REMARKS ON THE TIMES
[A number of remarks are given on political themes, some
with poems included.]
Poor Chremes can't conduct his own estate,
And thence has undertaken Europe's fate;
An incapacity for smaller things;
This makes him modle realms, and counsel Kings.
[from] Universal Passion
Narcissus, the Tartarian Club disclaims,
Nay, a Free-Mason, with some terror names,
Narcissus is the glory of his race;
For who does nothing with a better grace.
[from] Love of Fame
He's cautious, Sir, he's subtle, he's a courtier.
He's now for you, now for another,
For both, and neither: he's a summer insect,
And leaves the sunshine: on his gilded wings.
. . . [4 lines]
[from] The Brothers, in Youngs's Poetical Works
See commons, peers, and ministers of state,
In solemn council met, and deep debate!
What God like enterprize is taKing birth?
What wonder opens on the expecting earth?
. . . [2 lines]
[from] Universal Passion, Sect. III
