!

Warm'd with ev'ry virtuous fire,
See the virtuous youth afpire!
Rip'ning as a fruitful tree,
Into rich maturity;

Which shall n&m'rous years be feen,

Ever fruitful-ever green.
Long may he rejoice to fee
This returning jubilee;

Who to life first broke his way
On this memorable day.

Gh may

heav'nly fmiles adorn

The happy day OFFLEY was born:

And all needful gifts difpenfe,

In his common Providence ;
For his welfare to provide,
This and ev'ry day belide.
All through Life may he poffefs
Ev'ry fource of happiness.
All domeftic comforts prove,
Health, contentment, peace and love.

But when Nature pants
for breath,
And his foul draws near to death,
May he, when the call is giv'n,
Be advanc'd from earth to Heav'n;
There to fee, and there to prove
Heav'nly joy, and heav'nly love ;
In the blest embrace to be
Of a fmiling Deity.

SONG-Mr. INCLEDON.

THO' feldom I that form can view,
No rival's claims can mine fub-
due:

His paffion will not bear a teft
With the true homage of this breaft.

II.

If he, who feels the tropic fun,
Retires to fhades, its warmth to fhun;
The dweller on the polar fhores
Ne'er fees it fhine, but he adores!

SONG-Mr. MUNDEN.

Signal trumpets, with their clangor,
In fome heroes rife up anger
But to me or I'm a finner-
The little bell that rings for dinner-
Gives a more infpiring jingle-
Makes the fpirits livelier tingle!

A fharp ftomach without fneer-
Is a dextrous pioneer!

Armies oft have wonders done,
When led by general Hunger-on!
Before his rage a town foon falls--

ROSINA. He, with cafe-" breaks through
ftone walls."

OPERA

" ARRIVED at PORTSMOUTH."

[blocks in formation]

'Tis cracking but the pies cruft lid
To tafte the favory meat that's hid!

And then the favours of the ladies-
In whofe dimples live the babies-
By the poets 'titled Loves-
Jockies to young Cupid's doves,
They to foldiers give new ardour-
If poffible-beyond the larder !!!

Ah no! ah no!-Ah no! no, no!
