SCORK COMES WITH SKAITH. May II, 



Verfcs occafioned hy hearing the proverb, " Scorn comes 

 " commonly with Jkaith.''^ 



Alas I what bitter cups of grief 



Are mortals doom'd to tafte ? 

 How many forrows do we meet. 



While through this life we hafte ? 

 Yet thofe are often jeer'd and fcoff'd. 



Who do with forrow mourn ; 

 - Which fhews, alas ! that fkaith comes oft 



Accompany 'd with fcorn. 



" Mark maiden innocence a prey'" 



To -villains trcach'rous wiles, 

 Ne'er dreading tliat a bafe dcfign 



Doth lurk beneath his fmiles : 

 Smiles that his end do gain; and then 



Alas ! file's left forlorn ! 

 To languifh under grief and pain, 



And fuffer otherb fcorn ! 



O ceafe, ye fair, (who were beneath 



A happier planet born) ; 

 To" mock or taunt the haplefs maid. 



Whom fate hath doom'd to mourn ; 

 For ah ! beneath misfortune's blow, 



(From all that's pleafant turn) 

 Is felt unutterable woe. 



Without another's fcorn. 



Ba„h of Clyde, 7 J. H N.

Ode to the Larl, by the Reverend Mr. I. I'yfoiu 



Sv/EET attendant on the fpring, 

 That cnraptur'd lov'ft to flag. 

 That afpiring, lov'ft 10 fly, 

 Fver mounting to the fky. 

 Had I but thy tuneful throat. 

 Could I learn thy love-fick note. 

 Could I learn to fing liJte thee,
