(While dill your lamp was burning bright) ^
To dawn of day, from evening's clofe,
My pcnfive girl found no repolh.
When traveling o'er that lonely wav^,»
To roe your fev'rifli hand you gave.

religious after divine fervice, fuch as the
Dog and Duck, Bagnigge ^ Wells, &c.
The houfes in the city, the churches,
and the ftablcs were deferted. Mari
and horfe were out, all was gaiety,
mirth, and jollity , when lo ! a JJ^wer,
not having the fear of filks, muflins,
and fat citizens before its eyes, but mod
opportunely, and unpreparedly, did if-
fik forth from the clouds, and did wet,
foak, bedaub, deface, and obliterate all
the beauties of dicfs which wf^rc expo-
fed on the backs oflheaforefaid men,
women, and children, to the great de
triment of the good tempers, pleafant
Wilks, fine evenings, and fnug parties
of the faid men, women, and children.
Owing to, and by which means, the one
