What frenzy can possess my low born Soul That aims among the tuneful spheres to roll Oft wak'd as from a dream, from strains divine } By angry dun, I lack th'appeasing coin } It may be, have not where withall to dine } Ah! then the heart felt rhapsody is o'er And then I vow to court the muse no more But soon my heart resumes the fond desire Affections long indulg'd, but slow expire. Again the pleasing prospect I review Again the song descriptive I renew. Oh! would some gen'rous patronizing freind My Murthering woes, and dire vexations end, Dismiss each threatening dun, each anxious care And bid me eat, and sing devoid of fear Loud should my grateful song proclaim his praise Whose fost'ring hand, does freindless genius raise His kind commands my future themes should name His freindly [[underline]] council guide my [[/underline]] flight to fame.
