A PERSIAN SONG.
OF HAFIZ. Translated by Sir William Jones.
SWEET maid if thou would'st charm my light, And bid these arms thy neck enfold; That rosy cheek, that lilly hand, Would give the poet more delight Than all Bocara's vaunted go.
Boy, let your liquid ruby flow, And bid thy passive heart be glad, Whate'er the frowning zealots say: Tell them, their Eden cannot show A stream so clear as Roenabad, A Bower so sweet as Mosellay.
O! when these fair perfidious maids, Whose eyes our secret haunts infest, Their dear destructive charms display: Each glance my tender breast invades, And robs my wounded soul of rest, As Tartars seize their destined prey.
In vain with love our bosoms glow: Can all our tears, can all our sighs, New lustre to those charms impart? Can cheeks where living roses blow, Where nature spread her richest dyes, Require the borrow'd gloss of art?
Speak not of fate:—ah! change the theme, And talk of odours, talk of wine, Talk of the flowers that round us bloom: 'Tis all a cloud, 'tis all a dream: To love and joy thy thoughts confine, Nor hope to pierce the sacred gloom.
Beauty has such resistless power, That even the chaste Egyptian dame Sigh'd for the blooming Hebrew boy; For her how fatal was the hour, When to the banks of Nilus came A youth so lovely and so coy.
But, ah! sweet maid my counsel hear: (Youth should attend when those advise Whom long experience renders sage:) While music charms the ravish'd ear; While sparkling cups delight our eyes; Be gay; and scorn the frowns of age.
What cruel answer have I heard? And yet, by heaven, I love thee still; Can aught be cruel from thy lip? Yet lay how fell that bitter word From lips which streams of sweetness fill, Which nought but drops of honey sip?
Go boldly forth my simple lay. Whose accents flow wth artless ease, Like orient pearls at random strung: Thy notes are sweet, the damsel's say; But, O! far sweeter, if they please The nymph for whom these notes are sung.
NUMBER II.
To the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES.
SIR, THE next sentence in your address is in these words: "All too will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is, in all cases, to prevail, that will, to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority also possess their equal rights, which equal laws must protect, and to violate which, would be oppression." The abstract truth of these propositions no man will deny; but it is obvious that the passage contains a censure on the former administration, whose conduct is clearly pronounced not to have been reasonable. This idea is more fully implied in the invitation, contained in the next sentence, calling on your fellow citizens "to restore to social intercourse, that harmony and affection, without which, liberty, and even life itself, are but dreary things." To restore, implies a previous loss or deprivation; and in this passage, the implication is unequivocal that the former administration had by its measures, destroyed harmony and affection, which you now invite your fellow citizens to restore.
The next sentence proceeds upon the same idea. "Let us reflect, that having banished from our land that religious intolerance, under which mankind so long bled and suffered, we have yet gained little, if we countenance a political intolerance as despotic as wicked, and capable of as bitter and bloody persecutions." What, Sir, is your meaning, when you state that we have banished from our land religious intolerance? When did any religious intolerance exist in our land? And when was it banished? When or in what part of our country have men bled and suffered for religious opinions? If a solitary instance or two of persecution for the sake of religious opinion occurred among the fanatics who first settled the country surely nothing happened to warrant the imputation contained in this passage.
But the principal objection to the passage, is, that it clearly and pointedly insinuates that your predecessor in office was guilty of a political intolerance as despotic as it was wicked. This insinuation was perfectly understood, by discerning men, at the time the address was first published; but in your answer to the New Haven remonstrance, you have expressly avowed this to be your opinion. You have explained your meaning by declaring, that "during the late administration, those who were not of a particular sect of politics were excluded from office." I shall examine both the affection & the principle, more at large in a future paper. At present I shall only observe, that it marks a singular want of respect to your predecessor, and a most anti-republican contempt of decorum, to introduce,
into your inaugural address, a pointed invective against his administration. Even had his conduct merited the censure, the common rules of decency and civility should have taught you to suppress the remotest insinuation of that sort. Indeed, to what cause, but a blind confidence, in your talent for disguising your meaning, or to an indiscretion that proceeds from imbecility of mind, can we ascribe the inconsistency of declaring in the same page, that we are all republicans and federalists; divided only by unessential differences; brethren of the same principle, called by different names; yet that your opponents had been guilty of intolerance as despotic as it was wicked.
The next passage in the address, alluding to the revolution in France, a subject that awakens all the sensibility of the republican, exhibits the President of the United States on the wings of eloquence and metaphor. During the throes and convulsions of the ancient world; during the agonizing spasms of insatiable man, seeking through blood and slaughter his long lost liberty, it was not wonderful that the agitation of the billows should reach even this distant and peaceful shore—that this should be more felt and feared by some and less by others—and should divide opinions as to measures of safety." Merciful genius of letters and philosophy! Is this the language of the learned Jefferson? Surely the mountain in labor ought adust to produce a mouse. In the 1st line we are presented with the ancient world pregnant with liberty, and in the throes and pangs of labor—in the second, we see man insatiable and agonizing with the spasms of delirium and madness—in the third, this agonizing man is wading in blood, in search of his lost liberty [which was just before a child giving pangs to a world]—in the fourth, this agony of a pregnant world, and infuriated man, have raised "billows" that have reached America! but at last, all this agony and fury, and agitation of billows, issue in the simple effect of "being more felt and feared by some and less by others."
"Aliquando dormitat Homerus."
"Even Homer sometimes sleeps."
Whatever doubts men may have entertained of the soundness of your political creed, it is presumed no man in future will deny you the palm of supremacy in the art of jinking and confounding metaphors.
After this delirious excursion into the regions of metaphor and description, the address proceeds. "But every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle. We have called by different names brethren of the same principle. We are all republicans—we are all federalists." Pray, Sir, contrast these declarations with your assertions in the answer to the New Haven merchants. You there tell us, "When it is considered that during the late administration, those who were not of a particular sect of politics were excluded from all office; when by a steady pursuit of this measure, nearly the whole of the United States were monopolized by that sect; when the public sentiment at length declared itself and burst open the doors of honor and confidence to those who held opinion they more approved, was it to be imagined that this monopoly of office was still to be continued in the hands of the minority."
I would not dwell on your inaccuracies and perversions of language, had not your friends uniformly represented you as a model of correct science, and a master of style.—More discerning Scholars know that your writings are remarkable for incorrect language. In the preceding paragraph, the words whole office are neither grammar nor sense—and the word they [whose opinions they more approved] has no antecedent—there is nothing expressed to which it can relate.
But the two passages under consideration contain a most direct and explicit contradiction. In one we are told that our citizens are not divided in principle—but only in name. In the other, we are told that our citizens are divided into sects (which are always divided in principle)—that these sects had existed a long time, and one of them had monopolized the offices of government.
Your good genius, if you ever had one, certainly abandoned you, when you wrote the answer to the New Haven remonstrance. You must have written it without consulting the inaugural address, and when you had forgotten its contents. The address breathes harmony and conciliation—it is predicated on the idea of slight divisions between the citizens of the United States, which your mild and republican administration was to heal. The answer to the remonstrance, on the other hand, avows the existence of parties, of long duration, and of inveterate hostility of opinions; and the existence of such parties is offered as a justification of your removals from office and new appointments, where no other possible reason could be assigned.
Indeed, Sir, when men depart from the plain straight path of justice, into the crooked, blind ways of intrigue and party policy, and instead of aiming, with a single eye, at the public good, consult their own private views, and those of their friends, it is hardly possible for them not to cross their own track. The path of rectitude
is so broad and strait, that the difficulty is not so much in keeping, as in mistaking it. Nay, Sir, it is scarcely possible for a man of pure rectitude of mind to fall into an inconsistency. This is remarked by judges of courts, who have numberless opportunities to observe the hearts of witnesses. The witness who is under no bias, and has a single view to truth, however ignorant of letters he may be, is never embarrassed to make his narration agree in all its parts. He tells a plain, strait, probable story, and no sophistry of the parties or their lawyers, can make one part inconsistent with another.
In a subsequent paragraph, you proceed to disprove the opinion of some men, that our government is not strong enough, in doing which you take occasion to say, that our government is "in the full tide of successful experiment." Gracious heavens! Is that a successful experiment, which, in twelve years, has spread discord over our peaceful country, planted the thorns of animosity and party rancour in the bosoms of neighbours and former friends; which has converted our printing presses, into the convenient instruments of slander and malice, the right of suffrage into the means of corruption—which has instituted jealousy for confidence, private views for public good, and for wise and venerable statesmen, aspiring demagogues and scoundrels for office? What a tide of success indeed has our constitution experienced, when its administration has fallen from the dignified elevation of George Washington, and John Adams, to Thomas Jefferson and—Aaron Burr!!
From a late London Paper. MIRTH.
During the present session of the Imperial Parliament, some of the members in opposition brought forward a violent motion for censuring the administration, and for petitioning his majesty no longer to listen to the counsels of his present ministers. Several members had declared in support of the motion, but none thought it worth their while to oppose it, when Mr. Robson , a member from Ireland, losing all patience, rose and said—
"When such a question as the present was before the house, it was more than human nature could bear to hear nothing but silence from the Treasury bench. (A loud laugh.)—He then adverted to Egypt, and to Russia, condemning the conduct of ministers respecting these countries, and contending that Great Britain had been really at war with Russia ever since the peace of a certain year. Gentlemen (said he) who asserted himself from the house on account of his great abilities.—(A loud laugh.) He said Gentlemen might laugh; but he thought it was not a subject of mirth, when talents were so much wanted in that house. (Another laugh.)"
From the Washington Federalist.
A writer in one of the eastern papers not long since, charged citizen Pichon with having issued proposals for republishing the works of Godwin in this place. Mr. Pichon has written a letter to the Secretary of State, denying, and we believe very justly, the charge. The intended republication of that author's works was first announced in the National Intelligencer , but, we imagine, at the instigation of James Lyon . Lyon's funds failing, he was unable to prosecute the intended publication. A number of democrats, with the President at their head, have set up Lyon in business, and in all probability it was intended to publish those works, had not some more virtuous members of the Book-sellers Company entered their protest against it; so that the design is at present relinquished, in favor of a weekly democratic paper, which is to hickup against federalism, and which menaces literary bleatings.
SALEM, OCT. 19.
Late News from the Red Sea.
Arrived here on Saturday, ship Recovery , Capt. Dana , in 118 days from Moka at the mouth of the Red Sea. The Recovery left Moka on the 22d of June, and brings the following intelligence:—That a very large fleet of British transport ships had gone up the Red Sea with troops; it was impossible to ascertain the exact number of men employed; some accounts stated the number at 8000 men—there were several European regiments, and the remainder were the native Sepoys of the East Indies. The expedition was supposed to have employed upwards of 100 sail of large country ships—the grand fleet entered the Red Sea in April, but one division of 20 ships, arrived late in May. Before the Recovery failed from Moka , news had reached there that the army had landed at Cossire and Seuz , as little or no opposition could be made. The English had also taken possession of an Island at the head of the Red Sea, and used it for a deposit for their stores.—All was hurry and bustle at Moka , where the British had Commissaries to purchase provisions and supplies for the troops. The frigate La Forte had been loit in the Red Sea, by striking on a reef of rocks near Judda . Col. Popham , from the Cape of Good Hope had joined the army. The English had very few men of war, and it was said that these intended to fail to cruise off the coast of Brazil.
