    See these jonquils ; how this piony blows ; Behold the lily and this blooming rose ,

    The leaves stand out , and tremble with the wind , It seems the brightest of the brightest kind , Arachne , or Minerva ' s utmost art , Could never shade so true , or swell the rising part . Each sprig abounds with beauties ; but the whole

    Sc * grand appears * it fills with joy the souL Thus gems of various tinge confus'dly thrown , And , in their bright disorder , sparkling . shown * Reflect from ev ' ry surface various li g ht , And charm spectators with the glonous sight , The goddess Flora , in her gayest dress , In full conviction , did this truth confess : €

    e Charming Eliza ' s work is full as fine , And far more lasting than the best of mine . * Such beauteous garments Iris always wears ,

    1 b cheer the heart * and banish cloudy fears 5 Their lustre brightens all the world below , For men in transport view the painted bow % The curious work with all its various dies * That shew the fine embroidery of the skies . Thine too , Eliza , shall Apollo raise , To shine conspicuous to thy endless praise-When you above this sordid earth shall soar , Thy heav ' nly work to heaven will he restore ^ "With it adorn his sister Phoebe ' s car , And stud each leaf and fio \ tf ' r with many a star , The Philomaths shall eye the constellation , And find a thousand worlds in one carnation .

    your works , oblige me to tell you the proceedings against you in England . I happened , the other day , to go into the Secretary ' s office , where I saw an order for three thousand pounds to be paid the person that shall destroy you * I could hardly believe my eyes that I saw the paper , it seemed so strange to

    me-This I communicated in private to my Lord Ossory , who told me it was truc 5 for he had it from Prince George . My Lord desired me to be private in the thing , till [ canie to Holland ; and then , if I pleased , to tell you of it * Sir ^ I am your friend , and my advice to you is , to take an especial care of yourself ; for no doubt but that great sum will meet with a mercerfcaiy hand . Sir , you shall never want a friend , where I am . " * From Burnett ' s History of his own Times , vol . vi . 266 . —E 4 ic . Ed . ixmc .
