And forced to town, cries they are happiest there:
With thousands more of this inconstant race,
Would tire e'en Fabius to relate each case.
Not to detain you longer, pray attend,
The issue of all this: Should Jove descend,
And grant to every man his rash demand,
To run his lengths with a neglectful hand;
First, grant the harass'd warrior a release,
Bid him to trade, and try the faithless seas,
To purchase treasure and declining ease:
Next, call the pleader from his learned strife,
To the calm blessings of a country life:
And with these separate demands dismiss
Each suppliant to enjoy the promised bliss:
Don't you believe they'd run? Not one will move,
Though proffer'd to be happy from above.'

'E'en times are in perpetual flux, and run,
Like rivers from their fountains, rolling on.
For time, no more than streams, is at a stay;
The flying hour is ever on her way:
And as the fountains still supply their store,
The wave behind impels the wave before;
Thus in successive course the minutes run,
And urge their predecessor minutes on.
Still moving, ever new; for former things
Are laid aside, like abdicated kings;
And every moment alters what is done,
And innovates some act, till then unknown.'

SOME ADVERTISEMENTS FROM THE ORIGINAL NUMBERS OF THE SPECTATOR.
In No. 1 Books only were advertised; and they were, Dr. James Drake's
'Anthropologia Nova; or, a New System of Anatomy;' Sir William Petty's
'Political Arithmetic;' a translation of Bernard Lamy's 'Perspective
made Easie;' 'The Compleat Geographer;' an Essay towards the Probable
Solution of this Question, 'Where those birds do probably make their
abode which are absent from our Climate at some certain Times and
Seasons of the Year. By a Person of Learning.' The second edition of
'The Origin and Institution of Civil Government Discussed,' by the Rev.
Benjamin Hoadly, M.A., Rector of St. Peter's poor (who did not become a
Bishop until 1715); a third edition of 'The Works of the Right Rev.
Ezekiel Hopkins, late Lord Bishop of Londonderry,' and 'newly published,
a Collection of Debates, Reports, Orders and Resolutions of the House of
Commons, touching the right of Electing Members to serve in Parliament.'
No. 2 was without Advertisements. Nos. 3 to 9 still advertised only
Books. No. 10 placed five miscellaneous advertisements before the books,
one of 'The Number of Silk Gowns that are weekly sold at Mrs. Rogers's,
in Exchange Alley,' one of a House to Let at Sutton, one of Spanish
Snuff, and two of Clarets and Spanish (Villa Nova, Barcelona and
Galicia) Wines. The book advertisements predominating still,--with at
first only one or at most two general advertisements, as of Plain
Spanish Snuff; Yew and Holly Plants for sale; the drinking glasses and
decanters at the Flint Glass-House in Whitefryers; a large House to let
with a Dove House, Stables, and all other conveniences; the sale of a
deceased Gentleman's Furniture, or a Lieutenant's Commission lost or
mislaid,--we come to the first of the quack advertisements in No. 25.
They are from separate houses, one of a 'Chrystal Cosmetick,' the other
'A most Incomparable Paste for the Hands, far exceeding anything ever
yet in Print: It makes them Delicately white, sleek and plump; fortifies
them against the Scorching heat of the Fire or Sun, and Sharpness of the
Wind. A Hand cannot be so spoilt but the use of it will recover them.'
In No. 27 the first advertisement is of a Consort of Vocal and
Instrumental Musick by the best Masters, which would be performed for
the benefit of Mrs. Moore, at the Desire of several Persons of Quality.
It was to be given 'at the Two Golden Balls, in Hart Street, the Upper
End of Bow Street, Covent Garden.'
The first advertisement in the following number is of a boarding school
for young gentlewomen, 'near the Windmill in Hampstead.' 'The famous
Water Theatre of the Ingenious Mr. Winstanly' was to be opened on the
ensuing Easter Monday, and
'There is a Parcel of extraordinary fine Bohee Tea to be sold at 26s.
per Pound, at the Sign of the Barber's Pole, next door to the
Brasier's Shop in Southampton Street in the Strand. N. B. The same is
to be sold from 10 to 12 in the Morning and from 2 to 4 in the

'R. Stroughton, Apothecary, at the Unicorn in Southwark, having about
Christmas last Published in the _Postman_, _Tatler_ and _Courant_, a
long Advertisement of his large Experience and great Success in curing
the Small-Pox, even of the worst Kind and Circumstances, having had a
Reputation for it almost 30 years, and can say than not 3 in 20
miscarry under his hands, doth now contract it; and only repeats, that
he thinks he has attain'd to as great a Certainty therein (and the
Measles which are near of Kin) as has been acquir'd in curing any one
disease (an Intermitting Feaver with the Bark only excepted) which he
conceives may at this time, when the Small-Pox so prevails, and is so
mortal, justify his Publications, being pressed by several so to do,
and hopes it may be for the Good of many: He has had many Patients
since his last Publication and but One of all dy'd. He hath also
Certificates from above 20 in a small time Cured, and of the worst
sort. What is here offered is Truth and Matter of Fact; and he will,
if desired, go with any one to the Persons themselves who have been
Cured, many of whom are People of Value and Figure: 'Tis by a correct
Management, more than a great deal of Physick, by which also the Face
and Eyes are much secured; tho' one Secret he has (obtained only by
Experience and which few or none know besides) that when they suddenly
strike in very rarely fails of raising them again in a few Hours, when
many other things, and proper too, have not answered. He does not
desire, nor aim at the supplanting of any Physician or Apothecary
concerned, but gives his assisting Advice if desired, and in such a
way not Dishonourable or Injurious to either.'

Falling-Sickness, and assuredly prevents those Distempers;
corroborates the Brain, comforts the Nerves, and revives the Spirits.
Its admirable Efficacy in all the above mention'd Diseases has been

'The Delightful Chymical Liquor, for the Breath, Teeth and Gums, which

offensive Breath will not return; It certainly makes the blackest and
most foul Teeth perfectly White, Clean and Beautiful to a Miracle;
Cures the Scurvy in the Gums, tho' never so inveterate, making the
Flesh grow again, when almost Eaten away, and infallibly fastens loose
Teeth to Admiration, even in Old People, who too often falsly think
their Age to be the Occasion: In short, for delightful Perfuming, and
quickly Curing an ill scented Breath, for presently making the
blackest Teeth most excellently White, certainly fastening them when
Loose, effectually preserving them from Rotting or Decaying, and
assuredly Curing the Scurvy in the Gums, it has not its Equal in the
Universe, as Abundance of the Nobility and Gentry throughout the

takes off a Fit in a Moment, dispels Sadness, clears the Head, takes

&c., to a Miracle, and most certainly prevents the Vapours returning

Hundreds have experienc'd: It also strengthens the Stomach and Bowels,
and causes Liveliness and settled Health. Is sold only at Mrs.
Osborn's Toy-shop, at the Rose and Crown under St. Dunstan's Church in

kind, proceeding from what cause soever, rendering those Persons
capable of speaking easily, free and with a clear Voice, who before
were not able to utter a Sentence without Hesitation; its stupendious
Effects, in so quickly and infallibly curing Stuttering, Stammering,
and all disorders of the Voice and difficulty in delivery of the
Speech are really Wonderful. Price 2s. 6d. a Pot, with Directions.
Sold only at Mr. Osborn's Toyshop at the Rose and Crown, under St.

Mr. Payn had also in his Toyshop 'an Infallible Electuary for Coughs and
Colds,' an 'Incomparably Pleasant Tincture to Restore the Sense of
Smelling,' and 'an Assured Cure for Leanness,' as well as
'The famous Bavarian Red Liquor:
Which gives such a delightful blushing Colour to the Cheeks of those
that are White or Pale, that it is not to be distinguished from a
natural fine Complexion, nor perceived to be artificial by the nearest
Friend. Is nothing of Paint, or in the least hurtful, but good in many
Cases to be taken inwardly. It renders the Face delightfully handsome
and beautiful; is not subject to be rubb'd off like Paint, therefore
cannot be discovered by the nearest friend. It is certainly the best
Beautifier in the World.'
[Footnote 1: So also after the Drury Lane advertisement of the play of
the night, is usually advertised: 'This Play is sold by Jacob Tonson,'
&c.]
