No fermons in their churches heard,
From decent rites they vary,
For hums and haws of picked beard,
And pray'rs extemporary.

Mean while, what is't the townsmen do,

Amidst these reformations ?
But madly with the faints purfue
Their fanctify'd mutations.

Thus whilft the mountain's bringing forth,
They lift their horns with gladnefs,
But foon difdain the foolish birth,

And bite their thumbs for madness.

The world's great ornament, alas!
The age's pride and honour:
O tell me! how it comes to pafs,

The fame's the fame no longer.

For, as 'tis faid, 'twas once made known,
By fome old dreaming author,
Oxford fhould not in Oxford town,
Be found by those that fought her.

LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.

W HEN the late Gilbert

Wakefield published his proposals for a Greek and English Lexicon, a gentleman who had for a considerable time been employed on a similar work, de-sisted from his labour, on the supposition that Mr. Wakefield's book was ready for the press. But as it appears that he had not proceeded much farther in the collection of materials than his interleaved Hedericus, which has been destroyed by fire; the abovementioned gentleman has now resumed his original intention, and will in a short time present to the public, a copious

and accurate Greek and English Lexicon.

The Rev. Mr. Mitchell's Treatise on the uses of the Greek definitive Article will soon be published, in one large volume, in octavo.

The Works of the late celebrated Dr. Kirwan, dean of Killala, are preparing for the press, and are expected to appear in London in the course of this winter.
