POETICAL REPOSITORY.
A SOLILOQUY,
Ast erfhearing a difcowfe upon Love.
BY MISS LEWIS.
WELL , what this Love is, for my life I can't guess,
Which cables such wailings, such sighs and distress
I with I could fee him—but what doI mean ?
They fay, though he's felt he can never be seen ;
And may I ne'er feel him, if he gives such Imart,
So torturer, so teazes, and wounds the poor heart :
His captives complain that he freezes then burns,
And gives them strange pleasure and pains too by
turns;
'Tis surprising to hear of this wonderful nature,
To be sure, he must be a prodigious odd creature.
I've a strange inclination to know what it is*
Suppose I fliould, try—what ! and forfeit my peace ?
Too dear far such knowledge I'm sure I should pay,
If ease from my bosom ffiould fly quite away ; 0
But I'm told that one day whether I will or no,
He'll pierce thro' my breast with his arrows of woe
Why, what (ball I do? I'll e'en lock up my heart,
And Chen bid defiance to him and his dart :
And whene'er from my cottage I venture to roam,
For fear I should lose it, I'll leave it at home;
The key (hall be reason, fecufe it will fie.
Now Love, all thy arrows I boldly defy.
„ Frederick, King of Prussia.
At the battle of Prague, by which Gen.
Daun obliged the great king of Prussia
to raise the siege of that city, the king
in his retreat found the left wing thrown,
into some disorder, which obliged himi
to advance on the full gallop. On his;
way;his horse (tumbled and fell with him
near a wounded soldier, who perceiving
the king, said to him —" Sir, if you do
not place two or three pieces of cannon
on-fron eminence, and some troops in
ambufeade in the defile below, your wing
will be loft."
The soldier at the fame tim^ pointing
with his finger to the places he meant,
to the position of which the king had
not much attended. His majesty turn*
ed his eyes towards the spot ; and thought
ful some moments, took from his finger
a ring of small va,ue, and gave it to the
soldier, faying, “ If you furyive, come to
me, and bring with you this ring."
He, immediately left him ; and giving
orders agreeable to the advice of the lol
dier, checked the progrets of the enemy,
and preserved the wing of his army, whbh
would otherwise hove been exposed to
be cut in pieces. ~
About a month afterwT Is the soldier,
having been cured of his wound fuffi=
ciently to be able to walk, came to the
king, and presented him with the ring,
when Frederic immediatly gave him a
captainscommiffion.
The new officer, whose name was
Sehreuzer, behaved himfelf so well at
the battle of Roihach, that he was made
a major and lieutenant colonel. At the
affair of Rofbach the king heitating in
what manner to aft, sent one ofhis aid
de-camps to bring Selireuzer to him. He
asked his opinion, followed his advice,
and fucceded, This procured Schreuzei
a regiment, and the rank of major gen
eral.
