Experience is useful ssge,
To check the vices If The age;
But all her maxims arc drspish,
And foily's ilattering dictates priz'a;
Good sense and sober truth, it seems,
Are laid aside as Idle dreams,
And pride and silly fashion still
Contruul the hca,t and guide the will.
What harmless looking thing is this?
Surely it never did amiss;
A thing so simple aud so plain,
Could never well have given pam!
" Hold, sir, you do rot know rue we'll
