FRVI THE TIMES.
A PETITION,
Trom the Indies of Charleston., to
Dr. Afoyi*.
WRITTEN SEVERAL YEARS SINCE,
Dear Doctor, let us not trans
pire,
How much j our lectures we ad
mire ;
How at your eloquence we won
der.
When you explain the cause of
thunder;
Os lightning, and of electricity,
With so much plainness and sim
plicity.
The origin of rocks and moun
tains,
Os seas and rivers, lakes and
fountains;
Os rain and hail, of frost h snow,
And all the winds and storms that
blow ;
Besides an hundred wonders more
Os which vve never heard before
But now, Dear Doctor, not to
flatter,
There is a most important matter,
A matter which you never touch
on ;
A subject if we right conjecture,
Which well deserves a long, long
lecture ;
Which all the ladies would ap
prove,
The Natural History of Love.
Oh listen i 1 our united voice,
Deny us not clear Doctor M<>yes;
Tell us why our tender hearts,
So willingly admit Love’s darts r
Teach ns the marks of love’s he
ginning,
What is it makes a beau so win
ning }
What makes us think a coxcomb
viuy r
A dotard wise, regimentals pret
ty ?
Why we believe such horrid lies,
That we are angels from the skies?
Our teeth arc pearl, our cheeks
are roses,
Our eves are stars—such charm
ing noses !
Explain our dreams, waking,
sleeping ;
Explain our laughing and our
wwpinyvA ‘
Explain our ~oping and our
doubting,
Our blushing, simpering and
. pouting ;
Teach us all the enchanting arts,
Os winning Ik of keeping hearts ;
Teach us, D,ar Doctor, u you
can,
To humble that proud create
man ;
To turn the wise ones into fools ; i
.The proud and iii.-oh rit to tools;
To make them all run belter skel
ter, I
Their necks into the marriage
liaiter ;
Then ie .ve us to ourselves with 1
tilt se,
We’d rule arid turn them as we
please.
Dear Doctor, if you grant our
wishes,
We promise you five hundred
kisses ;
And rather than the affair be
blunder’d
We’ll give you six score to the
hundred.
F raffment cf a Soliloquy on a
Birth-day.
—But what have I done, in
these 24 years of my life ?
Why I have ea'.en, drunk and
slept, as other people do. Yes,
but what has become of all \ our
resolves about doing great
things for mankind—dont you
reeollecl P Ah, luch golden
dreams have vaiylhed at the
approach of Experience, as do
the (hades of night at the ap
proach of Ihe fun. And then
you will just float down the oir
ient of life wiiliout leaving
your children a iingle beacon
or trace to fhovv the way?
Then 1 am a mere cypher
That wont do. W ell but 1
can’t reform the world—Re
form the world! talk of rc
vvi tiling )oarJelj\ and iinaiedi”
ately Tct about it, and then
something may be exp-led to
your credit. Remember half
your life is gone.
