A QUESTION, J. Quant, of Hinton St. Gurge

AYS John a homely country fwain,.....
To Nan, the glory of the plains.

On whom he fix'd his love,

"Dear Nancy, name the happy day
When thou wilt give thyself away,
And all my doubts remove. :

O fay when thou at church wilt ftand,
And give to me thy lovely hand,"
"And make me truly blefs'd?
My charming maid, O let me know
"When my fond heart with joy fhall glow,
"Which finds but little rett !??

"Dear John (fays fhe), I love you well,
"And think you all the fwains excel
"In beauty and good fenfe;
"Then anfwer me this question pray,
"And thou wilt find the happy day
"When I'll the boon difpenfe.

"One-fixth, one fourth, when join'd to four,
"Will give the day, lefs half a score;
"The day of the month I mean.

One-fixth and one-fourth of the day of the month,

"So now prepare the gloves and ring,
"And be as happy as a king,

And I will be your queen."

But John has try'd, and try'd again,
Until he's almoft crack'd his brain,
Yet cannot find it out;

Then help him, O ye fwains of art,
To find the day and eafe his heart,
And banish ev'ry doubt.

For the WEEKLY ENTERTAINER.
SPRING: A PASTORAL POEM.
By S. M. O. of Shaftisbury.

'Tis fpring that now vifits the plain,
od The caft brightens wide with the dawn;
See Flora, the head of her train,

In the midst of the dance on the lawn.
All hail, thou fair emblem of love!
That has in fuperlative state,
Clad in green the umbrageous grove,
And with gladness the earth doch elate.

The thepherds their flocks now release
At the rife of the lark from her neft,
They browse the high fteep in calm peace,
For envy's unknown to their breaft:
The lambs fport around the green mead
To Pallas's foft flowing trains;
And Pan with his musical reed
Of spring the existence proclaims.

Aurora

Aurora breaks forth from the skies.
In fplendour amazingly bright;
The cock bids the peasants arife,
And to labour the ruftics invite:
The lark from her pillar afcends,
Serenades the renewal of light;
To the fky the high towering bends,
And is now envelop'd from the fight.

The thrush hails the morning's firft beam,

Swells her throat with the mufic of love; And the notes of the birds near the ftream, Resounds from the dell through the grove: All the feather'd muficians of fpring

The delights of the morning enjoy; May they to maturity bring,

And no evil their broodlings annoy.

New beauties emerge from the lands;
The profufions of Flora behold!
How the tulip her colours expands,
And the lily of white and of gold!
The primrose adorns the gay mead,
And the vi❜let appears in the dale;
O'er the pafture the cowflips are fpread
To lavish their sweets on the gale.

The rofe, royal queen of perfume,

Its beauteous vermillion displays;
And the fuckle and lilac in bloom
Deserve a juft tribute of praife.
The blefs'd renovation enjoy
In the fylvan fecluded retreat;
For grandeur your peace will annoy-
Content's notin, luxury's feat.

But hark at the found of the bells

From the hamlet that stands near the grove;
"Tis there the young Clerimont dwells,
Who's juft wedded to Delia his love.
Ye fhepherds your garlands prepare ;
Convene all your mufical powers;

Ye belle's to the hamlet declare
That mirth the most jovial is ours.

Long
