KISSES.

By PAUL JODDEREL, Efq;

SOLLICITOR to the late PRINCE of WALES.

A

S erft to Damon's facred fhade,

Thefe eyes their grateful tribute paid,

Of many a tear beguil'd :

Sweet Anna faw my tender grief,

And in kind pity brought relief;
She kiss'd me, and I fmil'd.

2.

Ambition next my bofom warm'd,
Adieu each fofter care:

Alarm'd the fair Enchantress came:
One kifs infus'd a gentler fire,
I felt the noble heat expire,
And curs'd the phantom Fame.

3. Tranfix'd

3.

Transfix'd by Envy's poifon'd dart,
When late my inly-feft'ring heart,
Confum'd in filent pain;

Like wounded Edward's gen'rous Bride,
Sweet Ann her balmy lips apply'd,

And drew out all the

bane,

4.

Strange to relate, the Tygrefs rage,
Her gentle kiffes can affuage,

And in foft fetters bind;

Not mufic's powerful charms e'er gain'd,
Or calm philofophy attain'd

Such empire o'er the mind.

5.

Then to fecure my peace and bliss,
Sweet Ann in one eternal kifs,
Breathe in the all healing balm ;
No, cease thou fatal fond desire,
Ah, treach'rous kiffes you infpire

More paffions than you calm.

I have undertaken, at the Requeft of my Friends, to add Annotations, Remarks, Strictures, and Obfervations, explanatory, critical, and hiftorical, for the Benefit of Strangers, who might otherwife be ignorant of many Perfons, Things, and Circumftances, alluded to in the Compofition, after the Manner and Form of my Notes en Dr. Jonathan Swift, D. S. P. D. that have not a little contributed to improve, and likewife make his Works be understood. I should now likewife obferve, that it hath already gone thro' Eight Editions in the City of Dublin, this being the Ninth, and Two in London, where I am lefs known; but Р
