I'jgi. HORACE, LIB. III. ODE 26. IMITATED. Xii, 



I laugh at £/o'/i; Now^'ellt, 

 And hate to hearof Marmontel : 

 No time on TeUmaque I wafte : 

 Such is the progrels of my tafte ! 



Nor needs the' fatal change furprife. 

 Since wedlock every want ftippHcs, 

 Confounds me with a million more 

 I never heard about before, 

 - . Sucks all I he vigour from my veins, 

 And j'urfe and perfon duly drains. 



Glasguensis. 



Fo7- the Bee. 



A Hint for Country Gentlemen, 



Aliturus il/uc quo prhres abieruni, 



' ^uid n.'tntc ctia^miferum torques fpiriium, 



Phcedrus. 

 A man ambitious to do ill, 

 Who hath at once the power and will. 

 Can always find a fair pretence 

 In juftice, law, and common f^fe, 

 To giind the faces of the poor. 

 And turn his tenants to tlie door. 

 To ftop the ftarving orphan's plough, 

 And kill for rent the widow's cow. 



For all fuch gentlemen as thefe 



(They may depend on't, if they pleafe) 



A fpacious elegant hotel 



Hath long been fitted up in hell. 



The landlord, there, will fcorn to fleece, 



Or flrip his lodgers of their Icafe.
