EVERY NAN IA THIEF BY NATURE.

re A LADY.
Listen to me my dearest creature,
Every mans thief by nature
See the little girls and boys,
How they steal each others toys:
Stealing is the first of arts,
None are thieves but men OF parts.
Poets steal from one another,
Nay, the daugter robs her mother,
Time viii steal our very youth,
Liars sometimes steal the truth
NAY, your sex would pilfer you
OF those eyes of heavenly blue,
OF that soft enverm1ll'd lip,
And that earwith rosy tip,
And your silky auburn hair,
1hatswantons in the enamcurd alr.
Since we are such thieves by nature,
Why accuse me, dearest crature
Of a crime, crime so glorious,
J. is your swain at last victorious
Have really STOLE your heart,
Spite of all your pride and art
IF you pardon the transgression,
You 'shan't lose by the confession,
You shall find your heart at rest,
In your lovers faithful breast;
How I'll guard the precious treasure,
Loves the source of every pleasure
You can prove it, ifyou doubt il,
Lie, indeed, is nought without 1t.

On this point he was unable to answer; as
he also was to an enquiry, whether the late
British DEGREES had reference to the late ex-
tension Of The French decree with respect
to the u. States. He seems also, as is
perhaps the case with his government, to
have taken very little into consideration the
violations Of neutral commerce, and, thro'
them, the vast injury to France, antecedent
to the Berlin decree. It is probable that
something further is to pass between Us on
this subject"
