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. ■xt 1 imt, xr.tr* x? *!■’ i ,1 < GEORGIA, By hi* Excellency JARED TR IVIA 7 , Governor- and Command er in'Chief f the Army and N'tvy of this Stale, and oj the Militia thereof.
