ARHAPSODYonRUM.
GREAT {pirit, hail ! confufion’s angry fire,
; And like thy parent Bacchus born of fire ; |
The jail’s decoy, the greedy merchant’s lure, j
«Disease of money, but refle@ion’s cure.
We owe, great dram ! the trembling hand to thee,
The headstrong purpose, and the feeble knee ; |
The loss of honour, and the cause of wréng, |
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 piginy corn 3
Thou throw’#t a mist before the farmer’s eyes,
The plough grows idle, and the harvest dies.
. By thee reftefh’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 sky ¢
Like those that did in ancient times repent,
We fit in aflies, and our clothes are rent,
From thee a thousand flattering whims escape, .
Like hasty births, that ne’er have perfet shape,
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 should part ;
. Ever abscond, or ever tend our call,
Leave us our sense entire, or none atall, :
