STANZAS TO HOPE.
Hail, heavenly Hope, whose cheering pow’r
Plays joyously around the heart,
And, watchful o’er the pensive hour,
Of sorrow's thorn allays the smart.
When on thy bosom we repose.
Enjoyment has ifa fullest scope,—
If pleasure be the full-blown rose,
The bud of it is surely Hope.
Frail vessels, tosfl’d by adverse wind,
With thy firm anelior saf. ly lie,
Thee only faithful do we find
When friends inconstant from us fly.
In spite of massive bolts, we see
In dungeon glooms thy form appear,
If Hell itself so frightful be,
It is because thou art not there.
Sweet nurse of pleasure, and of rest !
Love’s sharpest pengs thy balm can stay ;
And, nourish’d bv thy tost’ring breast,
A thousand Cupids round us plsy.
And, as, at length, (his troubles past)
Man gains the summit of his joy,
If on thy lap he rest at last,
He finds content, without alloy.

HUMAN LIFE.
ANGER.
As the whirlwind in its fury teireth up
trees, and deformeth the tace of nature ; or
ms an earthquake in its convulsion overturn
eth cities, so the rage of am angry man
throweth mischief around him: danger and
destruction wait on his hand.
But consider, and forget not, thine own
weakness ; so shalt thou pardon the fail
ings of others.

Indulge not thyself in the passion of An*
g*r; it is whetting a sword to wound thy
own breast, or murder thy frieud.
If thou bcarest slight provocations with
patience, it shall be imputed unto thee for
wisdom; and, if thou wipest them from
thy remembrance, thy heart shall feel rest,
thy mind shall not reproach thee.
See’st thou not, that the angry numloos
eth his understanding ? whilst thou are yet
in thv senses, let the madness cf another
be a lesson to thyself.
Do nothing in thy passion ; why wilt
thou put to set in the violence of a storm t
If it l>« difficult to rule thine anger, it is
wise to prevent it: avoid therefore all oc
casions of falling into wrath ; or guard thy
self against them, whenever they occur.
A fool 13 provoked with insolent ipeech
es ; but a wise man laugheth them to scorn.
Harbour not revenge in thy breist; it
will torment thy heart: and discolour its
best inclinations.
Be always more ready to forgive than to
return an injury : he that watcheih fur an
opportunity of revenge, lteth in wait against
himself, and draw«th down mischief on
his own head.
A mild answer to an angry man, .'ike
water cast upon the fire, abateth his heat;
and from an enemy he shall become thy
friend.
Consider how few things are worthy of
anger ; and thou wilt wonder that any but
fools should be wroth.
In folly or weakness it always beglnneth ;
but remember, and be well assured, it sel
dom concludeth without repenttnee.
On the heels of Folly treadeth Shame ;
at the back of Anger standeth Remorse.
