Great things are, and must be expected at that time; and though numbers may carry it, yet I really think truth and a minority, will, in time, pull villains from their lurking places; and lay fuch facts before us, as a British nation has a right to demand. Admiral Byng felt this. A Without mentioning names, hope all those will feel it, who were tardy and treacherous in an affair, where not only a million has been wantonly diffipated, but the honour of a kingdom shamefully blown upon, without a chance of ever recovering it; even tho' Pt, like a polypus, fhould be cut B into a majority, and to effect it, reprefent fo many boroughs.

The winter is almost begun the year 1757 was to have been (if certain folks were to be believed) the greateft for the honour of Great Britain, that has been known for many years; there are hopes still left, that the year 1758 may be fo; and why?

Now, now the note the fwells, and fings of
[warms!
Heav'ns! how the nobler air my fpirit
I feel, I feel my courage glow,

And rush in thought to meet the foe.
Methinks I fee the martial plain
Enfanguin'd o'er with heaps of flain:
Heroes and fteeds in wild confusion roll,
And terrors feize on all but Fred'rick's daring
foul.

See! while the goddess plays, around her
throng

The joy-ftruck quadrupeds to hear the fong,
Delighted neighs the conscious freed;
The hungry bull forgets to feed ;
Yon ftag is tame. The dappl'd fawns
Exult, and bound along the lawns.
Enamour'd echo in the distant vale,
Answers her fifter's voice in ev'ry foften'd
gale.

No more the fierce-ey'd tyger threatens harm,
But lays him down, and liftens to the charm:
Nor lefs the lion 'bates his rage;
(Such pow'r has Musick to asswage)
The rav'nous wolves let loose their prey;
Her impulfe furious pards obey.

The crawling adder too, at her command,
Puts forth his harmlefs tongue to lick her
tuneful hand.

And foars to her cœleftial throne again.
Oh! all ye flatt'ring founds, adieu!
The change is felt all nature through. i

To ftain the products of the year;
And now they burft-Loud thunder tears

[the weeping eye.
And nought, but gloom oppreffive, ftrikes

An EPISTLE from S. SPINTEXT, Curate in a
Village near London, to bis Friend R. SAY-
GRACE in the fame Office, in a diftant County.

WHEN you prevented Tuesday's fun,

And fought with health-inspiring gun

For exercife and food:

If game ingrofs'd not all your care,
You might observe a sweeter air,
Perfume each field and wood.
You might (fo true friends, fympathize)
See Phoebus with prophetick rife,

Defcribe a golden fhow'r :
Oh be that day rever'd by me!
Few, very few, glad days there be,
Fraught with fuch annual store.
Full thirty powerful fterling pound,
A fum alas! but rarely found,

In hapless curate's charge:
Since wedded to the church I've been,
Of my own cafh, till then I've seen,
No fum by half fo large,

J ne'er have feen, for but to fee,
Is all remains for me and thee,

To day the vifion flies :

A crown a week, for lodging here,
(And that, not deem'd exceffive dear).
My landlord's fuff'rance buys.
To thirteen pounds thus flept away,
Another item let me fay,

Viz. laundrefs four pounds four;
To fire and candle three pounds three,
Then the remaining fum will be,

Nine pounds 13-no more.

But oh! an item there remains,
Which mocks the frugal curate's paine,
And leaves him quite to feek:
For tho' the 'fquire's all-plenteous board,
A Sunday's dinner doth afford,
Yet who can fait a week,

To go to work the nearest way,
My landlord I agreed to pay,

Six-pence for ev'ry meals"
