man,

its original from truth; as, on the contrary, there is
no vice which has not its beginning from a lie. Truth
is the foundation of all knowledge, and the cement of
all societies.- Casaubon.

MCCCXXII.
Our cider and Perry
Make a man mad, but not merry;

It makes people windmill-pated,
And with crackers sophisticated;

And your hops, yeast and malt,
When they're mingled together,

Makes our fancies to halt
Or reel any whither.
It stuffs up our brains with froth and with yeast,

That if one would write but a verse for a bellman,
He must study till Christmas for an eight shilling jest,
These liquors won't raise, but drown and o’erwhelm

On Canary-Brome.

MCCCXXIII.
Fear guides more to their duty than gratitude: for
one man who is virtuous from the love of virtue, from
the obligation which he thinks he lies under to the
Giver of all, there are ten thousand who are good only
from their apprehensions of punishment.--Goldsmith.

MCCCXXIV.
Well the learned and the judicious know,
That satire scorns to stoop so meanly low,
As any one abstracted fop to show.
For, as when painters form a matchless face,
They from each fair one catch some different grace;
And shining features in one portrait blend,
To which no single beauty must pretend:
So poets oft do in one piece expose
Whole belles assemblees of coquets and beaux.
Epilogue to the Way of the World.-Congreve.

how infinite in faculties! in form, in moving, how ex-

MCCCXXVI.
Give me a look, give me a face,
That makes simplicity a grace;
Robes loosely flowing, hair as free:
Such sweet neglects more taketh me,
Than all the adulteries of art;
They strike mine eyes, but not mine heart.

Ben Jonson.
