Come, lovely Health! divineft maid ! 
And lead ree thro’ the rural fhade : 
To thee the rural fhades belong !

And, while he tries the tune‘ul ftrain, 
To raife the raptur’d poet’s fong. 
Behold the patient village hind ! 
No cares difturb his tranquil mind,. 
By thee and fweet Contentment bleft 5 
All day he turns the ftubborn plain, 
And meets, at eve, his infant train, 
While guiltlefs pleafure fills his breaft. 
Oh, ever good and bounteous ! ftill, 
By fountain frefh, or murm’ring mill, 
Let me thy blifsful prefence find ! 
Thee, Goddefs! thee, my fteps purfue, 
When carelefs of the morning dew, 
I Jeave the lefs’ning vales behind. 
ODE V. 
OH, far remov’d from my retreat 
Be Av’rice, and Ambition’s feet ! 
Give me, unconfcious of their pow’r, 
To tafte the peaceful, focial hour. 
Give me, beneath the branching vine, 
‘The woodbine {weet, or eglantine, 
While ev’ning theds its balmy dews, 
To court the chafte infpiring Mufe | 
Or, with the partner of my foul, * 
To mix the heart-expanding bow!, 
Yes, dear Sabina ! when with thee, 
T hail the Goddefs, Liberty ;

When joyous thro’ the-leafy- grove, 
Or o’er the flow’ry mead, we reve; 
While thy tender bofom hares 
‘Thy faitinful Delia’s joys and caits ; 
Nor pomp, nor wealth, my withes move, 
Nor the more foft deceiver, Love.

‘EPOSE, fweet babe! thy ¢rying ceafe; 
For thine’s an age of truth and peace ; 
Kind love thy infant days thal! rear, 
. Tho? love has planted daggers here. 
Difgrace and grief benight my brow, 
Fond viétim of a perjur’d vow. ; 
A vile feducer’s guileful art 
Betray’d my unfufpecting heart. 
*Twas he deftroy’d my fpotlefs fame, 
But thou fhalt long furyive my fhame ; 
For, when in deathI fleep at reft; ~ 
The world will ceafe to wound th’ opprefs‘d. 
Then hufh, fweet babe! thy cries give o’ery 
Diftratt my tortur’d breaft no more ; 
For love thy intant days fall rear, 
And grant my, haplefs fate a tear.

Mr. RussELL’s SELENOGRAPHIA. 
O% the 8th of November, letters pa- 
tent were granted to JOHN Rus- 
sELL, Efg. R. A. of Newman-fireet, 
London, for a new apparatus, named the 
Selenographia. 
This apparatus is defigned to exhibit 
the phenomepa of the moon. | It confifts 
of a globe, on which are expreffed the 
{pots on the moon’s vifible furface, accu- 
rately taken by a micrometer, from the 
moon itfelf, and transterred toa globe; 
being carefully engraved from the origi- 
nal drawings, made by actual and very 
minute obfervation ; the lunar mountains 
being attended to and exprefied with 
great exacinefs. ‘This globe..is fixed’ to 
an inftrument, which is contrived to give 
it fuch motions as will defcribe the ef- 
feéts produced to the inhabitants of. the 
earth upon the face of the moon, in its 
different degrees of elongation from the 
Jun, under all flates of libration, in don- 
gitude and latitude; inclination of the 
moon’s equator tothe plane of the 
ecliptic 3 the fip&'meridian of the moon, 
eer 
with the plane of the illuminated hemi. 
phere ; the apparent motion of the polar 
axis of the moon ; and the motion of the ~ 
moon’s mean centre, while performing 
her periodical circuit round the earth, 
and revolution on her axis, during the 
whole cycle. Upon this giobe. (when 
required) are medelled the mountains or 
elevations on the furface of the moon, 
by which contrivance all the effects will 
be moft completely exhibited together. 
As an appendage to the. lunar globe, 
which has not the. mountains elevated, 
a {phcrical. fegment is invented, to be 
caft in a mould from the original model ; 
and upon this are elevated the yarious 
mountains feen on the furface of the 
moon; and it may be fo coloured that 
thefe {pots of the moon may be properly 
reprefented, which owe their. re{pective 
luminous or their dark appearance, not 
to elevation, but to other caufes which 
render them con{picuous. 
The inftrument to move this globe 
confifts chiefly of circles, femicircles, and 
fegments of fpheres and of circles, fo 
placed
