supply,
With barm and milk beside,
To do them good each other vie,
To serve them is their pride.

The humble and the wealthy sing
To Albion's long success;
Good news for England pleasure bring,
And adverse gales distress.

Again on Page my humble strains,
With melancholy dwell;
To tell the grief and heart felt pains,
To bid a long farewell.

It's gratitude that urge the pen,
It's friendship leads the way;
To speak the virtues of a man,
That death has call'd away.

Oh may his spirit ever rest,
Beside the God of all,
And ever number'd with the blest,
Till he shall judge us all.

Death brought no terrors to his heart,
For resignation staid,
Till from his life he should depart,
And lent her cheering aid.

Oh God he cried I've no pretence,
To think election sure;
Cleanse, cleanse my soul, ere I go hence
And join me with the pure.

POLITICAL SURGEON.

Tune--"The Exciseman."

In a country village that's near,
A very good market for beef;
Thro' a lane a neat mansion appear,
Whose owner can give you relief.

No one in the place doubts his skill,
Due attention he pays to the poor,
To them he'll diminish his bill;
If adversity stands at the door.

I fear he brain fevers increase,
To those that are fond of the state,
To upbraid it he seldom will cease,
And will its mishaps glad relate.

To men that are loyal and brave;
Such stuff will but faintly go down,
All judge it the trick of a knave,
That endeavour to harass the crown.

When first to the village he went;
All pensions and placemen were bad,
Of doctrine so foul he's relent,
By vanity's rays he's misled.

When a man is well known to be poor,
Such gammon he'll cram in your ear,
Yet when the wolf's fled from his door,
He a different thing will appear.

The time that I stated 'twas thought,
He scarcely could raise half a crown,
And some people say not a groat,
Till a lady arrived in the town.

But soon he found money in hand,
Enough for to purchase a farm,
Of two hundred acres of land,
Which did all his cravings disarm.

He attended me once to ease pain;
I found him a man very wise;
