Thus fang the wond'rous Indian bard.
My foul with vast attention heard,
While ganges cease to flow;
Sure then he cry'd might I but fee
That gentle nymph that twin'd with me,
I might be happy too.
Some courteous Angel tell me where,
What distant lands this unknown fair,
Or distant seas detain ;
Swift as the wheels of nature rolls,
I fly to meet and mingle fouls,
And wear the joyful chain.
WHY fliouH oar joys transforms
Why gentle hymen's silken chain,
A plague of iron prove;
Bandifh 'tis strange the charms that binds
Millionsof hands fhoald leave their minds
At such a loose from love.

In vain I fought the wond'rous cause,
Rang'd the wide fields of nature's laws.
And urg'd the schools in vain ;
1 hen deep it thought within my breast.
My foul retir'd and (lumber'd draft,
A bright inftrudive fctne.

INDIAN PHILOSOPHER.
I. [pain,
O'er the broad lands and 'croft the tide,
On fancy's airy horse 1 ride,
Sweet rapture of the mind;
'Till on the banks of gauges' flood,
In a tall ancient grove I flood,
For sacred use design'd.
IV.
Hard by a venerable prieft^
Ris'n with his God the fun from rest,
Awoke his morning song;
Thrice he conjur'd the marm'ring ftrezol
The birth of fouls was all his theme.
And hail divine his song.
V.
He fang the eternal rolling flame.
That vital mass that dill the fame,
Does all our minds compose ;
But fhap'd in twice ten thousand flames,
Thence diff'ring fouls of did'rent names,
Aad jarring tempest rose.
VI.
The mighty power that form'd the mind,
One moul'd for ev'ry two defin'd.
And bieft the new born pair;
This be a match for this he said,
Then down he sent the fouls he made,
To seek them bodies here.
VIL
But parting from their warm abode,
They loft their fellows on the rode.
And never join'd their hands;
Ah ! cruel charms and crotiiog pates,
Our eastern fouls have loft their mates,
On Europe's barb'rous lands.
VIII.
Happy the youth that finds the bride,
Whole birth is to his own ally'd,
The sweetest joy of life ;
But Oh ! the crowds of wretched fouls.
Fetter'd to minds of diff'rent moulds,
And chain'd to eternal ftrife.

SHEARING OF SHEEP.
THE following method has been
found effectual. Immediately af
ter the sheep are fhorn, soak toe roots
of the wool that remains all over with
oil, or butter, and brimstone, and three
or four days afterwards wafli them with
fait and water, and the wool of the next
season will be not only much finer and
fofter, but the quantity will be
enlarged, and it may be de P ended °":
that the sheep will neither be troubled
with the scab or ver^^nthat year.
