WJ * POET R, Y. INVOCATION By Peter Pindar, v, OConfcicncc! (hou strait jacket to the foul; The madding Tallies of the bard controul; Who when iuclin’d, like brother bards, to lie, Bring Truth ’s neglefted form before his eye, Fair ' Maid l to towns and courts a dranger grown,, And now to rural swains alraoft unknown, Who’s company was once their prudent choice i Who once delighted lid’ned to her voice; When iu their hearts the gentler paflion drove, And Conjiancy went hand in hand with Love, Sweet Truth who deals through lonely shades along, And mingles with the TurtleVnote her song ; Whilst Faljkoodf rais’d by sycophantic tricks; Unblulhing flaunts it in a coach and fix. Conscience who bid’ll our monarch from the nation, Send Tons to Gottingen for education ; Since hapless Cam. and lfis % 101 lto knowledge, Are ideots to this Hanoverian college, Whefc fciencc beams with orient ray ; The great the glorious Athens of the day ! So fays the Ruler of us Englilh fools, Who cannot judge like him of lYijdcnis schools. Dear attic Gottingen ! to thee I bow, Os knowledge, O mod wonderful milch cow ! From whom huge pails the royal boys diall bring, . And give, we hope, a little to the Through tbee t beddes the knowledge they may reap, The lads will get their board and lodging cheap; And learn like their good parents to fublid, Within the limits of the civil lid; Who seldom bid a Minifler implore A little farther pittance for the poor, Confcunce ! who to the wonder of his Sire , Bad d from his wonted date a Ptinc m retire; And, like a fubjeft, humbly seek the diade, That not a tradesman might remain unpaid ! An aft ion that the foul of Envy dings— vA deed uumentioned in the book of Kings . ANECDOTE Os the late KING c/'PRUSSIA, IN answer to the application of the New mark Clergymen, that their tythes of corn fliould be delivered in kind as formerly, and not be paid in money, according to the Cham ber taxes, the King gave the following reply: “ The mode now in use dull remain in force. If an hundred Priefls refigir to-day, there will be a thousand to offer in their dead to-mor row.
