OLD SIMON.
Tune—ln a Mouldering Cave.
IN his crazy arm chair, on the downhill of life,
Old Simon fat calm and resign'd; . f
He had outlin'd his friends, de had buried hisuf,
Old Simon was lame, deaf, and blind.
But the Being of Love, whofill tempers the blafl,
With devotion had Jweeten' d his hd
Her gay Jmiles, o'er his wrinkles, cunte '
And char'd him, though lame, deaf and blind.
His misfortunes, his woes,could you hear him relate,
Infixing they all were defied
To reclaim him from ill, or Jome bfs to create,
You'd long to be lame, deaf and baud.
VCTien I learn, fays Old Simon,that topics offate,
Inflame each political chief ? „
That they baek-bite, Jnarlflander, in noijy deba.e,
Old Simon's content to be deaf.
When faction, that temper,than thejerpent men efly,
To folly Eve's daughters inclin'd ;
When'with Jcarce a fig-leaf, they obtrude on the eye,
Old Simula's content to be blind.
When battle's fell trumpets Jo frequently Jound,
And blood marks our annals with fkame,
When abroad, war and murder, are raging around,
At home, I'm content to be lame.
