FOR THE YEAR M,DCC,Xovi. BY HENRY JAMES PYZ, ESQ. POET LAUREAT. Where is immortal Virtue's meed,

Th' unfading wreath of true renown,
Beft recompence by Heaven decreed'

For all the cares that wait a crown;
If Industry, with anxious zeal,
Still watchful o'er the public weal;
If equal Juftice awful arm,
Temper'd by Mercy's feraph charm,
Are ineffectual to affuage

Remorseless Faction's harpy rage?
But the fell dæmons, urg'd by hell's behest,
Threaten, with frantic arm, the Royal Pa-
triot's breaft!

The broken ftaft that coward Malice rear'd

Shall to thy fame eternal luftre give, Infcribe on hift'ry's page thy name rever'd,

And bid it there with endless blazon live.

For there our fons remotest race

In deathlefs characters fhall trace, How Britain's baffled foes proclaim'd their hate,

And deem'd her Monarch's life the bulwark of the state;

Now ftrike a livelier chord-This happy day,

Selected from the circling year,

To celebrate a name to Britain dear. From Britain's Sons demands a festive

lay. ༔***I.

Mild Sov'reign of our Monarch's foul.
Whofe eye's meek radiance can controul
The pow'rs of care, and grace a throne,
With each calma joy to life domeftic
known, 1)

Propitious Heav'n has o'er thy head
Bloffoms of richer fragrance fhed
Than all th' affiduous Mufe can bring,
Cull'd from the honey'd stores of Spring:
For fee, amid wild Winter's hours,
A bud its filken folds difplay.
Sweeter than all the chalic'd flow'rs
That crown thy own ambrofial May.
O may thy fmiles, bleft infant, prove
Omens of Concord, and of Love,
Bid the loud ftrains of martial triumph ccafe,
And tune to fofter mood the warbling recd
of Peace...

CALLER

le times o' dearth fock fuid be tenty; But the' you o' your purse be scanty, You now may get a dish fu' dainty, an' nae be sparin,

For weel awat there is great plenty
o' caller herrin.

Poor fock are now weel aff I trow,
Sin' they wi' them can prie their mu' ;
Nane, I am fure, for hunger now

need try the thievin,

They'l maift for naething get enew
o' herrin livin.

When things are got at fick cheap rate,
Some fock o' them foon lofe conceit,
But troth I think that they're nae blate,
but unco darin,

That wad despise the bleflin great
o' caller herrin.

THE Drama done, permit us now to say Something about or not about the PlayGood fubject ours! rare times! when Specu Lation

Engroffes every fubject of the nation. To ferve the ftate-Jews, Gentiles, all are willing,

And for the omnium venture their laft failling;

Nay fome fubfcribe their thousands to the loan,
Without a fingle fhilling of their own.
Be this their Speculation, I profefs
To fpeculate in one thing only-DRESS:
Show me your garments, Gents and Ladies fair,
I'll tell you whence you came, and who you

"Bad Speculation, Bet, fo far to roam,
Black-legs go out, and jail-birds now come
home."

That ftripling there, all trowfers and cravat
No body, and no chin, is call'd a fiat ;
And he befide him, in the straight cut frock
Button'd before, behind a fquare cut dock,
Is, I would bet, nor fear to be a lofer,
Either a man of fashion or a bruiser.
A man of faftion-nothing but a quiz-
I'll fhew you what a man of breeding is.
With back to chair, flouch'd hat, and vulgar
flang,

He charms his miftrefs with this fweet harangue :

"What lovely, charming Kitty-how d'ye

We view'd with mingled fcorn and hate;
In whofe fharp words, or fharper face,
With thoughtlefs mirth, we lov'd to trace
The fad effects of--Thirty-cight!
"Till, fadd'ning-fick'ning at the view,
We learn'd to dread what time might do;
And then preferr'd a pray'r to Fate,
To end our days ere thar arriv'd,
When (pow'r and pleafare long furviv'd)
We meet neglect, and-Thirty-eight!
But time, in fpite of withes, flies;
And Fate our fimple pray'r denies,
And bids us death's own hour await!
The auburn locks are mixt with grey,
The tranfient rofes fade away,
But reafon comes at-Thirty-eight!
Her voice the anguish contradicts,
That dying vanity inflicts
Her hand new pleafures can create:
For us fhe opens to the view
Profpects lefs bright, but far more true,
And bids us fmile at-Thirty-eight;
No more shall scandal's breath destroy
The focial converfe we enjoy,
With bard or critic, tête-à-tête.-

O'er youth's bright blooms her blight fhall

pour,

But fpare th' improving friendly hour Which science gives to-Thirty-eight!

Stript of their gaudy hues by truth,
We view the glitt'ring toys of youth,
And blush to think how poor the bait
For which to public fcenes we ran,
And fcorn'd of fober sense the plan
Which gives content at-Thirty-eight!
O may her bleflings now arife,
Like stars that mildly light the fkies,
When the fun's ardent rays abate!
And, in the luxuries of mind-
In friendship, fcience-may we find
Increafing joys at Thirty-cight!
Tho' time's inexorable fway
For other wreaths 'tis not too late:
Has torn the myrtle bands away,-
The am'ranth's purple glow furvives,
And ftill Minerva's olive thrives
On the calm brow of Thirty-eight!
With eye more steady, we engage
To contemplate approaching age,
And life more juftly estimate.
With firmer fouls and stronger pow'rs,
With reafon, faith, and friendhip, ours,
We'll not regret the ftealing hours
That lead from Thirty e'en to Forty-eight!

LOOKE and bowe downe thyne ear, oh Lord;

From thy bryght fhryne behould, and fee The handmayde and thy handy worke Emong thy preefts, ofering to thee, Have for incenfe reaching the thyes MyLife and Septer facrifice.

My foule afcend his halie hill,,

Aferibe his ftrength, and fing him praife, For be refrayneth Princes priths,

And hath done wonders in my days;

He made the winds and waters rife
To fcatter all myne enemyes.
This Jofeph's Lord and Ifraell's God,
The fyre piller and dries clowde
That faves his fainctes from wicked men,
And drencht the power of the prowde,
And hath preferved with tender love
The fpirit of his turtle dove.

ON WINTER. 115 KEEN is the cutting wind; fierce Winter hoar

Grafps Nature in his killing cold embrace; Submifs and tame is every beast of chace,

And cach fweet bird forgets its dulcet lore; Humble and homely round the cottage door They fluttering croud, though late fo wild and fay;

And pity's tribute withfully implore From thofe in happier days they wont to fly. So can Misfortune low the proudest creft;

Shew Arrogance and Folly what they are; Strike deep inftruction to Prefumption's bread,

And Vice and Pleasure's baited hook lay bare.

But oh, hard teacher! tho' the Paffions fly, With them all Genius' fire, all Fancy's glories die!
