The Gentleman's Magazine

He concludes this relation, which is agreeable enough to truth, with one of his hyperbolic ftrains, deferving to be noted for its ridiculous fingularity. "We took, fays he, from the enemy in this battle, 42 pieces of cannon, A "182 waggons laden with ammuniti

on; but, what is furprifing, not one "colour or ftandard. They had the wit, "it feems, to make wings of them to fly away, or fails to fave the melancholy remains of their fhipwreck."To retort this ridiculous and flat hyperbole of M. Rouleau, it may be remarked, that he fhould have had the wit to have given those brave fellows, who, by his own confeffion, performed fuch miracles of valour, their 42 cannon, and put them in their pockets, that he might tho' the vanquish'd retreated fo coolly, C have been able to give fome reason why, the mighty victors did not think fit to pursue them.

Thus have we given the public more than enough of M. Rouleau's work, to convince them that it will not survive the conquests of his countrymen in Piedmont and Italy, fo largely celebrated therein, but which are fince vanifhed D like a dream. The fame fate may probably be at the heels of their triumphs in the Low Countries, nothing being more common than revolutions in war.

We have received, very opportunely to be inferted here, as a proper E contraft to Rouffeau's Hiftory, the following Advice to the French King's chief

Painter. It contains directions how to
reprefent, in its true light, the glory of
his master, and the happiness of his fub-
jects and allies. The Daily Advertiser,
(where they appeared Jan. 29.) de-
fires to be excufed giving thefe lines F
only in their original language, be-
'cause they could not be tranflated

without lofing much of their fpirit " and energy. We have fubjoined a tranflation, in which, in our opinion, not only an improved turn is given to fome of the directions that it was impoffible for a painter to oblerve, but due regard has been had to the spirit of the original.

Des efclaves rampants, qui fe croyent heureux
Des hommes nez fans coeurs, des gens foible
& laches,

Qui cheriffent le lien qui an joug les atache;
Fais voir deffous fes loix, fon pays abatu,
A fes vaftes projets, eleve un Maufolée,
Son commerce ruiné, fon negoce perdu.
Et reprefente en pleurs, l'Europe defolée;
Pour finir fais y voir, fe fiant trop a lui,
Le Genois, l'Espagnol, le Bavarois detruit ;
Mais arrete! il te faut,pour embellir l'ouvrage
Le parfemé du feu, du fang & du carnage;
Et ecrire en grand mots, a la gloire des lys,
Ces font ici les faits du monarque Louis.

Directions to the French King's PAINTER.

PAIN

AINTER, difplay, in honour of the state,
monarch only in appearance great:
Swoln with ambition, let the tyrant stand,
With Pride and Treach'ry plac'd on either hande
Fill his throng'd levee with a wretched crowd,
In fcraps let broken treaties ftrew the ground,
Here Vice exulting, and there Juftice bound:
Mean sneaking flaves, of fancied blessings proud,
A dull, tame race whom nothing can provoke,
Fond of the chains that bind them to the yoke.
Stript by his laws prefent the country bare,
And ruin'd commerce finking in defpair.
To his vaft projects a Mausoleum raile,
On Europe's ruins, to record his praife.
And laft examples of too eafy truft,
Paint Genoa, Spain, Bavaria in the duft.
Yet hold-the work demands one height'ning

more,

Let all with fire and blood be sprinkled o'er ;
And write beneath, in gold, diftinct and plain,
These are the Symbols, LEWIS, of
thy Reign.

SIR,

AN unrighteous fcribler in the Weft

minster Journal having propofed, that the arrears to the king's workmen and fervants fhould be compounded, I beg leave to refer him to the good Latimer, a preacher of truth and right, for which he loft his life. As I remember in a fermon before K. Edward VI. and his court, he infifts that the king's 'fervants and workmen may be paid"They make their moan (jaid he) that they can get no money. The labourGmakers, arrow-makers, fmiths, carpeners, gun-makers, powder-men, bowters, foldiers, and other crafts, cry out for their dues. They be unpaid fome of them 3 or 4 months, fome of them half a year, yea, fome 12 months and cannot be paid. They cry out 'for their money, and the prophet fays, 'the cry of the workmen is come up to Hmine ears. O! for God's love let the 'workmen be paid, or there will fhowers of vengeance rain down on your heads.' Yours, F. FABER.
