A SOT Couchant.

HIS Figul-e, not improperly d@nys, What may our just Abhorrence hlrcwise rnise.

Ebriety is here a t full Length seen, And different is the Posture and the Mm. This Fellow puts us on mother View, Reachmg for Drink, lie reaches but to spew. Y’he Full-pot stubborn, uncomplymg stands And whde the Glass tlps oler, flies his I-Iands. Fain mould the Wretch wth Wlg to Chab afiix’d, And Fube on Ground w t h Dust and Spittle mix’d, Prostrate upon l m Face on Table he, Downwad he casts a glmmeriag sicltning Eyc, That redmng s h n s the Light and flies the Sky. But oz1 1 nor Indolence, for which ho calls, Nor Sleep upon his restless Dye-lids fUs. Gudt nnd more Driulr st111 h o l d the Sot awake, He gapes, and thlrsts for Thmtmess’s sake. Drowsie, he thinks the Room aroul~d to swim, When ’trs himself tlmt’s XI his wonted Trim, 7 And Motion circulates doue in him.

A SOT Dormant.

Ancl Treasure from his Habitatloll flovn, B’er since hx Family remain’d unfed, Anil his own Lust of Drink deny’d them Bread : But yet alas ! when the awnk’ning Xorn Shall all his former Images retunt, Whel1 Truth shall stare the Drunkard 111 the Face, And represent his sad and dismnl Case, Then, then he’ll see, nltho’ p e r l q s too late, The Rume tlnt attends his lmples State, And find, to his irremedialde Pain, H’ has Drmh to Slcep, nucl Slcyt to R r i d agnln.

A SOT Suli~~1tt. H E N Heels are heavy, and when IIencZ is light,

And Um-lorstmnding bids the Wretch Goocl- p&t,

To make a Lerrp, cannot be very right. But; yet there's some Excuse for this same Sot, TVho turns 111s Back upon the Pipe and Pot ; Both empty, then sufficient Grounds enough, FOT his Endeavours to be marching off, By groping out his Way to find the Door And shun the Dreadfùl Chalk, that marks tho r l rcd 'n l

[SCOlY!. Would he take time to think, h'd soon remark

The Leop he strwes to take, is in the Dark, And that this heedless Drunlrnrd, to his Cost, When all his Faculties o f Soul are lost, W111 find, amidst his most insatiate Drau * h , I l l Acts Forerunners of ill Boding Thoag B Its; W h c h must, in splght of all his tippling Haste To gratifie an undlgestmg Taste, Fulfil the Proverb, and its Truth aecnre, Thnt sq-s, Sweet Meat8 wzll l~nvc CL X a m c tIt,at'S Xont'r, 7 Since lie that drinks for Wealth must certanlly be

Irst let’s with J~astice in the Aint begin, A SIGN that seems an Enn1it.y wlth Sin ;

et, as without ’tis blind, it winks n t Crimes mlthin. t Here sulking Debtors, who the Laws evade Are Judges ín the Laws Defiance made, And make a, Jest of what has been their Dread. I-Iere suppliant Balli& with uplifted Hands, At their unmerciful Tribunal stands; Certain that n o Excuses they’ll ndmlt li‘ in his Poclcet there be found a Writ ; Thnt plunges h m in Ditch o’er Head nncl Ems, Whose’er Authority or Stamp it bears ; But still, however ~-1entllenisll is the Club, Tho Lmdlord’s said to sell p o d Christian B1d; Rad, ns the Lnwrell’d Satynst relates, The Bunkrupts have their Jests, he k i r Estatas.

Rom hence, (since Justice is to Justice clone, Here out of Date with every Mother’s Son,)

If you’d encourage auch familiar Scabs, As sell rum B o u e to those that wear queer Nabs, That stri1)’d of all, by Spckets ancl by ‘hp, L e awillmg from the reach of dreadful S n a p :

Stands ready to accost you f o r a Dram ; Or else, if Money cannot m e so high, And nought but Copper Johw in Poclret lp, T o squeeze you of a Tnldwd, for he’s clry. Manners and he have long nt Variance been, No Footsteps of his €1--sty are seen ; F o r tho’ he draws, and servos his Drink in Phte, And malres his Quarts and Pints t o circulate. Tho’ the rich Oar ru11s sluning throY his I‘Iousc,

Will, (for his Female Chaps Hoop- Pctticocded) Be, (tho’ ’twere not on Record) bravely noted. T h s Man of Men is Mettle to the Back, ICnows how to carry Gold n-Pick-a-Pack, Allcl has of sudden ’Schemes n, Wondrous ICnncl~ Witness the Duke cl’Azsmotrt, who bought the Rabbit, Ancl fro111 whom he escap’cl in Gnrd’aers Habit. Witness hls dcxtrous Skill in Running Goods, I-Iis Brandies, Pictures ancl his Lute-string Hoods : All these, ancl move he is most throughly vers’d in, But ne’er detected, not one Doit nmers’d in. Mnch Good, say I (tho’ with that Trade clanclestiinc, Experience t,ells us that there is no Jesting) May tlzese his clanculor Projections do him, Wille none can say that 6~ack’s !bis ~yebron, to him. Since all Men, ’till they’re caught, are just accounted, And who ne’er saw him holv’d, ne’er saw him n~ozlntctl. Since not one Drop of Liqno1* he retails, Of leasing, 111 bis courteous Dwelling, fails, Rn$ all 111s Beers are prais’cl, and al1 his Ales. But above all, were it suppos’cl the Man Could not obtain Rcspect, the Women c m , Sillco ev’ry Strzm t ha t his Abode has try’d, Ancl shewn t,lle C u o p ~ ’ s h m s extendecl widc Iras, tllougb upon her Bach, Applauses on l1er ÀWC. 3

Whose Laacllorcl, wuYi CG Boatswain’s Toice that’s [hoarse,

(Say vhat he will, he has had that Post of course) Bawls for his Vassals this and that to Draw, And keeps them, hurried off their Legs in Awe. As Mun by Name, so he’ll by Nature be, And bounce and uff by Zcuad, as well as #ecc, Here every hquor is serv’d up u1 State, And every poor Mechanick drmks in Plate ; Looks formidably great, no Mona1dl higher, Than him when blust’rmg o’er Tom Man’s ENTIRE, For so the Relech 1s call’d that sets his Face on 1.m ; But above all the Customers, there’s nolle Like Bn2l c m Rattle, or bke H~l1 call Pzla. A Darber, and tenaclous Prate a-pacer, With Wit not half so sharp as is his 12nzo1-; Niclmam’d Born-d~~mk,, he’s still devolcl of SwsoR, Yet stdl t o Lcttin mahag strange Pretcnccs, As with hís Host he ever nlakes a stir, And cry’s to h m hio mvat Thomas Vir.

O W for a House with Sots repIete, and full N Of C?wps that deal wlth Gold for Dridh- [not Wool;

For Gold's the Man that keeps it by-the-by, Once a most merry Snob in Garret high. There, Swarms of Topers of all sorts fre uent, From Daily Labourers, to Men styled Bent. Of all Oplnions and of all Conditions, Lawyers, pooh, fitatesmen, Tuylors, Politicians, Grave Pldomnths, Shoemahers, and Physicians. These all, though not of Principles alike, Upon the self-aame Key, in one thhg strike, As Tories, Whip , HirJldXurch and Lon, confess, No Beer in Town deserves an ill Word less; Or, to the Landlord's Credit, be it said, Better delight the Tu,stc, and wears a better ZTcud, While Org--n, Champion to Tautivy Club, Holdg it to be most uncontested Bub; And Msthematick W-son lays it down For Truth, as plain, as Three are more than Ofle, This Tzpple is the Best beneath the Sun. I Netc-f i or young Sir Isaac, says 'tis SQ, And calls the Drink &celZentissimo; Another, equally of arts most bright, Christens It by the $ame of Bmpisz te ; But Teague, the Fellow that this Liquor draws, Speaks much more rightly in its just Applause, When he (Cadwnkllder), to do it Grace, Cry it i s ORTHODOX, with serious Face.

S A Y what you will, when all is done or said,

Thence, with unsullied Streams the Liquor springs, Smoother than is his Voice when Stcc--s sings, And tunes his Pipes to Staves ofPsa2m thought-meet, For ood St. Mathew’s Church in FrridGy-Street. I n 8 ales (such is th’ observant Trav’ler’s Tale), P a r s o ~ t ~ ~ themselves turn Victuallers, and sell Ale, For want of good fat Stipends, there but thin, Which make them retail potent Drmk and Gin. I speak not this to make the Clergy cheap, But to lament the Fate of Tcttter’d Cmpe, That to this sad Necessity is driven, Although he’s styl’d EL Messenger of Heaucn ; Either upon Ten Pou1td.9 a Year t,o starve, Or in thls EarthZy way, submit to serve ; If so-and without Oensure too-’tis plain, A Pard1 Clerk may do the same for Gain. May unrestrain’d by Curb from Canon-Law, OcCober, and Fine Drink of all sorts draw ; And may the Man that keeps this House of Trade, Increase th’ Advantages that hence a1-e made, And m the Sale of every Thing that’s good, Go on to thrive, as a11 fair Dealers shou’d, While I to do him Justice with my Pen, Invite his Customers to say AMEN.

[are right, Deep, racy, strong, and palateahly bright; 5 But above all that recommends this Home, Is the well natur’d Master of the Dome, Since every Soul must hold that Edward Dennis, The best of Neighbours and the best of Men is, While his mdustrious, and careful Spouse, Makes H hat’s a Publiclr, seem a Private House ; As all Things neat and exquisitely clean, Speak a compleat Oecono~n~st within. And theu son Eclniard shews 7~110111 he befhends, From what a good liv’d couple he descends ; Since he takes Pride in doing courteous Acts, And ~ W L J ~ S t u ~ n s his Promises to Facts : May this their Inclustry’s and Vertue’s Heir, All Blessings with his 11appy Parents share. &¡kv the fair Object of his h o ~ ~ e s t Love, If 6e the Joys of Matrimony prove, B e such as 111s good Mother ever was, True to her Marriage-Vow and Hymen’s Lnws : Dutiously just, beneficiently kmd, The same 111 Body, and tbe same in Mincl; Thnt from their chast Endearments may arise, Pledges to glad the~r Hearts and grace their Eyes ; Suc11 as did from Llfe’s Chrystnl Fountain Stream, W h e n first his Parents Eyes were fix’d on him.
