AN honest Tradesman, not long since, went
to the Administrator on the Estate of a de
ceased Neighbour, exhibited his Accompt,
and demanded payment.—The Administrator
told him he could not pay his Accompt then,
as he had not, in his Possession, any Affts.*
The honest Creditor being somewhat hard of
hearing, and perhaps not so well understand
ing the Meaning of the Word Assets, replied.

THE MALIGNANT SMALL ^OXi
SLOW mingling with the crimen Flood of Life,
Behold thefabtle Tyrant urge bit Way;
Nor heedsbewealth, nor Beauty's potent Charms :
Like death, be ca^s the world at large bis prey,
Stretcht on a bed of more than common pain,
Where foil, ring auges chill, and fevers burn.
The reflefs, Offering, tortur'd viffims toys,
And doze, (3 fart, IS twitch,&lgroan,& turn.
_ ft length eruptive from bis latent cell,
Suddewbe/prings the Jurcharg'd, sanguine mine;
And to tbe do^or in derifon cries,
How vain, bow impotent, this fill of thine !
Ob ! what agbaftly fight presents to view !
Say, def thou ken one feature of that face,
Where nine daysfnee, the puref white and red.
Charm'd ev'r, eye With harmony,health, grace ?
Tbofe jparkling orbs that Ihot forth beams of da,,
Are fear'd together by corruption's,gal;
Thqfe lips;from Whence the foftef accents flow',,
No more tie thrill of bland aftaionfeel.
See, creeping onward, o'er the big favoln frame,
Malignant ulcers of carrtfve poWer ;
The livid purple and fep'ning black
Unite their force, andfap the vital tower.
Enough ! the dofingjcene tinmans my foul ;
'Tis agon,; 'lit energyof/ain :
Speak not th tortures of the dying bour ;
Tbeyfeorn the moss impaffion'd ardent flrain.
