S E A T Of THE MUSES.
The following Verfes on a young heir’s coming of
age are from Dr. Johnftcn.
JL-jONO expected one-and-rwentjr
L'n^’riri^ycar, ar length is flown;
Pride and pleafure, pomp and plenty,
Qrea[_-—--, are now your own.
Loofen’d from the minor's tether,
Free to mortgage or to fell,
Wild 33 wind, and light as feather,
Bid the lo.is of thrift farewell.
Call the B-tfies, TCates and Jennies,
All the names that baniih care ;
L ivilh off your graiidiire’s guineas,
whew the lpirit of an heir.
All that prey on vice or folly
Joy to f<-e their quarry fly :
There the game Iter light and jolly,
There the lender grave and fly.
Weakh, my lad, was m?de to wander,
L-c jt wander at; it will ;
Call the jockey, call the Pander,
Bid them come and take their nil.
When th- bonny blade caroofes,
Pockets full and fpirirs high—
What are acres > what are houfes ?
Only dirt or wet cr dry.
Should the guardian, friend or mother
Tell the woes of wiiful waite :
Scorn their counfel, fcorn their pother—
You can hang or drown at laic.
