LORD WILLIAMS
XT
•J ▼ O eye beheld, when William plung'd
Young Edmundjin me stream;
No tuuimfan, but William's heard
r»,4 ijdn^u^d's iowning fcream.^
Snbniiffi^ all.the vnffdsOwn'd^
'£hc@ucd%r for their lord, * f
Add he, the rightful heir, noffefs'd #
Th, house o^ Erijugtord. <, <'
The ancient hnufe of Edingford
Stood foidft a fair domain ;
A id Severn's ample waters near,
Roll'd thro' the fertile plain.
And often the wayfaring man
Would love to linger there,
Forgetful of his onward road,
To gaze on feenes so fair.
But, never could lord William dare
To gaze oil Severn's stream ;
In every wind that swept its waves.
He heard young Edmund scream.
I.ovain, at midnight's silent hour,
Sleep clos'd the murd'rer's eyes;
In every dream the mutd'rer saw
Young Edmund's form arise.
In vain, by restless conscience driven,
L,rd William left his home,
Far froth the feeaes that saw his guilt
In pilgrimage to roam.
To other climes the pilgrim fled,
But couldnot fly despair ; ,
He fought his home again, but peace
Was still a flranger there.
Each hour was tedious long, yet fwift
The months appear'd to roll ;
And now the day return'd that, shook
With terror . William's foul.
A day that William never felt
Return without dismay,
For well had confidence kalendar'd
Young Edmund's dying day.
A fearful day was that ! the rains
Fell tall, with temper's roar,
And the fwolu tide of Severn fptead
Far on the level ffiore.
In vain lord William fought the feaft,
In vain he quaff'd the bowl,
And flrove with noisy mirth to drown
The anguish of his foul.
The tempefl, as its sudden fwdll
In gully bowlings came,
With cold ar,d death-like feelings, feem'd
To thrill his fhudd'ring frame.
Reluctant, now, as night came ®n,
His lonely couch he preft,
And wearied out, he funk to sleep —
To sleep—but not to rest.
Defile the couch his brother's form,
Lord Edmund feem'd tg stand,
Such and Co pale, as when in death
He grafp'd his brother's hand.
Such and so pale his face, as when
With faint and faultering tongue,
To William's care, a dying charge,
He left his orphan son.
" I bade thee, with a father's love,
“ My 6rphan, Edmund, guard ;
“ Well, William ! haft thou kept thy charge?
“ Now take thy due reward."
He flatted up, each limb convuls'd
With agonizing fear;
He only heard the storm of night—
Twas music to his ear.
When lo ! the voice cf loud alatm
His inmog foul appals :
What, ho ! lord William ! rife in baste,
The water saps thy walls.
He roft in hafle; beneath the walls
He saw the flood appear ;
It hemm'd him rbund, 'twas midnight now,
No human aid was nean
He heard the shout of joy, for now
A boat approach 'd the wall,
And eager to the welcome aid
They crowd for fafety all.
My boat is small, the boatman cried,
This dang'rous haste forbear;
Wait other aid, this little boat
But one from hence can bear.
Lord William leapt into the boat,
Hafle, haftc, to yonder shore,
And ample wealth shall well reward,
Ply fwift and strong the oar.
The boatman plied the oar, the boat'
Went light along the stream;
Sudden, lord William heard a cry,
Like Edmund's drowning scream.
The boatman paus'd—methought f heard
A child'sdißrefsful cry !
'Twas but the howling wind of night,
Lord William made reply.
Haftc, hqfie, ply fwift and strong the oar,
Hafle, haftc across the stream ;
Again Lord William heard a cry,
Like Edmund's drowning scream,
I beard a child, diftrefsful scream,
* The boutnan cried again;
Nay, huften on, the night is dark,
And we should search in vain.
Oh, God ! Lor,d Wil|iam,doft thou know
Howdfreadful'tii th die?
And eantl'thou, without pity, hear
A child's expiring cry !
Moflherrible it is th fink
Beneath the chilly stream,
To stretch the pow'rlefs arms in vain,
In vaig forfoelp to scream!:
The shriek again was heard, it came
More deep, mere piercing loud,
That distant o'er the flood, the moon
Shone though a broken cloud.
And near them, they beheld a child,
Upon a "crag he flood,
A little crag, and all around
Waifprgd the riling flood.
! The boatman plied the oar, the boat
Approach'd his resting-place,
The moon beam fhope upon the child,
(And fhew'd how pale his face.
Now reach thine hand, the boatman cried,
Lord William, reach; and save :
The child ftretch'd forth his little hands,
To grasp the hand he gave.
Then William ihrieks ! the hand he touch'd
Was cold, 2nd damp, and dead ;
He felt young Edmund in his arms
I A heavier weight than lead.
The boat funk down, the murd'rer funk
Beneath th' avenging stream;
tfHe rose, he fercam'd—no human ear
Heard William's drowning scream!

CARDINAL WOLSEY, th fa
-Icurite of Henry Vill. Was the most
abfilnte and uehltb, minisl er of fate this
kingdom ever had ; and he appeared in his
time to govern Europe as well as England.
He •was the greatest instance which man,
ages bad produced, of the variety and incon
ftmey of human things, both in bis rife and
fad. He held a great number of offices in
the government, and his annual income was
so extenfroe, that it exceeded the revenues of
the crown.
But font bis great height of power and
fplendour he was fodde.nl, precipitated, be-;
ing arrefcd for high treason, and deprived
of all bis employments : which fa d revers:
Jo affefled his mind, that it soon produced a
severe illuefs, which put a period to his
day. Afbort season before he left the world,
(he review of his life, and a sense of the
^Application of his time and talents, drew
from him this forrowful declaration :
" Had I been as diligent toferve m, God,
as I have been to please my king, be would
not have left me now in m, grey hairs.''—
An affecting admonition to t hose who have
the power and means of doing more than or
dinary good in the world' ,and do it not ;
which.fams to have been the melancholy case
and refection of this great, man.
COMMUNICATED.
Extras of a letter from a gentlemen in Boson, to
bis friend m this town, dated Dec. If, lßof,
“ Dearfriend,
I have lately heard, that in the state
of Kentuckey, and its neighbourhood,
nine or ten thousand fotils have been
hopefully converted, and added to the
Baptist Churches, within about I year.
Let us rejoice in our God,who reigns ;
for when he works, none shall binder
or let it. This information is undoubt
edly corred. It came from a gentle
man in Providence,whofe brother com
municated it to him. Though God's
cause may appear to be low in Borton
and Portsmouth,it flourishes elsewhere.
What shall comfort us,if this does not?
; God reigns !

OATHS.
Mankind must have been convinced that they
were naturally difbonfl, when they invented oaths
as the test of truth : they do not bind rogues
and good men have no fort of occasion for
them.
A few evenings since, in a political conversa
tion, a comparison was made between several
federal and republican public charaders. A
mong others was introduced that of the new
senator of Vermont. A friend of this gentle
man observed that he believed he was a true
friend of the people. A person present replied
that as to that matter be would deliver no opin
ion, but at the fame time he was ready to allow
that he knew of no man let his principle be
what it might who was more attached co the
inters of the people. [N.T.pap.,
