POET's CORNER For the Calcutta Gazette. PROVIDENZA, Imitated. HER sons some mother views with tender joy. Whilst one her fond maternal hand caresses, She prints a kiss on one beloved boy, And one within her eager arms she presses: One climbs her feet—one fits upon her knee, Whilst from their actions, aspect, sighs, the mother Reads all their wishes, various tho' they be, And speaks to one—nods—smiles upon another. But still she loves, whether she smiles, or chides, And Providence for us like love expresses; O'er sees—now comforts these—for those provides. Still hear all griefs, still succours all distresses; When she denies, she but invites to pray, Or but with-holds things hurtful by abusing; She oft' denies—to call our hearts that stray, And give us, most, when she seems most refusing. Mr. HICKY. SIR, By giving the Accompanying Lines a place in your next Paper you will Oblige. Your Obed. Humble Serv. R. L. K. A Modern Love Letter. Madam. I Hope you'll think it's true, I deeply am in Love with you, When I assure you the other day, As I was musing on my way, At thought of you I tumbled down Directly in a Deadly Swoon And tho', 'tis true. I'm something better Yet I can hardly Spell my Letter: And as the Latter you may view, I hope you'll think the former true, You need not wonder at my flame For you are not a mortal dame I saw you dropping from the Skie's; And let dull Ideots swear your Eyes With love their Glowing Breast inspire I tell you they are flames of Fire That scorh my Forehead to a Cinder, And Burn my very heart to tinder, Your Breast so mighty cold I trow Is made of nothing else but Snow, Your hands no wonder they have Charms Are made of Iv'ry like your Arms Your Cheeks that look as if they bled Are nothing else but roses red, Your Lips are coral very bright, Your Teeth tho' numbers out of spite May say they're bones—yet w.ill appear, They're Rows of Pearls exceeding dear. Now Madam as the chat goes round I hear you have ten thousand pounds But that I as a trifle hold Give me your Person H—g the Gold Yet for your own sake 'tis secured I hope—your Houses are ensur'd I'd have you take a special care And of false Mortgages beware You've wealth enough 'tis true but yet You want a friend to Manage it Now such a Friend you soon might have, By fixing on your humble slave Not that I mind a stately House. Or value money of a louse But your five Hendred pounds a year, I would secure it for my Dear Then smile upon your Slave that Lies Half Murder'd by your radient Eyes Or else he this very moment dies.
