POETICAL FOR TIIK REFLECTOR. A HINT OH TWO. Mb. I Tixr.q, YOUR paper oft cloth me invite, To streams oi‘ pleasure and delight; Oft do 1 view your weekly page, Glow with the’ wisdom of a sage ; And then as if to please each heart, A novel theme you do impart.— E’en Maids and Bachelors cln’in a shaft, Of your extreme unwearied care. A maul or two scans still cm baud, That fain some notice would command ; They seem by tho;r persuasive pow’r, To have merit at the eleventh hour; That is, they’ve merit if we trust, To what they say, and own it just. But where’s the heart so fond of guile, As to he jilted by a smile ; Or where’s the head so void of brain, That will not let them plead in vain— Unless they give some better proof, That swains have kept from them aloof; Tor many have as we’ve been told, In modern times and days of old, D.splayed the coquette, and have thus Trepan’d themselves and injured us— Therefore we must a pledge clem, ml, E’re we can take an old Maid’s hand. The Bachelor who seems to lie, Thus bound by sad necessity, Is sure in gaol, and Heaven can tell, If hecan hncihis exit well. The only plan that 1 can see, That wdl restore h.m liberty, Is to g\ve up all love as lost, And bankrupt turn at pla.ntitf’s cost. The Bachelor who owns himself, cho.ce still u lonely eil, From some lew hints iie gave of late, Would fain make out h,s learning great, lie doth his eyes to Heaven bequeath, Or else they’re fixed on earth beneath ; lie’s fond of naiure all beside, The fashion’d icih drawn from his side; And that perhaps he would have sung, Were it not furnish’d with a tongue. lie’s tend oi study, and no doubt, A scolding wife would put him out. ‘.So dreading this the sex he taunts, And calls ail women termagants. But sure he’s wrong, lor where we find, One scold among the female kind, Theie’i two at least we must agree, From this sail vice completely free. Then let me tell him by the bye, To study well the lemaic eye— The contour of the liice pursue, And every gesture keep uiview; To us each feature loo cxpUt.ii, That marks viragoes in the main ; That we may know who to commend, As virtue’s dear and gentle friend. *1 is true I can’t hi> plan ab.de, 11 s boldness wounds my Ual’ral pr.de— A least tor me lie should not fix it, 1 could .iot take h.s “ ipse ihxu.” bo imts 1 bid a long ad eu, To B.tdi’lors and old Maidens too.
