Strana 12 - Then art did all the bright machines difpofe, And theatres of Parian marble rofe, Then mimic thunder fhook the canvafs fky, And Gods defcended from their tow'rs on high. With caution now let every youth prepare To choofe a partner from the mingled fair ; Vain would be here th...
Strana 243 - Nor luft, nor wine, impair the fprings of life. Him Fortune cannot fink, nor much elate, Whofe views extend beyond this mortal ftate ; By age when fummon'd to refign his breath, Calm, and ferene, he fees approaching death, As the fafe port, the peaceful filent...
Strana 259 - Ihort, they are fit only to be inhabitants of Lubberland, where, as the child's geography informs us, men lie upon their backs with their mouths open, and it rains fat pigs, ready roafted.

None wou'd hereafter then with groundless fear Describe th...

Strana 8 - ITALIA'S charms ; BRITANNIA juftly glories to have found Lands unexplor'd, and fail'd the globe around : But none will fure prefume to rival FRANCE, Whether fhe forms, or executes the dance ; To her exalted genius 'tis we owe The fprightly Rigadoon and Louvre flow, The Boree, and Courant unpraftis'd long, Th...
