IjOOKING-GLASS.

On viewing Nature’s noble plan of things, 
We find Five Senfes mov’d by double firings ; 
While every fibre aids the lively fenfe. 
Ordain’d by wifeft laws of Providence. 
The firft, in rank, diredls our fragrant fmell ; 
The fecond gives us power of feeing well ; 
The third commands the motions of our fight, 
To contemplate with eafe the facrCd Hght ; 
The fourth to fecret lovers gives the law j 
The fifth keeps time in moving either jaw ; 
The fixth, by turns, pourtrays our pride or flight j. 
The feventh afferts to melody a right ; 
T 0 wake the foul with feelings fit for kings, 
The eighth flrong nerve employs a hundred fprlngs ; 
The ninth excites the call for daily bread ; 
The tenth fuftains, with grace, the neck and head ; 
For Adam’s children, upflarts, lords, and kings, 
Are tun’d, like harpfichords, with tender firings. 
Thus mufic, poetry, and art combine. 
With equal harmony, to draw the line : 
As Handel’s notes fllll charm the Britiflr ear. 
So Garrick’s language us’d to draw the tear ; 
fnfpir’d by Shakefpeare and the tragic Mufe,— 
For who could tears at their command refufe ?
