High thoughts of Heaven I came to use.
With the devoutest care ; Which gay young Strephon made me lose, And all the raptures there.
He stood to hand me to my chair, And bow*d with courtly grace ; But whisper'd love into my ear.
Too warm for that grave place.
** Love, love," said he, "by all adored, My tender heart has won." But I grew peevish at the word, And bade he would be gone.
He went quite out of sight, while I A kinder answer meant ; Nor did I for my sins that day By half so much repent....
Unkftown, lyra Eltgantiarum, 1 1 1 CXLVI.
THE RETALIATION.
Of old, when Scarron his companions invited, Each guest brought bis dish, and the feast was united ; If our landlord supplies us with beef and with fish.
Let each guest bring himself, and he brings a good dish : Our Dean shall be venison, just fresh from the plains ; Our Burke shall be tongue, with a garnish of brains ; Our Will shall be wild fowl, of excellent flavour ; And Dick with his pepper shall heighten their savour : Our Cumberland's sweet-bread its place shall obtain, And Douglas is pudding, substantial and pUin : Our Garrick a salad, for in him we see Oil, vin^[ar, sugar, and saltness a^ree : To make out the dinner, full certam I am That Ridge is anchovy, and Reynolds is lamb ; That Hickey*s a capon ; and, by the same rule, Magnanimous Goldsmith a gooseberry-fooL At a dinner so various, at such a repast, • Who*d not be a glutton, and stick to the last !
