So farewell to the little good you bear me,
Farewell, sad FAREWELL to all my pleasure!
his is the state of Hermit; one week he puts forth
A feeling bud of hope and sympathy
And waited with anxious heart the bossomng
The next week came cold frost like Crtque;
And,-when he thought poor easy man, full surely
His bliss was consllmnlating,-gavc him cut,
And then he fell, to had ventured
Like an angel Gan arch one may beg
To soohc your heart with consultations
But laid it on too thick My zcalousncss
Has ruined me quite, and nothing IS left me,
But pair of mittcns our joint stock in trade;
With no hope whatsoever of mercy,
From the fair being who will forever scold me.
Proud zeal and hope for seamsress' smiles, leave yc
III break for taller timber: o. how foolish
Is that poor man, who doatetl upon woman!
There is bctwixt that smile he would aspire to-
That sweetest look of woman, and blasted hopes,
Possibly, more fears than famine have;
And when he IS sacked, as Hermit late has been
He IS done up pretty brown

But once; but thy cold crtiquc did force from me,
The fable OF, " the Hermit with his Cat."-
Let us join paws and thus far hear me, Seamstrcss:
And,-when I'M slowed away, as shall be,
In my cold, drcary, hermitage, where no word
OF me will e'er more reach tlee,-say taught thee
Say Hcrmit-and not GA "--once the Co.

Found thee way, T. avoid puppy's stare;
A sure and safe one, and thou canst not miss it.
Mark what it is ne'cr smiling look, sasoet
seamstrcss charge thee fling away hard feelings;
They re never found in angels; how thou then
Th' observed of all observers win much love?
Look ere you leap; think twice before you write;
Contumely wins not near qnick charity.
And let thy pen a sweet indulgence grant
To rising gcnius-Be mild and cut not
Let all the ends thou aimst at be thy work.
Thy statcs this piece; and if thou ail'st O. seamstrcs
Why cut and come again. o, Seamsrcss Sea1nstress!
Oh Oh J! ~! .-.

over his remains, with heart brim full of sorrow and witt
