THE glittering colors of the da, are fled, t ,

Bat not forthis, pale orb ; th, light it dear,\
For this, benignant orb; 1 bail thee not,
That while 1 four the unavailing tear,
And mourn that bfo to me, in,:^b is bft.

And lead the mu, to footb a Juffiring beart.

Whit h every morn a lounging circle draws :
ta°P o P' strong waters, brandy and White

^ Tempt the unfeeling idlers from their borne,
Danefic caret and bufineh mas give way,
Till drams of "liquid fire" illume the da, ;
And yet theft lots will murmur and repine,
Aad charge their wretchedness to trades,decline :
Naked an^ breadlefs, bear that children mourn,
And not one figbtheir callous'd joule return.
Afew fart years, this tippling ceurje tbs, run,
While rags, dijtaje and infamy come on— i
Till Death, wbofepatience can no longer bear,
To lettheir rum burnt corpses taint the air !,
Pusf sthe blue glimm'ring fame of life away,
And reds the world of nfilejs lumps of clay.
