YOU wrong yourfelf, and fellow
nymph, to mourn
A fetihlefs swain, that never will re
turn $
E'en let him wed Norval's adopted
heir.
While you your love to Lycidas iranf

While yourfor faithleft Damon ffgh and
grieve,
Young Lyuda, for you would only
live;.
The nymphs and Twains will all your
choice approve,
For Lytidas has every ihepherd'a love.
Nor couldlVbrrufaboaft a fairer face.
When he Survey'd him in the watery
glass ;
His constant love no fickle change
should know,
Blit left 'till yonder waters cease to
Aow.

qpHE Honorable General
A Court, by a Resolution passed '
thf 30th of December 1791, having
(among other things) Ordered—
" That the expediency of issuing
Extents for the Out Handing Taxes
be left diferetionzry with the Trea
surer, any former order of the Gene
ral Court to the contrary na;wiih-
Handing : Excepting only that this
Resolve fhal lnot affect or alter the
force of any Vote or Resolve for flay
ing Extents in particular Cases."
The Treafarer thinks it
his duty to call on all Collectors, and
on the Selectmen where Collectors
have not been returned agreeably to
Law, to make payment of the fume
due from them refpeCtivelv. It ap
pears by the returns, lately made by
Selectmen, that large sums have been
collected from the people, which sums
are not paid into the Treafurf; some
towns have paid all the Taxes requir
ed of them ; others owe 'fmall fems,
while some others are much in arrears.
The General Court at their late ses
sion have made some orders tb facili
tate the payment of the Taxetfue i,
paper ; There Has not been any Rate
Tax required for the last, or parent ~
year, and it is the opinion of the
Treasurer, that the True Interest oT
the good people of this Scare will be
promoted 'by a speedy collection of all
cutfendirig Taxes ; Therefore he re
quests that all concerned would pay
immediate and particular attention to
this notice ; pay the funis due freq
them refpeaively, and thereby five
him the trouble and themfeive; the
expence of Extents.
