When lo! the steward with undaunted face, 
Informs the courtier of his sure disgrace ; 
Cancels the honours which he had enjoyed, 
And in one moment all his hope’s destroyed. 
The affrighted vicar in his wretched state, 
Condemns his folly, but condemns too late, 
Curses the court, and all the servile train, 
Whose smile is treach’ry, and whose friendfhip’s bane! 
Farewell (he cries) St James’s glitt’ring fhow, 
T'll to my vicarage and my mountains go 35 
There will I live, in unmolested ease, 
On tythe pig, barn door fowls, and salutary pease,

A DESCRIPTION. 
To the lily’s milk-white glow 
Add the rose-bud, ere it blow 5 
To Raphael’s touch, and Titian’s dye, 
Add Correggio’s symmetry : 
Iv’ry bring from Afric’s fhore, 
‘Corals thence, where billows roar; 
Ebony, and fhining jet, 
All be in the cafket met: 
In Arabia’s Jand exhale, 
Odours from the spicy gale 5 
Rich perfumes from India bring, 
Catch the meadow’s sweets in spring 5 
More the picture to adorn, 
Draw the bluthes of the morn 5 
In Aurora’s flowing vest, 
Lightly be the damsel drest: 
Shape and air of Venus fhow, 
Let the Graces smiles bestow ; 
Lastly, to complete the whole, 
Give the nymph Minerva’s soul : 
These, the poets all declare, 
Constitute the charming fair 5 
These, if you search the world around, 
In Celia only will be found.
