INCP.ATUM ODI.
PRINCE ufibe dark abodes I I ween
YeurHigbnefs ne'er till now hath seen
Yonfaf in metre thine ;
WT^§,fa with praise sin cere,
Sweet watered on your smutty ear,
Before this @e of mine.
P7hip3 theVerfon is too pWn—'
Thou tried tb'ftarve the tuneful train.
Ofpntcnt verse afraid :
A n d yctDnqwimall my time ' ''
I've not bkbeld a finite rhim4
That' ever fpoii'd thy trade. %?p
IMI KM 4 ^ ^»fl^Md
There's npt a fbhop black in the land.
So humH^Mlhe world's command,
AstSy old cloven foot:
IJke.lQjnirg thou fly when call'd,
And, W fcjyrk packet's to maul'§t%
As thou,o Prince of Soot I''
What thoaGhds hourly bent oh fin,
Mhth Implications cA ! hhee in,
To ard them to pursue it —
Yet Wherdetrfled, with a lie ^•
RtfeM &ir fingers ends, they erv,
; "The Peyil made m, do it.” -
B;h(,d;& fortunes that are made
By, mg^'t'orp' enguffh tricks in, trade;
Yet all to inee are owing—,
And 'too, frt meet it every day, ’'
The freaking rascals chre not fay;
This is the Devil's doihg,'
A§ tothyxompany,Pm sure
No man can Thuntfrec oh that score ;'
• The very btQ is Urine :
Wnb kings, queens, minivers of ftatc,
Lords,ladies, 4have fern there great,
And many a grave divide,
I'm sorely griev'd at times to find,
The very infant thou are kind,
Some people so uncivil—
When aught offends, with face awry
And bale ingratitude they cry,
"°T with it to the Devil."
Hath some poor blockhead got a wife,
To be the torment of his life, :• t
By one eternal yell—
The fellow cries out coarsely, " Zounds !
" I'd give this moment twenty pounds
" To fee the jade in hell."
Should heav'n that prayer so ardent grant,
Thou never company wouldst want
To make thee downright mad ;
For, mind rte, in their wiring mood,
They never offer thee what's good,
But every thing that's bad.
BluGing 1 own thy pleating art
Hath oft feduc'd my vagrant hart.
And led my steps to joy—
The charms of beauty have been mine,
And let me call the merit thine,
Who breught'fl the lovely toy.
No, Satan —if I ^ thyaid,
To give my arms the blooming maid,
I will not, thro' the nation all,
Proclaim thee (like a grarelefs imp )
A vile old good for nothing imp,
; But fay; " tis thy vocation, Hal."
Since truth mufi out —I seldom knew
What' twas high pleasure to purfae,
Till thou hadst won my heart— ,
So social were we both together,
And beat ,the hoof in ev'ry weather,
I never wifb'd to part.
Yet when a child—good Lord I I thought
That thou a pair of horns hadU got,
With eyes like fencers flaring 1
And then a pair of ears so flout,
A monstrous tail and hairy snout,
With claws beyond comparing.
Taught to avoid the ways of evil.
By day I used to dread the Devil,
And trembling, when 'twas night,
Methought I saw thy haras afid Cats,
Then fang and whirled to my fears,
And ran to chafe my fright.
p ~ ^^^ ^^ F ,
And ev'ry night I went to bed,
Sweated with a constant dread,
And crept beueath the rug ;
There, panting, thought that in my ffeep
Thou fitly in the dark wouldst creep,
And eat me, tho' so snug. •|
O Satan, whatsoever geer 4 ,"
Thy Proteus form ffial l choose to wear,
Black, red, or yellow ;
Whatever hypocrites ma, G^ .^mt|
They think thee (trust my honefl lay)
A most bewitching fellow.

Mtf. PRINTERS,
IF you know a man who has
talent equal to the most se
vere understanding, you will do
the public a real service by en
gaging him in your favor to
write sarcastically against a
number of public evils that cxift
in your vicinity. The traveller
while wandering alongthe fer
tile banks of Connecticut river,
feels every sense most agreeably
regaled by the surrounding
feenety. * But what a woful
change when he enters taverns
—the'good landlady ordershim
to feed his own horse, and take
a fe& in a bar room ttyt would
tarnish the apparel of a jack tar
-|y s burner fat in the fame
place without a tingle attendant,
forbids the approach of hunger
itfeif, Ifabcd is called for—
two or three hired men rest on
each fide; and he must wage a
furious battle with miriads of
bugs, or be half eat up before
morning—the landlady orders
him t'o the pump tp wafli and"
if he has not forgot his pocket
bandkerchief ne may wipe the
drops from his face—rum that
won't provoke a flame; and wine
whole thickness will support a
flick upright, are among the
futyteft of the evils—and he
must think himfclf very lucky
if he goes off without being
called a troublesome fellow by
the landlady, and being insulted
by the landlord.
P. S. • Those who in future
propose traveling on Connecti
cut river, are ad vi fed never to
proceed without a fowlingpiece,
and to kill every blue jay and
woodecker that comes" within
gunshot, if they would avoid
the pain of starvation.
