But happier is thy flow'ry fate,
Far, far more bleft than mine ;
Where I had hop'd to fee my mate,
Toon lip'R in bid's with thine.

Which all our aims employ,
We gain at last with toifome pains,
For others to enjoy.
Sip, little thief, joy's neftar'd bowl---

If I'm unhappy, 'tis no rule,
That thou fhould'ft not be bleft.

A FEW WORDS
TO THE
BACKSLIDING FAIR.
In former days virtue adorn'd the Fair, as do the
fars adorn the Heavens.
ON the ftbjea before me, although disagreea
ble, it the is indifpenfible duty of some one to ad
dress you ; I regret it is my lot, but duty towards
the female race, tells me I ou<rht to check or per
suade you from the present amusement, which is
so much in vogue. Amusement did 1 fay ! if it
be (lull, debar yourselves from it, for, be assured,
it is at the expense of your virtue ; ere this you
ought, to have despised it. Paint to yourselves,
you who are the fair part of creation —I fay, paint
to yourselves, the despicable attitude —in which
you place yourselves, when you infringe the dig
nity, which is the ornament of your sex, by gad
ding from house to house, and there moleding the
inhabitants by knocking : Again and again, you
repeat the like insult : Why do you wish to dis
turb those, who after their daily-labor is over,
feat themselves, to enjoy their family and friends ?
—muff they be difhirbed ?—Ungrateful !—Not
them alone do you disturb ; but those who are
engaged in their evening employment, do not es
cape your unbecoming rudeness, or, in other
words, your ridiculous conduct ; even Grangers
are perfnaded you are of a looser kind, or chosen
few. Had I not been an eye witness to this mean
ness, as puffing at the fame time, 1 could not will
ingly have credited it tq the fair sex—and muff I,
to my displeasure, (but nurefifling duty,) fay it is
those who bear the name of Virtuous ! I '. —lt this
be a virtue, that dittinguifhes you from the mean
er part of your sex, let me tell you, it is but a
mean addition. You unite in the vanity of the
weak, and encourage the vice of the unblushing
flrumpet. Do you not blush, even at the idea ?
if you do not, you are insensible to reflection.—
What confbtut's a lady ? 'tis Modesty—is void of
that you are difgufling—what man can join a
circle with such characters, though they may wear
the smiles of innocence, without carrying on his
countenance the frown of indignation ?
A Kill blacker crime is your foible ; for your
protection you screen yourselves with the garment
of poverty ; such conduct is taking bread from
the poor, for with a downcast look, and the badge
of poverty, you vilit tone house, and request re
lief—before it is administered unto you, you be
tray yourselves, by disappearing. Should deity
difro'be you of your concealed grandeur, and give
you only the apparel in which you appear, would
not your vile levity dare you in the face ? and in
stead of a (mile that once adorned you, dejected
melancholy, would thorn your bread, and fend
you weeping to rhe gloomy cavern of death. As
a friend who would refpett you, let me conjure
you to turn from the tolly of your ways, and
tread the paths of Solomon ; —think not I would
have you lay aside all amusement ; —by no means ;
but would encourage you in all that will hereaf
ter, (when heads of families) allow you pleasing
lefle&ion, and such as you would not blush to in
culcate in the tender minds of your children. —
You were formed adequate to command refpeft
from mankind at large, if virtuous. I address
only tnofe who have been engaged in the like con
duct, and hope they will not again pursue it ; you
cannot, my fair friends, condemn me for repri
manding you ; it is for your own good. May I
not recommend to parents of children, to lay be
fore them the consequence of such fleps, such maf
tuliiie actions, which muff lead to the increase of
other vices, in their riper years, I cannot but
think, if rightly taught, they will fulfil the Ra
tion for which they were intended.
Parents how apt, their childrens' faults to pass,
Which proves injurious, and their profpe&s blast.
