BOUTS RIMÉS

[_]

GIVEN BY A YOUNG FRIEND AT SUPPER, AND FILLED ON THE SPOT, ADDRESSED TO HIM.

O! that I could my lab'ring thought so dress
That grave rebuke might wear an aspect gay,
So should I wake fair virtue's sleeping ray
In thy young breast, thy riper age to bless.
So shouldst thou crown thy father's visions bright,
And, nobly roused, from Pleasure's shackles free,
Thy genius and thy worth should then agree;
Nor wouldst thou Reason's sober dictates slight.
Then wise and gentle, generous and brave,
Thy brow should thy soul's character assume,
Whose lasting trace should dignify the gloom
Of age one day, nor fade till in the grave.
Awake! awake! disdain each worthless care,
Spurn Pleasure's tinsel chain, and nobly dare!
Sept. 1801.
