EPITAPH
On Merry, the Della-Crufcan
Poet .
lllSfreward mufc at Variance with
Ins name ,
Poor Merry Jfghs for praife ) and
whines for fame.
Merry is gone—no Merry-maker
he,
For he is dead without pcflcrity J
His tragic wije alone he Merry
made %
She's Merry fill in honor to his
[hade ;
But when her time's expir'd for
looking fad,
Quite tir'd, of being Merry Jhc'll
be g'ad,
Give birth to native tranfports and
repen t
Pajl [ernes o/unprolijic Merriment;
Or holding cheap poetic gewgaw
fame, «
To tafle fubftantial mirth forego
the name.
Weep o'er theft ryhmes , for if you
dare to laugh,
He'll rife and tear the quibbling
epitaph:
Stay till his jhade has fairly crofs'd
the Ferry,
Then damn his “ Pains of Me
mory,” Mid be Merry %
EPIT A P H
On Mr. Thomas Hammond, a\
parifh clerk, a good man , and'
an excellent backgammon player,
who xuas fucceeded in his office
by a Mr. Price* .
B Y the chance [f the die,
On his back here doth he *
Cur mof audible clerk , Maper
Hammond; *
Thd he bore many men,
Till three/core and ten ,
Yet at length he by death is back
gammon’d, (
But ha r k ! neighbours hark !
Hoe again cones the clerk ;
By a hit very lucky and nice;
'With death we're now even.
He jap pepp'd to Heaven ,
And is with us again in a Trice, <
——
ANACREONTIC.
To Sylvia.
HOWcanP thou fmile at my defpair,
And bid me 01 her nymphs adore ?
Shew me a girl but half fo fair,
And I will trouble thee no more.
Jlidc then that heck , and lip and eye ,
Since thus refc-lvd to flmnpurfuit;
For love will follow like the py ,
That always fecks the fairefl f ruit. ’
