A CONVERSAZIONI.

SAINT Patrick's dean, though deaf, was Swift,

I'm deaf, alas! but flow:
True wit and humour were his gift,

But not my gift, you know.

As well might one that could not eat.

Attend your jovial cheer, As I difturb your higher treat

Of wit, I cannot hear.

The late worthy Dr. Domyille.

THE Sheriff, to convene a county meeting,
To gentlemen and clergy fendeth greeting:
Hinting in each a different style of breeding,
Of birth, of rank-and elegance of feeding.

But those that dine with *K- will fee, delighted,
In him these various qualities united;

And find, as we this cheerful day have done,

The Gentleman and Clergyman in one.

HEROICK LOVE:

A DIALOGUE BETWEEN

DON QUIXOTE AND SANCHO PANCHA,

IN THE BROWN MOUNTAIN,

(When the squire returned from his embaffy to Lady Dulcinea.)!

WELL, Sancho, I confess indeed,

Like a good squire thou'ft made good speed:
Come! footh my anxious bosom's void,
And tell me how my love's employ'd.
Is fhe intent on ftringing pearls
To decorate her auburn curls,
Or making up her Bruffels lace
To fhade the beauties of her face?
Was fhe amidst the myrtle grove
Weaving the story of our love;
Or, on a moffy bank reclin'd,

Scothing with books her penfive mind;

*The joke was, inftead of going three days journey to Tobofo

the fquire returned with the curate and barber.
