AMEN ON OBSERVING TWO OF THE KING'S HORSES DEGRADED TO THE LOW OCCUPATION OF DRAWING A HACKNEY COACH.* F ROM the age of old Adam the horse has been made The painter's delight and the poet's bright theme; Each faculty prais'd, and extoll'd to the fkiesFrom his hoofs to his haunches, his ears and his eyes, By fculptors in granite and marble array'd. And with heroes recorded by fame. E'en kings to the horse have their patronage granted, From the horse that the hero of Macedon bore Now, doom'd in his age to perpetual toil, But, from fringes of gold, and from trappings of state, S. P. H. *The circumftance attended to in the prefent article was by many perfons converted into a charge of want of feeling against the moft illuftrious perfonage in the kingdom. We are happy to have feveral anecdotes to relate of an oppofite tendency. His M- obferving one day while hunting the ftag, that a nobleman was abfent, who generally diftinguished himself upon fuch occafions, eagerly alked what was become of him. He was told that his abfence was attributable to the want of his horfes, which the derangement of his finances had compelled him to fell.-Oh! anfwered the K-tell him he must come: no hunt without H-; no hunt without H-. The next hunting day, the nobleman to whom this had been reported, appeared on a borrowed steed; but was prevented from again having recourfe to his friends, by a prefent of 1000l. given him by his M— to buy a horfe. To another nobleman in diftrefs his Mis faid to have prefented a fum of three times that amount. An inftance of his feeling may also be drawn from the commiferation he expreffes for the first city magiftrates, when relating the circumstances of his first visit to St. Pauls. "It was a very bad day-a very bad indeed. And there was the poor dear Lord Mayor on one of my caft horfes with the rain pouring down upon his fine cloak and wig. I was grieved for him--grieved for him-very much grieved indeed. POLITICAL PP MARAT. POLITICAL ECLOGUE, WITH VARIATIONS, IMITATIONS, AND NOTES, CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY. THE ARGUMENT. ROSE and BURGESS, two celebrated directors of the Minifterial Journals, and occafionally given to writing in them, meet and lament the death of MARAT. The one regrets the mischief which their caufe may fuftain by his untimely lofs; the other confoling himfelf with the memory of the good he has already done it, decrees him immortal honours. ROSE.

Verfe 1.] Knight of the Catgut! Oily Chief of Men! This introductory addrefs from the Secretary to his poctical comrade is highly interefting; and principally fo because it brings the reader acquainted at once with the various avocations of that very diftinguished character. The Mufician, the Pickle-man, and the Paragraph-writer, burft upon us at one and the fame moment! We trust that the doubts which have arifen with refpect to the original purfuits of the Under-Secretary, will be now entirely done away by this decifive teftimony of his friend and companion. Oily Ghief of Men.] A very poetical phrafe for an eminent oilman! The expreffion is Greek. Mr. ROSE feems on this occafion to have had in his eye the 'Ava and of Homer. Some indeed, have attributed the whole of thefe two lines to Lord BELGRAVE. Apt Apt is the time, illuftrious is the theme, BURGFSS. 10 MAWBEY, bafe loon! dare he with me contend? What will not next thefe fow-gelders pretend! Now, now 'tis plain, rank envy fir'd his breast, Me with mock fondness when he thus addreft: "Rafh youth! in vain to lucklefs rhyme betray'd, 15 "Leave not the pickle for the tuneful trade, "Lo, ambush'd criticks haunt the doubtful way; Not thy own acid half fo fharp as they !

Accordingly we may obferve, that in this place he makes a fudden tranfition to the beautiful verfes of VIRGIL on the death of PALLAS, in the eleventh Æneid. Non hæc o Palla! dederas promiffa parenti Cautius, &c. &c. With artful counfel thus my ears he crams, I fmoaked his drift-but would not smoak his hams. ROSE.

NOTES. Ver. 24.] Ifmoaked his drift, but would not smoke his hams.
