A GENTLEMAN of a bandfeme
fortune, enjoying every pleasure
which ease and affluence could afford,
by compairing his situation in life
with that of his acquaintance, suppo
sed that he was too happy. Being in,-
pressed with an idea that all mankind
must enjoy an equal proportion of hap
piness, he thought, of course, that he
should come short of the rest and hap
piness of the faints in heaven; to pre
vent this, he was determined to croft
himfelf, and to doit the more effec
tually, his imagination naturally
suggested that of marrying a *%
turbulent, folding w/r— whom he
readily obtained, without the painful
meanders of a formal courtship. Af
ter the celebration of the nuptial rite,
the lads being told of the gentleman s
views in making her the partner of
his bofam, that She was designed for a
tormentor, & not for a comforter, she
Was at &loss &M, to do; but at last
✓">OME,lovely mufc,attune my lay,
To hail reviving Spring;
The face of nature now looks gay.
And linnets foftly sing.
The silver floods, mead'ring flow,
Along their painted banks, [gro^;
Th' enamcll'd meads with verdure
And lambs enjoy their ptanks. -
The evening's calm, serene and Rill,
And Luna gives her light;
The murm'ring ft ream & purling rill,
Afford fopreme delight.
Such feeaes as these my muse shall sing,
For they inspire the mind ;
What joys can equal those of Spring,
When lovely Emma's kind.
FLORIO.
The fan from ealtern fk : 'es comes forth,
Dispels the mighty gloom,
Calmsthe fierce biuft'ringsef the north
And earth her smiles assumes.
Its genial warmth it spreads around,
With unremitting ray;
While larks&blackbirds fweetl, found
And greet the new born day.
TIME is ever on the wing,
.Is it not a fleeting thing ?
But a Rep that mortals have,
From the cradle to the grave.
SEAT of the MUSES.'
Winter now is pafs'd and gone,
Spring succeeds and follows on:
Dv by day we're passing o'er,
Time which ne'er returns no more.
Narrow dreams,bow fwift the, glide,
Swelling to a boundless tide.
Rising feeing to rivers strays,
Rivers rife and swell to seas.
Moments, little things appears,
Soon they fvell to days and years,
As word by word soon fills a page,
So years by years soon make an age;
Man in Spring is seen to rife, &
Struting round with butterflies,
Rip'ning Summer comes at length,
With it gives him age and firength.
Autumn's froft soon chills hie bloody
Stops the circulating flood,
Winter comes he quits his form,
Turns to deft, and feeds a worm.
ON the approach of SPRING.
