Drops of blood pollute the plain ;
While a wretch with loo'ring brows
Round the lafli of bondage throws,
Horror, borne on shadowy wings,
Thus the song of angutjb flags.

The feene lies in Poland,
and the story related as fol
lows : —A considerable Fo
lifh family, by some broils
which had brought the coun
trv very near to the brink of
ruin, had been plunged from
rank and affluence into ob
scurity and wretchedness.—
An only son was left, whom
hecellity had compelled to en
ter into the service of a Po!-
iih nobleman, and change
his name. As the latter was
takin? an airing in the coun
try, his good fortune led him
to a cabaret, or small inn,
kept (as all the houses of
public entertainment are) by
a Jew. The good Israelite
having surveyed the youth
with attention, civilly craved
his name, which the other
informed. But, said the host,
though you go by that name,
it is not your real one, to ap
pearance with me,l can trace
in your face a man which I
am ever bound to revere. If
I mistake not, you are the
son of the late, but unfortu
nate, Prince Woroneifki,that
is it, said the youth, but be
ing unable to support the ti
tle with proper fplendour, I
thought it prudent to con
ceal m, birth. Heaven thank
thee for the favor, exclaimed
the Jew, now I have it in my
power to requite on the ion
part of my obligations to his
parents —Yes, fir, to your
noble family I owe my very
exiften.ee^ I have long sub
sided on their benevolence :
Providence has blessed my en
deavours, and I have in a few
years amassed a considerable
fortune, which it is my duty
to Ihare wih the representa
tive of my benefa&or. To
morrow your Excellency will
be placed in a proper sphere;
a state of servitude becomes
you not. I should be a slave
mfelf, had I not the means
of releasing you from bon
dage. The next morning a
coach, with a suitable num
ber of servants were provid
ed, and having received from
the grateful Israelite a purse
of loco ducats, the prince
let off for Warsaw, where
having made himfelf known,
he was in a few days honored
by the King in council with
the badge of knighthood.
The prince returned to the
friendly Jew, who could not
refrain shedding those fears
which are the effufion of fen
concerned,
