A PINDARIC ODE„
BOW alter'd now the rural scene.
Where joy, and beauty finil'd abound ;
The trees array'd inciting green.
And flow'ry carpets dreft the ground -
Where the fweer songster of the grove,
In foft melodious Brains,
Smooth'd the ruffled brow-of tre,
Turn'd to gladness fell defp^ir,
Diffolv'd the marble heart to love,
And ItilF, affliction's paiqs.
Alas ! Bern Winter's savage train
Invades tlie mourning land :
Rude Boreas bluffers o'er the plain :—
Anyn, the rattling hail descends,
The lofty forefl 'neath the pressure pends,
Nor can its rage withstand.
The beauteous landscape, now no more
With pleasure we survey !
The barren fields in ruins lie,
And nought but snow falutys the eye,
Where -huge deflru&ion bears the fyvay ;
Where nild confufion rages round, and angr,
tempehs roar. , ,
Thus youth and beauty too, may,loft
For a Afore time, but soon they're past.
Like the last fleeting year ;-.
Ere we their transient fu eets can taste,
Alas ! they're gone ;
Old age comes on ;
We feelour with'ring bodies.wafle ;
And death approaching near,
Bending Qjlj downward to the tomb, f
Our hoary locks bespeak our doom,>
Wrinkles spoil our youthful ploom,
And all our joys are fled :
Captives t^lickoefs, grief and pain,
Till we to : earth return again,;
There loft forgotten, and unknown remain
In the cold chambers of the grave, umongft the
blent dead.

than this I have exposed m,felf and landlord to
the high penalties of the civil law by doing all this

If youth have then so (hort a date,
And life so soon be patt ;
What wifiiom, to fecurea date,
Where pleasures long may last ;
W!ere fumbling age and feeble years,
Sickuefs, and pains, and griefs and fears,
Can never, never come ;
Where we eternal ages bluff,
Shall from our toils and troubles rest.
And find a lifting home :
Enraptur'd there to Ihout and sing,
In the bright courts of our almighty King,
