Thou charm'st in fancy's idle dream In reason's philosophic page
------
That very law which moulds a tear And bids it trickle from its source, That law preserves the Earth a sphere And guides the planets in their Course.
--------------------------
By Mr. Thomas Day
When faithless Senates venally betray When each degenerate noble is a Slave When Britain falls an unresisting prey; What part befits the generous & the brave?
--------
If vain the task to rouse my Country's ire And imp once more the Storks dejected wing To Solitude indignant I retire And leave the World to parasites & Kings
--------
Not like the deer whom wearied in the Chase Each leaf astonishes, each breeze appals, But like the Lion when he turns the chase Back on his hunters, & the valiant falls.
