The child, whom many fathers share, Hath seldom known a father's care; 'Tis thus in friendships; who depend On many, rarely find a friend. A hare, who, in a civil way, Complied with ev'ry thing, like Gay, Was known by all the bestial train, Who haunt the wood, or graze the plain: Her care was, never to offend, And ev'ry creature was her friend. As forth she went at early dawn To taste the dew-besprinkled lawn, Behind she hears the hunter's cries, And from the deep-mouth'd thunder flies; She starts, she stops, she pants for breath, She hears the near advance of death, She doubles, to mis-lead the hound, And measures back her mazy round; 'Till, fainting in the public way, Half dead with fear she gasping lay. What transport in her bosom grew, When first the horse appear'd in view! "Let me," says she, "your back ascend, And owe my safety to a friend

19. HOASM: John Gay John Gay. (16851732). English poet and dramatist, who wrote the librettoto Handel’s Acis and Galatea. Best known as the creator http://www.hoasm.org/VIIA/Gay.html

John Gay Acis and Galatea. Best known as the creator of the ballad or parody opera. Works include The Beggar's Opera (1729), a parody of the newly fashionable Italian opera, which portrays London's criminal lowlife and includes a number of satirical swipes at Robert Walpole.; Polly (written as a sequel to but banned and not staged until 1779); Achilles (Covent Garden 1733). With Swift and Pope Gay formed the group of Tory satirists called the Scriblerians. Gay was born in Barnstaple, England and was educated at the town's grammar school. On leaving school he was apprenticed to a silk mercer in London, but being weary, according to Samuel Johnson, "of either the restraint or the servility of his occupation," he soon returned to Barnstaple, where he spent some time with his uncle, the Rev. John Hanmer, the Nonconformist minister of the town. He then returned to London. The dedication of his Rural Sports (1713 ) to Alexander Pope was the beginning of a lasting friendship. In 1714, Gay wrote The Shepherd's Week, a series of six pastorals drawn from English rustic life. Pope had urged him to undertake this task in order to ridicule the Arcadian pastorals of Ambrose Philips, who had been praised by The Guardian, to the neglect of Pope's claims as the first pastoral writer of the age and the true English Theocritus. Gay's pastorals completely achieved this goal, but his ludicrous pictures of the English country lads and their loves were found to be entertaining on their own account.
