As Critics frown,or smile, look pleaPd or gruff,
Jacky is with 'em—thinks their word enough,
And cries, damn'd good ! damn'd fine ! damn'd

"While others, more refin'd, who deign to deck
Our lower »anpe, with towels round their neck ;
Stout, hign-born, Bfiprfli youth, who lounge

Three evening hours of a fuitry diy

Vacant they fit ; nor praffe, nor damn the scene ;
Fashion is mod amazingly serene !
Or else Loid Bob, to Lady Betty
(Who It gentle breafl forfweet Lordßobby burns)
And breathes cold nothings ot his ardent love,
Which, like his muscles, nought he vows can

While o'er his forehead, to Cncreafe her pangs,
In artificial ease, a love-lock hangs!
Thcfe sweet, foft swains, our drama ne'er

Nor dread wc ought from theJlill fofterfex.
Woman, whose every vein with feeling flows,
In whose mild breatleach kindly paflion glows :
Woman, whose heart for ruder man will bleedi
Mufl feel for Woman, in an hour of need.
Whom fear we then ?—all here fucccfs mufl

And Hon eft Gods, above, be ye propitious!
