Poems in Manuscript 'Tis Friendship's pledge, my Young, fair friend 'Twas on a lofty vase's side A Hermit on the Banks of Trent, A Knife, dear Girl, cuts Love, they say A Man of Wisdom may disguise A Northern pair, we wave the name All hail! inexorable lord! All in the Downs the fleet was moor'd As Nero Laughing saw the flames consume As on his Death-bed gasping Strephon lay As some fond virgin, whom her mother's care As those we love decay, we die in part Asses milk, half a pint, take at seven, or before; At length escap’d from ev’ry Human Eye At Se'noke so fam'd for Virginity old Before creating Nature will'd Beneath this Stone lies Katherine Gray Blest be the Man! his Memory at least Blush not, ye Fair, to own me, but be wise Boy! bring an Ounce of Freeman's best Bright was the Morning, cool was the Air Brimful of anger, not of love By your Honour's Command, an Example I stand Captive brother, break thy chain Careful Observers may foretel the Hour Clio, behold this charming Day Come melancholy! Silent pow’r Could but our tempers move like this machine Cries Celia to a reverend Dean Dear Cloe, while the busy croud Dear Mem'ry, guardian of each past delight Dear Peggy, since the single state Deign, gracious God, to hear my feeble lays Despairing, beside a clear Stream Father of All! in every Age FLAVIA. The wretched Flavia on her couch reclin'd, Forc'd from home, and all its pleasures, Friend, Sister, Partner of that gentle Heart From Frozen Climes and Endless Tracts of Snow From happy Climes where Vertue never dyes From Me, Dear Charles, inspir’d with Ale Gentle breath of melting sorrow God bless the King! (I mean our faith's defender!) God prosper long our gracious King,/ Now sitting on the Throne God prosper long our noble King/ our lives and safeties all Goddess of golden dreams, whose magic pow'r Great Edmund hoarse, you say the reason clear; Hail artless Simplicity, beautiful maid, Hail, happy bride! for thou art truly blest Hard is the task my friend to me has giv’n Hark! my gay friend, that solemn toll Has not my Friend transported run Hear all you Friends to Knighthood Heav'n first taught letters for some wretch's aid Here lies Father & Mother, & Sister and I Here lies poor Johnson: reader have a care, His Time was quick, his Touch was neat How are thy servants blest, O Lord! How gaily is at first begun How sleep the Brave, who sink to Rest I am monarch of all I survey I Ask not Wit, nor Beauty do I crave I heard the Sisters of the Sacred Well I Hold for faith I love thee, mournful sober-suited night I love with all my heart/ The Tory party here I took Pen, Ink, and Paper too I'm [not] High-Church, nor Low-church, nor Tory, nor Whig I'm a strange composition as e'er was in nature If this fair rose offend thy sight If you by Theft, this Book should take Immortal Newton never spoke Imprimis---my departed shade I trust In Charles the Second’s Golden Days In earliest times, ere man had learn'd In my dark Cell, low prostrate on the Ground In vain the Gods benign impart In what soft Language shall my Thoughts get free Indulgent God, whose bounteous Care Indulgent Nature to each Kind bestows Is not my measter here among you, pray? It must be done, my Soul; but 'tis a strange Julia once struck me with a Ball of Snow Let coward Guilt with pallid Fear Like a Newton sublimely he soar'd Little Girl in swadling Cloaths Lock'd in the arms of balmy sleep Made to engage all hearts and charm all eyes Mistaken fair, lay Sherlock by My Time, O ye Muses, was happily spent Nature, perversly to your wish, has given Near his paternal seat, here buried lies O Happiness, celestial fair O Holkam! blest, belov'd abode! O Thou whose friendship is my joy and pride, O thou, who labour'st in this rugged Mine Oft I've implor'd the gods in vain Oh be thou blest with all that Heav'n can send Oh why dear Sister, Why dear Brother Oh you who deign my Book peruse Oh, spotless paper, fair and white! On you dear Jim, the ready muse Painful source of many a sorrow! Parent of virtue, if thine ear Pity the sorrows of a poor old man! Poor melancholy bird—that all night long Remote from Liberty and Truth Rise, honour'd Poet, from thy hallow'd bed Roving through life's uncertain ways Say, Mighty Love, and teach my Song Sceptre of ease! whose calm domain extends Since Language never can describe my Pain Since thine is the only power on earth we know Since you, dear Doctor, sav'd my Life Soon as the morn salutes your eyes Stop, passenger! until my life you read Struck with religious awe, and solemn dread Sure of Success, to You I boldly write Sweet are the charms of her I love Sweet bird! that kindly perching near Sweet instrument of him for whom I mourn Sweet Solitude, thou placid queen, Take Wing, my Soul, and upwards bend thy Flight Take, holy earth, all that my soul holds dear Tell me, ye prim adepts in Scandal's school That, which Her slender Waist confin'd The Counsels of a Friend, Belinda, hear The Curfew tolls the hour of closing gates The Curfew tolls the Knell of parting Day The Day of Wrath, that Dreadful Day The Devils were brawling at Burnet's descending The Glories of our Birth and State The Goddesses once, as the old Poets tell us The old Egyptians hid their Wit The poplars are fell'd, and adieu to the shade The rose had been wash'd, just wash'd in a shower The Scepticks think, 'twas long ago, The solitary bird of night The sun sets in night, and the stars shun the day The tuneful throng was ever beauty's care Thee, Mary, with this Ring I wed Think not by rig'rous Judgment seiz'd This Preacher, silent yet severe Thou Pow'r supreme, by whose Command I live Thou who dost all my worldly Thoughts employ Thro' the blest round of youths delightful hours Thy Buckles, O Garrick, thy Friends may now Use, Thy steady Pen what matchless Genius guides Time was, when many a cheerful thought To high Parnassus' shady seat To thee dear wife,—and all must grant To thee, dear Swift, these spotless leaves I send Tomorrow, didst thou say! Too well these lines that fatal truth declare, Turn, gentle hermit of the dale, Two or three Dears, and two or three Sweets Underneath this sable hearse Unequal, how shall I the search begin? Unskill'd in Numbers & poetic flight Unspoilt by flattery, and Untaught by art View not this Spire by Measure giv'n Virtue and Fame, the other day Welcome little helpless stranger What art thou, Spleen, which everything dost ape? What Fears, what Terrors does thy Gift create! When Bath, grown temperate, his bottle leaves When Delia on the Plain appears When e'er the cruel hand of death When Foes are o'ercome, we preserve them from Slaughter When Horace wak'd his lyric strains When Pallas saw the piece her pupils wrought When Snows descend, and robe the Fields When Tadloe walks the Streets, the Paviours Cry Where the loveliest expression to features is join'd While Night in solemn Shade invests the Pole Whilst half asleep my Chloe lies Whilst well-wrote lines our wond'ring eyes command White as her hand fair Julia threw Who e'er is at Crewe Who many a sturdy Oak has laid along Whoe'er like me, with trembling anguish brings Why does the Fair this Task impose Why droops the head, why languishes the eye Why mourns my friend! why weeps his downcast eye? Why should our joys transform to pain; Why start? the Case is yours, or will be soon Wife and Servant are the same With sense enough for half your sex beside Without preamble, to my friend Wou'd you think it, my Duck! (for the fault I must own) Ye distant Spires, ye antique Towers Ye Nymphs of Solyma! begin the song Ye weeping muses, graces, virtues tell
