Bay;
Who in Hagley's sweet groves, for his Lucy did mourn,
And wept with true sorrow long over his urn.
There is none but poor Shaw, with his numbers can vie,
Who so sweetly laments that his Emma should die.
Then last name the Poet, whose anguish and grief,
Seeks in sorrowful verses some little relief,
Who o'er his Narcissa, so young, and so fair,
Laments in a language, uncommon, and rare.
Place these sons of Parnassus, in proper array,
And they'll tell you a month that is cheerful and gay.
A. R.

The God whom Artists always grace,
By giving him a double face:
The food divine, that's eat on high,
By all the inmates of the sky;
Also the Liquor, drank above,
Which Hebe hands, to mighty Jove;
He, who for fair Calypso's smile,
Forgot his wife, and native isle:
Now Thetis' son, who chose the strife,
Of warlike fame, instead of life:
That island, where we're always told,
The brass Colossus stood of old:
The time, no efforts can regain,
Tho' oft we spend its hours in vain.
Take the first letters and they'll tell
A month, when firing pleases well.
A. R.

The King, who was forc'd Magna Charta to sign,
Or his crown and kingdom, for ever resign.
The term which fair Scotland, with England did join,
And the Roses and Thistles, agree to entwine.
No king can I find, who will give my next letter,
So think of an Admiral, can you do
