THE To pursuance of our professed design, we shall now proceed to submit to our Readers more pa rallel- passages from DRYDEN'S, and from the re. ccntly published translation of the great Roman p o em. L I the execution of this task, we have avowed it to be our intention to select the most brilliant paragraphs from the Old Translation, and to confront them with their correspondents in the New. With any undue biass on our minds in favour of the latter, it would be easy for us to produce. slovenly and mean passages from al most every page of DRYDEN, and thus to en sure an easy triumph fur the subject of our preference. But the establishment of truth is all that we have in view : and the accom plishment of this object will be the most per fectly attained by the exhibition of the elder poet in his fullest .strength and splendor. We shall thus also consult the entertainment of our Readers ; and by laying_ before them the best poetry of bavnc:4, we shall convert their task of decision into an office of amusement. As the Fourth Book of the )ENEIS may be regarded as the most interesting in the original poem, it Seems most to have engaged the attention and Nave awakened the you era of the great English Poet in his translation of it. •From this, there fore, we shall continue our selections on this oc casion ; and we 511411 begin them with transcrib ing the celebrated description of the stillness of the night in its opposition to the mental tumult of the sleepless .and wretched Queen. The pas sage in the original begins with 1. 522, " Nox erat,7 &c. and concludes with 1. 552 " Non servata fides, cincri prowissa Sychwo." We shall only premise, that in the first extract the expression of " bodies closing their eyes," strikes us .as awkward : that "soft repose ' lowing " balmy:Sleep" is a weak amplification of the.bilme idea : that the circumstance , of " no murmuring tides.disturbmg the flood," is an ex aggeration beyond nature, for which VIRGIL is nor!answerable: that th 4 beautiful idea of Peace with her downy wings brooding on the ground, belongs not to the original, and is a sort of emu- MOD. place of the tran,lator's ; and that to stretch the porti- coloured fowl that haunt the woods, equally with the flock and the herds upon the quiet earth, seems to be a careless inaccuracy. But the, passage is on the whole flue, and what immediately succeeds to it is perhaps still finer : 'Twas dead of night, when' weary bodies close Their eyes in balmy sleep and soft repose. The winds no longer whisper through the woods: • Nor murmuring tides diiturKthe gentle floods. The stars in silent order ►uav'd around, And Peace with downy wings was hrotiding on the ground, The docks and herds, and parti-colour'd fowl, Which haunt the woods, or swim the weedy pool, Stracted on the quiet earth securely lay, Fu►getting the past labours of the day. All else of Nature's com►uon gift partake : Unhappy Dm° was alone awake. Nor sleep nor ease the furious Queen can find:. Sleep fled her eyes. as quiet tied her mind. Despair and rage and love divide her heart : Dcopair and rage had some, but love the greater part. "Then thus she mill within tier secret mind r What shall 1 do ? what succour shall 1 Gad'? Became a suppliant to iilAaBAS' pride? • And take my turn to court and ha denied.? Shall I with. this ungrateful Trojan go ? , Forsake an'empire, and attend aloe ? Himself I refuged ; and his train relieved • "Ds true :--but am I sure to be received ? • . Can gratitude in Trojan souls have place ? LAOMEDONI yet lives in all his race. Then, shall I seek alone the churlish crew? Or with my fleet their Hying sails pursue ? What forie hale I but those, whom scarce before I drew reluctant front their native shore ? Will they again embark at my desire?, Once more sustain the seas, and qttit their second Tyre ? Bather with steel thy guilty breast invade; And take the fortune thou thyself bast made. Your pity, Sister, first seduced toy mind: Or seconded too well what I designed. These dear bought pleasures had I never known; Had I continued free and still my own, • Avoiding love, I had not known despair; But shared with savage beasts the cOntmon air; Like them a lonely life 1 might have led; Nut mourn'd the living, nor disturh'd the dead.' " DRYDEN. On the last seven lines of this. citation it may be cursorily remarked, that they are the represen tatives of only four of iltaatt.:'s, of which they bear a very imperfect resemblance, and express very doubtfully the sense. But, in comparing the two translations, it is not our purpose to no tice the numerous deviations of Dit in 14 from his original. Our object is to place before the English Header the two productions, merely as they are English poems : and here is the version of the passage by our contemporary Bard :- 44 Twits night, and Slumber's soft and balmy band Threw healing influence o'er the weary land. The woods repose; the Inll l 4 waves murmur low; In their mid course the stars serenely glow. Hushed are the fields: the tenautcof the brake, The mead, the forest, and the limpid lake, Beasta and gay-einctur'd birds, in sleep's delight Forget their labours, and enjoy the night.. Nut so the unhappy Queen: with transient rest. Night cannot seal her eyes or calm her breast. Contending cares distract her; Lore returns To war with anger, and the conflict burns. " What shall I do? Alt! whit is now the p3it My fortunes prompt?", She questions thusber heads " Shall J my former suitors try to pore? Beg, where I would not give, the boon of lore? Court Lybiair nuptials with submitting pride; And., scuttling oft, now sue—aud bg denied? Or sirs‘i I go arid seek the 'Projan hands;' A suppliant, crouchiug fur their 410 commands? l'es!--rtruly, those I succoui'd will be kind! Already have they shown their grateful mind! But, grant my 'soul could stoop thus meanly low, Would their proud ships receive me as I bow And art th , Pa yet to learn, ah, wretch undone ! How base is each Laoniedontian son? Then—shall I singly !.:zo, prepared to meet The taunts and pity of the sfrouting fleet? Or shall I bring my Tyre to swell their train; A second host of exiles on the inaln : And, whom front Sidon's shores I hardly dreW, Throw to the perils of the sea anew No! die, fond wretch! to die is thy desert: The sword must still the throbbings of thy heart, Front thee, ray Sistet —thee derived my woe: Moved by my tears thou gayest me tq the foe. Ali! wherefore was I not allow'd to prove The life of Nature, free from nuptial hive, And far from cues like these ? I suffer now For wroog'd Sychasus and my broken vow." SYMMONS. LALLA ROOKII. The vast, and, indeed, unprecedented, price which has been given for this Poem, not less, we are as sured, than THREE THOUSAND POUNDS, the ad venturous liberality of the Booksellers by whom it was purchased, Messrs. LONGMAN and Co,, the high reputation of the Author, ANACREON MOORRI and the impatience of the Public to peruse a work from so popular a Poet, render it proper that we should take some notice of an event so extraor dinary in the Annals of BIBLIOGRAPHY. LALLA ROOKH, the title of the Poem, means TULIP CHEEKS, and is the name of the Heroine. The fable consists of the journey of this Princess front the Court of her father, an Asiatic Prince, to that of another Prince, the father of her destined husband. She is accompanied on her expedition, which is of the most splendid and gorgeous nature, and which calls forth all the descriptive magnifi cence of the Author,by the GRAND CHAMBRRLAIN, and a young MitzsTagt. who attends the Train, and who amuses the Princess, at the several places Where she rests on her journey,• with . poetical re citals of terrific and pathetic narrations. In the course of these recitals the GRAND CHAMBERLAIN favours the company with his criticisms ; and here,. we conceive, that the Author has ingeniously in tendkl to obviate those common-place Remarks which he may expect to encounter from envy and malevolence. This character is placed in a very ludicrous light. The PRINCESS is described as lovely and amiable in the highest - degree, The MINSTREL is one of the chief, if not the chief personage in the Poem, We will not check the interest, or forestall the pleasure of the Readers, by detailing the story or stating the catastrophe, . . but We can assure them, that they will feel them selves powerfully agitated by the work in general, and we have no doubt that its success will shun• dandy recompence the Proprietors for their enter prizing patronage. ARGYLE Roosts.—Mr. and Mrs. LACY bad their Annual Concert on Saturday last at these-Rooms, The place was ..crowded with a very elegant au dience.

EvauLT BARON VON AACEIRN.— Saturday night an Inquisition was taken at the Goat, in Pall-mall, upon the body of Evault Baron Von Aucken, lately a Captain in the German Le gion, who shot himself - at Carlton Ironic gate, on Friday afternoon. We stated in Saturday's Paper the particulars of the suicide, which were given in evidence. Mrs. Martha Duneombe, of No. 47, Bridge-street, Westminster, said the deceased came to her louse about a month ago, three days after he came to England, and ever since boarded and lodged there ; at first he had a good •leal_of mo ney, which he spent in a foolish manner. He ap peared dejected and melancholy, the cause he often mentioned; but nut having► any knowledge 'of the German language she could not understand him, she believed, however, he was disappointed in his expectations.
