SONNET. 
JF focial converfe ever charm’d the ear, 
Of thofe whom adverfe fate has far re- 
mov'd 
From all they valu’d, and from all they 
lov’d 5 
How {weet it is, when haply they fhalt hear 
The voice of fympathy, and mark the tear 
By feeling, fenfe, and fentiment approv’d! 
How dead to each were thofe that yer un- 
mov’d 
Could view them,and not hold the objet dear! 
No ftoic, AZary, I with fcorn reject 
The ftole’s creed, if fuch his creed it is, 
To flight, indignant, every tranfient blifs, 
And treat the fympathies with rude negleét. 
Pieas’d I have met thee, and my trembling 
heart 
Shrinks from the dreaded fentence—We 
muft part !

RACCHUS isa jolly boy, 
And Bacchus we willfollow; % 
He’s open, gen’:ous, bold, and free, 
And better than dole:

Apollo’s foft, effeminate, 
Bacchus brisk and jolly 5 
He always thews an honelt face, 
Difperfing melancholy !

Bacchus is the god of wine ;' 
Apollo’s god of fqueakers ; 
He, quiv’ring, fhakes his lyre and lut>, 
While Bucchus rings his beakers?

Thus Bacchus has his mufic too, 
And matter Pol furpaiffes ; 
Pol fcrapes all day, Bac plays all night, 
Tuning his mufic-glafies.
