GEORGE COLMAN, Efq;

O live beneath the golden ftar of love,

T°

With happier fancy, paffions more refin'd; Each foftning charm of tenderness to prove, And all the finer movements of the mind.

FROM gifts like these, fay what the boasted gain
Of those who exquifitely feel or know?
-The skill from pleasure to extract it's pain,
And open
all the avenues of woe.

YET fhall we, COLMAN, at thefe gifts repine ?Implore cold apathy to steel the heart?

Would you that fenfibility refign?

And with those powers of genius would you part?

AH no! my friend; nor deem the verse divine, That weakness wrote in Petrarch's gentle strain! When once he own'd at love's unfavouring shrine "A thousand pleafures were not worth one pain."
