Part 2 (1/2)

I

Cast your nabs {58a} and cares away, This is Maunders' holiday; In the world look out and see, Where so blest a king as he! {58b}

II

At the crowning of our king, Thus we ever dance and sing; Where's the nation lives so free, And so merrily as we!

III

Be it peace, or be it war, Here at liberty we are: Hang all Harmenbecks, {58c} we cry, We the Cuffin Queres {58d} defy

IV

We enjoy our ease and rest, To the field we are not press'd; And when taxes are increased, We are not a penny sess'd

V

Nor will any go to law With a Maunder {58e} for a straw; All which happiness, he brags, Is only owing to his rags

Though Mr Careas now privileged by the dignity of his office fro necessary, by joint contributions of the coive himself up to the slow poison of the h its operations are imperceptible, is more hurtful and fatal than any of the quicker passions; for we often see great virtues break through the cloud of other vices, but indolence is a standing corrupted pool, which always remains in the same state, unfit for every purpose Our hero, therefore, notwithstanding the particular privilege of his office, was as active in his stratagems as ever, and ready to encounter any difficulties which see is an instance

Happening to be in the parish of Fleet, near Portland Race, in Dorsetshi+re, he happened to hear in the evening of a shi+p in i been driven on soht, he pulled off his clothes, which he flung into a deep pit, and then unseen by any one swam to the vessel, which now parted asunder; he found only one of the crew alive, as hanging by his hands on the side of the vessel, the rest being either washed overboard, or drowned in atte to swim to the shore

Never was there abetween life and death; Mr Carew iet hi the nao on board, whence she came, and whither bound

The poor wretch replied, she belonged to Bristol, captain Griffin, o of Haoods, and had sevenhio his hold, and commit himself to his care, and he would endeavour to sith hier is so imminent, and death stands before our eyes, it is no easy matter to be persuaded to quit the weakest stay; thus the poor wretch hesitated so long before he would quit his hold of the vessel, that a large sea broke upon the wreck, and overwheler, but, being an excellent swih not without hurt, the sea throwing hireat violence on the beach, whereby one of his arreat nuathered on the strand, who rejoiced to see Mr Carew co hi to the shi+p Naked, spent with fatigue, and wounded, he raised a feeling of pity in all the spectators; for, so strongly is this tender passion connected with our frame by the beneficent Author of Nature, to promote the assistance of each other, that, no sooner does the eye see a deplorable object, than the heart feels it, and as quickly forces the hand to relieve it; so that those whoreatest opposite to pity, has rendered unfeeling of another's woes, are said to have no hearts, or hearts of stone; as we naturally conclude no one can be void of that soft and Godlike passion-pity, but either one who by some cause or other happens to be s of self-love or avarice have quite changed the nature of it; which, by the most skilful anatomist, is allowed in its natural state to be fleshy, soft, and tender; but has been found, without exception, upon inspection into the bodies of severalbut a callous stony substance, from which the chemists, bybut a _caput st the spectators of Mr Careas the housekeeper of Madam Mohun, in the parish of Fleet, who had a heart reeable to the beneficent precepts of the gospel, pulled off her own cloak to give to hi him a handkerchief to bind up his wounds, bid him follow her, and led hiood fire, she gave hiar in it; then bringing him a shi+rt and other apparel, she went up stairs and acquainted Mada manner, with the whole affair

Here, could we hope our ould last to future ages, we enerous woman-Her mistress was so affected with her relation, that she immediately ordered a warm bed to be prepared for the poor wretch, and that he should be taken great care of, which was accordingly soon done, and Mr Carew lay very quiet for three or four hours; then waking, he seemed to be very roans , and he tossed from one side of the bed to the other, but see hiood suit of clothes, and he got up Being told the bodies of so up by the sea on the shore, he seereatly affected, and the tears dropped fro received froout, a guinea and a pass for Bristol, and considerable contributions froreat number of people who flocked to see him, to the amount of nine or ten pounds, he expressed an inclination of ood Justice Farwell lent him his own horse to ride as far as the town of Dorchester, and the parson of the parish sent his ladly excused froh Dorchester, as he had appeared there but four or five days before in the character of a broken miller, and had thereby raised a contribution of the mayor and corporation of that place; but as it lay in the direct road to Bristol, and he was attended by a guide, he could not possibly avoid it As soon as they cauide presented the pass in behalf of Mr Carew to the , and asseh he had been so lately with the now in a quite different dress, and a pass which they knew to be signed by Justice Farwell, and the guide testifying that he was an unfortunate shi+pwrecked seaer, they had no notion of his being the broken miller who had been with thereat huuide took his leave of hiood wishes for his safe arrival at Bristol; but Mr Carew, instead of pursuing his way thither, steered his course towards Devonshi+re, and raised contributions by the way, as a shi+pwrecked seaman, on Colonel Brown of Framton, Squire Trenchard, and Squire Falford of Tolla, Colonel Broadrip, Colonel Mitchell, and Squire Richards of Long Britty, and several other gentle in the city of Bristol, he put in execution a very bold and ingenious stratage to mind one Aaron Cook, a trader of considerable worth and note, at St John's in Newfoundland, whom he resembled both in person and speech, he resolved to be the son of Aaron Cook for some time; he therefore went upon the Tolsey, and other places of public resort for the merchants of Bristol, and there modestly acquainted them with his name, as well as his misfortunes; that he was born and lived all his life at St John's in Newfoundland; that he was bound for England, in the Nicholas, Captain Newed to quit her, and were taken up by an Irishman, Patrick Pore, and by hie, and landed at King's Road; that his business in England was to buy provisions and fishi+ng craft, and to see his relations, who lived in the parish of cockington, near Torbay, where, he said, his father was born

Captains Elton, Galloway, Masters, Thomas, Turner, and several other Newfoundland traders, many of whom personally knew his pretended father and mother, asked him many questions about the fa, &c, particularly if he remembered how the quarrel happened at his father's (when he was but a boy) which was of so unhappy a consequence to Governor Collins? Mr Carew very readily replied, that though he was then very young, he reovernor, the parson and his wife, Maday, Madaether, and feasting at his father's, a war thethe virtue of wo that there was not one honest woman in all Newfoundland What think you then of my wife? said the parson The same as I do of all other wohly Hereupon the woross aspersion on their honour, with one accord attacked the governor, who, being overpowered by their fury, could not defend his face fro torn off his back; and asherselfwith a knife, which rendered him a cripple his whole life after

This circumstantial account, which was in every point exactly as the affair happened, andthe family which the captains asked hiot every particular infor them when in Newfoundland,) fully convinced theood old friend Mr Aaron Cook; they therefore not only very generously relieved hiain in Newfoundland, the next fishi+ng season; but Mr Carew had too high a sense of honour to abuse their generosity so far; he therefore excused hi he would be furnished with as much as he should have occasion for, by merchant Pemm of Exeter They then took hi hi he was a man of reputable family in Newfoundland Here a very handsome collection was made for hi public, ave hi to their abilities, which is always due to unfortunate strangers Three days did the captains detain hi him all the curiosities and pleasures of the place to divert his ton, where his relations lived, and Bridgewater being on his road, he had a letter, from one of the Bristol captains, to Captain Drake in that place

As soon as he caewater, he went directly to the ate, it was opened to him by ood lady, pitying hiave hiive hi

We cannot pass by this a her the due tribute of praise; for tenderness and coht to be the peculiar ornament of every female breast; and it were to be wished that every parent would betiood lady, instil into their children a tender sense of hu for another's woes, they would by this means teach the of all other pleasures, that of relieving the distressed; and would extinguish that sordid selfish spirit, which is the blot of huood lady not content hat she had already done, ushered hientle; to who a entleman laid aside his spectacles, and asked him several questions, then dispatched his servant into the toho soon returned with tfoundland captains, one of whom happened to be Captain Drake, to whoiven him by one of the Bristol captains; and the other Captain Morris, whose business having called him to Bristol, he had there been already informed by the captains of the circu the same now to the mayor, Captain Morris confirmed this relation, told them how he had been treated at Bristol, andthen very rainy weather; Captain Drake likewise gave hientlemen perfectly well knew Mr Cook's father and mother; the mayor likewise made him a present, and entertained him very hospitably in his house

In the saentle considerable contributions
