TO MAJOR ROOKE of MANSFIELD,
ON THE PUBLICATION OF HIS DIURNAL REGISTER OF THE WINDS FOR THE TWO LAST YEARS.
OCTOBER, 1796.
No gale unlucky may thy fortunes find,
Benign historian of the wayward wind!
But, when it rises with proverbial sway,
O! may it cast all fickleness away
On grateful wings, from blight, and tempest free,
Blow only good, from every point, to thee!
