Shall my words, tipt with flattery, prepare A kind exertion of your tend'reft care? Shall I prefent our Author to your fight, All pale and trembling for his fate this night? Shall I folicit the most pow'rful arms To aid his caufe-the force of Beauty's charms? Or tell each critic his approving tafte Muft give the sterling stamp, wherever plac'd? This might be done-But so to seek applaufe, Argues a confcious weakness in the caufe. No-let the Mufe in fimple truth appear, Reason and Nature are the judges here: If by their ftrict and felf-defcribing laws, The fev'ral characters to-night the draws; If from the whole a finifh'd piece is made, On the true principles of light and fhade: Struck with the harmony of just defign, Your eyes-your ears,-your hearts will all combine To grant applaufe:-but if a dauber's hand Grofs difproportion marks in motley band, If the group'd figures falfe connections show, [glow, And glaring colours without meaning Your wounded feelings, turn'd a diff'rent way, Will juftly damn-th' Abortion of a play. As Farquhar has obferv'd our English law, [draw, Like a fair fpreading oak, the Mufe should By fmiling Equity and Wifdom made For Honefty to thrive beneath its shade; Yet from its boughs fome reptiles shelter find, Dead to each nobler feeling of the mind, Who thrive, alas! too well, and never ceale To prey on Juftice, Property, and Peace. At fuch to-night, with other legal game, Our vent'rous author takes fatiric aim; And brings, he hopes, originals to view, Nor pilfers from th' Óld Magpie, nor the New. To Candour then he'll chearfully fubmit; She reigns in boxes, galleries, and pit. A PASTORAL. Went out to take the air.
