The FOURTH EPISTLE of the FIRST Book of SA HORACE's EPISTLES *. A MODERN IMITATION. AY †, St. John, who alone peruse *This fatire on Lord Bolingbroke, and the praise bestowed on him in a letter to Mr. Richardson, where Mr. Pope fays "The fons fhall blush their fathers were his foes;" being fo contradictory, probably occafioned the former to be fuppreffed. S. Ad ALBIUM TIBULLUM. † Albi, noftrorum fermonum candide judex, Quid nunc te dicam facere in regione Pedana? Scribere, quod Caffi Parmenfis opufcula vincat? An tacitam filvas inter reptare falubres ? Το To you (th' all-envy'd gift of Heaven) + What could a tender mother's care Amidst thy various ebbs of fear; That every day shall be your laft; In fpight of fears, of mercy fpight, My genius ftill must rail, and write. Di tibi formam, non deficiente crumena ? Inter fpem, curamque, timores inter & iras. Omnem crede diem tibi diluxiffe fupremum. Me pinguem, & nitidum bene curata cute vifes, Cum ridere voles Epicuri de grege porcum. Bb ?. 15 20 25 30 Hafte Hafte to thy Twickenham's fafe retreat, 35 CON CONTE TENT S OF THE SECOND VOLUME.
