PROLOGUE TO THE NEW COMEDY OF A CURE FOR THE HEART-ACHE ) WRITTEN BY T . W . FITZGERALD , ESQ . WHEN invalids possess both faith and
wealth . They'll find a nostrum to restore their health ;—A panacea advertised to cure Each ill the human body can endure ; But our bold author claims a nobler art , And advertises to relieve— -THE HUM . So many patients he expects to see , That I ' m appointed as his deputy .
Now , then , your mental ivaladies explain , And I'll remove , or mitigate the pain ; Dues Love or JeaLusy your peace molest , Hevenge inflame , Ambition gnaw your breast i ¦ For Jealousy , a sovereign balm behold , The husband ' s certain cure , a pill of gold ; This dose administer'd with prudent care ,
Dispels at once the frailties of the lair ; Deprives me Proctor of his crim-con fee , And times the chord that jars to harmony ; Should Love torment some Romeo ' s heated brain , Or agonize a Juliet ' s breast with pain , Let Them my potent remedy apply , [ sigh ; The maid shall cease to pine , the youth lo Gold shall restore each drooping lover ' s health , And passion find a substitute in wealth . But let not ill-tim'd ridicule degrade What Heaven , when well applied , a blessing
made . To foster merit wheresoever found , And with improvement cheer a country round ; To feed the hungry , and to clothe the poor , And sent ! the beggar happy from the dour ; To mitigate the horrors of despair , And make the family of want our care ; To succour genius drooping in distress ,
Waking Ihe business of onr lives— -to bl ? ss : When Ihe rich man can such employments find , V / e wish his purse as ample as his mind . I ' or one poor patient I ' ve an anxious fear , A-id you must be H is kind Physicians here : Our Author ha * to-night so much at stake , lie find- ; his throbbing heart inciin'd to ache ; But should his Play a liberal audience please , Your warm applause will set his heart at ease . VOL , viii ,
An Hymn On Masonry,
AN HYMN ON MASONRY ,
BV BROTHER LINNBCAR . LET there be lig ht ! the Almighty spoke , Refulgent streams from Chaos broke , T' illume the rising earth ! Well pleas'd the Great Jehovah stood , The Power Supreme pronoune'dit good , And gave the Planets birth 1 In choral numbers Masons join
. To bless and praise this Light Divine . Parent of lig ht ! accept our praise . Who shetl'st on us thv brightest rays—The light that fills the mind ! By choice selected , lo I we stand , By Friendship join'd , a mystic band That love , that aid mankind ! Iu choral numbers Masons join , _ ht Divmel
To bless and praise this Lig The Widow ' s tears we often dry , The Orphan ' s wants our hands supply , As far as pow ' r is giv ' n ; The naked clothe—the pris ' ner free- — These are thy works , sweet Charity ! Reveal'd to us From Heav ' n I In choral numbers Masons ; oin , To bless and praise this Light Divine !
