From this reading Her flame is unlit, and unfledg'd is her wing, Untun'd too her lyre, for it has but one string; Therefore 'tis in vain, I sit down to my desk, To paint the sublime, or the true picturesque, For my muse is unworthy poor ignorant Vandal, To pipe on the genius of Hackfall's old sandal.

From this reading _Rippon, August 6th._ As soon as Aurora came sun-rob'd and flaunting, Our party arose to continue their jaunting, But think not our hurry to run after pleasure, Could make us forget a good breakfast to treasure, Tho' we talk'd of fine colouring, site and vertu, Yet we gave the hot rolls and the muffins their due; And even those misses, "who died to be moving," Bare martyrdom well while the toast they were proving; Our wisdom and foretl ought admit no denial, Since our strength was about to experience a trial; For a medical work in the very first chapter, Declares that "exhaustion arises from rapture," And that 'vessels well laden may prove the occasion, Of giving the head a complete gravitation,' 444 Ye Naiads and Wood-nymphs, ye Sylphs, and ye Gnomes, Who flirt on the sun-beams, or languish in tombs, Who skim o'er the foam on the flow'r wave your pinion, The brilliant machinery of pages Darwinian.
