Fres* Peter Pindar*/ second Cento ofthe Louftad.
CONTENT can visit the poor fpiderM
ropm, . .
Pleas’d with the ccarfe rurti mat and birchen
broom ;
Where parents, children, feafl on oaten bread,
With cheeks as round as apples, and as red ;
Where health and" vigour nerve their backs
and hams,
»*» • *
6weet fbuls tho* ragged as young colts or
“ • ramS ;
Where calmly sleep the parents with their
~ -darlings,- -
Thu nibbled by the fleas as thick as darlings,
Toll’d to their red, beneath the coarfed rugs,
Dead to the bitings of a ihoufand bugs.
Content , mild maid, delights in Jimple things,
And envies not the date of Queens or Kings;
Can dine on dieep’s head or a diih of broth,
Without a table or a table cloth ;
3Nor withes with the fafliionable groupe,
fjro visit Horton *s (hop for turtMf foupe ;
Can uie a bit of packthread for a jack,
And fit upon a chair without a‘back :
Na y, wanting knives, can with her fingers
work,
And use a wooden skewer for a fork.
{Jweet aid \ wlio thinks not shoes of leather
ilrocking,
Nor feels the horrors in a worded docking s
Pier temper mild, po huckaback can fliock,
Tho* for her lovely limbs it forms a smock :
Pleas'd with the nat'ral curls her face that
(hade,
No graves are robb’d for hair to make a braid;
Her bread of native plumnefs ne’er aspires
To swelling merry thoughts of gauze and wires:
To look like crops of ducks (with labour born)
Stretch’d by a fu perfluity of corn.
With nature’s hips the sighs not for cork
rumps,
,Aud scorns the pride of pinching days or
jumps;
But pleas’d from whalebone prisons to escape,
She trufls to simple nature for a fliape ;
Without a warming-pan can go to bed—
And wrap her petticoat about her head ;
Nor sigh for cob-web-raps of Mecklin lace,
TKamfiad’e'oirqu alit y The "Varnifh’d face :
Sweet Nymph, like doves, flic fecks her draw
built tied,
And in a pair of minutes is undreft';
►While .all the fafliionable female clans
Tjildrefling, seem unlading caravans.
