 HISTOi.Y 
 
 OF 
 
 THOMAS BROWN. 
 
 ( )X a fine Sabbath morn, tn the sweet month of May. 
 
 When the hawthorn in blossom was seen ; 
 When perfumes filled the air, and all nature look'd gay, 
 
 And the fields wore a livery of green : — 
 
 Thomas said to his wife, The morning is fine. 
 
 Then let us walk out at our leisure ; 
 I have worked all the week, recreation we'll seek. 
 
 And the fields will afford us much pleasure. 
 
 Said his wife, " All our clothes are both dirty and iorn. 
 
 Which will set decent people a talking ; 
 I shall feel much ashamed, and we both shall be blamed 
 
 By those we may meet as we're walking." 
 
 The birds and the cattle, savs Thomas, vou know. 
 
 Oresr all alike, void of care ; 
 Let us follow their plan, be as blithe as we can, 
 
 And ;w/ make things worse than, they are. 
 
 " They can't well be worse, for at home" or abroad, 
 We've nothing for dinner to-day ; 
 
 g^W'i 
 
 
Our ir.oney's all gone, and credit we've none, 
 So r'cn let us do as you say." 
 
 They lock'd u]* their hou^e, ard their children they took, 
 
 Unhajjpy at home or abroad ; 
 .■\nd away they all went, (t'was a Sabbath niispent) 
 
 l-'or li.e chance of the fields or the roads. 
 
 Not long they had vvalked,\vhen a neighbour they met. 
 
 And they tried his attention to shun ; 
 lUit he saw them s© plain, to escape hinj was vain, 
 
 .\nd thus to discourse he begun : 
 
 ** \\ here have you been wandering about, Thomas Brown. 
 
 In your jacket so out of repair ?" 
 A rambling I've been, o'er the meadows so green 
 
 And I work in the jacket I wear. 
 
 " Hut do you not hear the church bell, Thomas Brown ? 
 
 Oh ! why not the Sabbath regard !" 
 We a living must seek and we work all the week : 
 
 If we can't enjoy Sunday 'tis hard ! 
 
 " I'll, I what coiild your work do for you. Thomas Brown, 
 W'v.'.v you not by your Maker befriended ?" — 
 
 Why ihat ! don't know, — if to church we should go. 
 IV-rhnis iiiiitiers would not be much mended. 
 
 '• Wliat I say I intend foi your good, Thomas Brown, 
 
 And your friend am desirous to be 1"— - 
 Why that I suppose, or your time you'd not lose, 
 
 'To discourse with a [)oor man like me. 
 
 " This worldns fast hastening away Thomas Brown, 
 
 .Arid short are the pleasures of man ;" — 
 'I'hon there's no time to spare, let us drive away care. 
 
 And merrily live while we can 
 
 mm,imm?^^m?'' 
 
i 
 
 " Hut what when this world you shall leave, I'houias hwwn 
 H your soul in dread torments should lie?" — 
 
 \\ by tiiai \o be sure, would he hard to endure. 
 Hut 1 (annot weli help it. not I. 
 
 " Yet the wretch under sentence ot death, Thomas Hrown, 
 
 Would he glad for a pardon to run !" — 
 Why, yes, so would I, if condemned to die ; 
 
 I^ut I know not what harm I have done. 
 
 " I'he Hible will tell you your sins, Thomas Brown, 
 
 And a Saviour will bring to your view " — 
 Jhe karn'd there may look, but I can't read the book : 
 It may, or it may not Iv true. 
 
 • Hie away to the church on the hill, Thomas Brown, 
 
 For if you can't read you can hear." — 
 Ihe man with the band I shall not understand ; 
 
 The rich and the wise m.ay go there. 
 
 •• The Ciospel is preach'd to the poor, Thomas Brown. 
 
 .\nd would lighten your cares, do not doubt it." 
 \ ou speak like a friend, but I do not intend 
 
 Vc trouble myself much about it. 
 
 • Could I tell you where treasure is hid, Thomas Br<»wn. 
 
 You would spare neither labour nor pains."- 
 1 n that you are right ; I would dig day and night, 
 
 And merrily live on my gains. 
 
 " But what, should you gain the whole world, Thomas Brown. 
 
 And lose your own soul, at the last ?" — 
 Why, my courage would cool ; I should then prove a fo(»l. 
 
 And sorely repent ot the past. 
 
 •• .>eck in time for the kingdom of God, Thomas Brown. 
 
 And your pleasures will never decay." — 
 1 feel half inclined to become of your mind. 
 And 1 ho[)e I shall do as you say.

 SECOND DIALOGUE. 
 SUNDAY MORNING. 
 
 '• Whither go you so clean and well clad, Thomas Brown ? 
 
 For your jacket's a new one I sec." — 
 8ii , I go with good will, to the church on the hill 
 
 To thank (iod for his goodness to me. 
 
 *' To hear this, it does my heart good, Thomas Brown, 
 
 And I hope you'll continue to go."' — 
 I'his, sir, I intend ; and as you are my friend, 
 You'll be pleased something further to know ; 
 
 When, after our converse, 1 first went to church, 
 
 I remember'd the days of my folly, 
 When I heard them at prayer, I thought God must l)0 ihirf 
 
 And the place appear'd solemn and holy. 
 
 The prayers bein/^ over, then sweetly they sung ; 
 
 I telt glad that I had gone in ; 
 The sermon came next, and this was the text, 
 " That death is the wages of sin." 
 
 The minister told us, that all wicked men 
 
 Who the paths of iniquity trod, 
 Would be turn'd into hell, in darkness to dwell. 
 
 And all people forgetting their God. 
 

 -, I ilw », 
 
 I lihten'd awhile, and felt struck with fear, 
 A cloud seciu'd to hang over my heatl. 
 A tear stood in my eye, and I could not tell why, 
 Buc my iieart was as heavy as lead. 
 
 On the morrow I spake of what I had heard, 
 While my shopaiates were laughing and lazy. 
 
 -'.nd I should have said more, hut they set up a roar, 
 And cried out, "Tom Brown is gone cra/y !"' 
 
 rhen ! laugh'd and I sung with the l^est (jf them all. 
 
 And tried to forget what had pass'd ; 
 But I thought in my mind, shall I good in this find, 
 
 It I lose my own soul at the last ? 
 
 So again the next Suuday I went to the church. 
 
 Though my shopmates all joined to upbraid ; 
 For 1 thought, why should I fear a man that will die. 
 
 More than Him by whom all things were made?

 When i heard what my Saviour had .-ufferM. I wept ; 
 
 ilow He groan'd and He died on the tree ; 
 But (.), the blest hour ! for the word ca'iie with power. 
 
 .And I knew that He suffer'd for me. 
 
 Thus (jod has dealt with uie, and thus has been pleased 
 l-.us great goodness and grace to impart ; 
 
 It was terror and dread, that first botved down mv head. 
 But 'twas mercy that melted my heart.

 A Hible to buy, for I need it ;

 And you, sir, have been a most kind friend to me ;

 Hut yet there is One, who this kindness will own 
 
 At the last and the gre.it judgment day.
