Is then the final page before me spread,
Nor further outlet left to mind or heart?
Presumptuous Book! too forward to be read-
How can I give thee license to depart?
One tribute more;-unbidden feelings start
Forth from their coverts-slighted objects rise-
My Spirit is the scene of such wild art
As on Parnassus rules, when lightning flies,
Visibly leading on the thunder's harmonies.
II.

All that I saw returns upon my view,

All that I heard comes back upon my ear,
All that I felt this moment doth renew;
And where the foot with no unmanly fear
Recoil'd-and wings alone could travel-there
I move at ease, and meet contending themes
That press upon me, crossing the career
Of recollections vivid as the dreams
Of midnight-cities-plains-forests-and mighty

streams!

BY MR NORTH.

I.

Is then the final sheet before me laid?
No further space, if 'twere but for Balaam?
Thou skittish, though sexagenarian, maid,
Maga! can nought detain thee, shirk or sham?
One kiss one page-a thousand things ram-stam
Rush to my tongue-tip-lots of topics rise,
My spirit is the scene of such hot cram
As when some blunderer's tourniquet upties
Some apoplectic cit, who, if he bleed not, dics.
II.

All I have said, at leisure I review,

The hum of public speech is in mine ear;
Yet what I felt when Whigs first croak'd is new,
Ne'er from that rump my foot with "pluckless"
fear

Recoil'd:-where Whigs alone once travell'd-there
I, starting like a Jehu, smash'd their teams;
Therefore, they follow, cursing the career,
Which shew'd that all their trophies were but
dreams,

And fill'd the turf where once they lorded it with

screams.

III.

Where some folks searce durst look, I dared to sit, What they thought Alps were anthills to my view.

I pounded Whiggery's drivelling power: Whigs fret;

So well beseems a wretched residue,
Whose only business is to perish: True
To which sure fate these cudgell'd sons of crime
Labour themselves, in blindness, for their due;
Writhing and clamouring still (in prose and
rhyme)-

While my huzza of scorn resounds from clime to clime.

IV.

The Muse hath wove for me a Cat-o-nine,"
To cross thy huge posteriors, Roaring Cant!

Rope that here rings upon the brazen chine
Below Lord Archy, Hume, and J. P. Grant.
There on still frailer stuff its coil doth plant,
The secondary rump that wears no veil,
Groaning with Revolutionary rant,
One lump of Folly bellowing with Jones (Gale,)
Round Cockaigne's paper crown, and Morgan and
her Male.

V.

Far as from Holland-house to Chelsea hulks,
Ay, or New-Holland, my keen eye can range,
And CANT that crows aloud, and CANT that
skulks,

(As in dumb dogs the stink detects the mange,)
Lie clear beneath my glance-in jumble strange,
Whigs, Radicals, to Treason's utmost bound-
Jeffs, Hones, in amicable interchange,
But hush! I'll prosecute !"-In that one sound
The once Briarean voice of whiggish wrath is
drown'd.

VI.

Beats not an English heart beneath B

gown! When did a S

blush upon a fee?

Let FREEDOM die: but ne'er shall ye bring down Your noble selves: from that suspicion free, Whig counsellors, of whatsoe'er degree,

The rostrum mount-there think no more of
RIGHT.

No simple scruple check your hireling glee,
Soft bank-notes crumpled in your palms-the
Mite

Of some tormented booby glittering in your sight.
VII.

When in their courts some lawyers I discern
Leading some libel-case, me much it cheers
Mine eye on Perry's patriot print to turn,
The Morning Chronicle of LITTLE'S years;
I also love to ponder on its jeers,

That work of kindred spleen which maul'd the
Lakers!

Laureates might frame fine issues, were your

sneers

Of power to make them in your tricks partakers. Even when SIR RICHARD stirr'd, you trembled Like Bob Acres.*
