AUTHORS FOR EVERY MOOD.
I’ve authors for my varying moods ; If angry, I get Sterne ; And when the cat purloins my tea, I give my Locke a turn. Would I an extra relish have, A Grdbbe I open then ; If all behind, I find that Sunft Is usefullest of men. If sad, I hasten Gay to get ; And should my fare be poor, I seek the river with my Hook , Or search awhile my Moore. Should I feel old, by stretching out My hand I can get Young. AnJ if a friend I may require. There's ho ain my works among. With Goldsmith's works so ricn and rare I scarcely want can feel ; But should 1 ever come to that, Why, I must take to Steele !
