:"be Story of Zeyn Alasman Prince of Balsora.
Continued.
^T last her joy somewhat fubdu'd,
The chamber she attentive view'd,
And chanc'd a little urn to spy,
That had efcap'd the prince's eye ;
But, on examination, he
At bottom found a golden key ;
" This key (obferv'd the prudent mother)
" Must tally with some lock or other,
" Which lock undoubtedly will lead,
" To where yet greater treasure's hid."
So faying she began to pore
Along the wall, to find adoor;
And one she found, which golden key
Unlock'd without difficulty.
They pass now to a chamber bright
With an unusual fort of Hpht,
Where they with admiration told
Nine pedestals of maffy gold ;
Of which stupendous ftruXures eight
Support a diamond statue's weight,
Emitting party-colour'd rays
That slash intolerable blaze !
The ninth tho' higher than the rest
Was with no precious figure grac'd;
A piece of purple fattin fpreadl
Conceal'd in part its flaming head,>
On which Zeyn this inferiptfon read: )
" These noble images, my son,
" Were by long lore and trouble won,
" But know the ninth does them surpass
" As much as they do common glass;
'' Ou the ninth fatue set your heart,
" And in purftit of it depart.
" However much the journey tire you,
" Again you mlift revisit Cairo,
" Where Morabec, a slave of mine,)
" Will faithful aid the great defign,>
" And^ ninth Jiatue fball be thine." )
Long in a ruminating mood
The prince and royal lady flood ;
But not his thought nor her divines
Th' enigma of the fattin lines.
At last, Zeyn thus, “ Say, madam, fay,
".Shall I such orders disobey ?
" Still will you your assent deny
“ With bigot infidelity ?”
“ No, said the queen, Alafman, no !
“ In quell of the dear object go ;
“ Go, Ihould you search from pole to pole
. " Should seas in opposition roll,
" Our prophet's felf shall be your guard,
" And the ninth statue your reward."

days after the publication hereof ; for,l am deter
mined, asl have attended on fettling the above
company's business almost three years, by myfelf,
and some one in my Lead, in my absence, thatl
will now finifh said business, and make a winter
jobb of it. If those indebted candidly confider
how long I have attended on fettling the above busi
ness, I think they cannot expert my attendance lon
ger than the present winter, especially if they confi
der my large connexions both in the New-Hamp
(hire and Sufq uehannah lands, nor wonder at my
putting the business that remains unsettled, into
Mr. Stoddard's hands, when I cannot possibly at
tend upon it myfelf. Levi Allen.
