" I'll scalp that bailiff— lacrifice-p'' In vain To rave at mischief, if the cause remain.
O days long lost to man in each degree !
The golden days of hospitality !
When liberal fortunes vied with liberal strife To fill the noblest offices of life ; [gate When Wesdth was Virtue's handmaid, and her Gave a free refuge from the wrodgs of fate ; The poor at hand their natural patrons saw.
And lawgivers were supplements of law.
Lost are those days, and Fashion's boundless Has home the guardian magis
...trate away: [sway Save in Augusta's streets, on Gallia's shoie.
The rural patron is beheld no more.
No more the poor his kind protection share.
Unknown their wants, . and unredeiv'd their pray'r.
