Strana 140 - Here let those reign, whom pensions can incite To vote a patriot black, a courtier white ; Explain their country's dear-bought rights away, And plead for * pirates in the face of day ; With slavish tenets taint our poison'd youth, And lend a lie the confidence of truth.
Strana 18 - There are a sort of men, whose visages Do cream and mantle like a standing pond; And do a wilful stillness entertain, With purpose to be dress'd in an opinion Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit; As who should say, ' I am Sir Oracle, And, when I ope my lips, let no dog bark!
Strana 141 - If solid happiness we prize, Within our breast this jewel lies; And they are fools who roam : The world has nothing to bestow ; From our own selves our joys must flow, And that dear hut, our home.
Strana 97 - France the mimick, and of Spain the prey. All that at home no more can beg or fteal, Or like a gibbet better than a wheel ; Hifs'd from the ftage, or hooted from the- court, Their air, their drefs, their politicks, import ; 15 Obfequious, artful, voluble, and gay, On Britain's fond credulity they prey.
Strana 139 - But all whom hunger spares, with age decay: Here malice, rapine, accident, conspire, And now a rabble rages, now a fire; Their ambush here relentless ruffians lay, And here the fell attorney prowls for prey; Here falling houses thunder on your head, And here a female atheist talks you dead.

Strana 98 - Your tafte in fnuff, your judgment in a whore; Can Balbo's eloquence applaud, and fwear He gropes his breeches with a monarch's air. For arts like thefe preferr'd, admir'd, carefs'd, They firft invade your table, then your breaft; * Explore your fecrets with infidious art, Watch the weak hour, and ranfack all the heart; Then foon your ill-plac'd confidence repay, Commence your lords, and govern or betray.
Strana 140 - But here more slow, where all are slaves to gold, Where looks are merchandise, and smiles are sold; Where won by bribes, by flatteries implor'd, The groom retails the favours of his lord. But hark! th...
