THOUGHTS 07 HARD DRINKING,
WHEN man to drinking bends his
mind,
And fucks away without controul,
T'o jovial company’s inclin’d,
Charm’d with the pleasures of the
bowl ;
Soon shall his senses and estate, ‘
Like April snow drifts waste away, |
Wor shall the sot’s distressing fate, ‘
Occasion wonder for a day.
Yet do we not too often fee,
Men form’d by nature brave, or wife,
Reduc’d to want and misery,
Till fools their company despise :
Ledz’d in a loathsome gaol at last,
Their utmost farthing goesfor charge;
Friends, senses, fortune, failing faft,
Leaves him a vagabond at large.
But when the loathsome custom gains
Afcendance in the female breatft,
How great her friends & husband’s pain,
How small their comfort or their rest.
Beware ye beauteous nymphs, beware !
Your fame, your virtue, all depends !
When drink your senses shall impair,
Farewell to chastity and friends !
ENGLISH ARTICLES.
N the year 1712, Mr Whifton, hav-
I ing calculated the return of a comet,
which was tomake its firft appearance
on Wednesday the 14th of Oétober, at
five minutes after five in the morning,
gave notice to the public accordingly,
with this terrifying addition, that a to
tal dissolution of the world by fire was
to take place on Friday following.
The reputation Mr. Whifton had long
maintained in England,both as a divine
and a philosopher, left little or no doubt
with the populace of the truth of his
predi&tion, Several ludicrous events
now took place. A number of persons
in and about London, seized all the bar
ges and boats they could lay hands on
in the Thames, very rationally con
cluding, that when the conflagration
took place, there would be the most
fafety on the water. A gentleman who
had neglected family prayers for better
than five years, informed his wife that it
was his detérmination to resume that
Jaudable pra&ice the fame evening ; but
his wife having engaged a ball at her
house, persuaded her husband to put it
off till they saw whether the comet ap
peared or not.—The South-sea stock
immediately fell to five per cent. and
the East-India to eleven ; and the cap
tain of a Dutch thip threw all his pow
der into the river, that the fthip might
not be endangered.
The next morning, however, the co
met appeared according to the predic
tion, and before noon the belief became
universal that the day of judgment was
at hand.~~About this time 123 clergy
men were ferryed over to Lambeth, it
was said, to petition that a thort prayer
might be penned and ordered, there be
ing none in the church service on that
occasion, Threemaids of honor burnt
their colle@ion of novels and plays, and
sent to the bookseller’s to buy thema
Bible and Bithop Taylor’s Holy Living
and Dying. The run upon the Bank
was so prodigious, that all hands were
employed from morning till night in
discounting notes and handing out spe
cie.—On Thursday considerably more
than 7000 kept 'miftrefles were legally
married in the face of several congrega
tions, and to crown the whole farce,
Sir Gilbert Hathcote, at that time be-
Ing Direétor of the Bank, issued orders
to all the fire officers in London, re
quiring them to keep a good look out,
and have a particular eye upon the
Bank of England.
