 May we never fwear a tradefman out of his due, nor

a credulous girl out of her virtue. May our friends be always at home, and our enemies

abroad. May the colours of war be foon difperfed, by the

funfhineof peace. May the innocent fair that is betrayed, never want a

brother to refent At. May the friends we love be fincere, and the country

we live in be free.

Mav we never tafte the apples of affliction. Perpetual difappointment to the enemies of Old

England.

Plenty to a generous mind. Succefs to the foil, the fleece, and the flail. Succefs to our hopes, and enjoyment to our wifh.es. Tafle to our pleafure, and pleafure to our tafte May prudence, moderation, and an invariable atten tion to the public good, cement the people of

England.

The king to the laws, and the church to the bible. May the ladies never want gentlemen to protect them,

nor gentlemen ladies to direct them. Harmony all over the world. Good luck till we are tired of it May every honed man turn out a rogue. May poverty be always a day's march behind us. May they never want, who have fpirit to fpend. May the prefent meeting be often repeated. May we be roufed, but not rendered defperate by

oppreffion. May we fly from the temptations which we cannot

refift. A good horfe, a warm houfe, a fnug eftate, and a

pretty wife, to every man that deferves them. All that love can give, or ienfibility enjoy.

A good
