PARNASSIAN FIELD.
Thefollowing roer, Beautiful LINES ar, e,red from iL
') ccUbraud 'new w&rA, entitled, " The Looker Om"
WINTER.
STERN Winter, though thy rugged reign
Chills the pale bdfom of the plain, : r
And in deep figtis thy hollpw blast,
Tells me the happy hours are past
That saw meek Spring her bloflbms rear,
And lead along the infant year ;
Thy thick'ning glooms, and leaflefs tree,.
Have charms for Emma, and for me.
And tho' the light wing'd breeze no more
Wafts the rich fleets of summer's store,
Though Autumn's feene no more beguiles,
My cct is warm, and Emma failles.
Then, Winter, come ! thy storms and rain
Beat on this happy roofin vain ;
The shivering blast and leaflefs tree,,,
Have charms for Emma, and for me.
, Then what avail thy wind and storm,
That nature's withering face deform, .I
- If fancy's brisk and sportive lay,
Awake to pleasure's willing sway ; ..
If the quick jest and lively long
Bid the flow night move blith along !
For then thy glooms and leaflefs tree,
Have charms for EM ma , and for me.\
Thus, when the bloom of youth is dead,
And, fancy's frolic hours are fled,
Tranquil and free from passion's rage,
rUmcet the hoary froftofage,
Then, Winter, come, these blessings bring,
I sigh not for the gaudy Spring :
= So Bull thy glooms and lesflefs tree,
Havecharms for Emma, and for me.
VERSES to a Young Lady.
MIRA ! from me, tho' now a love sick youth,
Nay, tho' a Poet, hear the voice of Truth. ^
- -ft —MI&X I you are 30 Law,, yet you're pretty ;
So grave, yet gay so felly, yet so witty ;
You aim at fonnefs— would bovo tongue of satire ;
Look this way cruel—that way squint good nature :
Now you are open—now referv'd awhile, ;
Now a forc'd frown betrays a willing finite. .
Reproach'd for absence, yet your fight deny'd
My tongue you silence, yet my silence chide.
Now your mouth opens—now /wm nofafc rolls,
And ev'ry spark of candid patience cools:
'Gainft fepfe and decency each moment strive
To keep attention and refpe& alive.
You flutter here, there flurry, on the wing
^) To talk, to teaze, to simper, or to sing ;
To prude it, to coquette it— him to trust
Whole vain loose lite should caution, or disgust;
Him to dislike whose modest worth should please ;
Say is your piaure shown in tints like these?

company how foe came to take it into bit
head to enter into the minifty of the church ?
Because, said he, the Lord had need of me.
That may be, replied a gentleman present,
for I often lave read that the Lord once bad
need of an ASS. °

A PORTRAIT of MANKIND.
BY STERNE.
VANITY bids all her, font to be gener
ous and brave,—and her daughters
to be chaste and courteous. But why do we
want her inftrudioDi ?—Afk the comme
dian, who is taught a part he feels not.
Is it that the principles of religion want
ftreogth, or that the real passion for what
is good and worthy will not carry us high
enough ?—God ! thou knoweft they carry
ui too high : we want not to be, but to
fam-'
<Look out of your door— take notice of
that maa: fee what difquietiog, intriguing
and fhiftibg he is content to go through,
merely to be thought a man of plain deal-:
iog : three' grains of honefly would fave|
him all thia trouble— alas I be has them j
not.
Behold a second, under a shew of piety
hiding the impurities of a debauched life ; |
—he is just entering the hcufe of God !
would he were more pure, or left pious !—
but then he could not gain hii poinr.'
Observe a third, going almost in the fame
track : with what an inflexible faulty of
deportment be futtains himfelf as he advanc
es !—every line in his face writes abstinence
—every stride looks like a check upon his,
desires : fee, I beseech you, how he is
cloaked up with Lafons, prayers and sacra
ments; and so bemuffied with the externals
of religion, that he has not a hand to (pare
for a worldly purpose ; he has armour at
ieaft—Why does he put it on ?Is there no
serving God without all this ? Must the
garb of religion be extended so wide, to the
danger of its rending ?— Yes, truly, or it
would not hide the secret §— arid what is
that ?— That the faint has no religion at all.
But here comes Generosity : giving not
to adecayed artist, but to the arts and sci
ences themselves.—See, he buitib not a cham
ber in the wall apart for the prophets ; but
whole schools and colleges for those who
come after. Lord I how they will magnify
his name !—'(ls in capitals already ; the
firft, the highest in the gilded rentroll of
every hofpitaf and asylum.——One honest
tear, ihed in private over the uofortunatty
is worth it all.
What a problematic set of creatures does
simulation make us! Who could divine that
all the anxiety and concern so visible in the
sirs of one half of that great assembly,
should arise from nothing else but that the
other half of it may think them to be meb
of confeqyence, penetration, parts and con
dud ?—Wh#t a noise amongst the claim
ants about it I— Behold humility out of
mere pride—and honesty almost out of
knavery :—chaftity, never once in harm's
way-and courage, likeM Spanish soldier
upon an Italian Rage, a bladder full of wind.
- — Hatk, that ! the found of that
trumpet—let not my foldier.run—'tis only
some good Chriflian giving alms. O Pity,
thou gentlest of human so 1 ~d
tender are thy notes, and ill accord they
with so loud an instrument.
