In imitation of a piece in the present year's Almanac.
Frederick Fawner, famed for firmest friendship, finding female flattery fruitless, fled far from fair frequented flourishing flowery fields; fixed in far frowning forests, formed the following fine flourishing final farewell, for false fallacious Fanny Fastidious.
Fluttering friend farewell for ever,
Hope hath hung her harp on high
Every effort or endeavor,
Starts some serious sobbing sigh.
When with warmest wishes wooing,
Linger'd long loves languid look;
Silence still sublimely shewing
Firmest faith for forms forsook.
Pleasing prospects prove protecting;
Innocency is innate;
Deserts dear delights directing,
Far from former frowning fate.
Pleasure's pleasing path pursuing,
That through tearless time I tread;
Vagrant virtues, vainly viewing,
She still pseudo shinings shed.
False fallacious friend farewell;
Shall sorrowing sighs still silent sleep?
To truant time thy troubles tell,
Why with wearied wand'rings weep.
