TETE FAITHFUL FRIEND.
bly Patberyft ten thonsand pounds,

And it ail to ine ;
11ly friends, like sun•iiies, flock'd around,
As kind as hind could lie.

This sent a huck, and that a hare,
And some the Lord knows what ;
In short, I thout,,ht. I could declare
Nu unit such friends lad g.,t.

They ate my meat, they drank .my wine,
to truth so kind were they,
That in. the weather wet or fine
They'd dine with me next day.

TIP.y came ; and, like the circling:year,
The %vela round,
Tjl something whisper'd in my ear,
•..Ih, poor ten thousand pounds!"

" Pshaw! stuff!" cried I'll hear it not;
" Resides, such friends are mine,
" That. ,‘ hat they have will he my lot,
" So push about. the wine !"

The glasses Tung, lhe jest prevail'd,
'Twas summer every day !
Till, lih'e a flo..ver by blight assail'd,
My thousands dropt away.

Alas ! and so my friends dropt off,
Like rose leaves from the stein :
My fallen state hut met their scoff,
And Ino inure saw thew !• .

One friend, one honest friend remaiii'd, •
When all the locusts flew,
One that fie' er slirwalt, nor friendship feign' d
My faiiiiful dog, 'twas you.

EPIGRAM.
'Tis not with love niv cruel mistress burns :
Slie mourns me absent, but my presence spurns.
No fond attachment bids the nymph complain ;
tilts grieves because she caeinot see my pain.
