Q how can language think to trace
What fenfe can scarcely bear,
Or paint the beauties of a face,
So exquifitely fair!
Defcription throws the pencil by,

And gives the ftudy o'er;
Nor dares prefume to look fo high,
As lovely Fanny Gore.

III.
The magic fweetness of her tongue

The circling (pheres might call,
And headlong ftreams, as Pope has fung,
Hang lift'ng in their fall.

With rapture ftruck, the wand'ring ear

Is Atretch'd on every pore;
And every nerve is ftrain'd to hear.
The voice of Fanny Gore.

IV.

Thus form'd to please the niceft thought
Which fancy e'er expreft,

Her foul with every grace is fraught
That charms the human breaft.
With pride I own my heart is won,
With transport I adore;

And till life's latest fands are run,
I'll doat on Fanny Gore,

The TEA-CUP. A FABLE. S Belmont o'er his evening's tea, A happy hour enjoy'd, With Delia's lip made pretty free, And with her bofom toy'd;

II.

He ftrove to fteal his charmer's-cup,
But turning quickly round;
Juft as he fnatch'd the plunder up,
He dropt it on the ground.

III.

The fair beheld him at a fland, And failing saw it broke; Then gently taking up his band, She prefs'd it as the spoke.

IV.

"Obferve th' uncertain flate, my deat, Attending human life;

Nor blush, my only love, to hear

A moral from a wife.

V.

Our hope is but a china-cup,

That gaily ftrikes the view; And tho' it fwells the bosom up, Is full as brittle too.

VI.

But now it wou'd be fomething hard,
So foft a hope fhou'd miss;

Then feize, my life, your own reward,
I won't deny a kits,"

To a Gentleman in Love with a Lady of bad
Character.

Appears fo free from art, Yet who can love the faultless face, That knows the faithless heart? II. Can the profefs to any youth

A juft and honeft flame? Or have the smalleft fenfe of truth, Who loft the fenfe of thame ? III. No, Freeman, no; and much I fear The nymph was never known, Who held a husband's honour dear, And facrific'd her own.

III.

Can Cynthia look down on my woes,
While this foolish tear which is shed,
For the lofs of no innocence flows,

But laments that my lover is filed?
IV.

Each ray of content from my fight

High heaven in juftice withdraws,
When I think on my guilt with delight,
And fo ardently doat on the caufe.
V.

Yet can I reproach the falfe youth,
Though, Townly, there once was a time!
Or expect either honour or truth

From the man that occafion'd my crime?
VI.

Alas. if a virgin will truft,

Her own is the fault and the blame ; For the man who intends to be just, Will never feduce her to fhame.

II.

Life's little lamp, one tender beam,
To grief no more can fpare;
But faintly turns a dying gleam
On anguish and despair.

III.
Look down, unending fource of fate,
From yoa obedient fkies;
And O inftruct a wretch to hate
The fair he must despise.

IV.
Whatever tortures rend his breaft,
Whatever conflicts roll,
Teach him to tear her from his breaft,
And root her from his foul.

V.

Once pure as winter's whiteft fnow
She gave her facred vow!
Once pure as innocence--But, O
Juft heav'n, what is the now?

VI.

Then grant a wish, indulgent fate,
On which my heart is fet;
Or if I must not think to hate,
O let me but forget.

The Pope, who continues to employ him-

reformation of manners, has juft iffved an
ordinance, which profcribes, for ever, within
his dominions, the indecent outrage com-
mitted on young male fubjects, in order to
preferve their voices for the choir. However
the above unnatural practice may have hither-
to been tolerated, it is not likely that any
future pontiff will reverfe a pofitive ordinance
against it.
