The immortal hatred, which by turns Wakes and fleeps, with fury burns; New caufe of juft offence has Albion found, And lo! it bleeds afresh, the eternal wound. Tho' great in war, of skill poffeft, Tho' native courage fire their breaft With ardour for the public wea', One want, at leaft, our rivals feel; The want of freedom damps each generous aim, [the fame. Whoe'er the lord they ferve th'oppression is Power defpotic rarely knows, O happier far the well mix'd state, And finks the fceptre to the fpade! The ftroke which wounds the lowlieft clown And he attacks our rights who dares the throne invade. One common flame, one active foul Pervades and animates the whole; One heart, one hand directs the blow, And burls the vollied vengeance on the foe. PSALM 127, Ver. 3. IFE is a fpan, a fleeting hour, L' How foon the vapour flies; Death nips like winter's frozen arms, The once-lov'd form, now cold and dead, But wait the interpofing gloom, While dreft in beauties fairest bloom Hope looks beyond the bounds of time, And bloom to fade no more. Then cafe, fond nature, cease thy tears, And flow is that never die. Then, weeping parents, give your forrows o'er, Your children are not loft, but gone before. POETRY. 'Tis fhewn fo plain, that he who runs may read, But wilful ignorance remains deceiv'd. The fpiritual journey, readers, hence begin, And taught the way to glory keep therein; Shun thofe bye paths which furely lead to hell, Where wicked men in endless torments dwell; Shun ev'ry vice which Satan strives to lay As ftumbling blocks, to lead your fouls aftray; Torn net afide at tempting pleasure's call, But watch your goings daily, left you fall; And by this book forewarn'd of ev'ry fnare, Walk circumspectly, and proceed with care. Let good Evangelift point out your road, And lead you fafely thro' this world to God; Let bleffed Faithful † your companion prove, [move, In Jordan's ftream he will your fears reAnd land you, after death, in realms above.
