Aduisied to thi amubli Miss, R....F.
AS when the Sun, Creatibn to adorn,
'fftit ihouts triumphs ttt b’erthe rifing morn ;
Or, when from high, in bright meridian ray.
Her daz'ling beams illuminate the day ;
So comes my theme—Eternal *Goddefs, thou
Who aid's the Mufes, give afsiftance now,
Inlpire my pen with more tKah mortal arc,
Wlill# I perform this lublun'aVy part *
Teach my dell genius while 1 move the lyre,
To mount Pegalus with’Apollo's fire,*
Soften the eerie, let no hurlb found appear,
While of my fair a picturefcjue 1 rear.
■Q ! could I form, l‘ke Pnpfc, the well torn'd line,
I'd touch the key that moves the fong divine;
With ceafeleft toil the' Poetfs walks explore,
Tall all.her charms, and count her beauties o'er »*
F »r each loft paflion, only form’d to pleaie.
Plays round her break with admirable eafe t*
The crimfon bhiUies gild her lorei.y cheek,
Whife the mild eye dilcovers goodntls m< ck.
Not e'en divine Diana could compare,
The long, black treflet of her curling hair,
With the fine IocUk that o'er her bolom twine.
Or davvn the fnow'y neck their fid! incline.
Her lip vermillion, ting'd with Tyrian bloom,
Her breaih the rich Arabia's beft perfume.
Not half fo fair the dematk rofc appears,
When xlie green bulb the fprighily bloffum cheers,
As tile atubrofiau texture of her fkin,
From,\ha foft bofom to the riling; chin.
Her form majeltic, (trikes the alioimh'd eye—
At ev'ry glance a fecret charm we fpy.
Fk'tnrieg ('ll beauties in fuccefsion rife,
And different (miles come fpatkliug from her eyes.
The (ilrer Graces all their powers improve.
And-Venus ltrivcs to form her foul for love ;
B it vain thrir toil. Minerva takes her hand.
And guards her pupil with a loitering hand ;
'Hie wile protectrefs bids her charge purl'ue,
Scenes .'where far nobler profpecis rile in view.
?* Shun'(lang’rou* love" exclaims the heav’nly guide,
“ Wear Mentor’s agis ever by thy fide :
Was it nor me the f*ge Ul)ll«s led,
«* 'Till wildom flmrilii'd—youthful folly fled ?
“ So by my care, if you my call attend,
4< This arm Ihall ^uard yo»i, utid my power defend."
The sffeniinjg maltf wi.li anxious hafteconftft.
That cares like love, Humid ne’er diflurb her breaft.
Then ccafe my mule, flu? dreed decree is paft,
Thefe charms were form’d, bufnor for man to tafte.
Too r gid fate to m >rtals hath not given
Such perfect bli.'s, 'ns but referv’d for heaven. .

T'H E FOLLY OF PRIDE.
OF ail the pafliotftt that pervade the human heart
there is none lb certainly difgul'ting to the
fyc of ienlih’lity as that of Pride. T here is no one
weukncfs which Io foon diilovers irfelt to the dif
ceruing man. It derives its fource from a ipoiled
* ducat ion-^-it fprings from the narrow confines of
ignorance. 'I o fee a well drefled ge ntleman or la
dy eutrr an AfiVmbly the attention of the whole au
dience is iipmdintely fixed on them, they conceive
their fine clothes have rendered them tuperior to the
left of the company—pride enfucs—md if >a iirau
ger or a plain drefled per Ion appears, they ihun
thetn with emuempt, however great their talents
or abilities may be. But (trip them of this advan
tage arid reduce them to their proper ftandard, to
their juft proportion, and the vain phantom will
vanilh. Their outljde r$ rich-and fine like the walls
ot their, apartments ; within there is often naught
but mcauneis, hnfeiiels and poverty, and a frightful
vacancy of ;tll merit ; and lometimes even this fine
outward fbew conceals the moft enormous crimes,
and lhanielul irregularities. M.

A S my books were formerly kept by my late
