Heaven help us all these terrific days
& The burning san upon the earth IS peiting
With lis -dirretest, hottest, hercest rays,
-Andscvery thing Is melting
Pat men. infasuate; fan the stagnant air,
In rash essay to cool their inward glowing,
While with eas,lf stroke, in doloIous despair
They feel the FEVER growing
TBe.lcan and lathy find fate as hard
For all dry, they burn like any tladcr
Beneath the solar blaze, till wither'd, charr'd,
And crisped away 10 cinder.
The dogs lie lolling in the deepest shade,
The pigs are all wallos il the cutters,
And not / household creaiure-caFor mad,
But queRiously mutters
E,cn stoics now arc in acknowledgement
And ycsta checks arc most nnseemly forid;
Thesvcry zone that girts the 1rigid pride,
is now intensely torrid!
sa,Tis dreadful dreadful hois' exclaims each ono,
Unto his sweating, swclt'rfng, roasting negiboT,
Then mops his brow and signs as he had done
A quiet, herculean labor i
And friends who pass each ether in the town.,
Saw no good morrows when theyzcomc together,
But only mutter. with a dismal frown,
What horrid, horrid weather.
While prudent mortals cure with strictest care,
All vagrant curs-it seems the qucercst puzzle
The Dog Star RACES rapid through the air,
Without the slightest .muzzle.
But Joye is wise and equal in his way,
1liowe'er il serms. to clash with human reason,
His fiery dogs will soon have had their day,
And men shall have season.
