Let me, a votary, implore th, aid,
While I beneath the Jhad, in summer lie.
What food for thee to view the lightning dart
Adown tbe jky, chilling each timid heart ;
What food for thee to hear the thunders Jound,
While rugged rocks the rumbling roar rejound.
What food for thee in pointer to behold
Large lowering oak; the keeping whirl
winds rend ;
While driven faow accompanies the cold,
Or the wind whistles while the rains de
scend.
But let me flop—for thou daft never need
Such dire terrific views ; the cbearful mead
And verdant vales, encountering your fight
With fragrantflowers yourfancy most delight.
Thus Nature unto Contemplation's eye,
Affords a boundkfsfrefpea unconfin'd ;'

Attraa her fight, and gratify her wind.
Theft wonders view'd by contemplation, prove
That there is one Almighty God above ;
A God wbofe power isfpreadfrom pole to pole,
Directs the lightning's fajb, and bids the
thunder roll.

A GYPSEY BALLAD.
BY PETER PINDAR.
A Wandering Gypfey, Sirs, am I,
From Norwood, where we oft complain,
With man, a tear, and many afigh.
Os bluff'ring winds and rushing rain.
No rooms so fine, nor gay attire,
Amid our bumble feed appear,
Nor beds of down, nor blazing fire,
At night our Jbiv'ring limbs to cheer.
Alas ! No friends cothe near our cot,
The Red-breasts only find the way,
Who give their all-=afimple note —
At peep of morn, a?id parting day.
But fortunes here Ino me to tell ;
Thenyield me, gentle Sir, your band ; —
Amid those lines what thoujands dwell !
