ALL THE TALENTS.

“And all the talents were heaped together.” —Book of Numbers.

The talents which God for man's use has design'd
Are mostly seen single, and seldom combin'd.
There's a talent to cheat, and a talent to smuggle;
A talent to jeer, and a talent to juggle:
There's a talent to rob, and there's one to deceive;
There's a talent to lie, and a talent to thieve.
There's a talent to love gold, places, and pensions;
There's a talent, to wit, to claim first rate pretensions.
To fraud and corruption, too, talents are seen,
To rage, disappointment, confusion, and spleen.
But, oh! to see all, what a rare conflagration!
These talents to blaze in one Administration.
