How oft, exulting, have we view'd the _Moor_[31] For Christian captives open Freedom's door; We've stared to hear the _Valet_'s[32] ready fib, And shudder'd when the _Cobbler_[33] strapp'd his rib. How, when Barbadoes' merry bells did ring, We've smiled to see thee _Trudge_[34] and hear thee sing; Thy _Ben_[35] and _Dory_[36] were of right true blue, Thy _Sheva_[37] warm'd us to respect a _Jew_. To _Feign well_[38] thou indeed couldst make pretence, Thy brilliant eye was all intelligence; In thee we lost the flow'r of _City youths_,[39] And now no _Lenitive_[40] our sorrow soothes. We care not whether tithes be paid or left, Since of our _Acres_[41] we have been bereft; We dread Spring Rice's yearly fiscal bore, But grieve _Thy Budget_[42] can be heard no more. Great Garrick's pet,--an ancient fav'rite's son,-- Upon the stage thy public course was run, Tho', in thy youth, a painter; and, as man, Thou didst draw houses in a _Caravan_[43]. And well thou couldst support a _Storm_[44], but Gout Life's _little farthing rushlight_[45] has blown out: Thou'rt gone, and from all further ills art screen'd, For thou didst follow _Conscience, not the Fiend_[46]. Mourn'd in public and private, thou wouldst not come back; "_Be quiet! I know it_"[47]--thou 'rt happier, Jack! J.S. [26] Colonel Oldboy in Lionel and Clarissa. [27] Walter The Children in the Wood.
