LATE FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. (CONTINUED.)
LONDON, June 23.
Court of King's Bench, June 20.
CHALLENGE.
Mr. Erskine moved the court for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against Major Armstrong...
General Coote on this occasion was called upon, as one of those present, to give his testimony as to the transaction...
Lord Kenyon said, the general was perfectly right in what he had done. Mr. Erskine observed, that Gen. Coote swears he apprehends the contents of this letter conveys a challenge to fight a duel.
Lord Kenyon said, this letter most undoubtedly appears, on the first blush of it to be a libel and a challenge, unless the writer can otherwise explain it.
PROCLAMATION
By the right hon. Lord Keith, K. B. vice admiral of the Red and commander in chief of his Britannic Majesty's ships and vessels employed and to be employed in the Mediterranean.
Whereas the city of Genoa and both the Rivieras are recovered from the possession of the enemy, and I am inclined to embrace the earliest opportunity of enabling the wretched inhabitants to procure the necessary means of subsistence, with the least possible delay, by taking off the blockade, imposed by my several proclamations of the 5th of January, and the 8th and the 25th of March last.
By the right hon. Lord Keith, K. B. vice admiral of the Red and commander in chief of his Britannic Majesty's ships and vessels employed and to be employed in the Mediterranean. Whereas the city of Genoa and both the Rivieras are recovered from the possession of the enemy...

PRINCE CHARLES.
The following is a sketch of the picture of the Archduke Charles. His royal highness is of a middling size, slender and well made; his hair is thin and a flaxen colour; his forehead high, broad and beautifully arched; he has large blue eyes, an aquiline nose, pouting lips, a round well shaped chin and a fleshy colour.

Health-Office,
31st mo. 21st, 1800.
WHEREAS the Board of Health have received information that a contagious disease, dangerous to the community, now exists in NORFOLK, (Virginia,) and also the CITY OF BALTIMORE, being, as is represented to us, equally sickly.
Whereupon Resolved, with the assent and approbation of the Mayor, that all vessels from thence, bound to the Port of Philadelphia, bring too at the Lazaretto, to receive a visit from the Resident Physician, and there wait the determination of the Board.

IMPORTANT INDEED.
The weather continues cool: No yellow fever yet, and the city more healthy than in the winter: Every body is, or may be, employed in their different occupations. Last year, this time our city was, in part, deserted.
From a correspondent.
All infidels curse most heartily, by "twenty gods, or no god," the Author of "Serious considerations on the Election of a President," published by J. Furman. They view it as a bold and formidable attack upon Mr. Jefferson, their high priest.
ALEXANDRIA, (Virg.) August 19.
The captain of the Ranger, who with his crew (as has been already mentioned) were committed to gaol, was bailed last week, when he attempted to escape, but was apprehended and again put in prison.
New-York, August 13.
Captain Morrel, of the Schooner Felicity, arrived from the Isle of May at this port on the 6th inst. and states that he brought from that island a number of men belonging to the Ranger, who agree in their story, viz.
That the Ranger was a British privateer and owned in Gibraltar; that the captain was on shore at Savar, where the vessel lay, and that Elihu Merchant, being then first lieutenant, seized the opportunity to run away with her, and came to the Isle of May, where he obtained a cargo of salt and proceeded with the vessel, and part of the crew, to the United States.
CHARLESTON, August 17.
The American frigate Constitution, Capt. Talbot, anchored off our Bar the evening before last, from a cruise off St. Domingo; where she has been for the last fifteen months. Her cruise having ended, she is on her return to the northward.
The following information is handed to us by captain Parsons, of the Schooner Fox, from Cape François.
On the 15th July, the United States frigate Constitution, captain Talbot, put into Cape François, having sprung a leak. The next day general Moyle, the commandant, and his staff, dined on board the Constitution. On his arrival on board, a salute of 15 guns was fired, which was returned from the fort.
On the 22nd of July, the Constitution, on leaving the harbor, got a ground; assistance was afforded by the American captains on shore; she got off without receiving any material damage. This day the Constellation frigate, came in sight to take the station of the Constitution. On the 24th, put to sea, with eleven sail under the care of capt. Talbot.
Besides the Constellation, the sloop of war Trumbull, Jewett, the Herald, Russel, and the brig Augusta, M'Elroy, were left on the St. Domingo station.
On the 30th, an English ship came into the fleet, sent her boat on board the commodore, afterwards made sail and steered to the westward; we learnt from the commodore, that she was called the Andromache, from Halifax; she had with her an American ship which she had captured two days before, from India bound to New York. The pretence for taking her was, that she was last from the Isle of France, and had taken in part of her cargo there. They appeared to be standing for New-England. The captain of the English frigate requested the commodore to permit him to overhaul the fleet, but he would not permit it.
On the 6th instant we arrived at the Bar, where captain Talbot put on board of me his clerk, with dispatches for the navy agent, and two French gentlemen which were passengers on board the frigate.
Insurance on American vessels had fallen in London, a few days before capt. Morrison failed, from ten guineas to five; this is said to be occasioned by advices having been received from France of the differences between the American and French republics having been settled.
Houses to Let:

Master Duane, the worthy Editor of the Aurora, contends that the claim of birth within the United States, which was set up by his amiable friend, countryman, and fellow subject Thomas Nash, the pirate and murderer, ought to have been admitted by the courts of the United States, and he appears to be the more strenuous in his advocacy of that claim, as he and master Nash stand in precisely the same relation to this country, with regard to birth, in other respects, we consider Nash the least obnoxious.
There was no record of Nash's birth within the United States, nor could the shadow of proof be produced to support his allegation. The production of a Parish Register, or any other evidence, admissible in law, that William Duane, the infamous calumniator of Washington, was born within the United States, or within two thousand miles of their territory, would be equally impossible.
His Britannic Majesty's Consul General requested the Editors of the New-York Papers to give the following Resolutions of the Council of the Island of Jamaica, a place in their papers, he having received a mortification from his honor the lieut. Governor of that Island, that they had been adopted.
NEW-YORK, August 20 1800. In Council July 17, 1800.
Resolved, That his honor the Lieut. Governor be advised to recommend to the several officers of his Majesty's Customs at the several ports of this Island, to permit the free importations of sheep, hogs, poultry, small live stock of all kinds, salted and all other provisions, and lumber of every description, as well in British, as in all other vessels belonging to neutral and all other States in amity with Great Britain from the day of the date hereof until the 31st day of December next, and until 6 months notice shall be given to the contrary upon the like terms, charges, and conditions, and subject to the same rules, regulations, visitations and searches as are observed with respect to vessels importing provisions to this Island.
Resolved, that all neutral vessels importing the foregoing articles under authority of the above Resolution, be permitted to export rum and molasses from any port or ports, place or places within this island, upon the like terms, stipulations, charges and conditions as are observed with respect to British vessels in the like cases.
(Signed) M. ATKINSON, Clk. Council.
It is mentioned in some of the papers that the French frigate La Vengeance lately sunk in the harbour of Curraoo. We should like to know from what authority this circumstance is stated. Not long since cordage, &c. was sent from this port to re-fit her.
[The above is copied from the N. York Gazette, and, if true, is a shameful fact, and leaves a vast field for discussion as to the principle of furnishing an enemy with the means of carrying on the war against us.]
A Melancholy Accident.
On Tuesday, the 19th inst. about 6 o'clock in the evening, as Mr. William R. Phillips son of Mr. Ralph Phillips near Trenton, New Jersey, was returning home on horseback from a neighbour's his horse ran with him between the fence and a tree, which stood in the road, so near the tree as to strike it with his thigh and his head. His thigh and skull were both fractured by the violence of the blow, and he fell, almost lifeless, from his horse. He was taken up and carried into a house, where he died in about half an hour. Mr. Phillips was in the 22nd year of his age, amiable in his manners, and in every respect a promising member of society.
Death loves a shining mark, a single blow; A blow, which, while it excites alarms; And flattens thousands with a single fall.
[The following fact should silence all those who murmur against the Board of Health, for suspending the Intercourse with Baltimore.]
A letter from a gentleman in Baltimore, to his friend in this city, states, that, at Fells Point on Sunday last, there were 21 Deaths. The writer of the above has since lost a father.
A DUEL
Was fought at Hoback on Sunday morning by Mr. Jacob Abram's of N. York, and a M. Henry R. A. Demist; the first fire was without effect; the second Mr. D. received a slight wound in his right shoulder; after which Mr. D. made concessions; the party shook hands and returned to the city.
The cause of dispute was, Mr. D. used some rash expressions, touching the character of Mr. A's father.
Married last evening, by the Rev. Jacob J. Janeway, Mr. William W. Morse, one of the proprietors of the New-Haven Messenger, to the agreeable Miss Sally Hammet, of this city.

Ext ad of a letter from a gentleman in Nantes, to his friend in New-York, dated the 10th of June, 1800.
The negotiations are said to wear a very satisfactory appearance - it seems they have met with some delays, owing solely to the First Consul's absence. He is doing wonders in Italy and it is believed he will soon be master of that fine country, and will again command peace at their gates or perhaps in Vienna itself. The present government is greatly changed for the better - it has restored internal peace, and employs every means to have it with all the world. Property is respected, and we all enjoy a tranquility which has not been known for a long time.
For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES
To the Governor of the State of Pennsylvania.
SIR, THE man whose walk extends not beyond the limits of private life, by whose virtues Human Nature is not adorned, nor by whose vices degraded - whose conduct, if honorable, can but cheer the domestic circle, and if vicious, can but light the lamp of his own villainy - that man might glide down the current of life, unobserved, for his little bark is not laden with stores which can impoverish or augment the public stock. But when a man has launched on the political ocean in the vessel of State, and the peace and the prosperity of his country float in his train, the genius of social order, and the demon of discord will alike mark his career - the one with gentle gales will waft him onward to the harbor of honor, while the other will blow the blast of opposition, scud dy, and strong and loud; his vessel may be shattered in the storm, and the wealth of his country shipwrecked on the shores of anarchy, a prey to the harpies of a foreign land.
Sir, the portrait of your life has ever been marked with the same traits; inflexibility and vanity, in glowing colours shone forward in the piece, while oppression and tyranny lurked behind, visible only to the eyes to which the portrait was familiar. Artists of experience, and artists of taste have wisely judged that such a portrait should not be placed by the portraits of Jay and Ellsworth in the public Hall of State, but left to fill some useless niche, while others more splendid and more fair, were brought to view; yet while the sentry slumbered, it has been adorned with a borrowed frame, whose gaudy tinsel dazzled the "people's eyes," and it has been placed in a conspicuous station. Here then, let us analyse it; let us judge it; not by a contrast with those which hang around it; for it mocks all contrast.
The strong and the sure criterion by which to judge of man correctly, is the comparison of his professions with his conduct. Catiline and Cato, Sidney and Cromwell could alike speak music to the ear; the patriot can modulate his voice to the ears of the mob; but virtue alone is consistent; her professions are not at variance with her acts.
I will not recite the facility with which your tongue was tuned to the strain of opposition, when Britain passed the stamp act, nor the key which tuned it; I will not trace the vibrations of your mind 'till it was fettered by the fees of a collectorship; when the gold which propped it up was withdrawn by the royal order; I will not pursue 'till the dreams of popularity fixed it on the other extreme; I will not analyse the Judge; I will not examine the constitutionalism of 1780, nor the easy transition which interest could make to the federalist of 1788; I will not trace the feelings of pride and vanity and revenge; I will not explain the state of that mind which experienced neglect and contempt, when aspiring to a seat in the federal bench, nor point to its last vibration, where it was chained by the hydra of jacobinism. Here were a field in which I could more than speculate. The moralist might here sigh for the degradation of human nature, and the statesman, collect wisdom. No, Sir, when the spirit of ambition fades, and the dreams of popularity are fleeting and transitory, you will be judged by a monitor which hovers around the bed of the murder-

cried, deepens the gloom of futurity... of a nation which cannot be silenced by the authority of a governor, nor awed by the pomp and the power of a judge.
But Sir, I will mark you at your entrance on the duties of your present station; I will refer you to the official capability of your Secretary, which, however, coincided to well with your own ideas, that it was presented to the Senate as your own act. I will refer you to that declaration—it is fresh in your remembrance.
You commenced it by observing, that the affairs of the Senate affected you chiefly on account of its apparent departure from the dignity of a legislative body. You, Sir, affected by a departure from official dignity? When you dictated this plaintive appeal, did you ask yourself where was the dignity of the Senate when he inflicted the mayor of the city in the execution of his duty? When he deferred the remnant of his reputation and violated the constitution to advocate a horde of Irish miscreants!
You, Sir, affected by a departure from official dignity? Why was not that dignity defended by you? When Bryan insulted the legislature, where slumbered those feelings which were so alive to the departure from the dignity of a public body? Why was not Bryan dismissed? Sir, his conduct did not raise those feelings, for they had long been annihilated.
But you tell them their address was improper, because it was in answer to a declaration made by you, of your solicitude to promote the happiness of your constituents, and therefore they should have confined their declaration and spared their censures. Confided to your declaration? a declaration which had been substantiated by the dismissal of those officers, whose only crime was the exercise of their right of suffrage! Do not tell that you dismissed them for another cause. You knew, and I know that you asserted this to be the only cause for the removal of one of them, and why not of the rest?
I will not now discuss the truth of the charge which you had previously made, and in that answer reiterated, that the opponents of your election were "Tories," "Traitors," and "apostate whigs." That charge was made to a mob who were pleased with sounds. Neither will I advert to the flimsy shield under which you sheltered yourself for that charge; an assertion, that you were not governor when you advanced it, and therefore it was beyond the province of the Senate to censure. If you were Governor, the Senate, as guardians of the state should deprecate a line of conduct which hazarded its welfare. If you were not Governor; if it was not an official declaration, it was only another proof of that insolence and vanity which had characterised your conduct thro' life.
I will not wade through the "pomp of words" and display of sophistry with which you have clothed the ideas contained in the remainder of your address—neither will I discuss your doctrine of "rotation of office"—nor whether the dismissal of Federal characters who had officiated but a few months, and the re-appointment of republicans who had failed on the public funds for years, be an application of that doctrine—I will quote a few lines from your answer.
"In short, gentlemen, let my appointments be judged by an impartial test, and I flatter myself (you are fond of flattery, Sir) that I am rather entitled to the approbation with which the House of Representatives has honoured me in answer to the same address, than to the denunciation of a small majority of the Senate." The majority in the Senate was two to one; in the House of Representatives there was only a majority of two or three votes in favour of their address! You would then perceive that many of the commissions issued by my predecessor have been renewed, that if any veteran of the American war has been displaced after a long enjoyment of office, others of at least equal patriotism and talents have been brought from retirement into the public service, that so far from acting on the impulse of an indiscriminate resentment, many of my most decisive and influential opponents (name one, Sir) have been re-appointed, and that without any regard to any personal feeling I have selected, and shall always deem it my duty to select for public stations men who are tried and faithful friends to the genuine principles of republican institutions.
These are your professions. What has been your conduct?
Who are the men of "patriotism and talents" you have "brought from retirement into the public service"? Are they Brannon and Stever, and Beckley and Cox? Does republican-patriotism consist in the reviving of Washington? Does it consist in having guided the armies of Howe? Does the stealing of money from a neighbour's store, or, the concealment of a notorious thief constitute in your eyes the essence of patriotism? Is the appointment of children in consistency with the declaration that "without regard to personal feeling you had selected and would deem it always your duty to select the officers of the government, &c." Is the savage declaration that "you would teach a wife and family how to starve" a proof of your solicitude to promote the happiness of your constituents? Is it a proof that no personal feeling has been cherished in your mind?
Sir, your interested exertions as a Federalist in support of the new constitution fed your ambition and your vanity with the prospect of a seat on the Federal Bench. Washington knew you; he loved his country and therefore neglected you. Hence the source of your opposition. Candour may assign one motive for your conduct; self-love and vanity may present another; but they who have studied and they who know human nature, will be at a loss to comprehend
any other, save in that savage malignity of soul, which in viewing the wreck of its own reputation, toils at the ruin of its country, that no monument of its infamy may be left on record.

[The writer of the following letter is a Physician of talents and respectability in the State of New York.]
Copy of a letter from a physician in N. York to his correspondent in Philadelphia, relative to the Yellow Fever.
New York, August 16, 1800.
DEAR SIR, BEFORE this time the reports of our health-committee of two cases of fever will have reached you, and will serve to recall your attention to this melancholy subject. New York has been thus far proverbially healthy; and I may add, that we have experienced throughout the month of July, a greater degree of heat than in any former year since we have been visited with yellow fever, and it has been of much longer duration, as I have ascertained by a regular register of the weather. In addition to the heat, we have also had several showers of rain sufficient for the putrefaction of animal and vegetable substances. We have also had materials of this sort spread through the city in their ordinary quantity; the practice of burying the dead in the grave yards within the city has been continued; our ships and new made grounds have undergone no material alteration; our inhabitants are as numerous if not more so than in former years; they drink as much spirituous liquors; they are equally exposed in their pursuit of business to the direct rays of the sun; many of them lodge in the same small, confined dwellings; In a word, the same causes to which in former years the yellow fever had been ascribed, have existed, and as nearly as we can ascertain, under similar circumstances of operation. Still we have had no reports of yellow fever, until those published by our Health Committee. Nature appears in the present year thus far to have departed from her usual laws. If yellow fever be the product of filth and putrefaction, one of the fundamental axioms of philosophy must be untrue, and another Newton must appear, to demonstrate, that similar causes under similar circumstances, can produce opposite effects.
Until those reports appeared in our newspapers we were pleading ourselves with the prospect of exemption from this dreadful calamity. Joy appeared in every countenance: our merchants were elated with the healthy state of our city, and pleased with the hope that our commerce would have been uninterrupted: our markets were supplied with plenty; and the labouring class of our citizens, who have hitherto been obliged to fly from their dwellings by the ravages of fever, looked forward with the prospect of recovering in some degree their little property which had been expended by the distresses of former years; but although the alarm has gone abroad by the reports of our Health Committee—although we are told officially from the Health establishment at Staten-Island that four cases have occurred in the Marine Hospital; although those reports upon the first view of them appear to augur evil to our land; although it has been prophesied that pestilence is again to overspread our cities in the present year, I may still add that New-York has never been in a more healthy state at this season of the year than it is at the present time; and confiding in the unremitting exertions of our Health Officers at Staten-Island in preventing infected vessels and vessels from infected ports visiting our city, without undergoing the quarantine and cleaning enjoined by our new quarantine law, I trust we shall continue to enjoy the same exemption from Yellow Fever which we have thus far experienced except some solitary or sporadic cases which may arise from the relictum of the last year, agreeably to the well known principles which govern most epidemics, as illustrated by Sydenham, and many others of the most experienced practical writers. During the present summer I declare to you that I have not visited a single case of the yellow fever. The bilious remitting and intermitting fevers have appeared in different parts of our city, and in the neighbouring country; but I have not seen an instance marked with the characteristic symptoms of yellow fever; nor have I witnessed a fatal case of fever during the present summer, except a young man of the name of Engs, from Rhode-Island, to whom I was called in consultation with Doctor Birch (a physician who has lately come to our city, and promises to be an acquisition to it.) The disease of Mr. Engs I considered as the true typhus or putrid fever, but it exhibited a train of symptoms very different from those of the yellow fever. I make the same remark upon the case of fever stated in the first report by Dr. Tillary; and the second, with all due respect for the opinion of Dr. Tillary, I also consider of a very equivocal nature.

TWILIGHT MUSINGS.
I walk unseen On the dry smooth-shaven green, IL PENSIEROSO. RIGHT o'er the gilded tops of yonder trees The sun holds up his large circumference; While, from the deep green vale and wood, topt hills, A general burst of wild and various song Now charms him down to rest. Beneath these elms, I'll walk a while, and watch the soft approach Of deepening twilight—'Tis sacred to the mule, When the rapt place of fancy's rolling eye Spies moving forms in heaven's own colors dipp'd; Or, contemplation, on her cloud-girt throne, Emerging o'er the brow of forms tall grove, With ardent eye upturn'd, decries new worlds, Illum'd by other suns of elder beam; Or, kindling with devotion's holy flame, Ponders the world to come—Before her eye, Restor'd creation rises bright with joy, And, in her ravisht ear, swells the glad song Mesial reign.
first stage of intermitting and remitting fevers, and those fevers which are induced by cold. You will also notice, that in the more advanced period of his distemper, the discharges of vomiting were not changed from what they had been in the beginning; as Doctor Moore expresses it, "the sickness of the stomach still continued, every thing taken into the stomach being immediately thrown up again; but a little altered in its appearance;" these circumstances must render it at least a very doubtful case.
The second case reported by the Health Committee has not been described; but Dr. Tillary has stated that "he took his disease from excessive exercise, and by being wet to the skin, and remaining in that condition for some time." The Doctor adds, "he then laboured under all the worst symptoms of yellow fever." As the case has not been publicly described, I called upon Mrs. Tuttle, the mother of the lad, to learn some particulars of it; she stated to me, that his complaint began with head ache and chilliness; but no pains in his back and limbs; the first are more commonly the symptoms, as before remarked, of intermitting and remitting fevers, and such as arise from cold; of the latter I consider this case to be. Upon inquiring into the nature of the matter discharged by vomiting, she tells me, that it appeared like broken blood; she also added that he bled at the nose, and that she believed he swallowed a part of it, which was again thrown up by vomiting, and that he discharged a considerable quantity of blood by the bowels.
Bleeding at the nose, and discharges of blood from the stomach and bowels, are not infrequent occurrences in all fevers; especially such as are of an inflammatory nature, proceeding from cold; and more particularly in young subjects, whose vessels are generally distended and are more easily ruptured than in adults; You will remember, the patient was a lad between 7 and 8 years of age. I also enquired of Mrs. Tuttle what was the state of the skin, and if it was Yellow; She replied that it was not yellow, either before or after death, except two or three spots about his ears.
From this detail of circumstances occurring, in the two cases of fever, reported to be the yellow fever by our Health Committee, you will no doubt perceive that they were not decidedly marked cases of the yellow fever, agreeably to the description given of this disease, by some late practical writers.
Before I conclude, I cannot but remark the readiness with which the Health Committee publish their reports of the solitary fatal cases of fever which have this year come to their knowledge; contrasted with the reluctance they have uniformly manifested in former years, to publishing reports even a considerable length of time after the disease has been known to prevail. I am pleased with this change, as it will always give an opportunity for our citizens to fly from danger, whenever it may threaten them; and I sincerely hope that in every succeeding year the committee may continue to observe this rule of conduct; but as the medical gentleman of that Committee are of opinion that the yellow fever is precisely the bilious fever of our country, I cannot but fear, that agreeable to my perfect creed, we shall be unnecessarily alarmed with the reports of cases that threaten no danger beyond the individual who is the unfortunate subject of it, until our citizens are apprized that such is their opinion; in which case they will be guided in their conduct by the number of the sick, and the malignity which may characterize the disease; of which they will, no doubt, be informed by the reports of the Committee.
I am, Sir, with respect, Yours, &c.
"An attack of the remittent is generally preceded by indisposition, either from nausea and languor or slight head-ache and chilliness, or a rigor; and often a regular shivering shivers in the distemper; whereas the continued endemic (the yellow fever) commences from a state of apparent health, usually unattended by rigor or shivering." Lamphere's Diseases of Jamaica. Vol. 2, p. 66.
But, now, I see the mellow beams of light, Mild arching up the west, grow dim, and droop; While o'er the race of things, the shades of even, In soft succession, steal—There goes the bat Of devious wing, and ever and anon, In game-some mood, wheels down so near my ear, As snaps the golden threads in fancy's woof. Or startles into thought my vacant mind: Go, heedless thing! enjoy thy twilight hour; Cat-walk on circles in the air; for, now, No bird's awake, to mark thy harm elseport. But hark! the bird of night begins her song! Sweet minstrel of the eke! that lovt to tune, In deepest covert hid, thy shrill pipe. Once, I could talk with birds; and, then, would seek, With palpitating heart, thy dark retreat; And, as the night breeze stirr'd thy gloomy bough Behold the moon-beams play upon thy neck, And I remember well, thou oft didst come, With thy best notes, when weary nature slept, To guide my dreams, or hold my wakeful mind In mutual enchantment—All is still. While Venus, westerling slow, with mild look, Pours from her silver urn a trembling stream Of softest radiance; and the queen of night, Through long and narrow slits of feathery clouds, Comes dipping slow, till, in the broad expanse, She glides full, joyous in her even course.
How thoughtful is the scene at this mild hour! There seems a pause, while nature on her knees, Pays her orisons to the power supreme. That call'd her into being, supports her still, And paints her beauties with his holy light. Then man, the priest of nature, should attend, And, with his nobler powers, give utterance To the mute creation. And yet, how few, Find, in a scene like this, an altar dress, With incen't off'rings, grateful to the skies! The sons of guilty joys, that feed on bunks, And keep their thoughts in criminal desires, Are strangers to the sacred charm, that binds The tender mind to rural sight and sounds; Who feel it in the dance, that jolly leads, N'er bend the knee beneath this ample roof, Nor call a thought beyond the dubious mask, That ends this mortal race. In giddy rounds They merrily unwind life's feasty thread, Unmindful of its end. So have I seen The glittering insect, 'neath the ray of noon, O'er the smooth surface wheel his restless course, [Lyrism.]
At night, chill'd by the breeze, float down the Nor he, whose heart is fear'd with love of gold, Who gropes for bargains, down whose rigid cheek Ne'er tale-tale tear at light of deep distress. (The feeling tribute, which the poor man pays!) Whole bruising, outward gait, and plodding foot, Bespeak a heart, that never is at home, When want, or hapless merit, ask regard.
When Titan's car re-fills the noon tide blaze, And sultry stillness holds the tremulous air, Beneath those antique elms I'll stretch my length, And let the shadows of the mov'g boughs Chequer my face. I'll list' by the crowdy horn, Of busy bees, I'll lose all active thought, And let the shifting forms of nameless hue Paint their rich dies upon my fancy.
Ah! much I pry, those, whose noon tide hours Are worn away in some thick peopled town, When summer's reddening influence is the d O'er half the world. The breezy breath of morn, See long sweet odours from a thousand flowers, New-wantons round their brow. Nor dots, the lark, With dewy wing, uprizing to salute "The purpling east," their leading flumbers break. Perhaps, ev'n now, in some unheeded spot, With noxious airs and exhalations foul, The "yellow fever" falls feeds his infant growth, And soon his giant size will nightly walk Thro' peopled streets unseen; whose poisonous breath, Diffus'd, taints the pure region of the air, And scatters wide, thro' many a weary moon, Spotted contagion—Ah, what nameless needs! This viewless monster invites to execute! He joys to snap the cords, that tender hearts In strong affection bind. His Dorri' ear No noise soothes, but deep expiring groans. Let prayers of holy men ascend to heaven, That vengeance may be stay'd!
