Lov'd and defended by the brave and wife, Tho' knaves abuse it, and like fools defpife. Say, Wyndham, if 'tis poffible to tell, What is the thing in which you moft excell? Hard is the question, for in all you please, Yet fure good-nature is your noblest praise; Secur'd by this your parts no envy move, For none can envy him, whom all must love, This magic pow'r can make e'en folly please,This to Pitt's genius adds a brighter grace, And sweetens ev'ry charm in Cælia's face.

THAT I am going to bequeath,

W

When this frail part fubmits to death;
But ftill I hope the fpark divine
With its congenial ftars will shine:
My good executors, fulfil,

I pray ye, fairly, my laft will,
With first and fecond codicil!

And first I give to dear Lord Hinton,
At Twyford fchool now, not at Winton,
One hundred guineas for a ring,
Or fome fuch memorandum thing;
And truly much I should have blunder'd,
Had I not given another hundred
To Vere, Earl Poulet's fecond fon,
Who dearly loves a little fun,

Unto my nephew, Robert Longdon,
Of whom none fays he e'er has wrong done;
Tho' civil law he loves to hafh,

I give two hundred pounds in cash.

One hundred pounds to my niece, Tuder, (With loving eyes one Matthew view'd her) And to her children, just among 'em, A hundred more; and not to wrong 'em, In equal shares I freely give it, Not doubting but they will receive it.

To Sally Crouch, and Mary Lee,

If they with Lady Poulet be,
Because they round the year did dwell

In Twick'nham-house, and ferv'd full well,
When Lord and Lady both did stray
Over the hills and far away;
The firft ten pounds, the other twenty;
And, girls, I hope that will content ye,
In feventeen hundred fixty-nine,
This with my hand I write and fign;
The fixteenth day of fair October,
In merry mood, but found and sober;
Paft my threefcore and fifteenth year,
With fpirits gay and confcience clear,

Joyous and frolickfome, tho' old,
And like this day, ferene but cold.
To foes well withing, and to friends most
kind,

In perfect charity with all mankind. ********

On HAPPINESS.

Happiness! where's thy refort?

Amidst the fplendor of a court!
Ordoft thou more delight to dwell
With humble hermit in his cell,
In fearch of truth? Cr doft thou rove
Thro' Plato's academic grove?
Or elfe, with Epicurus gay,
Laugh at the farces mortals play?
Or with the Graces, doft thou lead
The fportive dance along the mead?
Or in Bellona's bloody car,

Exult amidst the fcenes of war?

No more I'll fearch, no more I'll mind thee, Fair fugitive ;- -I cannot find thee!

The eglantine's fragrance, the lilac's gay Tho' fair, and tho' fragrant, unheeded may lie, For that neither is fweet when Florella is by. I figh not for beauty, nor languish for wealth, But grant me, kind Providence, virtue and health;

Then richer than kings, and as happy as they, My days fhall pass sweetly and swiftly away, When age shall steal on me, and youth is no more, [my door, And the moralift, Time, fhakes his glafs at What charm in loft beauty or wealth shall I [mind. My treasure, my wealth, is a sweet peace of That peace I'll preferve, then, as free as 'twas

find,

HE above motto grac'd the head of a few fenfible obfervations on Pride, fent me laft week by an unknown friend, whofe aim, he tells me, is to rescue an acquaintance from falling a victim to this deftructive paffion. But Pride, he observes, is not the vice of him alone and as many likeneffes may be found to the picture he has drawn, I the more willingly publish it, thinking myfelf honoured, at the fame time, with the affiftance of a writer who has fome good end in view.

OBSERVATIONS on PRIDE.
By G.
P.S.

THERE is not a foible human nature is fubject to, fo prevalent, or universal, as that of Pride; and its powerful influence, in fpite of every effort made ufe of to conceal it, will, on the most tranfient reflection, appear to be the fource of all our actions.

There is fomething in the quality of Pride, to congenial with the depravity of the human mind, as cannot fail to allure : 'tis like the voice of flattery; it throws a veil over the understanding, and too often meets with the approbation of the heart; or rather, 'tis the veil itself, without which MISCELL. VOL. IL

POPE'S ESSAY ON CRITICISM,

flattery would inevitably be detected, and appear naked and unadorned, in all its deformity.

If we confider with serious attention the original fource from whence this prevailing paffion flows, it will be found to arife from the great opinion we enjoy of our own accomplishments---however fuperficial they may be in reality-in contradif. tinction to the imperfections we think are confpicuous in others: the human underftanding being fo defective, as from a motive of vanity, to be ready on all occafions to listen to the flattering voice of felf-approbation; making us view our own fuppofed perfections as in a concave mirror, which greatly enlargeth the object; whilft blinded by felf-importance we behold the merits of another, as in a convex one, diminishing their value, so as to make them almost imperceptible.

To examine minutely the innumerable ways by which Pride operates on the mind, requires more time, and greater abilities, than the writer can conveniently fpare, or boaft of being poffeffed of; they being as various as the ideas of mankind are different from each other; for what one man purfues with the greatest avidity, and fixeth as the ftandard of true wisdom, another will defpife and treat with the utmoft contempt; following with the like eageraels,
