ANOTHER.

Had PITT to his advice inclin'd,

SIR CECIL had undone us
But he, a friend to womankind,
Would nothing lay upon us.

ANCILLA.

ANOTHER.

On Mr. PITT's Prudence.

Though PITT have to women told some things, no doubt; Yet his private affairs they have never found out.

ANOTHER.

Who dares assert that virtuous PITT

Partakes in female pleasures?

For know there ne'er was woman yet
Could e'er endure half measures.

ANOTHER.

Puer loquitur.

Though big with mathematic pride,
By me this axiom is denied ;
I can't conceive, upon my soul,
My parts are equal to the whole.

DES

THE

DELAVALIAD.

WHY, says an indignant poet, should Mr. ROLLE alone, of all the geniuses that distinguish the present period, be thought the only person of worth or talents enough to give birth and name to an immortal effusion of divine poesy! He questions not that great man's pretensions; far from it; he reveres his ancestors, adores his talents, and feels something hardly short of idolatry towards his mappers and accomplishments.But still, why such profusion of distinction towards one, to the exclusion of many other high characters? Our poet professes to feel this injustice extremely, and has made the following attempt to rescue one deserving man from so unmerited an obloquy. The reader will perceive the measure to be an imitation of that which has been so deservedly admired in our immortal Bard, in his play of "As You Like It :"

From the East to the Western Inde
No jewel is like Rosalind;

Her worth being mounted on the wind,

Through all the world bears Rosalind, &c. &c.

This kind of verse is adopted by the poet to avoid any appearance of too servile an imitation of the ROLLIAD. He begins,

Ye patriots all, both great and small,
Resign the palm to DELAVAL.
The virtues wouldst thou practise all,
So in a month did DELAVAL.
A patriot first both stout and tall,
Firm for the day was DELAVAL:
The friend to court, where frowns appal,
The next became good DELAVAL.
Wilt thou against oppression bawl ?
Just so did valiant DELAVAL!
Yet in a month, thyself enthral,
So did the yielding DELAVAL:
Yet give to both a dangerous fall,
So did reflecting DELAVAL.
If resignation's good in all,
Why, so it is in DELAVAL:

Just so you may 'gainst DELAVAL:

And if with foot you kick a ball,

E'en so you may-a DELAVAL.

'Gainst influence wouldst thou vent thy gall,

Thus did the patriot DELAVAL:

Yet servile stoop to Royal call,

So did the loyal DELAVAL.

What friend to Freedom's fair-built Hall
Was louder heard than DELAVAL?
Yet who the Commons' rights to maul,
More stout was found than DELAVAL?
-'Gainst Lords and Lordlings wouldst thou brawl,
Just so did he-SIR DELAVAL:

Yet, on thy knees, to honours crawl,

O! so did he LORD DELAVAL.
An evil sprite possessed SAUL,
And so it once did DELAVAL.
Music did soon the sense recall
Of ISRAEL'S King, and DELAVAL.
SAUL rose at DAVID'S vile cat-call
-Not so the wiser DELAVAL:
"T was money's sweetest sol, la, fal,
That cheer'd the sense of DELAVAL-
When royal power shall instal

With honours new LORD DELAVAL,
Who won't say the mirac'lous hawl
Is caught by faithful DELAVAL?

'Gainst rapine wouldst thou preach like Paul,

Thus did religious DELAVAL:

Yet screen the scourges of BENGAL,

Thus did benignant DELAVAL.

To future times recorded shall
Be all the worths of DELAVAL:
E'en OSSIAN, or the great FINGAL,
Shall yield the wreath to DELAVAL.
From Prince's court to cobler's stall,
Shall sound the name of DELAVAL:
For neither sceptre nor the awl
Are strong and keen as DELAVAL.-

Some better praise than this poor scrawl,
Shall sing the fame of DELAVAL:

For sure no song can ever pall,
That celebrates great DELAVAL:

Borne on all fours, the fame shall sprawl,
To latest time-of DELAVAL:

Then come, ye Nine, in one great squall,
Proclaim the worths of DELAVAL.
