POET'S CORNER.

The JOURNEY OF LIFE.
An Allegoric Elegy.
WHILE thro' life's thorny road I go,
I will not, want cor,:,,panions too;
A dreary journey, and alone,
Would be, alas! too troublesome.
But company that's choice and good.
Makes trouble hardly underilooL:
For toil divided seems to be
No toil, but a felicity.
Therefore will I companions trike,
As well for case, as, fafety's lake:
Fair truth flrall serve mefor a guide ;
Justice shall never leave nay fide.;
'lntegrity, my trusty guard,
Nor will I caution quite difeard:
Experience shall my tutor be,
Nor will I wiser seem than he:
Diferetion all ray thoughts shall weigh,
And modesty my words convey:
Soft innocence protea any Deep,
And charity my purse shall keep.
Thus, through this wilderness I'll flray,
Nor ever fear to lose my way.
The sages I sometimes will fee,
Be sometimes with the muses free ;
With guiltless mirth an hour beguile,
Or with free spoken satire smile ;
With meditation often walk,
Or with sweet melancholy talk:
With these companions dear'l'll sport,
Nor heed the journey, long or short,
So health supply the doctor's place,;
And for a chaplain, I've God's grace.
