To draw ffsil nature TO thy dazzling shrine.
Fed but with tears-snd pamper'd but with sighs,
AL earth thy altar. -msn thy sacrifice
Thy specious smile deceives tn unwary youth,
And leads his footsteps from the paths of truth
Sways his young heart, and bends his canker'd
To satan's sceptre. and to sins control,
1hy hollow wiles the favorite son entce
To gambling haunts of infamy and vices
Bring dowa the parent, who his child would save,

Thy fostering hands prepare the Hrtfu snare,
To draw the husband and the fsther there

Points TO despair the sell !fdestroying road,
