Succestion to the Austrian dominions,
thereby Secured to the male heir of
that family.
We must therefore conclude, that
the French court never had a more difheuk
game to play than at this present
conjuncture t It is very much their
interest to prevent the house of Brandenburg's
being much reduced t On
the other hand, it will he very difficult
for them to preserve their alliance
with the house as Austria, without
giving effectual affistance to the
queen of Hungary, for pushing her
conquests alrainst Prussia as far as she
may be pronipred by a spirit as revenge
1 and if by tbe trimming of
the court of France between the
the two, they Should themselves come
to an accommodation, it mey unite
Germany in a confederacy as the ry^st
dangerons consequence to France.
From all which we must see, that
Great-Britain never had more need
of able ministers at home, and able
negoriators at the Several couyrs
os Europe, than it has at this present
crisis ; for by them we may do
more service both to ourselves and
to Furope, than we can do by all
the money, and all the troops we
can send to the affistance of tbe king
of Prussia.
A Grama ticed Letter to a Lady.
Madam,
there he vet no proposition to-
.I wards a conjunction with von. be
pleased to admit of this intersection of
my pretences. I do nor pronounce
ad verbum, that l clestre to be adjective
to yon in all cases 1 for l positively
declare, that, comparatively Speak-
^g. Should be Superlatively happy,
should I engender with yon in ail
tuedes and lenSes, whatsoever l hope
you will not think me so singmlar, hut
that l desire m have tbe plural number
in 1ny family, and that l am too
valine to be neuter, with regard to
she teminme 1 therefore let on have
^r affections in common as two t
r bo it from you lo decline this conization,
though I amm.t the first
A R Y,
person, nor the fecond person, nor
the third person, who has solicited
you to be subjunctive to our love. ' l
prefume, you will not he the imperative,
while I am in the potential ; and
that yon will permit me to make a
conjunction copulative of my propria
quite maribuS with your as in prafenti :
This will make a participle as happiness,
if you will actually give me
your voice to be passive herein. Be
you but Supine, and l will be deponent,
though Syntaris may be afraid
os accidents t But it is the oprativo
os my soul to be a lawful concord with
the genitive. My whole income shall
be a dative to you for the prefent;
nothing shall he accusative against yott
sor the Suture ; and your Sweet name
ever my vocative, till death, the great
ablative of all things.
Your's, &c.

The CONSTANT
'^JO more shall daisies fmile upon
I ^ the meads,
Or winds steal softly o'er the bending
reeds ;
The linnet s o o n e r cease to tone her
throat,
And sing mellifluous thro' the winding
grett';
Tbe warbling lark forget to rnonnt on
high,
And myfrtlly Salute tbe morning sky ;
Sooner Shall Sof resign his cheating
beams,
Tbe finny race ceaSe playing in the crystal
streams ;
Sonnet shall
The sesther'd songsters cease to Sport
and play ;
Sooner Shall mountains into liquids turn,
And dolphins in the raging ocean burn ;
The stsrty worlds shall from their orbita
fall,
And chaos reign in this terrestrial ball;
The northern pole the needle shall Sor-
Sake,
And heavy bodies journies upward take 1
Sooner Shell age its wither'dbloomrenew .
E're I'm inconstant, while dear Stella's
