Y ever dear and favourite son;
_ : lss'vsij eard 9} late the csecds you've done, (
Go on us ,sihoy keep true.:o me, - {5 . "
And I'll etp faith, de nd with thee. "
For sure 1 never yet di know,
In air lbcve or earth below,
A child so wedded to my will,
_So lost to virtue, prone to iL].
So every way my son and heir,
Or fimr for promotion hire,
Know then that I of special grace,
Willing to give my boy a place.
Late summon'd up my swzrthy crew,
To know what place best suiced you,
All [stick'd their earl, except : black,
(Who ears had not) he shewed hi: back.
" No make him overseer, say: he,
" For dat man he been killy me,"
Bil back hid head hit meagre face,
Drew pity from the hellish face.
The murmerrun from shore to [hote,
And he]! wan instanc in : roq.
The clamour stayed, : boy then cried,
By him begot, by him I died. -
An,a matron creeped along, ,
And eebly thus addressed the throng;
A child I brought, that child I cherish'd,
And by that chlld, at last I perish'd.
Such noble acts, such deeds as these,
Methought th' infernal croud would please,
But all cried out ('tis strange to tell)
" 'I'here'o no lace fit for MAT in hell.
" Hi- act- so ar surpasc your own,
" 'Twould give him title to the crown."
The ninth il this, my son shey fear,
LelR you should take th' imperill chair.
Should that say they, be e'er the cuse,
Hell would become an empty space.
The cloud dismiss'd, : wily peer, _
With wicked tin, malicioun leek,
AdviPd to bulld mother hell,
' Thot you alone therein might-dwell.
Now nf my son but no objection,
]! shall be built by your direction,
Nay more, to give you due content,
l'll send ou neg-roeo to torment.
An cer or two beside:, .
To be! you cut and [laid their hides.
