“LO! thoughtful of thy gain, 
“ Not of my own, l all the livelong Day 
“ Consume in meditation deep, recluse 
“ From Human converse; nor at shut of Eve 
“ Enjoy repose; but oft at Midnight lamp 
“ Ply my brain-racking studies, if by chance 
“ Thee I may counsel right; and oft this cure 
“ Disturbs me slumbering. Wilt thou, then, repine 
“ To tabor for thyself; and rather chuse 
“ To He supine'y ; hoping Heaven will, bless 
“ Thy slighted Fruits, and give thee Bread unearn d?” 
“ IPouldsl thou thy Hats with gen rout Juice should froth 
“ Respect thy Orchards : Think not that the Trees 
“ Spontaneous will produce an wholesome draught.'' 
“ And shall we doubt 
“ T' improve out vegetable wealth t or let 
The Soil lie idle, which , with fit Manure 
“ (Fill largest Usury repay, alone 
“ Empow red to supp'y what Mature asks 
Frugal, or what nice Appetite requires." 
JOHN PHILLIPS.
