POET R Y. ExtraQ from an ancient Biographer, merfifed. IN those remote and diftatit age*, When quadrupeds were wits and sages; In Greece, some where, near Megazirus, Did dwell the doughty Gelafinus; Whose youthful lore, (being jEiculapian) Rais’d him above the rank of plebeian: His fame thus flew, ad omnem partem ; • He plaifler fpreadi, fecundum artem ; ‘ And fkilfully does pestle handle:*— What’s more, —he strove t’ obtain the scandal Os fending patients adJepulehram , By rule of art, which lay occultani. A while he fill’d his sphere exalted, When bounce ! into a dejk he vaulted : Now—hark the founds of fol, fa, la, mi ! And tnva, tnva, tnva ! when he explores the k«r. O had he stuck to pfalmody, And chang’d his bev’rage to gin-toddy, (For aqua pur a and molajfes Are to the lungs, vile and pernicious,) And never peep’d into a Or thought of studying cursed Saxon ; r He might have (hunn’d the rock he wreck’d f on: J For Client to his doer ne’er pac'd, Nor fee his fingers e’er Embrac’d. When worse came to the wofff, neceflity Gave to invention, elasticity : “ No more (he cried) fliall life precarious, * e Be my hard lot, and fortune various “ I’ve hit cn the sure plan of trading, “ And nought but turpentine I’ll deal in e ** I’ll get me dogs to bay the crocodiles, * l Thtfe fatal en’mics to my light nvood piles, “ And thus provide a fine maintainance.” Seven canine mongrels he got —bled chance! A golden age feem’d now to offer; — Each day was drefs’d a htige megophet , And buzzards, by the brace adduc’d j Drove hunger from her wonted rood ; While Terebintbian works succeed, And oft prevent the fiddler’s need. O luxury, (too great to lad;) Thou waft to grief, but th* antepaft ! v A point, right moot, one day debated,- Discord and anarchy created, Between the cat’ring currs and mailer, Which prov’d to him a Ibte disaster; For Snarler, Banter, both abfeond, And not one carcase can 6e found : Lean Gelafinus to his dogs, Sounds a retreat to neighb’ring bogs; But haggard Famine , lank and pallid, Has made all efforts quits iuvalid, Os flying from the premises, ( Foist-hull , or any, its demefnet)— ‘ What can he do ? Refign’d, he gulps his pills of opium, To drown the thought, that Bombardinion Fioves not bis Snarler, or his Banter; But (for his fins!) a galling Tartar. ’ The Biographer concludes his life in thefs words: *• To collect his character from his own writings, it would read thus: He was an abndger of canine liberty, a recorder of brute pedigree, an infpeCtor of dogs Ws a retailer of slobber, a distributer of carrion and a Monographer of dogs, buzzards, polc and raegophers.” ’ * RIGDUMFUNIDHS. \ . •• Boanerges—what, is it c , mp „ mentis; r We'il cloak it ,h UB> a „ d BOMBARDINION.
