Poetry.
Let this auspicious day be crown'd , That gave our Royal Hero birth , Through Britain's shores let joy resound With every sign of grateful mirth . For well he claims your high applausft , Who thus asserts Britannia ' s cause . While France sinks in her children ' blood
s , To Order and to Right a foe , May we still boast in GEORGE THE GOOD , Nor greater Freedom wish to know . Britannia joys whene'er we sing With heart and voice Good save the King
Sympathy To Delia.
SYMPATHY TO DELIA .
BY DR . WILLIAM PERFCT . JJLJNSHRIN'D in your bosom of snow Is a sweet little cherub , my dear ; 'Tis SYMPATHY call'dand we
know-, It brightens HUMANITY ' S Tear . 'Tis a guest the most lovely and fair That Heav ' n can on mortals bestow ; It pilots the Pilgrim of Care Repulsive of Sorrow and Woe . Poor pale-ey'd Distress I descried , And Merit bed
on Misery ' s , JBy Opulence surely denied A scrap of superfluous bread 1 Then I saw her , Dove-sembled , descend To visit this scene of distress , Benevolence sweetly extend , And Merit , so wretched , caress .
Thus the first lucid dawnings of Morn , Pervade Nature ' s mantle so dark , And kindle o ' er landskips forlorn , Of Light and of Life the warm , spark .
An Impromptu.
AN IMPROMPTU .
Written with a pencil , on the Girdle of a Lady , justly admired for the accomplishments of her Mind , and the exquisiteness of her Person . CONTEMPLATE all above this Zone , And Heav'nfy pleasures know ; While all the joys that earth can own > Have fix'd their seat below . Svansta , August , 1703 . A \ V ,
