In COMMITTEE for the diftrid of Cow
neck, Great-neek, in Queen's county, held at

WHEREAS lirael Rogers, one of the
disarmed in this Wilfrid, being since
charged with counteracting the measures car

A POEM TO A FRIEND,
On his Marriage.
AD AM when form'd by heav'n,was plac'd
In Eden's happy grove, .';
A Icene by nature richly grac'd
With every joy but love.:
He wander'd< >und in pensive mood,•
Nur could suppress his moan ;
And heav'n pronounc'd it was not good
For man to be alone.
A mate was - given, divinely fair,
To fill his vacant arms;
Surpriz'd he gaz'd, and loon drew near
Attracted by her charms.
Her conversation more endears
As tide by fide they rove,
Each day some new-born grace appears,
Each day confit ms his love.
Eden he deems no more as waste,
Each shrub now breathes perfume,
The fruits produce a richer taste,
The flowers a fairer bloom.
Sweet thrill the fongflers of the grove,
Moe balmy zephyrs play ;
The rills in fofter murmers rove,
All '.'cfs the bridal day.
Hail honour'd wedlock ! sacred rite!
The crown er lift is thine;
The fountain thou of chaste delight,
To Adam's virtuous line.
Defpis'd by none but sordid fouls,
Tile fop and debauchee ;
Who reason drown in midnight bowls,
Are wicked to be free.
Detesting those, my wiser friend,
Thou aim'll at nobler bliss,
In one lov'd fair thy wishes end,
And truth endears the kiss.
May you all heav'nly buffings share,
With each terreftriai good ;
Be happy as the firft form'd pair,
While innocent they flood.
While every look content exprefs'd
No place for wiffies found;
While ,earth Spontaneous gave the feaft
And heav'n the banquet crown'd.
