^HELICON BAG.f
^^^^^^^^^.^^
ON the CLOSE of the OLD ^BEGIN
NING of the NEW-TEAR.
MY heav'nly Muse, awake ! lift up thine eyes !
And deep in thought, let all thy pow'A arise !
Come, sing the close of Time, with solemn found,
When months, when years no more will move a
round, - f
'And all the Sons of Adam's race mull die,
And meet a vast, a long ETERNITY'
Important hour ! 0 great tremendous day!
When yonder vast expance will melt away;
The roling Sun in darkness hides his rays,
'Or flee before the Godhead's awful blaze;
While flaming fire is thro' the empyrean hurl'd,
And, Spreading round, consumes the spacious world.
And thou my foul, mull meet th' eternal God,
Enjoy his smiles, or fink beneath his rod,
Nor raise thy voice with joy, as thou didst here,
To sing the roll of Time, a new-born Year.
The seasons now no more will move around.
Or Man enjoy the fruit's of earthly ground,
Nor winter's blast, nor heat of summer's day,
Will e'er alternate his command obey.
But all are chang'd for an eternal feene,
And roll along without a change between.
Come then, my foul, ariie! and bless thy God,
Who (par'd thy life so long, withheld his rod,
And open'd his exhauftlefs fountains wide.
While their rich streams have roll'd on either fide.
Adore him for the blessings of the past,
And spend this Year as if it was thy last.
Draw in the breath he gives, and eye his ways,
Then breathe it back in gratitude and praise.
As steady as the hours and moments fly,
Be thou concern'd to live, and learn to die;
That the approach of next may fire thy song,
And furnish matter to employ thy tongue.
