SEAT OF THE MUSES.
The CANDIDATE'S CREED.
O POPULARITY ! precious m*me !
Whole high protection now 1 claim:
1 do b*lt*vc thou art Supreme !
Rath Dunce and fool thou can’lt redeem!
And t:<ke them from Oblivion's ch?i g» ,
And IbawMhern to the Work! at laigel
My Sear iti CopgfHs rhoo can’lt fix,
And crown each day with Dollars Six :
In this thou art Supreme to me,
And Virtue's ielf muft yield to Thee i
I do believe it necefsary,
S-ill at thy command to vary ;
Juft like a Weathercock to range
Si rail with thy breath, at ev'ry changes
To follow in tliy winding way —
rt o wheedle, coax and lead altray .*
To travel jll the country round,
V/here vote or ini’reft can be found :
To how, lhake hands, no art to mits,
E*ch daughter, wife and filter kifs :
To talk of calves, and pigs, and coufins—
Of uncle's, aunts, and kin by dozens.
Then talk of Congrels and the laws,
To Ihew my zeal in Freedom's caufe ;
While worlds of length and thnnd'ring found
Amaze the people gaping round j
And thus to be at large expence
Of underftanding, wit and lenfe.
2 do btlieve mankind are Aises—
I mean the common, largHt clauesg
Wtin worth like uiine would never know,
Uulefe 1 rook the pains rofhew,
And teach, each numbirull how to choofe.
By ev’ry art that I could ufe.
This is mv Creed, in language plain-^
Let all the peeple fay Amen.
