FROM THE

In the Spe&ator, Ambrose Philips has
translated an Ode of Sappho into very rafy
and flowing English. Every one remembers
his
" Blest as the immortal Gods is he,
The youth, who fondly fits by ihee,
And hears and fees thee, all th# while ;
Softly speak, and fweftly smile."
Here follows a
Parody,
Lloyd to Dunne.
Drunk as old David's sow is he
I he wretch, who takes his grog with thee
While wi h thy Irish tongue, so glib,
You boldly swear, or quaintly fib.
'T was you fir ft made ine love the dose,
Which rais'd frefc pimples on my nose.
But, Wkilft I drank each July toast,
My health was gone, my senses loft.
T fancied whilky like ahampaign;
In flam; my blood and mad my brain :
While oaths fell faultering from my tongue;
I loft the bawdy Catch you sung,
I felt my gorge and ficknels rife ;
The candles dane'd before my eyes ;
My eyes grew dim, the room run round,
I tumbled senseless on rhe ground.
