Ax ODE BY PETRARCH.
Tig Laura fires ! he feels love's fervid ray,
White on his tongue,his whole foul melts away(
YE clear a^ Iparklitig ft reams,
Warm'd by the funny beams,
Thro' whole transparent cry ftal Laura play'd;
Ye houghs that deck the grove,
Where Spring her chaplets Wove,
While Laurafay beneath the quivering (hade ,
Sweet herbs^fid biufhing flowers.
That crown year vortal bowery
iffiver fatal, yet forever dear ;
And yr, that heard my light
When srft-&c charm'd my eyes,
Soft breathing gales, my dying accents hear.
If Heaven has fix'd ray d^h,
That Love mull quite consume
My bursting heart, and close my eyes in de£tb ,
grant this flight request.
That here my uro may rest,
When to its mantoo flies my vital breath.
This pleating hope will smooth
My anxious mind, and fobthc
The pang of that inevitable hour.
My spirit will not grieve
Her mortal veil to leave
in theft calm (hades, and thia enchanting bower.
Haply the guilty maid
Through yon accustomed glade,
To my fed tomb will take het lonely way |
Where firfl her beauty's light
O'erpower'd my dazzled tight,
When Love on this fair border made me Cray :
There furrowing shall die fee,
Beneath an aged tree,
Her true, but hapless Lover's lowly bief $
Too late her tender sighs
Shall melt the pitying ikies,
And her foft veil (hull hide the gulhing tear.
O'! well remember'd day,
, When on yon bank she lay,
Meek in her pride, and in her rigour mild;
The young and blooming flowers,
Falling in fragrant ffiowers,
Shone on her neck, and on her bosom foiii'di
Some on her mantie hung,
Some in her lacks were strung,
Like orient gems in rings of flaming gold ;
Some in a spicy cloud
'Descending call'd aloud,
" Here toe & youth the reins of empire hold."
1 view'd the heavenly ipaid,
And, wrapt in wonder, said
* The groves of Eden gave this angel birth ;"
Her look, her voice, her fertile,
That might all heaven beguile,
"t' d ^ f^a^yetbe realms of earth:
Thetar bespangled Ikies
Were open'd to my eyes ; [fcene ?'
Sighing I said, ' whence rose this glittering
Since that auspicious hour,
This bank, and odorous bower, [been.
My morning couch and evening haunt have
Well may'll thou bluffy song,
To leave the rural throng,
And fly thus atclefs to my Laura's car,
fat, were thy poet's fire
Ardent as his define, [hear.
Thou weft a fetog that heaven might (loop th
BON MOT OF A SPENDTHRIFT.
Spendthrift one evening espied,
A Thief, stealing in at his door.
He foiled at his folly and cried,
" That plan you had better give o'er.
Be allured you've mistaken your mark,
If you come here in qu c ft of your preyi
For it is ufejefs to search in the dark,
Where I can fee nothing by day."

remarkable character.
MR. OUT, tbe founder of the noble Hospital
&bears bis name in Statbarb,(Eng.) was
as remarkablefor bis private patrimony as bis public
munificence*— He invariably dined alone, and a foil-
M proof jbert, or an old newftafter, was bis confant
fufotutc for a tabkrelotb.—As be was QMS winter
eveningfaing in bis room, meditating over a handful
if half lighted embers confined witbin the narrow

person who came ft enquire for him teas introduced,

farthing candle, and defred to Anew the purpefe of
the gentleman', vft. Tbs viftor was the famous
Vulture Hopkins, immortalised 6, Pope in tbfe
line, —
"When Hopkins dies, a thousand lights attend
"The wretch that living, far'd a candle s end."
Ihave been told, fay, Hopkins, that ,on fir, are
better versed in the prudent and neeefor, art of far,
ing, than an, man living, and I therefore wait up
on ,0, for a lesson ts frugality ; an art in which 1
used to think I excelled ; but lam told by all that

is that all you come about I (said Guy) why, then,
we can talk this matter over in the dark Jo faying,

of the other's superior thrift, and took bis leave.

Mr. Burke, author of the Sublime and

finding it locked, said, “ This is Locke

An orator, at a meeting during the troubles
of the League, began a fpccch with premising
that he should divide the fubjedl he was about
to treat of into thirteen heads. The audience
" were heard to murmur, and to interrupt this
, formidable beginning. " But," continued the
orator, "to prevent my being too prolix, I (ball
omit a dozen of them."
