The god of fond defires repair; Implore him for a gentle gueft, Implore him with unwearied pray'r.

Should beauty's foul-enchanting fmile Love-kindling looks, & features gay, Should these thy wandering eye beguile,

And steal thy wareless heart away;

That heart fhall foon with forrow fwell,

And foon the erring eye deplore, If in the beauteous bofom dwell No gentle virtue's genial ftore. Far from his hive one fummer-day, A young, and yet unpractis'd bee, Borne on his tender wings away, Went forth the flow'ry world to fee.

The morn,the noon, in play he pafs'd, But when the fhades of ev'ning came No parent brought the due repalt, And faintness feiz'd his little frame. By nature urg'd, by instinct led,

The bofom of a flow'r he fought, Where ftreams mourn'd round a moffy bed,

And violets all the bank enwrought.

Of kindred race, but brighter dies, On that fair bank a Panfy grew, That borrow'd from indulgent skies, A velvet fhade, and purple hue.

The tints that ftream'd with gloffy gold,

The velvet fhade, the purple hue, The stranger wonder'd to behold, And to its beauteous bofom flew.

Not fonder hafte the lover speeds, At ev'ning's fall, his fair to meet, When o'er the hardly-bending meads He fprings on more than mortal feet.

Nor glows his eye with brighter glee, When stealing near her orient breast, Than felt the fond enamour'd bee, When firft the golden bloom he preft.

Ah! pity much his youth untried, His heart in beauty's magic spell! So never paffion thee betide,

But where the genial virtues dwell. In vain he feeks thofe virtues there; No foul-fuftaining charms abound: No honeyed fweetness to repair The languid waste of life is found. An aged bee, whofe labours led Thro' those fair springs, and meads of gold,

His feeble wing, his drooping head, Beheld, and pitied to behold.

Fly, fond adventurer, fly the art That courts thine eye with fair at tire:

LONDON, February 10. R. Herfchell has difcovered that Saturn has two rings, feparated by an interval of 996 leagues, through which he clearly perceived the sky. He has measured the outer diameter of the ring, and found it to be 80,710 leagues. He has alfo found, that the fifth fatellite of Saturn turns on its axis in 79 days, 7 hours, 47 minutes, which is the term of its revolution; fo that it always prefents the fame face to that planet. Mr. de la Lande obferves, that, if there be no miflake in the figures above mentioned, the diameter of the ring is greater by ten feconds than has hitherto been obferved: a very extraordinary difference.

BOSTON, March 19. HE new invented STEAM JACK, does honour to the genius of a citizen of Maflachusetts, Mr. John Bailey, of Hanover, in the county of Plymouth. He, by a happy thought, firft conceived the idea of applying fteam to propel a Jack, for roafting meat; and after a variety of experiments has completely carried that idea into effect. He has perfected the machine in a stile extremely well calculated for the convenience of families; as the manner of ufing it is fo fimple, any body can do it. The machine confits of a fet of wheels, inclofed within an iron cafe, of about two inches broad, and nine inches diameter, defended by an iron rim. This wheel acts on an axle, paffing into the centre of the cafe, and which gives motion to the wheels within. There is an iron globe attached to the machine, capable of containing about three quarts of water, with an aperture at the top, of half an inch diameter, into which the water is poured-and when the Jack is fet a going, it is loofely covered with a piece of lead that has a fpindle entering the aperturs. There is alfo a fhort tube, through which the fteam paffes from the globe to the boxed edge of the exterior wheel, and gives motion to the machine. One end of the fpit fixes into a hole in the iron cafe, and is taken off or put on in an inftant, and with cafe.The whole ftands upon three iron legs, in form like

those of a stand table; and at the top is a handle, by which it is eafily transported from place to place. It is fo portable that it may be carried to any chimney in a houfe by a boy ; and after being used may be put out of the way in a moment. It needs neither weights, lines, nor other appendages. It wants no regulating or winding up. It requires only to be placed in a corner of the fire place; two quarts of water to be put into the globe, and a few coals under it, with the fpit and meat annexed, and no further attention is requifite to reaft the largeft lump of beef, or any thing elfe, that is defired. The machine will take up little more room at the fire-place than a large chaffing-difh. It is by no means liable to be put out of order, and the whole work is fo well defended, that it is not in the leaft degree expofed to injury. With very little additional work he makes them capable of carrying two fpits, and the ftrength of motion is fufficient to roaft any thing required in the largest family.-For the fimplicity of the machine, it well deferves the attention of the curious, and for its utility, Mr. Bailey merits the thanks of the public. He has obtained a patent from Congress to fecure to himself the benefits arifing from his ingenious invention, and he is now entering largely into the ma nufacture of them.
