From the Eagle.
Mr. Dunham,
By inserting the following scrap you will
oblige a friend and constant reader.
Z.
ADVICE to the LADIES,
BY PETER PINDAR.
HAPPY knowledge in a pie or pudding,
Will more delight your friends, than all
your studying:
One cut from venison to the heart can
speak
Stronger than ten quotations from the
Greek;
One fat sir loin possesses more sublime,
Than all the airy castles built by rhyme;
One nipperkin of stingo, with a toast.
Beats all the streams, the muse's fount
can boast;
Yes! in one pint of PORTER, lo, my belly
can
Find blisses not in all the Floods of Helicon!
