Dingle is loſt; Where's now the Parents Care,
The boaſted Force of Piety and. Prayer ?
No more ſhall She, within thy ſpacious Hall
Lead up the Dance, and Animate the Ball
Deſerted thus, no more ſhalt Thou Engage
Under thy Roof to Whartonize the Age.

Train'd by thy Care, by thy Example led,
Early She learnt to ſcorn the Nuptial Bed;
In vain by thy Advice enlarg'd her Mind,
And Vow'd, like Thee, to multiply Her kind:
For Dingle Thou didſt bleſs the neather Skies;
In hopes a mingl'd Race might once ariſe
To ſooth thy hoary Age, and cloſe thy dying Eyes.

Learn, ye Indulging Parents, learn from hence:
Think not Compliance e'er will influence.
The Fifth Command alone yon dla enjoin,
And Frankly gave her up the other Nine:
Yet She, tho' That, and That alone was preſs'd,
Regardleſs of your will " the Fifth tranſgreſs'd.

But oh! my Friend, conſider, tho' ſhe's gone,
She left no Coffers empty but her awn ;
Her Mind that did direct the great Machine,
Mov'd like the Univerſe, by Springs unſeen ;.
And tho' from thy Inſtructions ſhe retreats,
Her Globe of Light grows larger as ſhe ſets:
For nought could brighter make her Luſtre ſhine,
Than to withdraw, and ſingle it fromThine.
Then think of this; and Pardon when you ſee
Thoſe Virtues, you ſo late admir'd in Me.
