For fuccour, fwallow'd by the roaring surge,
As now another dafh'd against the rocks,
Drops lifelefs down ; O decmeft thou indeed
No kind endearment here by nature giv'u
To mutual terror and companion's tears ?
No fwcetly melting foftnefs which attracts,
O'er all that edge of pain, the social powers
To this their proper action and their end ?
Aik thy own heart. When at the midnight
hour
Slow thto' that fludioua gloom thy pausing eye
Led by the glimm'ring tapers moves around
The tacred volumes of the dead ; the songs
Os Grecian bards, and records wrote by fame
For Grecian heroes, where the present power
Os heav'u and earth surveys the immortal page,
Ev'n as a father bltffiug, while he reads,
The praises of his son. If then thy foul,
Spurning the yoke of these inglorious days,
Mix in their deeds and kindle with thbir flame;
Say ; when the profpe& blackens on thy view,
When rooted from the base, heroic states
Mourn in the daft and tremble at the frown
Os curft ambition ; when the pious band*
Os youths who fought for freedom and their
fires,
Lie fideby fide in gore § when ruffian pride
Usurps the throne of juftict, turns the pomp
Os public power, the majesty of rule,
The sword, the laurel, and the purple robe,
A tyrant's walk, and glitter in the eyes
Orfuch as bow the knee; when honor'd urns
Os patriots and of chiefs the awful bust.
And storied arch, to glut the coward rage
Os regal envy, strew the public way
With hallow'd ruins ; when the mufe's haunt,
The marble perch where wisdom woht to talk
With Socrates or Tully, hears no more,
Save the hoarse jargon of contentious monks,
Or female fhperftition's midnight pray'r ;
When ruthiefs rapine from the hand of time
Tears the destroying feythe, with surer blew.
To sweep the works of glory from their base ;
Till desolation o'er the grass grown street
Expands his raven wings, and up the wall,
Where senates once the price of monarchs
doom'd,
Hisses the gliding snake thrb' hoary weeds
That clasp the mould'rihg column ; thus de
fac'd,
Thus widely mournful when the profpe& thrills
Thy beating bosom when the patriot's tear
Starts from thine eye, and thy extended arm
In fancy hurls the -thunderbolt of Jove
To fire the impious wreath on Philip's brow,
Or dash Octavius from the trophied car !
Say, does thy secret foul repine to taste
The big distress ? Or would'ft thou then ex
change
Thofc he±t ennobling sorrows for the lot
Os him who fits amid the gaudy herd
Os mute barbarians bending to his nod,
And bears aloft his gold inverted front,
And fays within himfelf, “ I am king.
And wherefore should the clam'rous voice of
woe
Intrude upon my ear." The baleful dregs
Os these late ages, this inglorious draught
• Os fervitode and folly, have not yet,
Bleft be the eternal ruler of the world !
Defil'd to such a depth of sordid shame
The native honors of the human foul,
Nor so effac'd the image of its fire.

host, of the grfyt platonic year ? in
which, they fag after thirty thousand
years every thing shall revert to its

pleased with the novelty of the idea, one
of them said to the landlord, that, fee

years, to revert to its present condition,
they hoped he would trust them till then,
and they would pay him most faithful

WEAK and ignorant as thou art, 0 man!
humble as thou oughted to be O child
of the duff ! wouldeft thou raise thy thoughts
id infinite wisdom ? woulded thou fee omnipo

Fearfully and wonderfully art thou made :
praise therefore thy Creator with awe, and re
joice before him with reverence.
Wherefore of all creatures art thon only ere&,
but that thou fhouldd behold his works?
Wherefore art thou to behold, but that thou
mayed admire them? Wherefore to admire,but
chat thou mayest adore their and thy Creator ?
Wherefore is confeioufnefs reposed in thee
alone ? and whence is it derived to thee ?
It is not in flefh to think ; it is not in bones
to reason. The lion knoweth not that worms
shall eat him ; the ox perceiveth not that h§ is

Something is added to thee, unlike to what
thou feed ; something informs thy clay, higher
than all that is the object of thy senses. Behold,

MORALS— No. 406.
Thy body remaineth perfect after it is fled,
therefore it is no part of it ; it is immaterial,
therefore it is eternal ; It is free co a&, there
fore it is accountable for its actions.
fcnoweth the ass the ufc of food, because his
teeth mow down the herbage ? or dandeth the
crocodile ere&, although his backbone is as
strait as thine ?
God formed thee as he had formed these ; —
after them all west thot icreated : superiority
and command were given thee over all, and of
his own breath did he communicate to thee the
principle of knowledge.
Know thyfelf then the pride of his creation,
the link uniting divinity and matter ; behold a
part of God himfelf within thee; remember
thine own dignity, nor dare defeend to evil or
to meanness.
Who planted terror in the tail of the serpent ?
Who clothed the neck of the horse with thun
der ? Even HE who hath inftruded thee to
cruih the one under thy feet, and to tame the
other to thy purposes.
