A CHARACTER.
Qui capit ille fac [?]

DAMON, a copying Miss, of Female Spight,
Cooly approves what others madly write;
Rears with a fost'ring Care each new born Lie,
And teaches Infant Scandal how to cry.
So huge a Beau e'en all Mankind must hate;
Monstrously fair, effeminately great :
Smit with himself, while others he pursues,
A dang'rous Rival to the Maid he woo's.
Tis neither Fish nor Flesh, nor Sir, nor Madam,
A Thing as yet unnam'd by Father ADAM.

LONDON, May 7.

To SYLVIA.

O SYLVIA ! your melodious Voice,
At which the list'ning Gods rejoice,
Would captivate still more,
Did not your heav'nly Charms invite
Our Senses, ravish'd with Delight,
To gaze, and to adore.

You to behold, at once, and hear,
Are Blessings for Mankind too dear;
For JOVE too great a Prize !
All that dare hear, in Love are all;
All that dare look, must Victims fall
To those all-conquering Eyes.

On the Uncertainty of the Sciences.

The Rest it seeks, in seeking dies,
And Doubts instead of Knowledge rise.

The VISITOR, NUMB. XCVI.
[From the PUBLIC LEDGER.]

A HUSBAND !

ODE to FANCY.

COME FANCY, from the mottled Sky,
In flowing Robes of various Dye,
Fair Child of Sense and Memory.

The limping Pace of Time forestall,
From pensive Sorrow strain the Gall,
And Scenes of Joy, elaps'd, recall.

Soft smiling by the Lover's Side,
Display the long-expected Bride,
In Bloom of Youth, and Beauty's Pride.

Elate as Hope, assur'd as Faith,
Tis thine to tread the dreary Path
That leads thro the still Shades of Death :

From dark Oblivion's Gulph to save
The Wife that moulders in the Grave,
The Friend that welters on the Wave.

The Father, Son, or Brother, slain
On Abram's Rocks, or Minden's Plain,
Thy Pow'r can raise to Life again.

Thy Flight nor Seas nor Skies can bound :
Thou, fearless, wing'st th' Abyss profound;
And soar'st aloft o'er Heaven's high Mound.

DAMON' and SYLVIA : A Pastoral.

DAMON.
COME, SYLVIA, to my Arms,
At last to Love he won;
Banish these false Alarms,
And do not Pleasure shun :
For this I vow sincerely,
(All to be vow'd by Man)
SYLVIA, I'll love you dearly,
As long ------
As long ------ as love I can

SYLVIA.
You Men, when most you're kind,
Still for a Change will plead;
And to Love's Feast we find
A tedious Fast succeed :
But this I vow sincerely,
(What shou'd to Man befall)
When you won't love me dearly,
Why then ----
Why then ---- another shall
