Pàgina 4 - The luft of Lucre, and the dread of Death. In vain to Deferts thy retreat is made ; The Mufe attends thee to thy filent made : 'Tis hers, the brave man's lateft fteps to trace, Rejudge his acts, and dignify difgrace. 30 When Int'reft calls off all her fneaking train, And all th...
Pàgina 54 - Mock the grave phrenzy of the chymic fool: But know, ye fair, a point conceal'd with art, The Sylphs and Gnomes are but a woman's heart : The Graces stand in sight; a Satyr train Peep o'er their heads, and laugh behind the scene.

" "Tis well," the gallant cries again, " We fairies never injure men Who dare to tell us true. " Exalt thy love-dejected heart, Be mine the task, or ere we part, To make thee grief resign ; Now take the pleasure of thy chaunce ; Whilst I with Mab, my part'ner, daunce, Be little Mable thine.

Pàgina 12 - Helicon forbore to flow ; The sky grew bright; and (if his verse be true) The Muses came to give the laurel too. But what avail'd the verdant prize of wit, If love swore vengeance for the tales he writ ?
