philosophical liberty is not the attribute of ta&tfu l > t my frknd take his choice . But all this , it maybe said , is metaphysical reasoning ; and why should we puzzle ourselves with metaphysical subtilties ? O naughty metaphysics ! thus cruelly ta impale a worthy wellmeaning gentleman upon the horns of a goring dilemma , and to leave him writhing and smarting there , without hope of re- » lief I am sorry for mv friend ' s unfortunate situationand

THE CHOICE . While others vaunt each foppish grace With vanity to speed the race , Still beaming in my lover ' face , Be sweet Sincerity .
Let wise men prate of wit and lore , Or fame 5 that even gods adore ; I do not ask or sigh for more , Than sweet Sinceri ty * Some , smiling , boast their mortal part , Where beauty points each poison ' d dart ; I only wish the faithful heart , Of sweet Sincerity ,
Many there are who say that bliss Lies in the fond ambrosial kiss ; But sure I am , it lies in this ,, In sweet Sincerit y * While soft affection geins the eye , . And tend ' rest transport breathes the sigh ; Ah ! then , the bond of every joy , Is sweet Sincerit y *
JLet Hope expand his gen ' rous soul ; May Faith his passions dire control ; Afid Charity in currents roll , Of sweet Sincerity .
