Which orderly begin to chime,
Ending in measure tipp'd with rhime.
At Birmingham I meet my boy,
But never meet him without joy;
For life to melancholy tends,
Were we to live without our friends;
Nay, if to folitude we give,.
How can we then be faid to live?
Thoughts of the pen are now laid by,
On paper only caft an eye:

Twill fuit you, Sir, to buy this lots
The heft and cheapest fort we've got.
Nay, Sir, it will my warehoufe fill;
Not it, take all, pay when you will,"

ed

My glaffes, newspapers, and I— late,
Enter the parlour to be private
Let's fee what fatefmen are contriving,
If the politic nags they're driving.
But how can I men's actions view,
Who know fo little what they do?
My joyous breakfast comes at last in,
I relish like a plough-man fafting;
Chat with all
nothing fac

But after all comers

on each

Till Molly finishes debates,
Opens with," Sir, the dinner waits."
Who would not enter, with all bis heart,
To tafte plumb-pudding, pye, or diffart,
Let me to thefe fweet difhes join,
And you, my friend, may take fur-loin.
Nought now remains (the floor well trod)
But warm my fhins, or take a nod,
Till gloves are on, hat o'er the eye,
"Tis ftriking five, and fo good by."
The bulky town recedes from view;
I meet with bows, and how d'ye do.

Mifs Rain and I each other chace,
We 're often found in clofe embrace;
Though fair without, and pure within,
"I dun na like her tuch my skin,"

When Afton fteeple ftrikes the eye, It steals, for her I lov'd, a figh,

One mile walk'd o'er, the tray'ler fees

My little cot peep through the trees,

Dear cot for thirty years inclin'd
To furnish me with peace of mind

a pleafing look within

the world, from care

yare

Here I, with truth it may be faid,
Write for the living, wake the dead,
Converfe with those who liv'd of
And feed on what they fed before,
Tranfaction at

Bring back to view a thousand years.
Now, in heroic verfe, we'll states
At that found when I pafs the gate,plosif
Bounces old Cerb'rus from his bed,
Not grac'd with three, but with one head,
Bullies, in thundering ftrains about,
Refolv'd to keep invaders out;
But inftant, finding who I am,
Converts the monster to the lamb,

Smiles at me with that mouth and eye
Rais'd, the past moment, to destroy
Makes his tremendous jaws expand,
And leads me gently by the hand;
Severity might give him blows,
Humanity, the pat beftows.

The birds, my little grove retaio,
Welcome me with their chearful frain,
In gratitude they fing their beft,
Because they hold a peaceful neft;
For neither bird or neft have been
Disturb'd fince firft my grove was seen
A place, perhaps, by right divine,
As much their freehold as 'tis mine;
And, though we both are
now poffeffors,
May both bequeath it our fucceffors;
Nor fhall it in the froft be faid
Ie'er withheld a crumb of bread.

My pair of grays the Mufe engage,
Who, in my fervice, fee old age: 21 497
They hear my voice, they make no stand,
But take the bread from mafter's hand,
Perceiving an exhaufted store,
Lovingly follow me for more..

They never knew a treatment harsh,
Strangers to want, as to the lafh.

But never meet them with a fcold;
My equals, in an eye divine,
Why not my equals then in mine?

Yours, &c. AMICUS PATRIE.

Mr.URBAN, Brynbella,near Denbigh, N. Wales, July 23. SAID that, when we returned to Wales, I would look over Dr. Johnton's Manufcript Letters; and my diligence was quickened by a literary friend, who, fpeaking of the charge your correfpondent S. S. brings against me for negligence, made me read the fame paffage as it ftands in Mr. Murphy's edition, where the words are well arranged, and the paragraph cleared from all embarrassment.

In the manufcript letter, how ever, (which I thewed him, and

am willing to fhew you), not a particle can be found different from the publication I have been called on to explain. It now remains chiefly to examine how Mr. Mur phy came to print it with fo much more accuracy, because he certainly never poffeffed my manufcripts for half an hour in his life; and, if he had, the fault is in the original letter, as in the printed copy.

That I fhould be flow to fufpect any thing written by Johnfon could be nonfenfe, is natural enough: but Mr. Lyfons looked over his papers with me very carefully; and though we must naturally have read them together more than once, the error always efcaped our detection, and I do think would never have been found out by, Sir, your most obedient fervant, H. L. PIOZZI.

Mr. URBAN,

July 16. House the following obferva tions may be acceptable to fome of your readers. If they do not appear to be well founded, ftill they may ftimulate other perfons to inveftigate the fubject farther. It is extremely awful; and particularly connected with the turn of our thoughts in thefe times, and our meditations concerning the divine Difpenfations!

In chap. xvi. of the Revelation of St. John, the directions to the Angels, with the Vials of wrath, efpecially the first five Vials, or the moft part of them, appear to be intended against the Papal power. The Fourth Vial has been calculated, in a very ftriking manner, by Mr. Fleming, to be poured out on France, as one chief adherent
