Shall my words, tipt with flattery, prepare

A kind exertion of your tend'reft care? Shall I prefent our Author to your fight, All pale and trembling for his fate this night?

Shall I folicit the most pow'rful arms To aid his caufe-the force of Beauty's charms?

Or tell each critic his approving tafte Muft give the sterling stamp, wherever plac'd?

This might be done-But so to seek applaufe,

Argues a confcious weakness in the caufe. No-let the Mufe in fimple truth appear, Reason and Nature are the judges here: If by their ftrict and felf-defcribing laws,

The fev'ral characters to-night the draws; If from the whole a finifh'd piece is made, On the true principles of light and fhade: Struck with the harmony of just defign, Your eyes-your ears,-your hearts will all combine

To grant applaufe:-but if a dauber's hand

Grofs difproportion marks in motley band, If the group'd figures falfe connections show, [glow, And glaring colours without meaning Your wounded feelings, turn'd a diff'rent

way,

New.

To Candour then he'll chearfully fubmit; She reigns in boxes, galleries, and pit.

A PASTORAL.
Tetum his daily care,
HE Sun, preceded by his train,
Reium'd
When Chloe, the fong of ev'ry fwain,

Went out to take the air.

The world feem'd yet in filence hush'd,
Sleep held the bustling croud;

Sol faw the maid, he finil'd—and blush'd,
Then kulk'd behind a cloud.
Zephyrus, bounding from his cave,
The virgin ran to meet,
And, pliant as an am'rous flave,
E'en kifs'd her agile feet.
The flocks, in innocence array'd,
Beheld her as their Queen;
And, gathering round the lovely maid,
Stood wond'ring at her mien.
The chearful herald of the morn,
With rapture fwell'd his notes;
And birds that perch'd on ev'ry thorn,
Now train'd their little throats.
A butterfly that flaunted round,

(Gay Prince of winged beaux)
Upon her lips a treasure found,
More fragrant than the rofe.
The florid Hebe chanc'd to pass,
As Chloe fat on the green;
And vow'd, that in her wat'ry glass
The very form the'd feen.
Young Damon by a bramble bush,
Sat wounded in his mind:
He faw the maid, and with a blush,
Thus mutter'd in the wind:
"If e'er, ye gods, within me rife
"A with for aught below:
"'Tis only this-keep ye the skies,
"And give me yonder Chloe."

Within my arms- -but foon
The dream went off, and there was I
Just by myself alone.
