Because the deed, by which his love to Love is not pedlar's trump'ry bought and sa That man will freely take an opbought his To place you where his saints his presence la terms as plaig, Hinsell has shut the rest
The sanguinary schemes, that some devise,
Bat oh the strife, the bick'ring, and debate, The tidings of unpurchas'd Heav'n create ! The flirted fau, the bridle, and the toss, All speakers, yet all language at a loss. From stucco'd walls smart arguments rebound; And beaus, adept in ev'ry thing profound, Die of disdain, or whistl: off the sound. Such is the clamour of rooks, daws, and kites, Th'explosion of the levell’d tube excites, Where mould'ring abbey.walls o'erhang the glade, And oaks coeval spread a mournful shade, The screaming nations, hov'ring in mid air, Loudly resent the stranger's freedom there, And seem to warn him never to repeat His bold intrusion on their dark retreat. Adieu, Vinosa cries, ere yet he sips The purple bumper trembling at his lips, Adicu to all morality! if Grace Mike works a vain ingredient in the case. The Christian hope is Waiter, draw the cork- If I mistake not-Blockbead ! 'with a fork! Without good works, whatever some may boast, Mere folly and delusion-Sir, your toast. My firm persuasion is, at least sometimes, That Heav'n will weigh man's virtues and his crimes With nice attention, in a righteous scale, And save or damn as these or those prevail. I plant my foot upon this ground of trust, And silence ev'ry fear with-God is just. But if perchance on some dull drizzling day A thought intrude, that says, or seems to say, If thus th' important cause is to be tried, Suppose the beam should dip on the wrong side ; 1 8000 recover from these needless frights, And God is merciful-sets all to rights. Thas between justice, as my prime support, And mercy, fled to as the last resort, I glide and steal along with leav'n in view, And,--pardon mne, the bottle stands with you.

Not ev'n the glorious Sun, though men revere The monarch most, that seldom will appear, And though his beams, that quicken where they

poor reclaim'd inhabitant, his eyes Glist'ning at once with pity and surprise, Amaz'd that shadows should obscure the sight Oi one, whose birth was in a land of light, Shall answer, Hope, sweet hope, has set me free, And made all pleasures else mere dross to me.
