreams.
We onward rujb, and ardently pursue,
Each foil, as it rises to the view.—
This Junjhine fled, far other feene, arts,
And horrid pro/pedsfrike our wondering eyes :
Amag way our wan'dring ftps deceives,
And the fad hreaf of each fond hope bereaves —
Each verdant Jhrub that deck'd the former way.
Each purple flow'r that bloom'dfo fweetl, gay.
Beneath their leaves a prickry thorn contain,
And flourish'd but to prove afource of pain, —
But sadly left, in vain we feck return.
Our baplefs lot in idle anguijb mourn,
Unless repentance break upon the mind,
Great gift of Heav'd to mortals ever kindJ—
Ob then ye youth, of Pleasure's charges beware.
And Jbun With industry her fatal snare ;
Let not her Shining jpecidus art delude ;
Alading evil) vifanary good !
To her fwtet voice disdain to lend meter.
Scorn all her smiles, and turn from what ye bear ;
Let sacred Prudence over beyour guide,
Walk in her light, no aid you need beside;
Nor like Alcides, ev'r, labour pas,
Difgraceful yield to Pleasure's sway at lafl. J.

HILARITY.
This produced farther Debates, and

apparent Tendency to oblige Congress

Madfa, Mercer/Baldwin, Giles, and
fcveral others supported it, These
Gentlemen delivered their Sentiments
in favour of the Equity and Juftiee of
the Officers^ Claims, to at least a Pro
portion of the savings made to the U

Measure impracticable. The Debate
