This our present author has attempted,

which the fcriptures contain, relating
any one article of faith or practice,
ld be fairly quoted under each re-
tive head.-2. That the texts be ar-
ed in fuch order, as may add to their
picuity, and, at the fame time, illu-
e the fubject.-3. That a proper
ection be attended to, and the fe-
I chapters fo conftrufted, that each
form a regular and continued dif-

he plan is undoubtedly a rational

greatest use to every reader, who

He mov'd along with languid pace,
While o'er his fhoulder careless hung,
His powerful arrows in their cafe,
The plains by Flora newly dreft,
And by their fide his bow unftrung.
And on the meads in flow'ry veft,
In robes of lively green, he past;
One chearful glance he fcarcely cast.
At length with joy the wanderer føy'd
A fount with brim of violets dy'd,
A bower, within whofe verdant fhade,

Its ftreams in fofteft murmurs play'd.
Fair Peace, fo long from courts retir'd,
To most unknown, by all defir'd,
With state and folly never feen,
Prefided o'er this tranquil fcene.
It chanc'd that in the happy hour
Lucinda fought this very bow'r,
He enter'd in this cool retreat,
For fhelter 'gainst the scorching heat.
And on a bed of moffy down,

By nature for repofe defign'd,

With

many a new-fprung daify fown, Had juft her tender limbs reclin'd. The tinkling rill, the dufky fhade,

The fragrant bed, and filent hour,
Subjected foon the weary maid,

To Sleep's defpotic, pleafing power.
Morpheus, with gentle hand, had clos'd
Her eyes that might eclipfe the day,
And watchful of her as the doz'd,

Drove each uneafy thought away.
Some pleafing dream amus'd the fair,
Succefs at cards, or modish air
Perhaps th' approach of ball or play,

gentle fmile its fweets difplay'd,
pleafing little space had made,
And on her checks of lily hue,
Invades the bloom of fruit or flow'r,
As when a drop of balmy dew

The foft impreffion they retain,
The blemish makes their beauty more,
And but improves them by its stain.
Entranc'd the god of foft alarms,

Reviews each beauty o'er and o'er,
With eager look, and folded arms,

And feels a fenfe unknown before.
He gazes, files, draws near, retires,

By turns, by different motives prets'd, 'Till feeling what himself infpires,

The fleeping charmer thus addrefs'd: Within thy dimple's foft recefs,

My throne I'll fix, and thence impart,
Th' illufive dreams that firft poflefs

The surface of a youthful heart.
Thus faid, he fhook his little wings,

And to Lucinda's cheek withdrew,
From whence his powerful dart he flings,
Among th' admiring thoughtless crew.
