P o B T R Y. WOCKXSOK The Deliberation. Imitated from the Soliloquy of Hamlet. MY anxious mind is torn with doubt* ful ftrife, > hopes and fears alternate vex toy life: Whether 'twere bed to ad the ftoic*s part,, And bar fond love all entrance to the heart'; Or with some fair, in wedlock's sacred bands, Our hearts united, join our willing hands; Happy a while, the. pleasing feene may seem, But will not time evince *tis but a dream ? The dread of what succeeds, suspends our fate;. Led venturing rashly we repent too late. Who would a date of celibacy chufe, And the sweet joys of intercourse refufe ? Sudain the unnumber'd jeers and tauntsef wit. Or to a fad unsocial life submit ? When he himfelf might calm each throb* bing pain, And charm all ills, with Hymen's golden chain-: Who would in (ingle iheets groan out the night, Stranger alike to red and foft delight ? But that the mind some future ills deplore, And makes us fear to tread the adveut rous diore, Where solemn death alone can give re kafe,- from troubles free us, and redore our peace. This makes us rather bear the plagues we Ynow, Than raftily venture on new feenes of woe. Aedeftion thus makes cowards of us all, And dread of cares unseen, our minds ap pal. Changes and difeord, jealousy and drife, ills which all centre in the name of wife : These to avoid, a tingle life we choose, By prudence urg'd- to (hun the marriage-, noofc* Stolen or Strayed Off Augufia Common , on Sunday night the 2 if, or Monday morning the ltd inf.
