Mr. Parks, Please to insert the following lines, which were
wrote by a friend of mine, in your next Gazette; and you'll
oblige Your Humble Servant, H.P.
OCCASIONALLY WRITTEN TO A FRIEND.
Who wou'd have thought that Bella's frown
Cou'd so have cast your spirit down!
Or e'er believ'd that one so gay,
Wou'd gravely fool his heart away,
To pride, a vain, fantastic fair,
That is not worth thy moment's care;
And make fops, apes, and coxcombs sport,
Her fav'rites, and her chief resort!
Or join the herd, or break her chain,
And show yourself a man again.
