- .• • THE PROPHECY.

ADDRESSED TO THE REV. W. ARDEN.

Hop'st thou luxurious tithes to reap,
• A dignified' Divine ?
Think'st thou to climb preferments steep,
A Bishop fat and tine ? , ,
What tho' thy face he round and sleek,
And rounder still is growing,
Thu' you. write well, and construe Creek,
• Thin twenty Deans more knowing.
'Tho' blest with ev'ry art to please,
With knowledge, and spirt;
Hup'st ti.o,z to ris.; with claims like these ?
To rise, bacause"you merit ?Vai •
11 hope! the world with rev'rence view ;
'Be thence thy maxims drawn, - •
And leave undone those things you do,
• And I'll ensure you lawn.
But if) our mind scorns all disguise,
Too stubborn to be great ;
And if you cannot stoop to rise,
• :'ll prophecy your fate.
To love and to•be lov'd .thy lot,
Without much wealth, or care,
Fix'd to one small, one happy spot,
Happy, for thou art there-.
Science arid mirth shill share the day,
' ' Health breithe in ev'ry gale-;
The wise shall seek, the poor filial! pray, .
Fotet.itnrN ut the Vale
• The SPeuesas there shall rest awhile, •
' • Thy cillMer joys to know,
With the., the fairest face shall smile,
; The :noblest heart o'erflow,
• Tliefairesflace-,art thou my Muse,
To all but beauty, blind ?
Wrist thro' envy you refuse •
To sing GLOB,' IA N A's Mind ?
.•
A niincl, that can charm restote,
When beauty's pow!r. is gone, ,
Above all wealth, all tan!.., nay iore,
Deserves the heart it won,- .

To damp this cheerful guest,

And smile at GA !kg 1 Ca's jest.
Sought, lov'd, and honour'd in the vale,
No care shall cloud thy life,
• Unless, for t

In that grea che—a ife.
Fission must look with reason's eye,
Or all the vision ends ;

But 5i,e,11,1 you 'scape (as 'scope you may,

Tho' there the wisest go astray, •
And wits to shame are brought,
No storms within your vale shall rush,
No worldly thoughts invade you ;
Ye llishaps and Archbishops blush,
Anti let those blush who Itl.rde you.' .
