SACRED TO THE MUSES.
PARODY—No PARODY.
ALL the world's a newspaper, And all our men and women merely readers: They have their tastes and their hobby horses And each one, in his turn, receives a part; The number being Seven —First the Poet , Fond of the jingling line and tinkled simile; Enjoying tortured sense, and strangling wit. But if the line flows smoothly to its end, Forever bathing in the Aonian fount, Him nought but sonnets, stanzas, odes, delight, And so he reads his part. Next comes in view The Sober , softly sighing SENTIMENTALIST Seeking for rapture in the daily line, The Shadean tale, ill-told, compar'd with Scorne's, Thy fragments choose, and tales and anecdotes.
Next the Wit , relishing the pun oblique, If but the point be gross—Him repartees, Bonmots, and gummy epigrams most pleased. And then the Politician , full of strange whims; Seeking essays, strictures, observations; With solemn phiz, talking of resolutions, Patriot armies, sieges and leagues of despots; Of neutral powers, and of neutral rights, ca- bals, Of foreign interference, sublimity of states, And all the mazes of the court-police. He marks each signature; what Brutus writes he reads And turns his eyes from Cassius—sees in some men,
The wish to bend us to a foreign yoke; In others, sees the wish for nature's state, And have the cubed bit of law deli-oyed, That like the savage all might rove at will. Frees as the air they breathe: while some he sees, Who with that government of purest source, And subordination, might secure Our fair inheritance. These form the general mass—
Next comes the Economist ; hunting for receipts Receipts, experiments. With up turn'd nose He runs o'er Prose and verse, and like to Hotspur , Had rather be a kitten, and cry Mew , Than one of these same metre ballad lovers. The grade of Moralists , next advance to view: Fond of the mixing fage, and sober precept; They once aweek expect their frugal fare, To mend the manners and instruct the mind. Last comes the pale and slipper'd Wonder HUTTER,
Intent on dying speeches—hurricanes— Malignant fevers, pestilence and Want— Of thousands butchered on the bloody field, And thousands starving in the wasted land. They thunder-storms delight in, and will seek With e. m. st eye, for deaths and murder, Of people drown'd, or burnt, or suffocated— Learn whom the knot of Hymen has fast tied, And whom the knot of justice faster noosed; With the long list of ev'ry human ill.—
These all must have their part. The printer elic, Is but the standing mark of censure loud. These tastes not gratified, they all will growl, And cry the paper's barren, empty, dull, Sans news, sans sense, sans wit, sans every thing.
Some thieves met a man, robbed him, and bound him in a wood; just after they met another, bound him also, and laid him on the other side of the hedge; when one of them cried I am undone, I am undone! The other hearing him, begged most heartily that he would come and undo him too.
