In the following lines the thought, per- 
haps, is not quite original :—the author, 
probably, had in his eye a fable of /Efop’s 
—but the turn is truly epigrammatic ; 
and as they were not printed in Chrifto- 
pher Smart’s Poems, no apology will be 
neceflary for inferting them here. 
Ona malignant, dull Poet. By Chrifiopher Smarte 
When the viper its venom has fpit, it is faid, 
That its fat heals the wound which its poifon 
had made: 
Thus it fares with the blockhead, who ven- 
tures to write, 
His dullnefs an antidote proves to his fpite.

RING. 
THE NATURAL SMALL-POX. 
1.7 SHE natural fmall-pox is a loath- 
fome, infectious, painful, and fatal 
difeafe. It is confined to no climate; but 
rages in every quarter of the world, and 
deftroys a tenth part of mankind.

that dreadful diftemper, often furvive 
only to be the viétims of other maladies ; 
or to drag out a miferable exiftence worfe 
than death. 
3. This cruel and lamentable diforder 
leaves behind it pits, fcars, and other ble- 
mifhes; and bodily deformities which 
embitter life. 
THE INOCULATED SMALL-POX. 
1. The inoculated fmall-pox alfo is 
loathfome, infettious, painful, and fome- 
times fatal; and, when partially adopt- 
ed, fpreads the contagion, and increafes 
the mortality of the difeafe. 
2. It fometimes occafions the fame ma- 
ladies as the natural fmall-pox. 
3. It frequently leaves behind it the 
fame blemifhes and deformities as the na- 
tural {mall-pox ; which are the more de- 
plorable, as they were brought on by a 
voluntary act,
