FOR THE MIRROUR.
Meflrs, Editors, ,??? ':
The following Jmw^/St anzas were wrote
by the celebrated Mrs. Robinson, on her
passage from Dover to Calais, and addreg
ed to her unconftant Lover, the Prince of
Wales. The effufions of beauty in afflic
tion, must always be interesting to every
reader of feeling, and the delicate and mel
' ancholy (trains of this modern Sappho,
/will be a Luxury to the sentimental peru'f
ers of the Mirrour.

BOUNDING billows, cease year motion.
Rear me not so [wifely o'er ";
Cease your roarings, foamy ocean,
Ifall tempt,our rage no more. \
Ab! within m, bejom beatings
Varying passions wildly reign;
Love with proud relußance meeting,
Throbs b, turns of Joy and Pain.
,oj, that far from fees I wander,
Where their arts can reach no more!
PAIn, that women's hearts grow fonder,
, When their dream of bliss is o'er.
Far Igo where fate fall lead me,
Far across tie reliefs deep !
Where no flranger's ear Jhall heed me.
Where no eye for me fall weep.
Frond has been my fatal passion!
?„«/„, injur'd heart fa//&?
Ever, thought and inclination,
Stillfall prove me worthy thee !
Not one fighfall tell my flory,
Not one tear m, check fall Sain;
Silent-grief ffsall be my glory,
Grief that stoops not to comfain.
Yet ere far from all 1 treajui'd,
Frederic !• ere I bid adieu!
Ere m, days tfpain are meerfur'd,
Take tbefong that's fill th, due. '
Ihave lov'dthee, dearly lov'd thee'!
Thro' an age of worldly we;
How unworthy I have ,rov'd then,
Let m, mournful exile /hew !
Ten long years, offender furrow,
Hour by hour I counted e'er ;
Looting forward till to morrow.
Every day I lov'd the more!
Fewer and fplendour could not charm me,
I no jo, inwealth could fee:
Nor could threats or fare alarm me,
Save thefear of Using thee !
When the farm of fortune prefs'dthee,
I have wept tojet thee weep!
Whim the pangs of cars diftrefs'Abte,
- /bawl lull'd tbojecares to flu, !
Think when all the world forjoik thee,/
When with grief th,foul was pref,'d;
Hwystotbtf fend arms Itook thee, l
How I clasp'd tbee to m, brsoft.
Qften ha,,bte failing told me,
Wealth and power were trifling toys;
When thou fondly did, enfold me,
Rich in &// luxuriant j^f!
Fare thee well, ungrateful rover!
Welcome Gallia's hostile fare !-= ,
Now the breezes waft me over,
Novne part*-/* meet no more 1

FOR THE MIRROUR,
FRAGRANT z^Rofe is,but itfadcrintimt;
„' Violet's/wta, but quickly pa, its prime;
' White Lilies bang their beads, andfoon decay,
And whiter Snow, in minutes melts away ;
Such, and so fating, are all Earthly Joys;
Which Timo and Sickness fpcedil, defrays.)

THE EMPTY PURSE.
WHEN I have money in my purse,
My friends will take my part,
But when I've none, oh ! bitter curse,
They as lfrom me depart..
Tis thus the case with all mankind,
Interest is their view ;<
When money's to be had they'll cringe,
When not, they'll bid adieu!
The faithful friend is never known,
'Till fortune fickle maid is flown.
HILARITY.
A CENTrNEL at Maker Tower, was
fl lately interrupted in his watch by a
lady of the very firft breeding—" Who goes
there ?" said the Centinel ; "You cannot
j pass." "Not pass, exclaimed the enraged
Fair—" do you know who I am, fellow !
Do you know that I am the Colonel's own
lady !” " That's neither here nor there,"
replied the honest military watchman ; "if
.y<xiwas & Colonel's own Wife, you AiuU^
not walk here P?
DURING the siege of Valenciennes, a ;
gentleman afted a Colonel of a British regi
ment of militia—" How the besiegers man
aged to destroy the men in the Zigzags ?"
The reply from the intelligent warriour was,
" By having rrocW artillery to be fare."
THE sea coait of Cohabit, is bound with a
chain of mountainous rocks—' Arra now,';
fays a Shipwrecked Irish sailor, " such a plan
tation, as this, would make a man's fortune
in Jamaica ; for, on my fhoul, he would nev
er be in danger of having his cane-fields fwal
lowedup by an earthquake !"
A GENTLEMAN, remarked as much for
the economy of his diet, as theabrupt point
of his wit, flopped at a country inn and call
ed for his supper. The heft, who always
measured the appetites of his guests by his
own gluttony, spread his cloth upon a final!
.candle- stand, the forface of which he entirely
covered with a two quart bowl of milk.—
" Good now," fays the gentleman, after
flaring for some time, with a ' wonder-gap
ing eye' on the capacious utensil, " Mr. Gut
tie, do you think my stomach a Water-cis
tern r"—" For't I know, your worjbip.''—
" For't I know ? you Jon of an OSTRICH !—
Did'fit I order a supper-table, and a pint
of milk, and here you have brought me a WASH
INg-tub,andfa it on the head of a Cane!" l

MAXn^^TL/toIES.
HANDSOME Women, when intoxicated
with the fumes of adulation, often render
themselves ridiculous by a thousand indifcre
tiens, even into the eyes of their admirers.
Coquettes and prudes are both ridiculous;
the former, however, are preferable to the
latter, for the fame reason that a frank dispo
sition is more engaging than one that is re
served and unsociable.
MA-XTMS,
Addreffid to Young Ladies, on theirfirft EfabliJh,
,meat in the World,,
TREAT no kind of mifcondua
among your friends with indif
ference, much Ids with mirth, or ap
plause, in the hearing of your fer
vatiti ; as they will not fail to take
an advantage of it at some moment
or other.
Scorn to employ them at any juna
ure, in mean researches for the grati
fication of your curiosity ; it will en
title them to indulge their own, at
your expence ; teach them, by your
own fleady adherence to truth, and a'
becoming abhorance of the least de
viation from it, a stria obfervaoce
of its didates.
On the firft difeovery of a fault,
obftrua not a free confeffion of it, by
excessive severity.
Wherever your influence shall be
eftablilhed, let not a word, or look,
contribute to the distress or disgrace
of dependent perfonti save them if
your human interposition can effe&
a work of such justice.
There are moments of uneafioefi,
from which none on earth can always
be exempt ; but let it not fall in (al
lies of peevishness, on your servants.
Conceal from the indifferent fpeaa
tor, the secret springs which move,
regulate, and pertest the arrangements
of your household.
A good manager, and a notable
woman proves but too often, to be
a very uopleafant being in society ;
these duties Should be performed in
the circle of their own domestic sphere,
and are never to be boasted out of it.
Make no person wait who is de
pendent on you ; the lofi of time to
all, who have to live on the careful
employment of it, is the loft of their
bread. ;r/^/;,}^
Q^eftion with caution and polite
ness, if obliged to it, from a just de
fire of information ; an habitual qtief
tioner rarely waits for an answer.
When you difeover a studied in
tention to conceal events, and their
causes from you, be assured, it pro
ceeds from a suspicion Os your indis
cretion. 1
The hours you can steal from the
idle, must secure your superiority over
them ; and, fifing early, you will find
you have teen able to bestow a due
portion of time on religion, worldly
business, and,the cultivation of your
mind.
