'We barbarously call them blest,
Who are of largest tenements possest,
While swelling coffers break their owner's rest.
More truly happy those who can
Govern that little empire, man;
Who spend their treasure freely, as 'twas given
By the large bounty of indulgent Heaven;
Who, in a fix'd unalterable state,
Smile at the doubtful tide of Fate,
And scorn alike her friendship and her hate.
Who poison less than falsehood fear,
Loath to purchase life so dear.'

And the full tide comes rolling in.
Let a fierce, unruly, joy,
The settled quiet of thy mind destroy.'

(Anon.)

391. PERS. Sat. ii. v. 3.

'Thou know'st to join
No bribe unhallow'd to a prayer of thine;
Thine, which can ev'ry ear's full test abide,
Nor need be mutter'd to the gods aside!
No, thou aloud may'st thy petitions trust!
Thou need'st not whisper; other great ones must;
For few, my friend, few dare like thee be plain,
And prayer's low artifice at shrines disdain.
Few from their pious mumblings dare depart,
And make profession of their inmost heart.
Keep me, indulgent Heaven, through life sincere,
Keep my mind sound, my reputation clear.
These wishes they can speak, and we can hear.
Thus far their wants are audibly exprest;
Then sinks the voice, and muttering groans the rest:
'Hear, hear at length, good Hercules, my vow!
O chink some pot of gold beneath my plough!
Could I, O could I, to my ravish'd eyes,
See my rich uncle's pompous funeral rise;
Or could I once my ward's cold corpse attend,
Then all were mine!' '

392. PETRON.

'By fable's aid ungovern'd fancy soars,
And claims the ministry of heavenly powers.'

393. VIRG. Georg. i. 412.

'Unusual sweetness purer joys inspires.'

394. TULL.

'It is obvious to see that these things are very acceptable to
children, young women, and servants, and to such as most resemble
servants; but they can by no means meet with the approbation of people
of thought and consideration.'

410. TER. Eun. Act v. Sc. 4.

'When they are abroad, nothing so clean and nicely dressed, and when
at supper with a gallant, they do but piddle, and pick the choicest
bits: but to see their nastiness and poverty at home, their gluttony,
and how they devour black crusts dipped in yesterday's broth, is a
perfect antidote against wenching.'

411. LUCR. i. 925.

The master of th' Æolian song.'

When Thermedon with bloody billows roll'd;
Such troops as these in shining arms were seen,
When Theseus met in fight their maiden queen;
Such to the field Penthesilea led,
From the fierce virgin when the Grecians fled.
With such return'd triumphant from the war,
Her maids with cries attend the lofty car;
They clash with manly force their moony shields;
With female shouts resound the Phrygian fields.'

'In sleep, when fancy is let loose to play,
Our dreams repeat the wishes of the day.
Though farther toil his tired limbs refuse.
The dreaming hunter still the chace pursues,
The judge abed dispenses still the laws,
And sleeps again o'er the unfinish'd cause.
The dozing racer hears his chariot roll,
Smacks the vain whip, and shuns the fancied goal.
Me too the Muses, in the silent night,
With wonted chimes of jingling verse delight.'

By adding to my page Messala's name.'

wit and satire, with an equal share of good humour.'

'He, Sir, is proof to grandeur, pride, or pelf,
And, greater still, he's master of himself:
Not to and fro, by fears and factions hurl'd,
But loose to all the interests of the world;
And while the world turns round, entire and whole,
He keeps the sacred tenor of his soul.'

'Augurs and soothsayers, astrologers,
Diviners, and interpreters of dreams,
I ne'er consult, and heartily despise:
Vain their pretence to more than human skill:

Deduct the sixpence, and bestow the rest.'

'Whence is't, Mæcenas, that so few approve
The state they're placed in, and incline to rove;
Whether against their will by fate imposed,
Or by consent and prudent choice espoused?
Happy the merchant! the old soldier cries,
Broke with fatigues and warlike enterprise.
The merchant, when the dreaded hurricane
Tosses his wealthy cargo on the main,
Applauds the wars and toils of a campaign:
There an engagement soon decides your doom,
Bravely to die, or come victorious home.
The lawyer vows the farmer's life is best,
When at the dawn the clients break his rest.
The farmer, having put in bail t' appear,
And forced to town, cries they are happiest there:
With thousands more of this inconstant race,
Would tire e'en Fabius to relate each case.
Not to detain you longer, pray attend,
The issue of all this: Should Jove descend,
And grant to every man his rash demand,
To run his lengths with a neglectful hand;
First, grant the harass'd warrior a release,
Bid him to trade, and try the faithless seas,
To purchase treasure and declining ease:
Next, call the pleader from his learned strife,
To the calm blessings of a country life:
And with these separate demands dismiss
Each suppliant to enjoy the promised bliss:
Don't you believe they'd run? Not one will move,
Though proffer'd to be happy from above.'

Are laid aside, like abdicated kings;
And every moment alters what is done,
And innovates some act, till then unknown.'

SOME ADVERTISEMENTS FROM THE ORIGINAL NUMBERS OF THE SPECTATOR.

In No. 1 Books only were advertised; and they were, Dr. James Drake's 'Anthropologia Nova; or, a New System of Anatomy;' Sir William Petty's 'Political Arithmetic;' a translation of Bernard Lamy's 'Perspective made Easie;' 'The Compleat Geographer;' an Essay towards the Probable Solution of this Question, 'Where those birds do probably make their abode which are absent from our Climate at some certain Times and Seasons of the Year. By a Person of Learning.' The second edition of 'The Origin and Institution of Civil Government Discussed,' by the Rev. Benjamin Hoadly, M.A., Rector of St. Peter's poor (who did not become a Bishop until 1715); a third edition of 'The Works of the Right Rev. Ezekiel Hopkins, late Lord Bishop of Londonderry,' and 'newly published, a Collection of Debates, Reports, Orders and Resolutions of the House of Commons, touching the right of Electing Members to serve in Parliament.'

No. 2 was without Advertisements. Nos. 3 to 9 still advertised only Books. No. 10 placed five miscellaneous advertisements before the books, one of 'The Number of Silk Gowns that are weekly sold at Mrs. Rogers's, in Exchange Alley,' one of a House to Let at Sutton, one of Spanish Snuff, and two of Clarets and Spanish (Villa Nova, Barcelona and Galicia) Wines. The book advertisements predominating still,--with at first only one or at most two general advertisements, as of Plain Spanish Snuff; Yew and Holly Plants for sale; the drinking glasses and decanters at the Flint Glass-House in Whitefryers; a large House to let with a Dove House, Stables, and all other conveniences; the sale of a deceased Gentleman's Furniture, or a Lieutenant's Commission lost or mislaid,--we come to the first of the quack advertisements in No. 25. They are from separate houses, one of a 'Chrystal Cosmetick,' the other 'A most Incomparable Paste for the Hands, far exceeding anything ever yet in Print: It makes them Delicately white, sleek and plump; fortifies them against the Scorching heat of the Fire or Sun, and Sharpness of the Wind. A Hand cannot be so spoilt but the use of it will recover them.'

In No. 27 the first advertisement is of a Consort of Vocal and Instrumental Musick by the best Masters, which would be performed for the benefit of Mrs. Moore, at the Desire of several Persons of Quality. It was to be given 'at the Two Golden Balls, in Hart Street, the Upper End of Bow Street, Covent Garden.'

The first advertisement in the following number is of a boarding school for young gentlewomen, 'near the Windmill in Hampstead.' 'The famous Water Theatre of the Ingenious Mr. Winstanly' was to be opened on the ensuing Easter Monday, and

'There is a Parcel of extraordinary fine Bohee Tea to be sold at 26s.

Christmas last Published in the _Postman_, _Tatler_ and _Courant_, a
long Advertisement of his large Experience and great Success in curing
the Small-Pox, even of the worst Kind and Circumstances, having had a
Reputation for it almost 30 years, and can say than not 3 in 20
miscarry under his hands, doth now contract it; and only repeats, that
he thinks he has attain'd to as great a Certainty therein (and the
Measles which are near of Kin) as has been acquir'd in curing any one
disease (an Intermitting Feaver with the Bark only excepted) which he
conceives may at this time, when the Small-Pox so prevails, and is so
mortal, justify his Publications, being pressed by several so to do,
and hopes it may be for the Good of many: He has had many Patients
since his last Publication and but One of all dy'd. He hath also
Certificates from above 20 in a small time Cured, and of the worst
sort. What is here offered is Truth and Matter of Fact; and he will,
if desired, go with any one to the Persons themselves who have been
Cured, many of whom are People of Value and Figure: 'Tis by a correct
Management, more than a great deal of Physick, by which also the Face
and Eyes are much secured; tho' one Secret he has (obtained only by
Experience and which few or none know besides) that when they suddenly
strike in very rarely fails of raising them again in a few Hours, when
many other things, and proper too, have not answered. He does not
desire, nor aim at the supplanting of any Physician or Apothecary
concerned, but gives his assisting Advice if desired, and in such a
way not Dishonourable or Injurious to either.'

Mr. Payn had also in his Toyshop 'an Infallible Electuary for Coughs and Colds,' an 'Incomparably Pleasant Tincture to Restore the Sense of Smelling,' and 'an Assured Cure for Leanness,' as well as

'The famous Bavarian Red Liquor:

Which gives such a delightful blushing Colour to the Cheeks of those
that are White or Pale, that it is not to be distinguished from a
natural fine Complexion, nor perceived to be artificial by the nearest
Friend. Is nothing of Paint, or in the least hurtful, but good in many
Cases to be taken inwardly. It renders the Face delightfully handsome
and beautiful; is not subject to be rubb'd off like Paint, therefore
cannot be discovered by the nearest friend. It is certainly the best
Beautifier in the World.'
