THE GENERAL.

[]
IMMORTAL Shade! of each immortal Name!
That ſhines recorded in the Liſts of Fame;
Not thoſe who from hereditary Light,
With the falſe Glare of borrow'd Beams are bright;
But ſuch as Merit with rich Blood combine,
Reflecting Honour on a Noble Line;
That like the Phoenix, with peculiar Grace,
Unſtain'd preſerve the Beauties of their Race.
If the frail Buſtle of this tranſient State
With immaterial Spirits can have Weight,
From thoſe Aetherial Manſions where you reſt,
Star-crown'd, in Pomp of virtuous Glory bleſt,
[2] Propitious come—an honeſt Muſe inſpire—
Nerve her weak Wing—lend your heroic Fire—
With your undaunted Ardour lead her on,
And teach her, Eagle-like, to view the Sun:
None but the Bird of JOVE ſhould tempt a Flight,
That ruſhes on a Blaze of cloudleſs Light.
Firſt, JUSTICE come with thy impartial Scale,
Leſt Prejudice or Int'reſt ſhould prevail;
Take from Reflection ev'ry Power of Thought,
Ere that a ſingle Compliment be bought;
Shield Reaſon's Eye with thy protecting Hand,
From the dread Influence of PACTOLIAN Sand;
Which, ſcatter'd by Corruption as ſhe flies,
Pretending Patriots choaks—or dims their Eyes;
Corruption, who, as MIDAS could of old,
With magic Touch turns any Thing to Gold,
Locks up the Senſes, or inverts their Power,
Melting the hardeſt Heart with DANAE'S Show'r.
Nor yet let pois'nous Rage her Venom ſpit,
Satire run mad is the Buffoon of Wit;
From whoſe foul Mouth no Character's ſecure,
That lays the Baſtard Vice at any Door;
[3] That prays or curſes, wheedles or knocks down,
Urg'd by that powerful Motive—Half a Crown.
Wither ſuch Bays—if any Bays can riſe
Beneath the Influence of ſuch churliſh Skies;
Where no mild Gleams of Summer cheer the Plain,
But Storms and everlaſting Winter reign;
Bays which, like Nightſhade, ſcatter Poiſon round,
Infect the circling Air—profane the Ground;
Call forth Deſtruction from her dark Abodes,
And with fell Venom ſwell ten thouſand Toads.
Honeſt may CHURCHILL be, for ought I know,
Some Lines depict him, and I wiſh him ſo:
Let him enjoy his Profit and his Praiſe,
In theſe ſo politic and gen'rous Days;
Let him ſucceſsfully purſue his Plan,
And prey upon the tend'reſt Part of Man;
Bluſhleſs, remorſeleſs, and without Control,
Plunder th' immediate Jewel of the Soul:
Let him, Humanity thrown quite aſide,
Indulge his Spleen, his Int'reſt, or his Pride;
Let him in Scandal wade thro' Thick and Thin,
To praiſe each Out—and cenſure ev'ry In:
[4] Let him, to pleaſe a Crowd of Knaves and Fools,
Paint MONARCHS, or their MINISTERS, as Tools:
Let him, ſtill more to proſtitute the MUSE,
A neighb'ring Nation by the Lump abuſe:
Let him, in boundleſs Rage, pronounce the Lot
Of blackeſt Infamy to ev'ry SCOT:
Let him, like Humankind's imperial *Foe,
Wiſh to behead them at a ſingle Blow:
Let him, if not content to rail at home,
O'er the ſubmiſſive World's wide Limits roam;
Fit to engage a ſingle Foe or Hoſt,
Ready to fight a NABOB or a Ghoſt:
From Clime to Clime Malevolence transfer,
Diſtinguiſh'd—Nature's Executioner.
All this, as gracious Heav'n in Mercy ſends
Plagues to perplex us for peculiar Ends,
With Patience will we bear—but let him pauſe—
Nor longer dare, in raging Party's Cauſe,
(Party, of whom it may be juſtly ſaid,
Behold a Monſter! without Heart or Head,
By Madneſs, Av'rice, Pride, and Jealouſy,
Ingender'd on the Snake-lock'd Siſters three,
While Tyrant Satire waves her bloody Rod)
So oft to trifle with an awful GOD.
[5] That GOD whoſe Service to become a Wit,
The Rev'rend BARD moſt piouſly hath quit;
And why? Becauſe—Oh Reaſon moſt divine—
His narrow Income could not purchaſe Wine.
That GOD, who, were he cruel to this Earth,
As Men to Men for Profit are or Mirth,
With ſportive Thunder would confound the whole,
Nor ſpare e'en mighty CHURCHILL'S Patriot Soul.
Think not, miſtaken Bard, I am thy Foe,
I neither know thee, nor can wiſh to know:
Reflected in thy Works thy Mind I view,
And grieve to find it of a Sable Hue:
Strong Beams of Genius gild the STYGIAN Gloom,
And fancy Webs there in her fineſt Loom;
Expreſſion well arrays her verbal Band,
And Judgment leads them with a Maſter Hand;
While JANUS-fronted Int'reſt ſlily waves
A flaming Banner to all Party Slaves;
Whoſe gaudy Hieroglyphics catch the Eye,
A poor fantaſtic Shade of Liberty.
This Patch-work Medley, blending Right and Wrong,
An impious, moral, ſoothing, ſneering Song,
[6] That ſhows the tortur'd Muſe in various State,
Now bred at Court, now freſh from Billingſgate,
May cheat the Senſible, or charm the Rude,
May ſteal or thunder through the Multitude.
For my poor Part, by various Paſſions wrought,
I praiſe the Numbers while I damn the Thought;
I weep to ſee ſuch Flights of Golden Darts,
With deadly Poiſon tipp'd, to rankle Hearts;
And, while the lovely Snake-like Verſe I ſcan,
Praiſe crowns the Bard—while Cenſure marks the Man.
What has provok'd this unknown Scribe, you'll ſay,
This feeble, nameleſs Muſhroom of a Day;
This unfledg'd Rhimer to attempt a Flight,
When ſuch a Falcon Muſe appears in Sight?
What could induce the unimpaſſion'd Elf,
Who wiſhes me unfeeling as himſelf;
What Motives have arous'd the ſlumb'ring Drone,
Thus to aſſault me on Satiric Throne?
ME! ME! a Monoſyllable of Weight,
To give a thouſand grov'ling Reptiles Fate;
Can ſuch a lifeleſs and inſipid Thing
E'er hope to pierce me with his feeble Sting?
[7] As well a Bee, that hunts the flow'ry Field,
Might ſtrive to wound thro' AJAX' ſeven-fold Shield:
Mankind muſt ridicule ſo dull an ASS,
Who breaks his Hoof againſt a Front of Braſs.
Some Water-drinking Sprite—for gen'rous Wine
Would make a native Blockhead brighter ſhine:
Wine which he ſneers at in his tart Reproof,
As turning poor Divinity aloof:
With my own Weapons dares my pond'rous Rage,
A DAVID to GOLIAH on the Stage.
Well haſt thou pictur'd my unequal Force,
But think that DAVID check'd the GIANT'S Courſe;
I own thee Proof 'gainſt all Attacks of Shame,
Plung'd over Head and Ears in SHANNON'S *Stream;
But haſt thou too with great ACHILLES try'd
The mighty Pow'r of STYX'S awful Tide?
Is there no Spot wherein to make thee feel?
Yes, CONSCIENCE will convert thee all to Heel.
To pleaſe no Patron, nor to graſp at Pelf,
Slave to no Party—I oppoſe myſelf:
[8] Free by my Birth, ſtill freer by my Heart,
Of injur'd Humankind I take the Part;
Boldly I ſtand 'gainſt Paſſion's dang'rous Sway,
And with cool Wiſdom take the Middle Way;
Yet not ſo cold, but, for my Country's Good,
In Danger's Onſet I could ſpill my Blood;
Give freely my poor All to aid her Cauſe,
To guard her KING, and, guarding him, her LAWS.
With Generoſity and Friendſhip fir'd,
Why may not bounteous TEMPLE be admir'd?
TEMPLE! whoſe Principles reflected ſhow
The Richneſs, Taſte, and Elegance of STOWE.
Tho' diff'ring Stateſmen may explode his Aim,
Why may not DEVONSHIRE true Glory claim?
Whoſe ſteady Temper, and whoſe honeſt Heart,
Are nobly form'd to act a Patriot Part.
May we not ſafely honour and commend
In ROCKINGHAM a BRUNSWICK'S faithful Friend?
WENTWORTH! whoſe Virtues act without Controul,
Not more a Lord in Title than in Soul:
WENTWORTH! whoſe Noble Deeds his Mind approve;
WENTWORTH! whom Men and Liberty muſt Love.
[9]
Of ſilver-hair'd NEWCASTLE kindly ſing,
A well-deſigning Servant of his KING,
Tho' now, perhaps, o'erpow'r'd with num'rous Years,
Unfit to bear a Nation's cumb'rous Cares.
Hating, like SWIFT, a BISHOP for his Place,
Can we no Beauties in a DRUMMOND trace?
Shall modeſt Truth reſtrain her honeſt Tongue,
And leave him in the undiſtinguiſh'd Throng?
A Prelate by his Virtues dignify'd,
Juſt without Rigour, awful without Pride;
Pious without enthuſiaſtic Flame,
All that ſheds Luſtre on a ſacred Name,
Shines Rev'rend YORK—compleat in ev'ry Senſe,
Religion's Pride, and Boaſt of Eloquence.
Why ſhould we fear to ſpeak a SAVILE'S *Praiſe,
Whoſe Merits would adorn the richeſt Lays?
SAVILE! whom Wiſdom views with doating Eye,
Patron of calm and decent Liberty:
SAVILE! to Public Good alone inclin'd,
The Friend of Britain, and of Humankind.
Would it ſeem Treaſon, or a Lack of Wit,
To hail an able Miniſter in PITT?
[10] To ſay his Counſels gave a Nation Weight,
The Thunderbolt of Eloquence and State?
Reaſon cries no, Intention is the Baſe
On which the Pile of Praiſe or Shame we place.
Should we reverſe the Medal, and portray
Thoſe who prevail in Miniſterial Sway,
Fit to ſupply with Grace their arduous Parts,
Poſſeſs'd of ſhining Talents, upright Hearts,
Would REASON and BRITANNIA cry out Shame,
Branding our Numbers with a venal Name?
Let us hope not—the Number is but ſmall
That Councils guide, and cannot take in all:
This we may ſay beyond the Reach of Doubt,
Some Honeſt and ſome Able muſt be out;
Thence can we not infer, devoid of Sin,
None Honeſt or none Able that are in.
As does Religion, Politics afford
More than one Way to ſerve the Sov'reign Lord;
Poor is that Soul, in its own Notions bleſt,
That, chuſing one ſtrait Path, damns all the reſt;
As by unerring Wiſdom we are taught
That the moſt Perfect are not without Fault:
A noble Emulation may divide,
And Honeſty be found on ev'ry Side.
[11]
Shame to black Scandal, or foul-fac'd Reproach,
Caſt at a Man on Foot, or in a Coach;
The ſpatt'ring Bard, whatever his Pretence,
Is but a filthy Scavenger of Senſe:
Great Minds with Pleaſure Emulation feel,
But meagre Envy trips at Virtue's Heel.
Let us correct, but not with Whips of Steel,
Feathers more winningly inſtruct to feel;
One Tickling leads to each defective Part,
The other, ſluicing Blood, benumbs the Heart.
Oh may the Muſe, debauch'd, ne'er prove ſo looſe
To ſtain herſelf with general Abuſe;
Impartial, may ſhe be in Honour bold,
Nor praiſe, nor cenſure, at the Chink of Gold.
Here, for myſelf, I boldly muſt declare
Againſt Ill-nature everlaſting War:
Whether in Buſy Bodies' whiſp'ring Tales
The carping, mean, illiberal Fiend prevails;
Whether in Friendſhip's fair Pretences dreſs'd,
She deeply wounds the unſuſpecting Breaſt,
[12] Locks up from Poverty a fruitleſs Store
Of Triumphs in a ruthleſs Creditor;
Whether, a venal Weathercock of Time,
She ſpits her Venom or in Proſe or Rhime,
From me the Serpent never ſhall eſcape,
Tho', PROTEUS-like, ſhe hourly change her Shape.
If to immortal FAME ſhe points the Way,
And ſhe alone may mine with Speed decay,
May it go with me to the peaceful Grave,
My Tomb declaring to each Fool and Knave,
That Views of Profit, Pomp, or Praiſe of Men,
Could never warp my Heart, nor gall my Pen.
Yet wherefore ſhould I fondly ſpeak of FAME,
Can Lays ſo humble hope a laſting Name?
To Paſtry-Cooks and Trunk-Makers a Prey,
My Works will feel precipitate Decay;
While mighty CHURCHILL'S ſtand erect on high,
FAME'S dreadful Gibbet to Futurity.
Is there no honeſt Path to lengthen Life?
Muſt a ſequeſter'd Muſe engage in Strife?
Muſt ſhe caſt off the Coyneſs of a Maid,
Or faſter than a Nine-days Wonder fade?
[13] Methinks I hear the Voice of FAME reply,
Hold, I've a darling Object in my Eye;
Let wing'd Imagination deck her Plumes,
And Virtue ſacrifice her beſt Perfumes,
Let Honour, Conqueſt, Freedom, all combine
To nerve each Thought, and animate each Line;
A noble Theme ſhall dignify thy Lays,
And the World gladly hang on GRANBY's Praiſe.
Thus, Wren-like, couch'd beneath the Eagle's Wing,
Tower thou may'ſt aloft, and ſafely ſing;
While far more tuneful Songſters in their Flight,
Wanting ſuch Aid, ſhall ſink in endleſs Night.
Proud of the Taſk, unequal to its Weight,
With glad Submiſſion I attend my Fate.
Dread War! enthron'd upon thy ſanguine Shrine,
No Touch of ſoft Humanity is thine:
On a rude Rock, amidſt a dreary Waſte,
Is thy unhoſpitable Temple plac'd;
Sprung from the impious Bones of murd'rous CAIN,
Gorg'd with the Carcaſſes of Millions ſlain,
Thy Temple, Deſolation's Magazine,
An awful! ſavage! and terrific Scene!
[14] Behold Ambition ſtretching blood-ſtain'd Hands,
Impatient at the rav'ning Portal ſtands;
In vain the Widow's Cries, the Orphan's Tears,
Or Nature's Groans, aſſault thy callous Ears.
Deaf as the Raging of a boundleſs Wind,
That only proſtrate Ruin leaves behind;
Parent of Horrors! which ſtill mark thy Way,
Hateful and ſick'ning to the Eye of Day:
