CONSISTING OF A

SAMPLE OF SONNETS,

EPISTOLARY POEMS, MORAL TALES,

AND

MISCELLANEOUS PIECES.

BY THOMAS BECK,

AUTHOR OF

The Age of Frivolity; The Passions taught by Truth;

The Mission; and other Poems.

Old age explodes all but morality;
Austerity offends aspiring youth:
But he that joins instruction with delight,

Profit with pleasure, carries all the votes.

Horace's Art of Poetry, translated by Roscommon.
