 ( xxiv )

May thofe who are not of humble birth, be of hum ble mind.

May we never think amiis fo as to judge wrong.

May the fword of peace be fwayed by the hand of mercy.

May the mifer's fear anticipate difgrace.

May our paflions never overturn our reafon.

Modefty in our difcourfes, moderation in our wifhes, and mutuality in our affections.

Prudence to prevent, or courage to overcome danger.

Perdition to the man tnat owes his greatnefs to his country's ruin.

Pleafures that pleafe on reflection.

Reafon in our actions, religion in our thoughts, and reflection in our expreflions.

Society's fureft cements temperance and modefly.

The revenues of princes to the hands of the bene ficent.

May the pleafures of this evening bear the reflections of the morning.
