Yes, Joe and I Are em❜lous-Why? It is because, great CESAR, you are clever- Smile then, CESAR, smile on Wray! Laurels vain of Covent-garden, For 'tis sick of small beer! CESAR! CESAR! give it-do! Great CESAR giv't all, for my Muse 'doreth you!- Descend upon my Paan's quill. The light Nymph hears-no more By Pegasus' meand'ring shore, Ambrosia playful boy, Plumbs her jene scai quoi ! I mount !-I mount ! I'm half a Lark-I'm half an Eagle! I see their dam- she is a Beagle! Ye Royal little ones, I love your flesh and bones You are an arch, rear'd with immortal stones! Hibernia strikes his harp! Shuttle, fly!-woof! wed! warp! Far, far, from me and you, In latitude North 52.— The merchant's flush'd ; Hail, awful Brunswick, Saxe-Gotha, hail! Like an old wren, With my good hen, Or a young gander, Am a by-stander, To all the peacock pride, and vain regards of state !— Yet if the laurel prize, Dearer than my eyes, Curs'd Warton tries For to surprize, By the eternal God I'll SCRUTINIZE ! NUMBER II. ODE ON THE NEW YEAR, By LORD MULGRAVE. STROPHE. O FOR a Muse of Fire, With blazing thumbs to touch my torpid lyre! With wild affright would see the snow-hills roll, But that Lions dwell not there Nor beast, nor Christian-none but the White Bear! ANTISTROPHE. (By Brother HARRY.) Farewel awhile, ye summer breezes ! Sometimes it thaws, sometimes it freezes, If Heaven decrees, fierce whirlwinds rend the air, Thus peace and war on earth alternate reign: Gives peace to France and Spain, And sheaths the martial sword! STROPHE II. (By Brother CHARLES.) And now gay Hope, her anchor dropping, And blue-ey'd Peace, and black-ey'd Pleasures, And Plenty in light cadence hopping, Fain would dance to WHITEHEAD's measures. But WHITEHEAD now in death reposes, Crown'd with laurel! crown'd with roses! Yet we, with laurel crown'd, his dirge will sing. And thus deserve fresh laurels from the KING. NUMBER III. ODE, By SIR JOSEPH MAWBEY, BART. STROPHE. HARK!-to yon heavenly skies, Nature's congenial perfumes upwards rise! From each throng'd stye That saw my gladsome eye, Incense, quite smoking hot, arose, And caught my seven sweet senses-by the nose! AIR-accompanied by the LEARNED PIG. Tell me, dear Muse, oh! tell me, pray, [Here Muse Whispers I-Sir Joseph.] Indeed!-Repeat the fragrant sound! Push love, and loyalty around, CHORUS. For this BIG MORN GREAT GEORGE was born! The tidings all the Poles shall ring! On this, thy native day, GEORGE, by the grace of God, my rightful KING! |
