Obeyed by all who nought beside obey. 28
30 _Unfolds her motley store to suit the time_.
Bedecks her cap with bells of every clime. 30

So well the subject suits his n.o.ble mind, 263 He brays, the Laureate of the long-eared kind. 264

Behold--Ye Tarts!--one moment spare the text! 309 HAYLEY'S last work, and worst--until his next; 310 Whether he spin poor couplets into plays, 311 Or d.a.m.n the dead with purgatorial praise. 312

And shows, still whimpering thro' threescore of years. 329

Fresh fish from Hippocrene! who'll buy? who'll buy? 391
387 _Too much in turtle Bristol's sons delight_, 388 _Too much o'er bowls of Rack prolong the night_.
