7 By | one 7 | brave 7 | stroke 7| 7 to | mark all | human | kind, 7 |

Call'd | clear 7 | blank 7 | paper | every | infant | mind; 7| |

Where 7 | still, | 7 as | opening | sense 7|7 hér | dictates | wrote, 7|

Fair 7 | Virtue | put a | seal, 7.7 or | Vice, 77 a | blot. 7|||

7 The | thought was | happy, | pertinent and | true! 7||

7 Me | thinks a | genius | 7 might the | plan pur | sue. 7|||

17|7 (can you | pardon my pre | sumption?)| |I,

7

No 7 wit, 7| no 7 | genius, | yet for | once, 7| 7 will | try. 7| |

Various the | paper | various | wants pro | duce : 7||

7 The wants of | fashion, ❘ elegance | 7 and | use. 7|||

Men 7 | 7 are as | various; | 7 and if | right I | scan,

7

Each 7 | sort of | paper | | repre | sents | some | man. 7| | |

Pray 7 note the | fop; 7| | half 7 | powder | 7 and | half 7 | lace! 7| |

Nice as a | bandbox | 7 were | his | dwelling | place. 7|

He's the | gilt 7 | paper, | 7 which a | part you | store, 7|

H 2

7 And | lock from | vulgar | hands 7 | 7 in the scru | toire. 7|||

7 Me | chanics, | servants, | farmers, | 7 and | so forth, |

7 Are | copy | paper, | 7 of in | ferior | worth; 7 | Less 7 | prized; 7 | | more 7 | useful; | 7 for your | desk de | creed; 7 |

| Free to | all 7 | pens, 7| 7 and | prompt at | every | need. |||

7 The | wretch 7| 7 whom | avarice | | bids to | pinch and spare, 7|

| Starve, 7| cheat 7 | 7 and | pilfer, | 7 to en | rich an | heir, 7 |

7 Is | coarse 7 | brown 7 | paper; | | such as | pedlars | choose 7|

7 To | wrap up | wares 7| 7 which | better | men 7 | 7 will | use. |

4

Take 7 | next 7 | 7 the | miser's | contrast; | | 7 who des | troys 7 |

Health, 7| fame and | fortune | 7 in a | round of | joys. 7| | |

7 Will | any | paper | match 7 | him? 7 | | Yes, | 7 throughout; 7||

He's a | true 7 | sinking | paper, | | past 7 | all 7 | doubt. 7| | |

7 The | retail | poli | tician's | anxious | thought

7

Deems 7 | this side | always' | right, 7| 7 and | that 7| stark 7 | nought: 7|

7 He foams with | censure; | 7 with ap | plause he | raves; 7|

7 A | dupe to | rumours, | | and a | tool to | knaves;

7||

He'll 7 | want 7 | no 7 type 7 | his | weakness | 7 to pro | claim, 7|

7 While | such a | thing as | fools-cap | 7 has a | name. 7| | |

7 The | hasty | gentleman, | 7 whose | blood runs | high; 7 |

7 Who | picks a | quarrel | 7 if you | step a | wry;

7

7 Who | can't a | jest, 7|7a| hint, 77 or | look en | dure! 7|

| What is | he? 7 | What! 7| | Touch-paper | 7 to be | sure. 7|||

What are our | poets? | | Take them | 7 as they | fall 7 |

Good, 7 | bad, 7 | rich, 7| poor; 7 | much read; | not read at | all! 7| |

Them 7| 7 and their | works 7 | 7 in the | same 7 | class 7 | 7 you'll 7 | find: 7 |

| They are the | mere | waste-paper | 7 of man | kind. 7| | |

7 Observe the | maiden, | | innocently | sweet! 71

She's 7 | fair 7 | white 7 | paper! | 7 an un | sullied | sheet; 7||

7 On | which 7| 7 the | happy | man 7| 7 whom | fate or | dains 7 |

7 May write his | name, 7| 7 and | take her for his | pains. 7| | |

1

One 7 | instance | more, 7| 7 and | only | one 7| 7 I'll | bring! 7 |

'Tis the great 7 | man 7 | 7 who | scorns a | little | thing; 7||

7 Whose | thought, 7| 7 whose | deeds, 7| 7 whose | maxims | 7 are his | own; 7|

| Form'd on the | feelings | 7 of his | heart al lone. 7| | |

True, 7| genuine, | royal | paper, | 7 is | his 7 | breast, 7| |

7 Of all the | kinds 7 | | most 7 | precious, | | purest, | | best! 7|||

ALEXANDER'S FEAST.

DRYDEN.

'Twas at the royal | feast 7 | 7 for | Persia | won

7

7 By | Philip's | warlike | son:

7 A | loft, in | awful | state, 7|

7 The | godlike | hero | sat 7 |

On his im | perial | throne; 7

7|

7 His | valiant | peers 7| 7 were | plac'd a | round;

7

7 Their | brows 7 | 7 with | roses | 7 and with | myrtle | bound: 7

So should de | sert in | arms be | crown'd. 7 | ||

7 The | lovely | Thais, | 7 by his | side, 7 | |

Sat like a | blooming | eastern | bride, 7 |

7 In | flower of | youth, 7| 7 and | beauty's | pride.

Happy, 7| | happy, | | happy | pair!||| None but the | brave, 7 | | none but the | brave, 7 | | none | but the | brave 7 | 7 de ❘ serves the | fair! 7|||

7 Ti | motheus, | plac'd on | high 7 |

7 A | mid the | tuneful|quire; 7|

7 With | flying | finger's | touch'd the | lyre: 7

7 The trembling | notes 7| 7 as | cend the | sky, 7|

7 And | heavenly | joys in | spire. 7||

7 The | song 77 began from | Jove! 7|| 7 Who left his | blissful | seats a | bove 7 | Such is the power of | mighty | love! 7 |

7A | dragon's | fiery | form 7| 7 be | ly'd the | God:

7

7 Sub | lime, 7| 7 on | radiant | spires, 7| 7 he | rode, 7| |

When he to | fair O | lympia | press'd; 7 |

| 7 And, | while he | sought her | snowy | breast, 7 |

7 A round her | slender | waist 7 | 7 he | curl'd, 7 |

7 And | stamp'd 7 | 7 an | image of him | self, 7|| 7 a | sovereign | 7 of the | world! 7| |

7 The | listening | crowd 7| 7 ad | mire the lofty | sound, 7 ||
