From the St. James Chronicle. [signed] Abraham Lovechild. 
THE TRAVELLER AND SNAKE.  AN EMBLEM. OF THE USE OF SELF
DENIAL.
With hasty steps, at the first dawn of day,
The chearful traveller pursues his way;
But tir'd at noon he seeks a shady grove
Of lofty trees, whose branches meet above'
Conceal'd beneath the grass the serpent lies'
The swain draw near and by his venom dies.
