This Work is printed in B, and ontains 472 Pares, to which is prefixed, a Lift of the Subfcribers and a Preface to the Reader, and an alphabetical Index is ataxed.

As this Bock is of a mátaneous Kind, We thank the Author's own Account of it, in the firft Paragraph of her Preface, will be thought Lfficient, without any Extra from the Body of the Work.

**I do not pretend to teach the old, experienced Hocfe-keeper, or those whole Knowledge is fuperior to mine; but fnovid any Thing be found in the following Sheets of Service to them, it would give me great Pleasure. Some Rules for the young and inexperienced Servant, 1 flatter myself won't be looked on as impertinent; and, as young Pupils, when they first go into the World, are at a great Lofs, till Time and Experience teaches them their Bufiness. I hope, they will, in this Book, find such Rules and Directions, as will enable them, in a very little Time, to become compleat Servants, from the Scullion to the Chamber maid. I have not treated of Cookery, as I have already published a Book on that Subje&t, intitled The Art of Cookery made plain and easy; which, together with this, it is prefumed, will make a complete Servant in any Station.

Juftly incur his royal hate;

ET GOD, the great, the good, the wife, But the rebellious and ingrate
In all his ancient pow'r arise,
And spread his foes around:
Let thofe that hate his facred name
Be clad with infamy, with fhame,
And groan beneath their wound.

No fprings refresh their foil :
Opprefs'd beneath JEHOVAH's hand,
-They know a dry, a barren land,
For ever doom'd to toil.

VII.

O GOD! when firft thou lead'ft thy SEED
From long, and irksome bondage freed,
Thy arm prepar`d the way:
Behold! a glorious, ufeful light!
-Thy fiery pillar charm'd the night,
Thy cloud, the dawning day!
VIII.

Then shook the earth; the heav'n's around
Diffolv'd in tempeft o'er the ground,

Their mighty GoD confeís'd;
Sinai thy prefence low rever'd,
Thy prefence, trembling Sinai fear'd,
Her Gop, in terrors dress'd !
IX.
When murm'ring Ifr'el mourn'd their toil,
Thy mercy fmil'd around the foil,

And quails were plenteous giv'n:
Still more to magnify thy pow'r,
Behold! defcends in timely hour,

Thy manna, food from heav'n!
X.

Their flocks and herds abundant fhar'd
What THOU in pity hadft prepaid,

The people blefs'd the fight:

O GOD thy inexhaustless store,
Thy goodness meafur'd to the poor,
Shall ne'er be loft in night!

Tho' long ye groan'd with Egypt's yoke,
Your galling bonds at length are broke,
An happy change behold!
Like to the pinions of the dove,
Bedropt with filver, fhall ye move,

And edg'd with yellow gold.
XIII.

Beyond ambition's large demand,
Illuftrious fhone the Promis'd Land,

As fair as Salmon's fnow:
As God's own hill is Bafhan's hill,
A lofty mount is Baban's hill,

The bill he humbles low.
XIV.

Why leap ye, ye aspiring groves?

What prompts you, what ambition moves

To lord it o'er the plains?
Tho' high and mighty as ye are,
Sion fuperior claims his care;
'Tis there JEHOVAH reigns.
XV.

Nor boaft in chariots, or in arms,
Which rapid roll, and rouze alarms,
Vindictive see our GOD!
Thousands, and tens of thousands wait,
Angels on angels crown his state,

And wait the royal nod.

XVI,

Thou LORD haft took thy flight on high, Far, far above yon ample sky,

And crush'd fell Satan's pow'r:
Gifts thou receiv'dft, and gave to all,
E'en the rebellious hear thy call,

And tremblingly adore,
XVII,

Blefs'd be the LORD, whofe daily care
Loads us (ungrateful as we are)

With all our fouls can crave:
"Tis He, who gives to man his birth,
'Tis He who dooms him back to earth,
And calls him from the grave,
XVIII,

But be, the man, who dares defy
The notice of th' all-feeing eye,

And plunges deep in fin;
Shall feel juft judgments on his head,
His foul fhall quake with confcious dread,
And confcience gnaw within,
XIX,

Ifr'el, hear, and joyful fing The LORD has faid he'll conqu'ring bring From Bafhan thee again: His pow'r's the fame, as when his hand Safe led thee from the flavish land, Victorious thro' the main.

Such, fhall the crimson conqueft be, With bounding hearts fhall Ifr'el see Their feet diftil with gore: Your dogs fhall lick the reeking blood Where once your bold opposers stood, Oppofers then no more!

XXI. With transport have thy tribes furvey'd Thy mighty arm in love display'd, Nor could our foes annoy : O LORD our GOD, thy fpecial grace Has lur'd us in the facred place, Imparting folid joy.

XXII. To lead the train, the fingers fung, The play'rs next their mufic ftrung, And tuneful arts apply'd : Behind, the damfels lovely mov'd, On timbrels various notes they prov'd, Symphonious fide by fide.

XXVI.

Rebuke thou Egypt's idol race,
O, make them know a foul Difgrace,
Alike the rich and poor!
Subject their necks unto the yoke,
Their gods confound beneath thy stroke,
And let them be no more!
XXVII,

Princes and mighty men shall rife
From Egypt's land, and boldly prize

Thy everlafting truth;

E'en Ethiopia too shall bow,

From thence, fhall numbers zealous flow,
Old, middle-ag'd, and youth,
XXVIII,

Sing, fing to GOD, ye humble train;
With pure devotion load the strain,

With one confent rejoice;
JEHOVAH rides the heav'ns above,
His voice implies the voice of love,
And that amighty voice!

[blocks in formation]

Mufe, softest strains,

A rifing offspring crowns their mutual joy :
Fresh entertainments here they find,
To cultivate each tender mind,
And make their infant breafts the feat
For ev'ry virtue to retreat,

And feeds of 'vice e'er rifen to destroy.

-Since you the nuptial knot have ty'd, And got fo virtuous, chafte, and fair a bride ţ May love propitious thro' your actions shine, As fpeaks its lineage heav'nly and divine. Propitious love! thy facred flame, Burns ever fair and ever bright, With pure and with unfully'd light,

Tho' libertines profane thy name. The pure refult of reafon's laws;

The greatest bleffings man can prove, The fource from whence all pleasure flows, Is found in thee, O facred love!

A Wake, my Miley in fofteft main chains. But ftop, my Mufe, thy feeble flight,

Two kindred fouls have bound;

Where friendship is refin'd to love, Their paffions purè as angel's prove; While difcord makes a far remove,

Left it debale my theme: Nor uninfpir'd attempt to write Thofe facred joys, that claim

A genius far furpaffing mine

Nor is in all their peaceful dwellings found. Bright Venus! from thy rolling throne

Their fouls ferene as morning light,

No pains nor dangers fear:
Whilft all the joys on earth unite,
To blefs the new-join'd pair.

A likenefs (hines in ev'ry deed,
Whilft each the other to exceed

In love exert their powers;
In this divine and heav'nly ftrife,
They spend a long and happy life,
And blefs the paffing hours.

The gentle nymph and gen'rous fwain,

Each other's joys with pleasure share,
Each others blifs they make their own,
While virtue feats them on her throne,
She diffipates each gloomy care,
And peace and joy adorns the scene.

As o'er the verdant meads they rove,
Or thro' the filent peaceful grove,

Or fit embower'd at home:
Tis love infpires their tongues to speak,
Their mutual paffions each repeat,
While from their breafts fuch tranfports break,
As only are to virtuous lovers known.

Nature array'd in fprightly bloom,
And op'ning flowers of fweet perfume,

With fragrance fills the ambient air;
The warbling choir in gladfome lays,
Their chanting fongs harmonious raife:
While Sol difplays his orient beams,
And purling brooks, and filver ftreams

Combine to bless the heav'n-born pair,

Dispatch fome gentle Cupid down, And with his golden-shafted dart, Bid him to wound my yielding heart, And all my powers refine.

Then shall the bard awake and fing,

In more fublime and lofty strains, The boundless pleasures wedlock bring, And joyful wear the captive chains. Exoh.

"Ond'rous the power, if Milton truly

Which heaven around th' untainted Virgin
Aings:

If the thro' favage-haunted defarts fray,
No pard or lion dares to cross her way;
Or should they unawares her footsteps meet,
Submiffively they crouch beneath her feet:
No mutter'd spell, or necromantic charm,
No wayward witch, no hellish fiend can harm
I fcruple not my free affent to yield,
That shrine must be with all perfections fill'd,
In which a Gon, defcending down to earth,
His glories fhrowded, and deriv'd a birth,
Hail! fainted MAID! whofe plenitude of
