A kHAPSODYonkuM.
GREAT spirit, bail ! confufion's angry fire,
And like thy parent Bacchus born of fire;
The jail^s decoy, the greedy merchant's lure,
Disease of money, but reflexion's cure.
We owe, great dram ! the trembling hand to thee,
The headstrong purpose, and the feeble knee;
The fofs of honour, and the cause of wrong,
The brain enchanted, and the faultering tongue ;
Whilst fancy flies before thee unconfin'd, .
Thou leav'ft disabled prudence far behind.
In thy pursuit our fields are left forlorn,
Whilst giant weeds oppress the pigmy corn ;
Thou throw'ft a mist before the farmer's eyes,
The plough grows idle, and the harvest dies.
By thee refresh'd no cruel norths we fear,
'Tis ever warm and calm when thou art near ;
On the bare earth for thee expos'd we lie,
And brave the malice of a frowning Iky 1
Like those that did in ancient times repent.
We fit in affies, and our clothes are rent.
From thee a thousand flattering whims escape,
Like hasty births, that ne'er have perfect ihape, ,
Thine ideots seem in gay delusion fair,
But born in flames they soon expire in air.
O grand deluder ! such thy charming art,
'Twere good we ne'er should meet, or ne'er ffiouldp^rt ;
Ever abfeond, or ever tend our call,
Leave us out sense entire, or none at all#
