Accrescunt teneris tactu nova robora nervis: Tu secura tamen confusa elementa videbis,
Consuerus fulcro innixus reptare bacilli

Lætaque Messia semper dominabere rege,
Nunc saltu capreas, nunc rursu provocat eurus. Pollicitis firmata Dei, stabilita ruinis.

(AFTER REVISIXO AND EN LARGINO

ENGLISH LEXICON, OR VICTIONARY.)
WHEN Scaliger, whole years of labour past,
Beheld his Lexicon complete at last,
And weary of his task, with wond'ring eyes,
Saw from words pil'd on words a fabric rise,
He curs'd the industry, inertly strong,
lo creeping toil that could persist so long,
And if, etrag'd he cried, Heav'n meant to shed
Its keenest vengeance on the guilty head,
The drudgery of words the damu'd would know,
Doom'd to write lexicons in endless woel.

Yes, you had cause, great genius, to repent;
"You lost good days, that inight be better spent;"
You well mnight grudge the hours of ling'ring

pain,

and view your learned labours with disdain.

· See Scaliger's Epigram on this subject, mainunicated without doubt by Dr. Johnson, Gent Mag. 1748. p. 8.

To you were given the large expanded mind, What then remains ? Must I in slow decline
The flame of genius, and the taste refin'd. To mute inglorious ease old age resign?
'Twas yours on eagle wings aloft to soar, Or, bold ambition kindling in my breast,
And amidst rolling worlds the great First Cause Attempt some arduous task? Or, were it best
explore :

Brooding o'er lexicons to pass the day,
To fix the eras of recorded time,

And in that labour drudge my life away?
And live in ev'ry age and ev'ry clime; (cause;
Record the chiefs, who propt their country's
Who founded empires, and establish'd laws;
