HOPE TOLD A FLATTERING TALE.
AIR,—Nel cur piu, &c.
Hope told a flattering tale,
Of gold and golden dreams,
That we should still prevail
With all our bribing schemes.
O where's our Leader gone ?
To foreign climates flown ;
Alas I our golden dreams are o'er,
For Warwick now can bribe no more!

THE EXILE.

PROXY

AIR-Believe me if all those endearing young charms.
Believe me, if you will but let me return
To the ancient abode of my sires,
I will honestly pay all the Publicans' Bills,
And will act as my country requires.
I will pardon your freedom, in drawing aside
The golden fringed veil, that enclosed
The " privileged" Fountain that nobly supplied
All the channels that you have exposed !
It is not that I care a fig for the past,
But the future I fearfully dread;
For a fever is burning the core of my heart,
And my thoughts have bewilder'd my head!
Then let me return to my ancient abode!
0 let not my name bear a stain !
The channels shall dry where the streamlets have How'd
Ere Pane the Fountain again
FULKE GREVILLE, Oa.
