E the Protefant Inhabitants of the City of Dublin, whofe Names are hereunto fubfcribed, being filled with the higheft Indignation againft the Pride and Infolence « of France, audacioufly kindling a.

Judging it highly conducive to the common Safety of thefe Kingdoms, that the Protefants ot lreland, amouting vto upwards of Two Hundred Thoufard Men, fitto carry »Arms, be fully prepared to aid their Parent Country, in maintaining the Henourand Dignity of the Imperial Crown of thefe Realms againit all who infult it abroad or would betray it at home;and in perpetuating theProteftant Succefli- on in His Majefty’s illaitrious Houle ; upon which- alone, ander Heaven, depends the Prefervation of us and our * Pollerity, our Liberties, our Property, and our Religion : ' « Emulating the Glory.cf our Brnitith Anceftors, who, (with ¢ _Hearts undifmayed, and Hands irrefiftible, with Valour “{carce ever equalled, never to be exceiled) maintained the Empire of the Ocean; defended their free and bappy Coun- ¢ try; and; through a-Series of Ages, preferved their matchlefs Confijtution, againft the numberiefs Auempts of infidious , Miniéers to.undermine it; % ' We His Majelty‘s Proteftant Subjefls, Inhabitants of this Metropolis (our Hearts overflowing with the ftrongeft and ~ warmeft fentiments. of Loyaity, Grautude, and Affeftion for his facred Perfon and Family ;. our Confidence reiting ‘ on Almighty Power for fucceflsin the Caufe of publick Vir- tve and true Religion) do hereby folemnly promife and ... engage to each other, to our King, and to our Country, - that we will enter-inte, and att in, any military.

The rainy Aufter, with tempeftuous flight « Pours from his caverns, and provoke the fight. With fudden flathes all the welkin glows, And with full force the winged fquadrons clofe: Heark ! rufhing clouds commence the rolling war, And angry thunders grumble from afar ; The bolts impetuous through the aether fly, And floods of rain confound the liquid fky. Say, knowing goddefs, what {uperior pow'r Reftrins the thunder in this dreadful hour? *Tis thou, great God, whofe uncontefled fway All parts of wide immenfity obey. Fix'd by thy power, and made at thy command, Ten thoufand orbs in graceful order fland. Uhnnumder’d fpirits fall before thy throne, Thou great, eternal, infinite and one. O WINTER, OW gloomy winter fhews his hoary head, And nature’s face is with contufion fpread; Stern Boreas rambles forth with blult'ring {weep, T" explore the continent, and ftorm the deep : A while he ranges with difpotic fway, Till vanquifh’d by the genial lamp of day. The foreft now appears with ruefnl mien, The groves difplay a like ungratefal fcene : No chearful verdure beautifies the field, Nor can the vales their wonted odours yield: The open lawns, with each dilated plain, No femblance of their former bloom retain. Now humid vapours, fogs and mifts arife, Which chosk the air; and fhade th’ envelopt fkies;. Impetuous rains in fable ftreams defcend, And various metors in the aether blend: The rapid floods, which from the mountains pour, With voice like thunder-thro® the vallies roar :- Whilft echo does the noify din provoke, ; And joias the difcord from each vocal rock. The filver pondsnow fhine in glittering mail, And frozen clouds difcharge the pattering hail 5 A coverlead of fleecy,{now o’erfpreads The towering hills, and cloathes the naked meads: No warblers now chant forth their fprightly ftrains, Nor with f{oft notes divert the lift'ning {wains ; No pleafing objeét entertains the fight ; Nor rural walks nor {ylvan fhades invite : No more we trace the mazes of the grove, Tho’ ofice our ca'm retreat, and feat of love ; But now, with brifk wood-fire and nut brown alé; In {riendly focial mirth, ourfelves regale. ‘ On the Nativity of CH R'I'ST. HAT {ounds harmonious ftrike the ears ! See ! darknefs flies, the light appears. The fun a purer beam difplays, Aad thines with more diftinguifh’d rays. E’n nature 'felf with chearful grace, In triumph thews her radiant face. Odours diffufe, ye fpicy beds; Cedars, bow down your awful heads. Soft ftreams, your joys in murmars tell ; And boifterous waves, exulting fwell. Méfliah comes—— -in homage now; Let univerfal nature bow. Giory to Guod, wha reigns above, Fountain of univerfal love. - Goed
