Legislative and State concerns.
Fellow-Citizens,
As there has not been a great struggle, betwixt the Federal party and the Republican party, (especially in this State) which should carry the lead in government?—if we are all after a free government, what need of any party spirit?—Is it not to be feared, that there are some artful, designing men, amongst us, whose minds are wholly devoted to riches, and their whole business to obtain those riches, wholly depend on an arbitrary government? Should we not do well, to see whether there are any lucrative branches of business, admitted in this State, which are an eternal bar, to a free government? Can a free government, possibly exist, where any one class of citizens, are commissioned, or tolerated by authority, to lord it over, or to mislead, any other class? Can it be consistent in a free government, to tolerate any class of citizens, to excite law-suits amongst the ignorant people, and be the real cause of, perhaps, two thirds of the actions that are commenced in the State yearly, and to pay very little attention, to the solemn oath they have taken, or to the Table of Fees, made by authority, to govern them in their charges for services? Can it be consistent, for them to be active, in making laws, to govern a free people, and to make them lengthy and mysterious, and then to take the lead, in the bar, and on the bench, to explain those laws, their own way, to deceive the Jury, and to take turns, to fill the bench for awhile, for the honor, and then resign, and take the bar again, for the sake of the profits, and to have their technical terms, and mason signs, as it were, to carry their party with a full design, to get the cause, right or wrong, for their clients, to make themselves popular, in their calling.—Were there such a class of citizens, found in this State, should we not be almost ready to think, that one of our parties, will depend on them, to work out their political salvation, by yet, bringing about an Arbitrary Government?—Still we should believe, that there are but very few of our common people, that would support them, in bringing about an arbitrary government, if they were not misled by art? Should we be so unfortunate, as to find, such a class of citizens, misleading the people in this State, and making their fortunes, on the sins of the people, we should be almost ready to think, that our Legislature, at their next session, would find out, that if there was any thing, to be made, by the sins of the people, that the State might have it, as well as for individuals to run away with it, and that, they would assign one, or more Attorneys at Law, to each county in this State, to have a fixed salary, and for all fees to go to the public chest, and for them to draw all Court Writs, and do all Attorney business in the State, to plead on both sides of the question impartially, without any private fee, or reward, then they would answer the intent, of the first institution of lawyers, which was to be ministers of justice, to bring justice to the line, and rightnesses to the plummet, not to darken council, and pervert judgment.—It law suits were to prevail, as at this day, no doubt it would cost the State one hundred thousand dollars per year, but we trust, there will not be one third as many actions, as at present, and that, the table of fees, will be attended to—in that case, there will be but small profits, by the sins of the people, yet we may have this, for our consolation, that the people have less of sinning. Formerly the youth in this State, that had an education, studied divinity, which was then supposed to be as lucrative as any branch they could take.—Lawyers in this State, a few years since, were very scarce, and poor, for want of business, and since they have increased, and are increasing, like the locust in Egypt, their business has become very lucrative, (what is that a sign of?) now all the youth, are studying law, instead of divinity,—what is that a sign of?
Now we may see, that it is a very nice point, to have a free government, in reality, and ought to draw our greatest attention; if a man, or any set of simple men, are led astray by the artful, and have no remedy but the civil law, which they do not understand, and there to be imposed on, by the artful, or perhaps have no money to go to law with, and are obliged to let the guilty go free, and enjoy their booty,—in such a case should not the Legislature be a Father's House, for them to repair to, for redress, by way of petition, to have a committee to see that justice be done, and damages made good, without a law suit—otherwise how can it be a free government, when the foul thereof, is to protect the weak, from the power of the strong, and from art and intrigue.
Are not almost all the officers of government, that are useful, put under the control of the people, by their being subject to an annual election? why should any, that are a real burden, be suffered to go at large, for ever, without control, and even suffered to control the people?—If the people would rightly consider their constitutional strength and privileges, they might soon redress such a grievance, by instructing their Representatives, to remove all real obstacles, to a free government; and if they were not obeyed, they might choose others, the next year, that would obey them.—Ought not the common people, in the United States, to look their privileges, when compared with the people, in arbitrary governments, where not more than one to a hundred, are allowed to be free voters, and the artful and designing few, are allowed to choose all their public officers, who load the common people with rent, and taxes, and make them live like dogs—how easy it would be, for the State of New-Hampshire at this day, to set an example for the whole union, to follow, by letting them know, that there was one State in the union, that dared to set up a free government, in reality, and were determined to support it against all opposition—it might be considered, to be, at least, worth ten thousand dollars to the State, to be the first, to set so glorious an example, which doubtless, would soon be followed, by the other States.—Pray let us think of these things, before it is too late, least some other State, should get the start, and like Jacob, steal the blessing from us.—When our Laws are abridged, and simplified, down to plain simple justice, and to mean nothing but justice, they will in a measure explain themselves, but where they are made, and managed, by art and intrigue, no honest man can explain them—when our great round of Courts are reduced and put under the care of honest men, who can forego the idea of pecuniary reward, and be willing to take their chance, in the common lot of humanity, with their brother republicans, and serve them faithfully for what sum they can afford, and not grumble about their salary, and strive to enlighten the jury, rather than to blind them,—then we may obtain justice without delay, and without a very long purse, and still support the law in its full force and energy. Perhaps reducing the number of members in the House, and enlarging the Senate, might be of public utility.—When we have a free government in reality, there will be but a small run of business for the Legislature, compared with the present mode, then they can afford to attend to the weak, and protect them from the power of the strong.—All denominations of men both in civil and religious matters, are under the protection of the law, and no one however religious, should think himself above attending to civil matters; both religion and law must be kept up in their full strength and energy, and they are really synonymous terms; as to our temporal duty, they both require a strict adherence, to a well-fortified conscience in all our conduct both toward God and man, they are both realities thus far, but as to the superstitious ceremonies, and the great round of formalities in either, are a net, spread by the managers, to catch money in, or to usurp the people to idolize them.—If a Justice's power was enlarged, to fifty dollars, and draw his own writs, and all appeals, to the Supreme Court; would it not have, four-fifths, of the expense of law, as in the present mode.—Now let us come to points.—Does our Constitution give us the privilege of a free Government, and that, in reality, or not; that being the case, does it not give us, by the same rule, free liberty to remove all obstacles, which are an eternal bar, to a free government; now, what but sloth and negligence, hinders us from having such a government, and that directs, if a few dishonest, or timorous men try to delay it, we trust we have honest men enough to over-rule them, who are not bashful in doing their duty, because they are acquainted with such business.—If the Constitution does not admit of enlarging the power of a Justice, it may be done pro tem.—until the new revision of the Constitution.—The very name of a sworn attorney at law, in a free government, is incompatible with a free government,—those assigned to each county, may be termed ministers of justice, agreeably to the intent of the first institution of Lawyers, and may be admitted to plead a cause before a Justice, with a private fee, on any special occasion, provided both parties can agree on one, to investigate matters on both sides of the question, impartially. If either of our parties, are after an arbitrary Government, the bite has, in rightly determining, which, is which. If the Legislature undertake to remove those obstacles to a free Government, perhaps, it may be seen, which, is which.—After all, it lies with the common people, to make or break, a free Government,—since their public officers, are their servants, and are once in a year, wholly in their power;—A free Government, that gives free liberty of conscience, is too great a blessing, to be trifled with;—Pray let us be careful that we do not abuse our Liberty. CIRCULAR.
SEAT OF GOVERNMENT.
THE importance and utility of a permanent seat for the Hon. General Court of the State of New-Hampshire, has, we understand, been suggested by many of its honorable members, and the necessity of which is so obvious to all, that it needs no arguments to demonstrate its high importance. But a question will naturally arise in the minds of some, what town or place is the most eligible? This question is very soon solved. A few years since, when a similar one was agitating in the Hon. General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, it was argued that Boston was the capital of the Commonwealth, and should receive the encouragement of every citizen; and although many of its members had to travel more than three hundred miles from the extreme parts of the District of Maine, yet most of them trading largely with the merchants of Boston, would have to perform those journeys from necessity; but now from convenience and pleasure, for at the adjournment of the courts, daily, they could transact their mercantile affairs, without the least inconvenience. And it gave distant citizens also, (who had no other business, than to attend court) the pleasure of seeing the metropolis of the State (which perhaps would not otherwise be the case,) and of becoming acquainted with the habits and dispositions of the citizens, which, by no means, are inferior considerations. The same arguments will apply with greater force, as it respects this State, and a multitude of other arguments might be adduced to show the great importance and utility of having the permanent seat of government for this State, in the metropolis. And Portsmouth being the ONLY SEAPORT in the State, it seems as though Providence had marked it out for the particular management of its government and citizens, and as claiming their highly merited consideration and attention.
It is also suggested by many citizens of Portsmouth, that should they meet the encouragement of the honorable General Court in appointing this metropolis as a permanent seat for the government of New-Hampshire, this town would be at the expense of purchasing and presenting to the State, a most beautiful and elevated situation in its centre, which is a little removed from the noise and bustle of the public market and parade, and which commands a delightful view of the river and harbor, as well as of the town; and is one of the most airy and salubrious situations within its vicinity. It is also sufficiently large for wings to the Capitol for public offices, committee rooms, &c. and also for necessary out houses. There are several lots besides the one in contemplation, which are now clear of buildings, and could be obtained.
And as to boarding the members, accommodation could be obtained in respectable families for more than five hundred gentlemen, at as low a rate as in any town in the State.—Many families had made provision for several gentlemen, previous to the present session of the Court, at four dollars per week (or even at a lower rate, provided any were boarded for less,) who now have not a single boarder.
In fact, this town holds out every inducement, and every encouragement to the honorable General Court, to establish their permanent seat of Government in this place, and to make provision at their present session for building a new and convenient State House,
which would accommodate each branch of the government, and be an ornament and credit to the State. The many advantages the citizens throughout the State would derive from having the seat of government in the heart and capital of the State, is incalculable. And it is hoped the honorable Court, will take these few hints into their wise consideration, and favorably decide thereon. THE VOICE OF THOUSANDS.
From the PITTSFIELD SUN.
Actions speak louder than Words.
THIS is a truth verified beyond all contradiction, in the conduct of the Federalists throughout the Union. They pretend to be friendly to the Constitutions, while they are crying out continually against Democracy, tho' they know all the Constitutions in the Union are strictly Democratic, yet under the spurious name of Federalism, they are trying with all their might to destroy our present happy form of government, and to bring in Monarchy, or Aristocracy. This fact is abundantly verified in their continually decrying Democracy, Democrats, &c. Every man of common information knows there is but three kinds of governments in the world, viz. Monarchy, Aristocracy, and Democracy, and those that do not like the latter must with for one of the others, or none at all. And it is a mystery to me, that the people of the United States should suffer those wicked, designing demagogues to gull and trick them out of their rights. I wonder the common people do not see through those gauzy, hypocritical pretensions of the leaders of the federal faction. Every considerable man must know they are sworn enemies to the liberties of the common people, and with to bring them into the same state of vassalage that the common people in England are; so that when they get into office the people cannot turn them out; then they would ride the swinish multitude, or the cod hoppers, (as a late Governor was pleased to call them) with the whip and spur, and make them bend under their burdens, and dance to their own tune of do as I bid you and not grumble. Another undeniable evidence, that the Federalists are hostile to the Independence, the Constitutions, and Gen. Washington's Farewell Address, is, they do not wish to purchase the new School-Book, containing those things, and I know some have opposed their being introduced into Schools. I suppose they are afraid the rising generation will obtain such information that they will not be so readily caught in their gull traps, which old Sampson took so much pains to write about in the Constant. And if he had been divinely inspired, he could not have described his own party better. However, it must be confessed he discovered sentiments and address in trying to fix on Republicans, but the covering could not cover itself.
Now I solemnly conjure you, my fellow citizens, carefully to read and meditate on Gen. Washington's valedictory address, and carefully compare it with the Federal writers, and if you are not duped, you must see they are acting directly contrary to his solemn and most friendly advice.—But if you will go on, and will not take warning, I hope you will not complain when those depots come to pass the whip over your backs.
I tell you of a truth, every man is born a despot. And there is no way to keep from tyranny but by frequent elections; for only let a man get into office for life, and he will immediately be tyrannical.—But frequent elections is what the Federalists hate, for when they have been in high offices they cannot bear to be brought down to a level with the base born swinish multitude. Witness the vociferous clamors of the Federalists every week throughout the Union, since their fall. They and their minions have endeavored to keep the Union in ferment ever since. But thank God they have not put out all the people's eyes, and I hope never will. But there is danger, for I find in all countries but this, such men have succeeded to enslave the common people, and I find they stick at nothing here, to accomplish their tyrannical designs, neither fraud nor falsehood.

FRANCE. STRASBOURG. Sept. 29, 1805. ADDRESS OF BONAPARTE TO HIS ARMY ON CROSSING THE RHINE.
SOLDIERS,
THE war of the third coalition has commenced.—The Austrian army has passed the Inn, violated treaties, attacked and driven from his capital, our ally, Yourselfs! You have been hurried by forced marches to the defence of the frontiers: You have already passed the Rhine: And nothing shall arrest our progress until we have ensured the independence of the Germanic Body; relieved our allies; and confounded the pride of our aggressors. We will not make peace without a guarantee. Our generosity shall not again triumph over our interest.
SOLDIERS! Your EMPEROR is in the midst of you. You are the advance-guard of the Great Nation: If it should be necessary, the whole of that Nation shall rise at my voice to confound and dissolve this new league formed by the hatred and gold of England.
SOLDIERS, we have forced marches to make; fatigues and privations of every kind to endure:—But the obstacles which present themselves we will overcome; and we will never take repose until we have planted our Eagles upon the citadels of our enemies.
NAPOLEON.
By order of his Majesty. Le Major-General of the Grand Army, the Marshal Berthier.
PARIS, Oct. 6.—This day a Message from the Emperor, was read in the Senate, informing that he had appointed the Grand Elector Joseph, (Bonaparte's Brother) to preside over the civil administration during his absence.—The Senate voted thanks to the Emperor, and sent a deputation to Joseph Bonaparte, expressive of their satisfaction, at his nomination.
ROVEREDO, Sept. 27.—The head-quarters of the Archduke Charles will to day be removed from Padua to Vicenza. The spirit of the Austrian army in Italy is excellent; the regiments have mutually sworn to each other, not to retreat before the enemy; but to conquer, or die.
VIENNA, Oct. 2.—His Excellency Count Haugwitz, the Prussian Minister, arrived here on the 26th of September. It is known that the object of the journey of his Excellency is to maintain the tranquillity of Europe, and to conciliate, by the means of mediation, the powers which are on the brink of a rupture. It is said, that our court is much inclined to this reconciliation, under certain conditions, and especially if security can be obtained.
It is believed that the Emperor will be present at the approaching interview between the Emperor Alexander, and the King of Prussia.
BERLIN, Oct. 3.—His Prussian Majesty, proposes to set out in a few days to comply with the request of the Emperor of Russia. The interview of the two Sovereigns was to be at Pulavi; but it appears that the departure of His Majesty is deferred.
Major Haake is returned, and has brought to our Sovereign a letter, from the Emperor Alexander, in the hand-writing of that Monarch.
MENTZ, Oct. 5.—In a few days, the six principle corps of the great army, which is rapidly advancing towards Swabia and Bavaria, in the direction of Newburg and Ingolstadt, will have formed a junction; they amount in the whole to 140,000 men.
It is reported to day, that Count Philip Cobenzel has passed through Strasburgh, on his return from Paris.
The Electors of Bavaria, Wurtemberg, and Baden, have joined their troops to the French.
SWABIA, Oct. 3.—On the 1st of October the first act of hostility took place at Vaihingen, in the territory of Wurtemberg. An Austrian patrol of cavalry being surrounded by a French detachment to retire and refusing, were obliged to surrender prisoners.
STUTGARDT, Oct. 5.—The French Troops are marching on all sides, from the Rhine to the Danube. This city, and all the environs, are full of troops. The French have published, that war is declared. It is said, that the head-quarters of the French will be transferred to Loupburg. The Emperor took his residence there, in the night between the 2d and 3d of this month; soon after which, at the publication of war, a courier arrived here from Loupburg, and two foreign Ministers, with their Secretaries of Legation, and a Counsellor of State and Charge d'Affaires, were immediately arrested. They were not permitted to go out nor to speak to any person whatever.
BANKS OF THE REDNITZ, Oct. 5.—Yesterday afternoon, a Bavarian Column, of 16,000 men, infantry and cavalry, from the camp at Forchheim, appeared unexpectedly before Bayersdorf, and prepared to enter the Prussian territory. The strongest protestations were made against this proceeding, on the part of the Prussians; but the Bavarian General replied, that he had express orders for what he did, that he should pass by force. The thirty grenadiers who were there, being unable to make any resistance, the column proceeded by Seebach, Schallushof, and Fach, at Forth. They encamped on the heath of that name where another Bavarian column is expected to day, which will make an army of 90,000 men. The French are, in like manner, on their march to join the Bavarians; and, it is supposed, in conjunction with them, will penetrate towards Nuernberg, in order to take the Austrians in flank and rear.
FRANCONIA, Oct. 5.—Circumstances here have suddenly changed. It was supposed that the French were drawing towards Bohemia, but they have suddenly turned to the South, towards the Danube, in order, as it appears, to take the Austrians in flank. Bernadotte is marching by Offenheim, towards Neuburg; Marmont by Merzenheim, towards Donaueswerth; and the Bavarian corps under Leroi, towards the Ingolstadt.
BY THE LAST MAILS.
BOSTON, Dec. 7.
The following important paragraph is copied from the Richmond Enquirer, the editor of which says that it was communicated by Gen. Eaton:
Sir Wm. Scott pronounced nearly the following judgment on the Rovere, taken off Dunkirk by the Griffin cutter, from America to Antwerp:—"The cargo of this ship is colonial produce from Martinique, and although landed in America, and without doubt belonging to some subject of that nation, and duties were paid thereon, as on articles imported into that country; also, afterwards reshipped from thence to the port of a belligerent power in Europe. I shall hold the continuity of the original shipment, to be so fully preserved, that the mere chicane of the neutral shall not avail in saving him from the sentence of confiscation on ship and cargo."
SALEM, Dec. 6.
Report of an Action between the FRENCH & AUSTRIANS.
THE ship Messenger, Capt. Buffington, in 45 days from Amsterdam, arrived here on Friday last. By Mr. John Forrester, supercargo, we have the following report:—"That before he failed he was in company with an English gentleman who translated from a Dutch paper, that the army of the Emperor had met with the Austrian army, and that an action ensued in which the Austrians sustained the loss of 30,000 men taken prisoners, besides killed and wounded."

The following vote came down from the Hon. Senate for concurrence.
In Senate, Dec. 5, 1805.
Voted, That the committee appointed to procure Chaplains, be requested to inform his Excellency the Governor and the Hon. Council, that prayers will be attended this day at half past nine o'clock, in the Representatives' Chamber, and at the same hour of the day, and at the same place during the remainder of the session.
Voted, That Messrs. Gilman, Dinsmore and Cuts, with such as the Senate may join, be a committee to consider the petition of George B. Dennett, praying for a divorce, and report thereon.
Several other petitions were presented, and committees chosen.
The Hon. Senate and House being met in the Representatives' Chamber, His Excellency the Governor (escorted by the committee) came in and made the following communications to the Legislature:
Gentlemen of the Senate, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives, I AM happy in meeting and having an opportunity of congratulating you at this time on the continuance of the prosperity of our country; that peace has been preserved; that the dispute with Tripoli has been honorably and advantageously settled by the United States, and our citizens released from Captivity.
This leisure season of the year will afford us an opportunity of applying our united attention not only to the ordinary business of our Government, but also to consider on what may be further done for the benefit of the State.
The last session of the Legislature having been held at a time, ill suited to complete the public business that was before them, of course such as remained unfinished, will be taken up the present session. This inconvenience in the conducting of our public concerns will continue until the State shall think it proper to alter the constitution, so as to have but one stated session of the Legislature annually, which might be held at a season of the year, when the public affairs of the State would be better attended to, and some thousands of dollars saved.
The great agricultural interest of the State should claim our first attention; every encouragement in our power should be given to promote this most beneficial of all employments; as on it depend our commerce, manufactures, and the support of life.
Our Constitution has made it the duty of the Legislature to encourage and promote literature and the sciences, which are the foundation of all well regulated societies.
As the natural and best defence of our Country depends on our militia, of course your attention will be drawn to its proper organization and arming.—I am highly gratified in communicating to the Legislature the great zeal and dexterity, which have been shown by the Generals and other officers throughout the State by their prompt attention to the orders, that have been given; and the readiness of the citizens in turning out at their late general muster agreeably to law, so highly honorable to themselves and to the service.
When we consider the dignified station of the officer who commands independent freemen, and the exalted ground the citizen soldier takes when he appears with arms in his hands, ready not only to defend his own life, liberty, property and family, but also our common country; it must give us

high ideas of a well regulated militia, the best security (under Divine protection) of our freedom and independence.
The great expense, incurred on muster days by officers for the necessary refreshment to their men, operates as a considerable tax on them, and no small discouragement to the service. It seems just and proper that some general uniform measures should be taken to relieve them from this burden: where the fines for non-attendance are found insufficient to defray the reasonable expenses, the town to which the company belongs, might be called upon for the balance.
Some of the acts, lately passed for forming new regiments, have not, explicitly attached them to any particular brigade; this should be remedied.
Upon examination it is found that the acts of the Legislature for several years past have not been recorded. It is of importance to the State that the recording of them should be restored and continued, so that the original laws may not be hazarded merely on file in the Secretary's office.
The Constitution requires that all the public acts should be printed immediately after every session of the Legislature; should not some further directions be given in what manner this is to be done, and whether the private or corporation acts are to be printed in the same way?
Measures should be taken to collect the military stores belonging to the public, and such parts of them, as are not wanted, might be disposed of for the benefit of the State, before any further loss is incurred. Such cannon or other stores, as will suit the United States for the use of the fortification at our harbor, might be disposed of for that purpose.
The State of the treasury was laid before you the last session; the increasing expenses of Government and the decrease of our funds by the annual deduction on our stock, will naturally call your attention to this subject, and it will no doubt receive that determination, which the public exigencies may require.
Considerable sums of money are called for by towns for the maintenance of State paupers. The acts, passed for this purpose, directs the Judges of the courts of common pleas to examine and allow all such accounts as to them shall appear just and certify the same; their certificate being presented to the Governor and Council; it is directed that an order shall issue for the payment of the amount. Though no doubt every attention has been paid by the justices of the courts to this business; yet from the complexion of some of the accounts, it appears probable that impositions may have been taken place. It seems therefore necessary, that some further measures should be taken to prevent the passing of improper accounts; as large sums of money are drawn out of the treasury annually for this purpose.
I have thought it my duty to mention the foregoing subjects for your consideration; trusting they will appear of sufficient importance to merit your attention.
I shall be always ready to concur in every measure that shall be thought for the security and advantage of our fellow Citizens.
John Langdon. Portsmouth, December 4, 1805.
Voted, That Messrs. Cuts, Steele, Wilson, Heald, White and Lovejoy, be a committee to draft an answer to his Excellency's address, and lay the same before this House.
Several committees were chosen, to take into consideration the various subjects suggested in his Excellency's communication.
A press of advertisements must apologize for not taking further extracts from the journals this week.

At Concord, on Monday the 25th ult. Mrs. ELIZABETH CARRIGAIN, aged 55 years, wife of Doct. Philip C. There are few that have been blessed with a higher share of the esteem and respect of those that have known them, than the deceased possessed of those who formed the circle of her friends and acquaintance, and few have been taken away whose loss has been more sincerely regretted. She fulfilled all the duties of the most affectionate of Wives and Mothers, and the whole tenor of her life displayed a just example of usefulness and virtue. She saw her last hour under that belt of all possible consolations, the conscientiousness of a life well spent, and in the well founded hopes through Faith in the Redeemer of a blessed immortality.
In Kennebec, Mr. JONATHAN BODIN, aged 30. The flag on which he was standing at the stern of a vessel broke, and caused his instant death—in him undeviating integrity and inflexible honor have lost a favorite follower—passing a temper which none of the unfortunate incidents of life could ruffle—a deportment so dignified, that it always commanded, and so mild that ever won respect. These qualities were rendered useful to society by his persevering industry, and singular ingenuity—such virtues gave him friends, who will long cherish his memory with renewed delight.—nor is it extravagant to say, that he has left not an enemy to tread lightly over the sod that covers him—where shall the aged father of so promising a son find consolation?—in that religion, the principles of which the deceased eminently practiced—in this Holy Author—who never wounds, but for wife purposes.

Miscellaneous Repository. THE VICTIM OF SEDUCTION.
The rough wind whistles o'er the plain, The storm descends with floods of rain, The thunder rolls, the lightnings glare, And sable clouds obscure the air.
When on the heath a female form Stood, unprotected from the storm: Her tatter'd clothes were drench'd with rain, And deep her bosom throb'd with pain.
Her looks were sad, her cheeks were pale, Her matted locks flow'd in the gale; Her streaming eyes, and scanty dress, Bespoke her misery and distress.
The piercing hail her bosom beat, And naked were her trembling feet; She closer wrapt her ragged cloak, And thus in broken accents spoke:
"Cast off, insulted, doom'd to rove, The victim of ungenerous love, Of hope bereft, my prospects dear, My broken heart no friend to cheer."
"O! Henry, could'st thou see me now, How would'st thou mourn thy broken vow!"
"Repentance sure would cure thy heart, For acting such a faithless part."
"For well thou know'st that by thy sway My simple heart was led astray; Twas thou who forc'd me thus to roam, And leave my doting parents' home."
"Perhaps, 'en now, with gestures wild, They mourn their hapless, guilty child; Perhaps—Oh, dreadful, cruel thought! Pue to the grave my parents brought!"
"But see—the storm drives fast away, And soon will shine the morning ray; But ne'er shall I that morning see; For clos'd in death my eyes will be."
Beneath yon yew tree's gloomy shade, Neglected lies the hapless maid; With none to weep her early doom, Or deck with flowers her lonely tomb!
