Imitation of Milton.


——Sing Heavenly Muſe,

Things unattempted yet in Prose or Rhyme,

A Shilling, Breeches, and Chimera’s dire

Happy the Man, who void of Cares and Strife,

In Silken or in Leathern Purſe retains

A Splendid Shilling: he nor hears with pain

New Oyſters cry’d, nor ſighs for cheerful Ale;
