ASK'ST,hou 'f how long my love
j (hall flay, ^, t
When all„that's pew ij past ?"
How long b^Ah ! Delia; can I fay,
How long my life will last ?
Dry bethat tear—be hufh'd that sigh ;
At least i'll love thee till I die !
And does that thought affe& thee too.
The thought of Damon's death 1
That he who only lives for you,
Mast yield his faithful breath ! .'
Hufh'd be that sigh, be dry that,tear !
Nor let us lose our heaven here !
THINK ST thou, my Damon, I'd
forego
This tender luxury of woe,
Which better than the tongue imparts
The feelings of impaffion'd hearts ?
Bleft, if my sighs and tears but prove
The winds and waves that waft to love,
If.
Can true affection cease to fear ?
Poor is the joy not worth a tear !
Did passion ever know content ?
How weak the rapture words can paint .
Then let my sighs and tears but prove
The winds and waves that waft to love.
And charms with sighs the Queen of
Flowers !
Then let my sighs and tears but prove
The winds and waves that waft to love.

]V[R. THOMAS of Wor
cester, Massachusetts, most re
fpeftfuily informs the Publick, that he
has this day completed the Old and New
Testaments of his Roval Quarto Editi
on of the HOLY BIBLE. The Apoc
rypha and Index, &c. will be finished
.with all the difpach the nature of the
Work will admit.
Such Gentlemen as hold SUBSCRIP
TION PAPERS, he begs will return
them to him at Worcester, or to
him and Company at Boston, by the
last day of November next and as much
sooner as they conveniently can.
He is happy to inform the pubirck,
that the work has been examined by
many gentlemen, clergymen and others,
and has met with their highest appro
bation ; both as to the execution of the
printing, its correftnefs, and its cheap
ness compared with Eenglilh copies of
the fame size and quality.
As this very laborious and exceed
ingly expensive undertaking is carried
on solely at his own cost, he is led to
hope that all those who wish to poftfi a
large Family Bible, will so far encou
rage this laudable undertaking of their
countryman, as to add their names to
the fubfeription.^

societies and private gentlemen, as wish
to supply their pulpits or families with
an elegant edition of the sacred scrip-,

will be given him by a liberal fubfcrip

NOTHING need be said on the part
of the publisher to convince a difeeming
publick that this is an undertaking, in
this country, of vast importance ; that
the labour and dxpenfe are exceeding
great; ot that the undertaking, if well
executed, merits encouragement : He
begs leave only to observe, that he is
now carrying on this undertaking
folel, at his own rift and expense.
The grated care has been taken to have
the work correQ, and every way execu
ted so as not to difgrace,but to do some
credit to our country.—The magnitude
of the work exceeds any thing of the
kind attempted in America ; the letter
press will, he thinks, not be inferiour to
any that has been done in the United
States ; and the plates much fuperiour
to any heretofore done by our own coun
trymen, and would not disgrace more
experienced British artists.

publilhed in two volumes, in boards.

of each volume.
N. B. Works of tAis kind are not fit
for Whole Binding under several months
after they are printed, as the plates and
the letter piefs are both liable to injury
by the hammer and press of the binder.
This is the reason of their being publish

may be read and handled without inju
