No more will kings court Britain's fmiles,
No longer dread this queen of ifles,
No more her virtues charm!
Can fhe, like Roman ‡ ftrumpets feel,
Who 'gainst their lovers point the fteel,
And hire a bravo's arm?

XX.

I fcorn the fervile Tories rage;

You're but their dupe, poor Tommy Gage;
They'll leave you foon forlorn ;

Mansfield, of Jacobitifh race,
And Rigby of unblushing face,
Will laugh your zeal to fcorn.

From Boston you with fhame retire,
Glad to escape frome fmoke and fire,

clarion diftin&ly, at Lexington and Bunker's-hill, within the walls of Quebec, &c. &c.

America has long poured her treasures into the lap of Britain; yet, fays the noble prophet, fhe now acts like a jealous, profligate courtezan, who hires an affaffin to ftab the generous lover, who has lavished his fortune to fupport her in luxurious affluence.---The Heffians' and Brunfwickers were the political mercenary bravoes of a prostituted adminiftration.--

Now teach Sir Jeffery, at your § club,
The Yanky cowards how to drub,
And scalp thofe Oliverians.

Send him to prop the tottering crown, With fire and fword deftroy each town, "Or destine to the cord;"

Give him a title to his || coal,

And let * frost bitten Jeffery ftrole
Round Montreal-a lord.

§ The American club, where General Grant frequently expatiated, with equal truth, modefty, and spirit, on the cowardice of the Americans.

The noble earl, actuated by a laudable zeal to promote the intereft of those officers who distinguished themselves in the late war, feems to approve, and recommend Sir Jeffery's claim to an exclusive grant of poffeffing and working the coal mines on the isle of Cape Breton:---Sir Jeffery has obtained the reverfion of the Jesuits in Canada, as those reverend fathers are only tenants for life ;---and it was faid, he would take his title from one of his feigniories in that country.

The epithet, froft bitten, seems more expreffive and characteristic (especially in the present inftance) than fang froid, which has been always efteemed an effential in the compofition of a great general.

VIRGIL

OF arms and wond'rous tribes I fing;
My Scheme shall thro' the nation ring,
Form'd on a liberal Plan;

Tho' ev'ry day the bounty rife,

The standard too-your Lordship's fize!
-You can't recruit a man.

Don't fcorn a philofophic hint,
Tho' its convey'd in rhime and print;
Nor think my project odd;

Or elfe I'll fet you at defiance,'
And boast my new and grand alliance
With learned Lord MONBODD.

But firft the mufe thy faith should hail,
Thou darling of the fair-and frail,

lowered, yet no recruits can be got.” Speech in the house of commons.
