1790
sketew year's day, 1790
to mrs. dunlop.
this day, time winds th' exhausted ;
to ruwelvemonth's length again:
i see, the old bald-pated fellow,
with ardent eyes, plexion sallow,
adjust the unimpair'd mae,
to wheel the equal, dull routine.
the absent lover, minor heir,
in vain assail him with their prayer;
deaf as my friend, he sees them press,
nor makes the hour one moment less,
will you (the major's with the hounds,
the happy tenants share his rounds;
coi's fair rachel's care to-day,
and bloomih
