Anil once more abdicated Reason reigns.
Can th®/ &ort joys relating from the Board,
Which rude impertinence delights to spread,
Can thele compensate for the ills to come,
The ftck weak stomach, and the aching head ?
What was the mirth of the preceding night ?—
Perhaps admidfl the fullnefs of my joys
I glmy’d shameless in the jell obscene,
Or to the wanton fdnnet rais’d my voice.
Perhaps I forg’d the libel on my friend,
An clbiCßt friend- -fO rnifery to fay !)
Yet what a contrail will not Bacchus form !
Or what is man when reason is away !
Oh ! temperance, thou (Un to beauty’s bud !
Parent of health, and foe to dark difeale I
Thou cheapeil physic to the ftckly frame!
For all may buy thy manna, whet) they please.
Come- fpotleis maid, and teach me how to think :
The brain will team by thy prolific ray.
By thee supported memory grows flrong,
Nor fears the horrors of a flow decay.
Let us with pity view the human bark,
(Securely moor’d upon contentment’s fh*re)
Tols’d by th e waves of a luxurious sea,
’Till down fi.e finks, alas! to rife no more.

Attempted from the German of
Mv. K LOPSTOCK,
y O thole who are acquainted with
the merits of this work, little need be said tii
becommend it.-' It is calculated to inspire every
pious, every virtuous fentiment:—to fill the mind
with an awful revei ence and love of the Great and
ncomprehenfible GOD and .FATHER of all ;
with the fubhtneft and most fervent gratitude to
our gracious REDEEMER, and a perfcfl detesta
tion and abhorrence of all vice. In a word, it
claims the patronage of all who do not blufii at
owning themfclves Christians, and at paying a bum
ble obedience to the King of Kings.
This piece of religious and moral painting has
obtained Mr. Klopftock the honor of being efieem
ed the Milton of Germany, and is considered as
having compleated what that favorite son of the
Britiftimufe had left unfinifhed.— The beauties of
the Messiah equal P.aradife Loft Paradise Re
gained, though far from being destitute of ment
is universally allowed to fall much below this work,
and is acknowledged to be deficient in that no;
bounded invention, that beautiful machinery, and
variety of charaCters, which diflmgmfn the rigorous
efforts of Mr. Klopftock’s genius.
The Messiah is formed upon an extensive and
important pian, and includes the fufferings, deaths
and refurreClion of Christ-
