FORTITUDE.

PERILS, and Misfortunes, and Want, and Pain, and Injury, are more or less the certain Lot of every Man that cometh into the World.
It behoveth thee, therefore, O Child of Calamity ! early to fortify thy Mind with Courage; and Patience, that thou mayest support, with a becoming Resolution, thy allotted Portion of human Evil.
As the Camel beareth Labour, and Heat, and Hunger, and Thirst, thro' Desarts of Sand, and fainteth not; so the Fortitude of a Man shall sustain him thro' all Perils.
A noble Spirit disdaineth the Malice of Fortune; his Greatness of Soul is not to be cast down.
He hath not suffer'd his Happiness to depend on her Smiles, and therefore with her Frowns he shall not be dismayed.
As a Rock on the Sea-shore he standeth firm, and the Dashing of the Waves disturbeth him not.
He raiseth his Head like a Tower on an Hill, and the Arrows of Fortune drop at his Feet.
In the Instant of Danger, the Courage of his Heart sustaineth him, and the Steadiness of his Mind beareth him out.
He meeteth the Evils of Life as a Man that goeth forth unto Battle, and returneth with Victory in his Hand.
Under the Pressure of Misfortune, his Calmness alleviates their Weight, and his Constancy shall surmount them.
But the dastardly Spirit of a timorous Man betrayeth him to Shame.
By shrinking under Poverty, he stoopeth down to Meanness; and by tamely bearing Insults he inviteth Injuries.
As a Reed is shaken with the Breath of the Air; so the Shadow of Evil maketh him tremble.
In the Hour of Danger he is embarrars'd and confounded; in the Day of Misfortune he sinketh, and Despair overwhelmeth his Soul.

The TRIPLE MARRIAGE:
A NOVEL.

On Mr. PITT's RESIGNATION.

WHENCE does the Gaul exult ? Can BROGLIO boast
: At length one Battle not entirely lost ?
Or has the Spaniard their Alliance join'd ?
Alas ! much worse - Our PATRIOT has resign'd.

A LOVE ELEGY.
The POET bids FAREWEL to hisMISTRESS.

IMPERIOUS Love, whose secret Fire
Long Time has prey'd upon my Breast,
Each Wish presents, each vain Desire,
In Fancy's gaudiest Colours drest:

But stern impartial Reason cries,
Thy self-deceiving Hopes resign;
Deluded Wretch ! Suppress thy Sighs,
Nor dare in secret Thought repine.

THOU artless Fair One, Mistress, Friend,
Thou first and best belov'd farewel !
What Griefs my Heart at parting rend
Let Tears and broken Murmurs tell.

With thee I hop'd, ah flattering Dream !
To taste the Sweets that never cloy;
But Fate o'erturn'd each airy Scheme
Of social Peace, and guiltless Joy.

O come, Religion, to my Aid,
And sooth my anguish'd Soul to Rest;
Bid me forget the lovely Maid,
Bid me forget I once was blest.

Farewel, thy Sex's noblest Pride !
O may my happy Rival's Love,
Crown'd with Success to mine deny'd,
Like mine sincere and constant prove.

Why weep for me ? At Heav'ns Command
Soon shall I sink to soft Repose,
And soon shall Death with pitying Hand
This Scene of Grief and Folly close.

No more, with silent Pleasure sir'd,
These Eyes upon thy Charms shall gaze,
No more, my Tongue, by Love inspir'd,
Delightful Talk ! thy Virtues praise.

The dear Companions of my Youth
Shall oft my hapless Love relate,
Shall praise my Constancy and Truth,
My Frailties mourn and early Fate.

A Funeral REFLECTION.

BEHOLD ! how quiet there old GRIPUS lies !
The Shroud and Coffin now is all his Store.
His Brain no longer rack'd with endless Schemes,
How to add House to House and Land to Land.
His Tongue harangues not on the frugal Ways
And artful Methods that he took to thrive.
His Heart now beats now more : Clos'd are those Eyes,
That heretofore with eager Transport view'd
The shining Metal into Mountains rise,
But never knew to shed one pitying Tear.
Those Hands, so ready and expert to count
Int'rest on Int'rest nor ore Farthing miss,
Lie useless by his Side, the Nerves relax'd;
Fill them with Gold, alas! they will not clench.
His Feet, so swift in the Pursuit of Gain,
Now here, now there, as Bargains led the Way,
A Thread of Worsted fast as Iron binds.
Within the Limits of four scanty Boards
See, see the Man, whose daring Genius grasp'd
At large Domains and immense Sums of Cash.
Mortal, reflect, reckon aright, be wise,
And bound thy Wishes to the Human Span,
Since to command one Hour is not in Gold.
