Nefcias an te generum beati
Phyllidis flave decorent parentes.
Regium certè genus & penates
Mæret iniquos.

V.

Crede non illam tibi de fceleftâ Plebe dilectam; neque fic fidelem, Sic lucro averfam potuiffe nafci Matre pudendâ.

VI.

Brachia, & vultum, teretèfque furas.
Integer laudo. Fuge fufpicari,
ujus octavum trepidavit ætas
Claudere luftrum.

CHRISTOPHORUS SMART

SAMUELI SAUNDERS, Col. Regal, S. P. D.

PHOEBUS & Liber, charitesque mecum

Nocte cœnabunt (ita fpondet Hermes)
Noftra fed prorfus, nifi te magiftro,

Attici dives venias leporis,

Poc'la recufant.

Non fine affueto venias cachinno, et
Blanda pinguedo explicitâ renidens

Fronte jocetur.

Georgium expecto, Salis architectum
Duplicis vafrum fatis, æmulofque
Spero vos inter fore nunc, ut olim,

Nobile bellum.

Dumque lucubrata per omne longi

Frigoris fæclum pueros tenellos

Alma nox pictas videt otiofos

Volvere chartas.

Proh pudor! devota lucro juventus (Ut puellarum numerus fenumque) Pallet infomnis repetita duri

Jurgia ludi.

Sperne

Sperne (nam multæ cerebrum Minervæ
Eft tibi) nugas age quæituofas,

Arduas, vanas, & amara curæ

Elue mecum.

Jam riget tellus, hyemantque menfes,
Veftra fed laurus vireat, tuisque

In genis dulcis rofa fanitatis.

Sera moretur.

THE

FAMOUS GENERAL EPITAPH

From DEMOSTHENES.

THESE for their country's caufe were fheath'd in

arms

And all bafe imputations dare defpife;
And nobly ftruck with GLORY's dreadful charms,
Made death their aim, eternity their prize.
For never could their mighty fpirits yield,

To see themselves and country-men in chains
And earth's kind bofom hides them in the field

;

Of battle, fo the WILL SUPREME ordains ; To conquer chance and error's not reveal'd, For mortals fure mortality remains.

Οΐδι πάτρας ἕνεκα σφετέρας εἰς δῆρίν "εθεντο
Οπλα καὶ 'αντιπάλων υβριν απεσκέδασαν ;
Μαρνάμενος δ' ἀρετῆς καὶ δείματος, ουκ έσθωσαν
Ψυκὰς, ἀλλ' ἀϊδην κοινον εθεντο βραβην

Δουλοςύνης στυγεραν ἀμφὶς ἔχωσιν ὕβριν.

Ούνεκεν Ελλήνων, ως μή ζυγόν αυχένι Θεντες,
Γαῖα δὲ πατρὶς ἔχει κόλποις τῶν πλεῖστα καμόντων
Σώματ' ἐπεὶ Θνητοῖς εκ Διὸς ἢδε κρίσις

Μηδὲν αμαρτεῖν ἐστι Θεων και πάντα κατορθοῦν
Ε ́ν βιοτῆ μοιραν δ' ούτι φυγεῖν απορεν.
