O D E,
ON THE- FIVE SENSES.
^ WHEN the cat squalls,
- Arid the child balls,
And the (hovel falls.
Bang, on the hearth, flap bang ;
Millie to harmonious,
Melodious arid fymptonious, i
Will jar every bone of psl
With a most confounded twang.
Ik,
Ifin afmoky boufe l.be,
Arid an empty pprfe I fee,
And children gaping wild at me
For something to eat,,
And if the flieriff at the door, , -
Lays traps for me because l ? m poor,
Q I would -declare ,and well 1 might,
The profpea bad for the eye-light.
When in an old deserted pantry,
To fill my hungry maw I'd fain try,
And mothing find but rusty bones,
And crusts for mouldy bread as hard as stones,
' And leather rinds of bacon,
_For want of drink,a parched lip, ~
And tongue as dry as any chip,
iThe taste mutt fuffer, or I'm much mistaken..
IV.
\Whene'er the fumes of favoury meat,
lAre smelt by those who cannot eat,
IBecaufe they cannot buy.
Aught e+fe but bits of ftlnking filh,
And offals vile to fill the diffi, '.
While dock-mud feents the. fragrant gale,
Nor does train-oil nor brimstone tail
' To raise their clouds on high ;"
While greasy beds invite repose,
- Phew! what a flavor greets the nose.
When birchen twig has play'd its part
Upon the school boy's back,
Qr rotten tooth does jump and flart,
And Dr. Lafl does cut and hack,
Add drags the corns out in a smack,•
We grunt, and groan, and fqueel;
But when the guardian of the bread.
For crimes and follies breaks our rest,
Oh! then, indeed, we feel.
SUUM.
Vhimfical Poetical Crafs-Readingt&
The candles purloined last Saturday night—
'Tis shrewdly conjeftur'd will all come to ligHt.
A good dose of salts and a gentle potation-.
To take out the Gains—in a foil'd reputation.
Return'd from their travels, to fee foreign parts—
, Fresh oysters and lobsters transported in carts.
Two hampers of porter, five calks of salt petre—
Set to music by Handel, in excellent metre.
My servant took with him, when be run away-
Ten acres of wood land, besides corn and hay. ..;
Fine fat and sleek cattle are seen in each Greet— ±
In climbing a wall, they loft all their feet.
Restorative Balsam, with Essence of Muflard—
May be had gratis—in exchange for good cultard.
To be let or fold, in a fine Situation—
My own dearest Jewel—with a loft reputation.
A fao,w Borm,,vitb thunder & lightnipg, Ilsfeld,
Fell down the chimney, and roll'd into bed.
Good rock and Turk's Island fak may be had —
To keep in his senses a mairwho's run mad; #
One morning a cabbage appear'd to my view—
Full three yards and a half—l think it was blue.
fa our paper of Tuefday, we laid in great haste—
A fire broke out which confum'd all our pallet
A pedlar game travelling by with his pack—
Containing ten white men, a faiiaw and a black.
,The speaker did fay, but not in his chair-
You dunces attend tothe chaplain at prayer.

Beware of Roving Preachers,
Who bring a scandal upon Religion by their
/ Conduct,..
Absconded from the Mason's Arms
Tavern, without paying his reckoning-—a
