OF

DR. WILLIAM KING.

IN TWO VOLUMES.

WITH THE LIFE OF THE AUTHOR.

I fing the various chances of the world,

Thro' which men are by Fate or Fortune hurl'd.
'Tis by no fcheme or method that I go,
But paint in verfe my notions as they flow;
With heat the wanton images purfue,
Fond of the old, yet ftill creating new;
Fancy myfelf in fome fecure retreat,
Refolve to be content, and fo be great.

VOL. I.
