The following elegant VERSES are taken from a Letter in the Collection of Letters written by the late Lord CHESTERFIELD to his Son. With gentleft manners treat her; YOULD you engage the lovely Fair? And merit care by cares : But fhort was her fway for fo lovely a maid. In the bloom of her youth to a cloyster she run, In the bloom of her grace, too fair for a nun, Ill-grounded, no doubt, a devotion must prove, So fatal to beauty, fo killing to love. Yes, these are the meadows, the fhrubs, and the plains, [my pains. Once the scene of my pleasures, but now of How many foft moments I spent in this grove? How fair was my nymph, and how fervent my love! Be ftill tho', my heart, thine emotion give o'er, Remember the season of love is no more! With her how I loiter'd 'midst fountains and bow'rs, Or loiter'd behind and collected the flow'rs; Then breathlefs with ardour my fair-one purfu'd, [The view'd And to think with what kindness my garland But be ftill, my fond heart, thine emotion give o'er, [her no more! Fain would't thou forget thou must love That on its curling waves the am'rous tide, VERSES addressed to a conftant reader of Ovid's Art of Love. E fure was born in an unlucky hour, HRhe Wever knew a woman's pleating power: More hard that heart than adamant and steel, Which beauty's charms divine could never feel; On love's foft joys our happiness depends, With love it first begins, with love it ends. But let not fancy reason's force controul, Nor paffion kill the vigour of the foul. Cæfar, when blefs'd in Cleopatra s arms, With pleasure heard the trumpets loud alarms; From the foft bed of love victorious fiew, In war's rough field his conquests to pursue. Bufinefs should follow love, as day the night, For he who both enjoys, feels moft delight. WHY Sarum, HY, fure thou think'ft the men of Act quite at randon, harum-scarum The fashionable DRESS, as established in the politeft Summer Circles. HE FULL DRESS.

W A FAREWELL ADDRESS, HEN I began the employ-city, and the moft profound judgment; ment of writing for the benefit of the public, I was fo far from entertaining a doubt Yof my own abilities, that I promised myself the greateft certainty of fuccefs, in combating the many-headed monster, VICE. I began with the errors of either sex ; I poised them in the scale alternately, and endeavoured to reafon them into good manners; but instead of this, I brought down upon myfelf the cenfure of both parties, and was foon obliged to give up the unequal conteft. I then directed my attack against FOLLY, but was here as -unfuccessful as before. She still maintained her influence over mankind, and my utmost efforts were unable to expel her. My ambition being thus checked in its career, for the first time in my life I began to think; and when I reflected upon the many Periodical Papers published in the world, by men of the greatest capa MISCELL. VOL. II. when I read over their very fenfible productions against every enormity of behaviour, and yet faw mankind as much abandoned to every vice as before, I determined to relinquish the pen, and to give up the room now occupied by my lucubrations to fome more able writer. For as the SPECTATOR, who with a critic's eye faw into the hearts of men, was unable to reform them ;---as the TATLER, who publifhed abroad their vices; the GUARDIAN, who wished to preferve them from destruction; and the RAMBLER and ADVENTURER, who were daily going in fearch of profelytes, have in vain exerted their abilities in the fervice of the community, I fear there is but little good to be expected from the feetle pen of an indifferent SCRIBBLER. Prefuming, then, that none will be diffatisfied at my retreat, I moft humbly take my leave of the Public; and am Their fincere Well-wisher, X The SCRIBBLER. The |
