A Poetical Reverie On The Gout.
Thus , agoniz'd , the trembling Patient cried : The Gout responds , ' Endure my galling chains ' Wisdom , Philosophy , I both deride , ' And all each painted gallipot contains . e Go , call your Doctor ; bring him in his coach 5 ' My honours , my dominions , I'll defend :
' My steady visits serve but to reproach ' His , which so often ineffectuaf end . e I fearless seize upon the imperial throne , ' While trembling courtiers at a distance stand 5 c And pierce the senses , to the nerve and bone ; , ' Of those who thousands with a nod command .
• See yonder Judge , in supercilious state ! ' And , while in judgment sits the awful sage , ' I mitigate th' impending stroke of Fate , ' And warn him to decide from Mercy ' s page . * How ought you , then , to hail a guest like me ? * Cries Consternationwith her haggard
, eyes , ' O what a condescension !—obligee ! * ' How ought you , Man , this visitant to prize ? * And do I not ? ' the anxious Patient cried ; ' But why desert the palace for my cot ? * I FEEL the honour ; and , with that supplied , ' In future beg I may be quite forgot . ?
On Seeing A Very Sensible Woman Weeping, With A Beautiful Child At Her Side, In The Same Situation.
ON SEEING A VERY SENSIBLE WOMAN WEEPING , WITH A BEAUTIFUL CHILD AT HER SIDE , IN THE SAME SITUATION .
BY THE SAME .. SENSIBILITY ! ' bright spark of heav ' nly birth ,-That marks the soul in all its native worth ,-When Celia wept , I saw thee sit enshriu'd , In ev ' falling tear express her mind :
ry And , when she wept not , thy affe £ tions more Spoke from her eyes , than in her tears before ,-See , too , her tender Pledge of widow'd love , Mild in her aspect as the turtle dove , Child of her heart , whose damask cheeks disclosft ' The tears like dew-drops on the jnorning rose .
