r TH)i Sttcct was a Ruin, and Night’s bor. id glare,
fllutuiil’d with terror, 'he face of Delpair ;
While ho U lei eft, bewai.ing,
Mute pity afl'ailing,
A Mother’s wld fhtieks pierc’d the mcrcilcfs ai*.
St fide her flood F.dwsrd imploring each wind,
To wake his lov’d filter who lingtr'd behind,
Awake, my poor Marji,
roll ! fly to me, Mary,
111 the arms of your Edward a pdlow you’ll find.
In vain he called, for now the voluin’d Imoke
Crackling between the paiting rafters broke ;
Thru’ the rent feairis the forked flames afpire,
All, all, is loft—-the roof’s on tire, the root’s on fire.
A flifh from the wir.d-wbro't Mary to view,
She fcrcani'd as round her the flames fiercely blew t
Where art I holt, Mother !
Oh I fly to me brother !
Oh ! Save your poor Mary, who lives but for you ;
I.eave not poor Mary,
Ah ! fave yout poor Mary I

On wings of horror fly«»*}»,
The youth ercits hia frantic gsae;
Then plunges in the maddening blaze ;
Aloft hedauiitlcL foam,
The /Timing room captures 5
The roof in cinderscruflics,
Thor’ tumbling walls he ruflies ;
She’s fafe lrotn fear’s alarms,
She faints in Edward's arms 1
Oh! KaTtiit. fttch thy triumphs are,
