What frenzy dictates, jealousy believes
Here Shock, the pride of all his kind, is laid, Who fawned like man, but ne'er like man betrayed.
Twas when the seas were roaring With hollow blasts of wind, A damsel lay deploring, All on a rock reclined.
Fair words cost nothing.
To friendship every burden's light.
To frame the little animal, provide All the gay hues that wait on female pride: Let Nature guide thee; sometimes golden wire The shining bellies of the fly require; The peacock's plumes thy tackle must not fail, Nor the dear purchase of the sable's tail.
