No. 11.
IT is fortunate for human nature that it contains a principle of endurance, and fortitude, which consists in that strength, and magnanimity of heart that enables it to bear up under the pressure of many calamities; and not only patiently to endure; but spiritedly to avenge the imposition. Their manifest possession of this quality exempts the species from innumerable tricks of tyranny, which the unprincipled of the race would otherwise eternally be palming upon them, in order to fatten on their shoulders, the toils, the buttermilk, and all the drudgery of life, and without annexing to them their appropriate reward. By these means to be sure, the lives of those proud usurpers would become prosperous, and clever indeed. Their situations would be rendered more eligible; but we see the disproportionate degree of hardships that would result to the other, and by far the greater part of mankind.
The system of public policy hitherto introduced and practiced upon throughout the world, has been such as to favor an arrangement like this. Distinct countries have had their distinct, and appropriate maxims all ultimately tending to the furtherance of this one leading object. In some it has been, that "fools must be slaves, that wise men may be free." In others that is fight, and die for a king, is the highest of honor, and glory. In others that a national debt is a national blessing. These in the first place are advanced as maxims or truths; and being put out as such by the "wise men," they are not to be enquired into. It would only remain, then, to go forward in a mass, and put them in execution. Alas! if slaves are fools—how many fools have existed in the world? How large a portion of God's master work have been branded with folly? and strange to relate, how often have this despicable group as they are called (thrust down for pretended incompetency, to the very dust)—how often have they arisen in desperate resistance and hustled a tyrant from his throne—and held with reputation, the reins of empire? Were those who were incarcerated within the walls of the Bastille, previously convicted of folly? Was it from thence that authority was desired to dispirit them of the light of the sun, and to hide them from their connections and relatives? But the wise men must be free. Suppose they were left to themselves—what boundaries is it imagined, they would set to that freedom? Would they be contented with an equal participation of right, and immunity; or rather would they not keep up a continual strife for prerogative, and exemption, until it should only be for them to claim, and receive—command and be obeyed. Let history decide. And without going further, the present history of this country, which we read in daily experience, will solve the question.
But this conjured maxim was too bold to be introduced into the politics of this country. Indeed it was too bold; and positive, for the jealous, and servid temper of Britain. Their projects could be better carried on under the delusion of loyalty to a King. That name in the person of Alfred, and a number of his successors, had shed happiness on the land; it had, therefore inspired an attachment which after generations could not throw off; but had rather ascribe their grievances to other, and remoter causes, than to question a source from whence they had once derived felicity. On this hypothesis we are enabled to explain, what would otherwise appear to be a paradox, that in proportion as they have been oppressed, and distressed, with the same degree of zeal have they always rallied around their monarch.
This maxim, I say, was too bold, and palpable to delude the American people. There could be no one found daring enough to propose it. But it is curious to remark with what hair strokes of dexterity it was eluded, while its likeness was attempted to be introduced. Has not the discriminating breed of Gentlemen and Simpletons been ushered to the light in this hemisphere? Yes. And the author of it idolized in consequence. I say in consequence, because it was on account of this, and other evidences which he had given, and afterwards gave, of the complexion, and tendency of his principles. But by whom was he idolized, is a question that affords consolation? Not by full blooded Americans: Not by the real friends of their country: Not by those who had struggled with sincerity against the haughty, and avenging power of Britain, in her proud, but vain attempt to subjugate, and enslave us: No: But by the mongrel drones! the Anglo-fedraints! who are indifferent about forms of government, or maxims of policy, and care not how many groan under the griping hand of taxation, in poverty and wretchedness, provided they can suck the dainties of society, and banquet on the spoils of ruined individuals!
It is true, Mr. Adams to whom I allude, did not say the "Simpletons" must be slaves: But it is not the less evident that he intended to institute a sort of political "Passover;"—to mark the linels of their tabernacles with the token of neglect; and by a peculiar gift of legerdemain, to thrust them into the back
ground of the picture, that by languishing in the shade, they might conduce to render the "Rupendon fabric" which he was about erecting, more conspicuously splendid. It is, in pursuance of his plan of distinction, he had been to have pointed out his "Gentlemen," it is more than probable that we should have seen all the most inveterate enemies of our Revolution glittering in appendages which his own imperial hand had affixed to them, as emblems of merited distinction. And it is certain that by "gentlemen" he meant such, as, in his opinion, were entitled to controul. But, glory to God! the wicked who prepared the pit, have fallen themselves into it.

LAWS OF THE UNION.
[PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY.]
SEVENTH CONGRESS
of the UNITED STATES, at their first session.
Begun and held at the City of Washington, in the Territory of Columbia, on Monday, the 7th of December, 1801.
AN ACT
Making provision for the redemption of the whole of the Public Debt of the United States.
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That so much of the duties on merchandise and tonnage as, together with the monies, other than surpluses of revenue, which now constitute the sinking fund, or shall accrue to it by virtue of any provisions heretofore made, & together with the sums annually required to discharge the annual interest and charges accruing on the present debt of the United States, including temporary loans heretofore obtained, & also future loans which may be made for reimbursing, or redeeming, any installments, or parts of the principal of the said debt, will amount to an annual sum of seven millions three hundred thousand dollars, be, and the same hereby is yearly appropriated to the said fund; and the said sums are hereby declared to be vested in the commissioners of the sinking fund, in the same manner as the monies heretofore appropriated to the said fund, to be applied by the said commissioners to the payment of interest and charges, and to the reimbursement or redemption of the principal of the public debt, and shall be and continue appropriated until the whole of the present debt of the United States, and the loans which may be made for reimbursing or redeeming any parts or installments of the principal of the said debt, shall be reimbursed and redeemed: Provided, that after the whole of the said debt, the old six per cent. stock, the deferred stock, the seventeen hundred and ninety-six six per cent. stock and three per cent. stock excepted, shall have been reimbursed or redeemed, any balance of the sums annually appropriated by this act, which may remain unexpended at the end of six months next succeeding the end of the calendar year to which such annual appropriation refers, shall be carried to the surplus fund, and cease to be vested by virtue of this act in the commissioners of the sinking fund, and the appropriation, so far as relates to such unexpended balance, shall cease and determine.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury annually, and in each year, to cause to be paid to the commissioners of the sinking fund the said sum of seven millions three hundred thousand dollars, in such payments; and at such times, in each year, as the situation of the treasury will permit: Provided, that all such payments as may be necessary to enable the said commissioners to discharge, or reimburse, any demands against the United States, an account of the principal or interest of the debt, which shall be actually due, in conformity to the engagements of the said states, shall be made at such time and times, in each year, as will enable the said commissioners faithfully and punctually to comply with such engagement.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That all reimbursements of the capital, or principal, of the present debt of the United States, including future loans which may be made for reimbursing or redeeming any installments, or parts of the same, and all payments on account of the interest and charges accruing upon the said debt shall be made under the superintendence of the commissioners of the sinking fund. And it shall be the duty of the said commissioners to cause to be applied and paid out of the said fund, yearly and every year, at the treasury of the United States, the several and respective sums following, to wit: first, such sum and sums as by virtue of any act, or acts, they have heretofore been directed to apply and to pay: Secondly, such sum and sums as may be annually wanted to discharge the annual interest and charges accruing on any other part of the present debt of the United States, including the interest and charges which may accrue on future loans which may be

made for reimbursing or redeeming any installments or parts of the principal of the said debt: Thirdly, such sum and sums as may annually be required to discharge any installment or part of the principal of the present debt of the United States, and of any future loans which may be made for reimbursing, or discharging the same, which shall be actually due and demandable, and which shall not by virtue of this, or any other act, be renewed or prolonged, or reimbursed, out of the proceeds of a new loan: And also it shall be the duty of the said commissioners to cause to be applied the surplus of such fund as may at any time exist, after satisfying the purposes aforesaid, towards the further and final redemption, by payment, or purchase, of the present debt of the United States, including loans for the reimbursement thereof, temporary loans heretofore obtained from the bank of the United States, and those demands against the United States, under any treaty, or convention, with a foreign power, for the payment of which the faith of the United States has been, or may hereafter, be, pledged by Congress: Provided, however , that the whole, or any part, of such demands, arising under a treaty, or convention, with a foreign power, and of such temporary loans, may, at any time, be reimbursed either out of the sinking fund, or, if the situation of the treasury will permit, out of any other monies which have been, or may hereafter be, appropriated to that purpose.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted , That the commissioners of the sinking fund be, and they hereby are empowered, with the approbation of the President of the United States, to borrow on the credit of the United States, either in America, or abroad, by obtaining a prolongation of former loans, or otherwise, the sums requisite for the payment of the installments or parts of principal of the Dutch debt, which become due in the years one thousand eight hundred and three, one thousand eight hundred and four, one thousand eight hundred and five, and one thousand eight hundred and six; and that a sum equivalent to that to be thus borrowed, or reloaned, shall be laid out by the commissioners of the sinking fund, in the purchase or redemption of such parts of the present debt of the United States, and other demands against them, as the commissioners of the sinking fund may lawfully pay, agreeably to the provisions herein before made, and as the said commissioners shall in their judgment deem most expedient, so as to effect the payment, annually, of seven millions, three hundred thousand dollars, towards the final discharge of the whole debt, agreeably to such provision: Provided , That the United States shall have a right to reimburse any loan thus made within six years after the date of the same, and that the rate of interest thereupon shall not exceed five per centum per annum, nor the charges thereupon the rate of five per centum on the capital borrowed: And provided always , That the power herein given shall not be construed to repeal diminish, or affect the power given to the said commissioners, by the tenth section of the act entitled "an act making further provision for the support of public credit, and for the redemption of the public debt," to borrow certain sums for the discharge of the installments of the capital, or principal, of the public debt, in the manner, and on the terms, prescribed by the said section; nor the power given to them by an act entitled "an act making provision for the payment of certain debts of the United States, to borrow certain sums and to sell the shares of the bank of the United States, belonging to the United States, in the manner, on the terms, and for the purposes authorized by the said act; provided, further, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to revive any act or part of an act, authorizing the loan of money, and which hath heretofore expired.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted , That for the purpose of more effectually securing the reimbursement of the Dutch debt, the commissioners of the sinking fund may, and they hereby are empowered, with the approbation of the President of the United States, to contract, either with the bank of the United States, or with any other public institution, or with individuals, for the payment in Holland, of the whole, or any part, of the principal of the said Dutch debt, and of the interest and charges accruing on the same, as the said demands become due, on such terms as the said commissioners shall think most advantageous to the United States; or to employ either the said bank, or any other public institution, or any individual or individuals, as agent, or agents, for the purpose of purchasing bills of exchange, or any other kind of remittances, for the purpose of discharging the interest and principal of said debt, and to allow to such agent or agents a compensation not exceeding one-fourth of one per cent. on the remittances thus purchased or procured by them, under the direction of the said commissioners, and as much of the duties on tonnage and merchandise as may be necessary for that purpose is hereby appropriated towards paying the extra allowance or commission resulting from such transaction, or transactions, and also to pay any deficiency arising from any loss incurred upon any remittance purchased or procured under the direction of the said commissioners, for the purpose of discharging the principal and interest of the said debt.
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted , That the commissioners of the sinking fund be, and they hereby are empowered, with the approbation of the President of the United States, to employ, if they shall deem it necessary, an agent in Europe for the purpose of transacting any business relative to the discharge of the Dutch debt, and to the loans authorized by this, or any other act, for the purpose of discharging the same, and also to allow him a compensation not exceeding three thousand dollars a year, to be paid out of any monies in the treasury not otherwise appropriated.
Sec. 7. And be it further enacted , That nothing in this act contained shall be construed to repeal, alter, or affect any of the provisions of any former act pledging the faith of the United States to the payment of the interest, or
principal, of the public debt; and that all such payments shall continue to be made at the time heretofore prescribed by law; and the surplus only of the appropriations made by this act beyond the sums payable by virtue of the provisions of any former act, shall be applicable to the reimbursement, redemption, or purchase of the public debt in the manner provided by this act.
Sec. 8. And be it further enacted , That all the restrictions and regulations heretofore established by law, for regulating the execution of the duties enjoined upon the commissioners of the sinking fund, shall apply to and be in as full force for the execution of the analogous duties enjoined by this act, as if they were herein particularly repeated and re-enacted: Provided however , That the particular annual account of all sales of stock, of loans, and of payments, by them made, shall, hereafter, be laid before Congress on the first week of February, in each year; and so much of any former act as directed such account to be laid before Congress within fourteen days after their meeting, is hereby repealed.

INTERESTING STATEMENT.
LEAVING in this, and the preceding paper, a made an enumeration of the civil appointments by the present executive from the third day of March 1801, to the third day of May 1802, with the circumstances under which they were made, so far as we have been able to collect them, which are considered as correct, though they are not exhibited with any pretension to official accuracy; it may now be proper to analyze and arrange them. This has been already, in some measure, done, in the National Intelligencer of the 11th of January, so far as related to appointments antecedently made. The present view will comprise the statement then made, with the addition of subsequent appointments, to the third of the last month.
The whole of the appointments amount to 123
  Which may be arranged as follows:   Cases of resignation, declension, promotion or death 26   Of expirations of commissions, not renewed 3   Of vacancies left unfilled by the former administration, mostly consulships, with new consular appointments 37   Of new nominations, in the room of what have been called midnight appointments, viz. those made in the last days or hours of Mr. Adams' being in office 21   Of removals to offices which the individuals appointed had held before 6   Of removals for misconduct, or revolutionary Toryism 14   Of marshals and attorneys removed, and republicans substituted, as a protection for republican citizens against the federalism of the courts 3   Of removals, to give to those who have been systematically excluded some share in the administration of the government 5   Of removals on grounds of special propriety 5   Of new appointments 3   In all 123 
Much has been said of the persecuting spirit of the Executive in the removal of federal officers. The topic is still the text of invective, whenever all others fail. It becomes republican prints as often as the charge is made to repel it; and not only to assert, but to prove, that no administration has ever existed, which owed its existence to a revolution in the public sentiment, that has exhibited so much forbearance and magnanimity. To furnish this proof, the above statement, with the following elucidating remarks, are published.
During the last session the President, in order to demonstrate the magnitude of executive patronage, and to guard against its possible abuse, presented to Congress a document, containing a view of all the existing offices, with all the emoluments attached to each.
In the civil department there appear, with the exception of all the post-masters, and a host of inferior officers, to be 2,044.
Of this number, in a period of 15 months, 33 have been removed on a variety of grounds above specified—21 new appointments have been made to offices, attempted to be filled by Mr. Adams, after he had lost the confidence of the nation—Making altogether 54.
Of those removed;—Some were guilty of official misconduct by not attending to the discharge of duties.—Some were intemperate in their habits.—Some had not accounted, as by law directed, for public monies.—Some were deemed incompetent.—Some had falsely declared they would hold no office under the present executive, thereby making themselves obnoxious to the belief that their personal antipathy would frustrate their performance of duty.—Some were in offices, which it is agreed on all hands, ought exclusively to be filled by those who enjoy the entire confidence of the executive.—Some had been the instruments of carrying into effect unconstitutional laws, prostrating the liberty of the press, and persecuting the innocent for an honest difference in political opinion.—Some from the long enjoyment of office, had acquired great wealth, and no longer, discharging the duties of office themselves, committed the public interests to the management of clerks.
When these circumstances are seriously weighed, and when it is further considered, that in the remote and extended agencies of the government, improper appointments must sometimes take place, which time alone can expose, and which would induce the same administration that conferred, to revoke a commission; when it is considered, that in the multifarious temptations to which men are subject, a man apparently good to day may be guilty of misconduct to-morrow; can we be surprised that in the course of more than a year 33 officers, or if federalism will have it 54 officers out of 2,044 have been removed—that is one fortieth part? Will not our correct astonishment be that the removals have been so few?
Let calumny be silent, when this impressive contrast is exhibited:
The old administration had enlisted under its banner all the officers, amounting to—2,044. The present administration has changed only 33.
Republicanism truly Triumphant.
Whoever could believe that a majority of the people of the United States were more friendly to the late than to the present administration, must be passing gullible, when it is recollected, that
The governor and legislature of Rhode Island are Republican.
There are three-eighths, at least, of the people of Massachusetts friendly to the present administration.
There is a very small majority of federalists in the legislature of New-Hampshire.
In Connecticut, the republicans have the present year 846 votes more than at the last election—that, according to the return of votes at the election this year, the relative strength of parties in that state stands thus—Federal 6,779—Republican 3,684.
In Vermont parties are nearly equally divided—if there is any preponderance, it is on the side of republicanism.
The governors and legislatures of the states of New-York, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North-Carolina, South-Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky and Tennessee, are decidedly republican. How any one can, under these circumstances, assert that a majority of the people of these states are federalists, can only be accounted for by reflecting that the assertion has been made in the Boston Centinel, and then all wonder will cease.

FOREIGN SUMMARY.
A Senate Consulta has been issued in France, in consequence of a message from Government by the Conservatory Senate, which pronounces an amnesty to the greatest part of the emigrants. It is added that the number of those remaining on the list is only from one thousand to twelve hundred.—The wisdom of the present government of France, has been rarely exemplified in a more distinguished point of view, with respect both to conciliation and precaution, than the Act of Amnesty lately passed in favor of the emigrants.—The re-establishment of religion in France is announced as agreeable to the general convictions of the Legislature, and high encomiums have been passed on the christian religion. The Catholic religion, familiar to the French people, is the communion which the law embraces, and which the Consuls will accept as the religion of the people. The protestant religion, as nearest to it in its discipline and government, will be tolerated with special indulgence, and the reformed church will be permitted to enjoy its worship. We are told there will be 10 Arch Bishops and 50 Bishops. Cardinal Caprara has been received at Legate a latere from Rome by the First Consul. The Concordat admits prayers for the French Government, under its present administration, and the law requires this tribute of religious respect from all who are indulged in the exercise of public christian worship. We are told the political year is to begin in September, but the church is to use the old Calendar, and Sunday is to be observed for public worship, and by all the constituted authorities of the State, as before the revolution. We are assured that the sacrament was administered to the First Consul in the church of Notre Dame, on the 25th March last. The measures which will be taken for the support of the clergy, and to define their privileges, must be determined from circumstances not yet known. The cardinal Legate has induced some of the dignitaries, of the church, but special constitutions provide that only Frenchmen should hold ecclesiastical offices of any name.—The Pope has authorized the re-establishment of the Jesuits in Russia.—The French government intends to send 3000 European families to settle in St. Domingo.—The Valais, part of Switzerland, is organizing into a Republic, under the guarantee of France.—Bonaparte is expected to take a tour through Belgium, Amsterdam, the Hague and Antwerp.—The Proclamation of Peace was made on Thursday the 20th of April, in the city of London, with great pomp, splendor and solemnity; and in the evening the city was brilliantly illuminated. We cannot pretend to describe the effect of this wide extended blaze. The whole firmament was on fire; and by the darkness of the night, the splendor of the effect to convert night into the brightness of the day was the more conspicuous. The moon and stars were happily withdrawn from the competition of art to outstrip their glories, and to supercede their reign.—The liberty of the Scheldt having been officially announced, extensive commercial engagements are about to be formed by the merchants of Hamburg, and those of Antwerp, which formerly belonged to the Hanseatic confederacy.—A ship of war of 130 guns, will be launched at Rochfort on the 18th April.—A young woman, of the age of 17 married to a lad of 14, in the Department of Calvados, was lately delivered of two girls and a boy, who are all likely to live and do well.—The price of rags has fallen since the peace nearly 50 per cent. The price of paper is about to experience a proportionate reduction.—The manufacturers of embroidery at Brussels, are preparing a magnificent robe for the lady of the First Consul, inwrought with devices emblematical of the general peace.—Ganteaume's squadron, which had arrived from St. Domingo, was immediately to return with 10,000 troops, and most ample supplies of provisions.

AMERICAN LITERARY FAIR.
We learn from New-York that the salutary effects of this institution have far exceeded the expectations of its promoters. Forty-six Booksellers met on the 1st inst. and numbers more daily till the 5th, at which time the number of volumes disposed of was estimated at more than half a million, and then much business remained to be done. Measures are however adopted to make the Fair permanent, as another is to be held in Philadelphia on the 1st Tuesday in October next, at New-York the 1st Tuesday in April, 1803, and so continued semi-annually.
During their stay in New-York, those who attended at the Fair partook of an entertainment provided for them; an oration was delivered, mirth and harmony prevailed, and it was said to be truly a "feast of reason and flow of soul." The toasts drank, which are appropriate and spirited, want of room obliges us to omit. An address of the printers and booksellers to their brethren in the United States is also omitted for the same reason.
[Bee.]
Russell's "amputating knife" to separate the Southern States, and dismember the Union, his "logic of gun-powder, and the persuasion of
the bayonet," to overawe the republicans, and give the mortal wound to the liberties of his own country, is a precious sample of Federalism, and shews to what lengths the faction would proceed if they once more possessed the whole power of the United States.
[Salem Reg.]
Federal Misrepresentation detected.
WE should not think the following estimate of any consequence to the public, only as it serves to expose another falsehood, published in a late Mercury, against the present Congress of the United States. This truly federal paper has had the hardihood to assert that "the house of representatives of 1802, have expended better than nine thousand nine hundred and fifty dollars more in proportion than the house of 1798 did."—Let the public examine the statements. Facts are stubborn things.
Estimate of contingent expenses of the House of Representatives of the United States for the year 1802.
  Printing business for the session, as per bills of particulars 9,000   Binding, folding, and stitching papers 600   Stationary to the 1st of April 1,200   Newspapers for members by order of the house 1,000   Fuel, candles, and syrup, and every other contingency 1,000   Dollars 12,800 
Statement of disbursements of the House of Representatives for contingent expenses for the year 1798.
  Paid for printing 8,556 22   Newspapers 1,640 90   Fuel 475 70   Candles, syrup, lime juice, furniture, &c. (per particulars) &c. &c. 1,191 81   Stationary and book binding 2,224 61   Dollars 14,089 24 
The difference of these accounts in favor of the house expenses for 1802, being thus much saved by the republican members, is 1,289 24 To which we must add the savings in the pay of the members, as the house has been in session only four and a half months, instead of eight months, suppose about 30,000 Total balance to the credit of the year 1802, Dolls. 31,289 24
EXTRACT OF A LETTER
From England to one of the Editors of the American Literary Advertiser, dated March, 1802.
Mr. Windham is very bitter against the peace; he says it reduces the country into a province of France. Your President's message to Congress receives the most unqualified approbation from all parties here. During John Adams's administration we thought you were pursuing the ruinous system of our government, and many of our friends who talked of emigrating when you left us gave up the idea from an apprehension that they would get little by the exchange. The subject is now again become interesting, and I have no doubt but the United States will be enriched by the talents, industry, and capital, of many of our best citizens.
NEWPORT,
Saturday, June 19, 1802.
On Monday next, the Honorable General Assembly of this State will convene in this town, agreeably to adjournment.
COMMUNICATION.
How happens it that the Federal Editors of the Mercury have not published until the eleventh hour the Speech of Governor Strong? Nor is it accompanied with one solitary remark. Does he speak in a manner too much approaching republicanism, and inimical to aristocracy, that they would not hurry the press to insert it, or are they preferred with better matter from a purer source, such as a Balance and an Evening Post—papers supported by an Hamiltonian faction, who are now warring against the constitutional authorities of the country, and who, "in order to influence opinions or measures, or to retaliate upon supposed injuries, have no scruple in violating the plainest rules of decency and justice." This is but one of the many republican like observations marked in Gov. Strong's Speech.—He is not in favor of a civil war, nor of a division of the Northern from the Southern States. Alas! how unfortunate that he differs so materially from these friends of order—but on the contrary, he says it is the duty of every State to support that constitution and government which the people wills; for "so long as these States are united, they will continue to increase in power and prosperity, but whenever the ties which connect them are dissolved, they will probably decay and fall to ruin by mutual jealousies and intestine feuds." How different this, how unlike modern federalism. He would have them all confine their remarks within the limits of truth and candor, nor let their poisonous tongues be forever vomiting abuses on the heads of government, unworthy even of Porcupine, their former favorite (but now abandoned) leader. He wishes also their discussions on political subjects might be made with a strict regard to honor and decency, and every sentence marked with calmness—not exciting the passions of the multitude by cries of French depredations, loans, rub plots, and all the idle florids that their crazed brains can imagine.
An Intent Observer.
The pertinent "Communication," over the signature of "A Republican," shall appear next week.

RURAL SONG.
THE morning was fair, and the hamlet look'd Not a cloud on the welkin was seen, When with ANNA I trip'd to the village away, To dance with the swains on the green.
The bright smiling sunbeams, that play'd in my view, Having chas'd the chill cloud of the night, Seem'd hast'ning to dry, for her footsteps, the dew, That was wept for the loss of the light.
And off the wild music our progress delay'd; On the risk'd of the landscape around; So sweet was her voice, every word that she laid, Echo caught, and repeated the sound.
But when to the joy-looking group we drew nigh; While hope kindly gild'd the scene, The dark vernal shower, that obscur'd the blue sky, Cast a sorrowful gloom o'er each mien;
And such I reflected is life's doubtful day, Joy oft is o'er clouded with care; But the rude winds of March give a mildness to May, As the rose by the thistle's more fair.
By grief, in its turn, we are taught to apprise, Each blessing that nature bestows; And to whom the adversity's lesson denies, No value of happiness knows. AMYNTAS.
