HEN firft Ellra's blooming fate
Surpris’d my dazzled bgbt,
\ wiOi’d, I ligh’d, J view’d cv’ry grace
. With won^r and delight.
In fuch a pleafing form I cry'd,
Sure all perief\ions meet :
I thought her handfom-—free from pridei
Fair, virtuous, and difereet.
But ibofi my judgment falfe I find.
Pride fweird her icornful breaft ;
Say—was (lie confiant as the wind-*
And was (he not the red i
Can godlike virtue be her guide.
Who turn with ev’ry wind ?
Or can diicretion reign where pride
Unbounded fways the mind f
Can (he lay claim to beauty’s powY^
W’bofc face is all her bead ?
Alas I Eliza is no more !
As foon as found (he’sioft.
Ixion thus his arms had caft
Arcuod his fleeting fair ;
His fancied Juno prov’d at laft
Delufive empty air.

when returning from war, proclaims
the lover and the hero in a manner rc-
xnarkable and concife : •
“ My beauteous love !
“ Two hours" after the arrival of
this courier, you will fee a cavalier
who loves yoUgmuch; they call him
JCingof France and Navarre, which
arc certainly honorable, though very
painful, titles ; that of being yourfub-
je6t is infinitely more delightful; all
three together are good; and let what
tvill happen, I have rcfolved never to
yield them to any one.”
N Irifli gentleman, in the warmth
of national veneration, was praif-
ing Ireland for the cheapnefs of pro-
vifions ; a falraon might be bought

for twopence.—And pray, fir, how
came you to leave fo cheap a coun
try ? “ Arrah ! Honey, but where

A new made Jufticc of the
Peace, in England, in order to
qualify himfelf for difeharging the du

law books, in one of which he found
an acf, infiidfing a penalty upon fuch
perfons as fhould “ Fir? any beacon^
which he unfortunately rend, Pry
any bacon.'* His worfliipj a few days
after this difeovery, riding through a
village, caught a poor woman in the
very aft of frying fome rafhers for her
dinner. Zealous to fulfill his duty,
he caufed her to be immediately ap
prehended and committed to prifon ;
at the next quarter feflion had her
brought forth and arraigned for that
offence, when an explanation took
place greatly at the cxpencc of his
worlhip'* erudition, and to the no
finall diverfion of a crouded court.
