No. CXCIV.—-EPIGRAM, BY A GENTLE- 
MAN, WHEN STUDENT OF TRINITY- 
HALL, ON SEBING TWO YOUNG La- 
DIES TOGETHER. 
When wifdem and beauty, rare intercourfe! 
meet 
From heav’n we get emblems to mark our 
furprife : 
Thus Clarais Venus. with Pallas’s wit, 
And Emily Pallas, with Venus’s cyes. 
NO. CXCV.~—DR. DARWIN. 
Dr. Darwin, the poet and philofopher, 
was of St. John’s College, and deferved 
a place among our Cambridge poets. The 
following lines, written in his Loves of 
the Plints, by a Cantab, may be placed 
not unaptly here. Cupid fpesks: 
« Feeming with Nature’s living fires, 
_ TL bid thee welcome, genial Spring, 
While Fancy wakes her thoufand lyres, 
And woeds and vales refponiive ring. 
She comes—lo! Winter fcowls away ; 
Harmonious fornis ftart forth to ‘view ; 
Nymphs, tripping light in circles gay, 
Deck’d in their robes of virgin hue, 
Then I, on am’rous fportings bent, 
Like a fly archer take my fiand ; 
Wide thro’ the world my fhafts are fent, 
And ev’ry creature owns my hand, 
Firft man, the lord of all below, 
A captive finks beneath my dart 5 
And lovely woman, fram’d to Sl 
Yields the eaaihign of her heart! 
Thro? fea and earth, and boundlefs fky, 
The fond fubje€ion all muft prove, 
Whether they fwim the flream, or fly, 
Or mountain, vale, or foreft rove. 
Nor lefs the garden’s fweet domain, 
The mofly heath, and verdant mead, 
The tow’ring hill, the level plain, 
And fields, with blooming life o’erfpread.

«© The 26th daye of Julie, 1578, the 
Qiteenc’s Majeftie came in her progreffe 
intended to Norfolk, to Audley-End, at 
the town of Waldsen, accompanied by 
the Lorde Treafurer, High Chancellor

_leges thoughte mecte and convenient for 
the difchardge of dutie, that the faid Vice- 
Chancellor and Hedds of Cell. fhould

come her Grace into thefe quarters.” 
About the end of his oraticn, the ora-

ing his three ordinarie curtefies, and then 
kneeling at her Majefty’s feet, prefented

To the Editor of the Mente dy apie 
SIR, 
\\ Al ¥ attention having been diredted? 
Bt by a friend, fome few days ago, 
to an article in one of the numbers of the 
Edinburgh Review, in which the writer 
has ftrangely milunderftood (for I will 
not fuppefe he has wilfully anifreprefent- 
ed) a ftatement I have publifhed of the 
expence of maintaining the garrifon of 
the Cape of Good Hope, I think it right, | 
from deference to the public, as weil as 
juftice to mytfeif, to endeavour to remove 
any doubts that fuch mifreprefentation 
may have created. I fhould not at the 
time have deemed it worth my while to 
anfwer an anonymous writer, who “has 
indulged his pen in expreflions that might 
have been lefs acrimonious, and more be- 
‘coming the gentleman and the fcholar, 
without diminifhing the force of bis ar- 
gument, did I not conceive the importance 
of the fubject to demand it. ‘The value, 
indeed, of the Cape of Good Hope is of 
fuch magnitude to the interefts of Great 
Britain, in every point of view, as to make 
it impofiible fhe fhould ever lofe fight of 
at.
