AN ELIGIBLE SEAT FOR IRON & OTHER WATER-WORKS.
The undersigned, from his experience in Iron and other water-works, is induced to believe that the mouth of Little river, in Christian county, forms the most eligible seat he has seen:—First, on account of the largeness and constancy of the stream—Secondly, the security of the seat, as the dam may be founded on, and abutted against rocks through its whole length—Thirdly, navigation, which is practicable at all times to the wharves of the different works—Fourthly, the plenitude and quality of the Ore, there being ten or twelve banks of different kinds convenient to the seat—Fifthly, the abundance and suitability of timber for the works or ship building—Sixthly, the suitability of the surrounding country for the production of wheat, which, independent of the advantages of boating it down the Cumberland from Tennessee, would render a merchant mill valuable. Considerable work is already done at this seat, but as it admits of more extensive objects than the undertaker is able to embrace, he wishes to form a connection capable of prosecuting it into vigorous and extensive operation.
The terms will be advantageous, and can be known by an interchange of letters on the subject, with any gentlemen who may choose to adventure, after which the seat can be viewed, and a contract confirmed if thought advisable. EDWARD RUMSEY. Christn. cty. K. July 10, 1806.

Lexington WARM & COLD BATHS.
THE public are respectfully informed, that I have, at considerable expense, in addition to my former Baths, (on a permanent spring on my premises) erected three new Bathing Houses, one of which is solely set apart for the Ladies' use.
The use of Baths, warm and cold, were so general with the ancients, and particularly in warm climates, and the advantages to be derived from them, not only to persons in health as a luxury, but also in various acute diseases, where exorcising pain has been relieved, and sudden death often prevented, by the use of the warm bath alone; as well as the advantages to be derived both to children and persons of mature age, from the use of one or the other, as the faculty may think adapted to their case, will, the subscriber trusts, ensure the countenance and support of the citizens and others to the accommodation he hopes his baths may afford. Himself and attendants, will, from day-break 'til nine at night, wait on gentlemen; and careful female servants are provided to attend at all times on such ladies as may be pleased to encourage the attempt he has made to add to their convenience and comfort. G. A. WEBER.
N. B. Dr. Buchanan, in England, and Count Rumford, a native of our own country, with numerous other writers of eminence, have so fully set forth the advantages of Warm and Cold bathing, that the reading of their works, it is presumed, will be amply sufficient to ensure the success of the undertaking, for the expenses incurred in the present undertaking.
Persons may pay each time of bathing, or engage for the season. Lexington, 3d June, 1806.

MARQUIS DE CASA YRUJO. [The ensuing letters, which were handed us last evening, have a strong claim to the attention, not only of our readers, but every citizen of the United States. Notwithstanding the dishonorable treatment which major Jackson experienced is fresh in our recollection, and the numerous little intrigues with which the public prints have charged the representative of the king of Spain, we did not imagine that the marquis de Casa Yrujo could be so destitute of every sense of honor as to be capable of making a proposal so infamous as that contained in his letter to col. Smith's friend. The reply of col. S. is such as might have been expected from a gentleman whose high sense of honor is paramount to every other consideration.]
To the editor of the Daily Advertiser. The following is a letter received from a valuable friend, with my answer thereto, which you will be good enough to give a place in your paper. W. S. SMITH.
PHILADELPHIA, 28th June, 1806.
Sir, I have just received from Carracas a list of the names of the Americans taken by the Spaniards on board of Miranda's Schooners. The name of Smith is twice found in it. I suspect the last to be the son of colonel Smith, and grandson of Mr. Adams. Although I had some political differences with him when he was president, this circumstance has not deprived me of that particular regard and respect towards such a distinguished character, and particular consideration for his family. Not the least doubt exists but the greatest part of the prisoners will be put to death as pirates, and I would be very happy to be able, by a timely and immediate interference, to save the life of the unfortunate youth, grandson to the venerable Mr. Adams and his worthy spouse. But, to render my intercession effectual, I would require as the only condition, that colonel Smith would disclose to me, through you, on his word of honor, all the knowledge he has of Miranda's plans, of his intended points of attack, of the persons with whom he had connections in Carracas, and of the name of the Spaniard in this country, who shared in his scheme and expedition; in fact, all the material information he may be possessed of, the knowledge of which may be useful to my government, and for the preservation and the tranquility of the provinces Miranda had in view to revolutionize.
As I remember your attachment for Mr. Adams, I take the liberty to make this suggestion to you, who no doubt will employ all the means to relieve from affliction a worthy and disconsolate family. At all events, I expect from you a prompt and decisive answer on this head. I remain, sir, with particular regard and consideration, your obedient servant.
(Signed) MARQUIS DE CASA YRUJO.
NEW YORK, June 30, 1806.
DEAR SIR, Accept of my warmest acknowledgment for your very interesting communication of this date, presented by your son, accompanied with the letter addressed to you from the marquis De Casa Yrujo, which after maturely considering I return agreeable to your request.
I am sure I shall do justice to the feelings of Mr. and Mrs. Adams, if in their name I thank the marquis for his very polite attentions in a case, no doubt, near, interesting and affecting. I am sure, when I do him the justice to communicate his tender solicitudes for the protection of their grandson, it will not fail of exciting those sensibilities and acknowledgments, which from them the marquis is highly entitled to.
For myself, not having the honor of his acquaintance, I had no right to expect any other attention to feelings or dignity of character, than what would naturally spring from his own mind when making so interesting a communication.
He informs me, he has just received from Carracas a list of the names of Americans taken by the Spaniards on board of Miranda's Schooners, that the name of Smith is twice mentioned in it, he suspects the last to be my son and grandson to Mr. Adams, and says, that he should be very happy by a timely and immediate interference to save the life of the unfortunate youth, grandson to the venerable Mr. Adams and his worthy spouse; he having no doubt but the greatest part of the Americans will be put to death. But, to render the intercession effectual, he requires as the only condition, that I disclose to him, through you, on my word of honor, all the knowledge I have of Miranda's plans of his intended points of attack, of the persons with whom he has connections in Carracas, and the names of the Spaniards in this country who shared in his schemes and expedition, in fact all the material information I may be possessed of, the knowledge of
which may be useful to the Spanish government for the preservation and tranquility of the provinces Miranda has in view to revolutionize.
When the marquis De Casa Yrujo takes a dispassionate view of the circumstances connected with general Miranda's visit to Washington, his subsequent conduct here, and clearly ascertains that the persons accompanying him in the Leander, were not informed of his projects and plans, he will permit his benevolence to expand and shelter all those taken in the Schooners, from harsh treatment and unmerited punishment, he will induce the government of his country to view the question in other lights than those which may tend to expose it to more severe animadversions than have hitherto been made, or to the routing of that spirit of indignation and resentment, which if once permitted to burst forth, cannot fail of being attended with strong marks of just revenge.
With respect to my son, he was not made acquainted with the plans of general Miranda, he went with him as a young companion, to share his fortunes and his fate,—he was accompanied by some of his friends capable of deeds of hardihood and valour—worthy their leader—worthy his cause.
Whatever may be the situation and fate of the persons taken on board the Schooners, I can never tacitly sanction the lair of tyranny on his associates, and snatch my son from a participation in their fate whatever it may be. Nothing but the marquis's want of acquaintance with me, can plead in excuse for the inadvertency of his propositions. Do me the favour my friend to assure him, that were I in my son's situation I would not comply with his proposals to save myself, and I would not cast so great an indignity upon my son, my family and myself, as to shelter him under the shield of infamy and disgrace. I have no doubt the marquis will give such advice to the governor of Carracas, and make such a statement to his king, (by whom I may have the honor to be personally recollected) as will induce them not to tarnish the dignified character of the Spanish nation by any acts of passion and barbarity connected with the present case.
I am, dear sir, With great respect, Your obt. friend, and Humble servant, W. S. SMITH.
FROM THE WESTERN WORLD.
The Kentucky Spanish Association, Blount's Conspiracy, and General Miranda's Expedition. [CONTINUED.]
A principal wish with the conspirators was, to have subject to their control, as large a portion as possible of the Congress lands in the Western Territories. The consequences of this policy are manifest. By being proprietors of large tracts, they were enabled to make choice of settlers; to prohibit the establishment of those men that were unfriendly to their designs, and in short, to be lords of the soil, even without the aid of a foreign power. We have stated already one company, viz. The Ohio Land Company; many of the members of which, were actuated with these views, and in league with the Kentucky Spanish Conspirators. But the leading company of this species, originated with General Jonathan Dayton, the intimate friend and correspondent of Wilkinson, John Brown and Aaron Burr. A file of letters which was produced in the chancery court of New-York, in 1800, by Francis Child, defendant, in answer to a bill of complaint of Jonathan H. Lawrence, and Jonathan Dayton, tends to throw a considerable light upon the art and intrigue of Jonathan Dayton, the speaker of Congress in the Adams administration. In one of those letters to Mr. Childs, dated Philadelphia, 5th Feb. 1796, General Dayton lays, "A company has formed itself here, which will absorb 16 or 1800 land warrants, amounting to 160 or 180,000 acres. I have desired Mr. Meeker to sign in the name of J. H. Lawrence and Co. such number of shares as amount to 30,000 acres, payable in warrants. If you or he will to come in, it is so arranged, that you can come in for a part of the 30,000, after the plan of the Association and its objects are made known to you—Write to me by the next mail, and believe me your's with esteem. J. D."
In 1796, when the bill entitled "An act providing for the sale of the lands of the United States, in the territory North-West of the river Ohio, and above the mouth of Kentucky," was under consideration, General Dayton was particularly anxious for two reasons, that the section in the bill which provided for the admission of military war-
rants, should be as liberal as possible. Because Dayton was possessed of a number of warrants himself—
2d. By the admission of military warrants, without any limitation in payment, the lands would be much sooner settled. In a letter therefore, which he writes to Childs, dated 19th of April, 1796, there is the following paragraph:—"The section in the land-office bill, which provided for the admission of military warrants in a certain proportion, in payments, was, upon my suggesting that it would be more favourable and acceptable to the army, to have a part equal to the Wabash tract, appropriated for military rights, near the Sciota, struck out. There did not appear to be a single member opposed to give such a tract in lieu of the other plan, and the bill for locating military warrants, will be so amended. The disadvantages of the original plan were, that warrants could only be introduced in proportion as the land sold, for two dollars and upwards, and it could not be expected that in this way, more than one thousand warrants would be absorbed in any one year: as 600,000 acres was the largest quantity calculated to be sold annually at those prices, and the sixth part thereof would require 1000 warrants, or 100,000 acres. On the other plan, the whole number which any man possesses, may be located and realized in twelve months, and that on lands good and well situated. The contents of this letter are of such a nature, as render it improper to be seen by any except yourself; burn it, therefore, when you have perused it."
It was likewise ardently desired by the conspirators, that the British treaty should be carried into effect because it would tend directly to destroy the plan of Connolly, and consequently unite the inhabitants of Kentucky more in the project of Wilkinson. Whatever were the errors of this treaty, it certainly pointed out those limits to the British, which they could not with any plausible pretence transgress, and therefore gave a death blow to all their designs upon Kentucky. The conspirators knew the Federal interest was sufficient of itself to pass the treaty; and they accordingly assigned the protection of this favorite child of Mr. Jay, to the care of Jonathan Dayton. Mark, therefore, the language of Dayton, in a letter on this subject, dated the 19th of April, 1796:—
"Cannot the friends of Livingston, Havens, Hathorn, Van Cortland and Bayley, be induced to remonstrate seriously with them, against their opposition to making the proper provision for carrying the treaty into effect. Request Mr. Childs to make the attempt—he or his friends must know who have the greatest influence with those gentlemen, and they will, I am sure, respect much more the advice of their friends and supporters, immediately addressed to them personally, than that of a petition directed to the House of Representatives. But I do not mean to discourage the latter mode of declaring your sentiments; but I recommend the sending persons even into the districts of the members I have mentioned, in order to engage influential men to be active. There will be time to do this: for the discussions will probably be very lengthy; or if they are not, the first vote will not be so conclusive but that we may change, whenever a few will come over from the first majority. That majority is diminishing—three from Maryland, and the one from New-Jersey, who voted for Livingston's resolutions, will now vote for carrying the treaty into effect; two New-York members, and two or three are wavering, but are inclined to the Virginia side, if the stir that is making, does not shake their nerves. Tell Mr. Childs, they must be active, and appoint respectable committees, to correspond in all directions, excepting South of the Potomack. Keep up for a time, the spirit which is now fomenting, and all will yet be well."
We now arrive at the narration of a circumstance, in which, altho' we cannot produce the most satisfactory proof, of connection with the Spanish Association; yet, the corroborating incidents are so strong, as to merit notice, particularly when the transaction itself, has excited not only the curiosity of America, but of all Europe; we mean the demand of 50,000, sterling, which was made by Talleyrand, on the Envoys from the United States, viz. Charles Cotesworth Pinkney, John Marshall, and Elbridge Gerry, as a douceur for

the pocket of the French Directory and Ministers. It is well known, that previous to this embassy, Talleyrand had lived eighteen months or two years in the United States. The greater portion of his residence was in the city of New-York, and the greater part of his time when there, he spent alternately between the house of Col. Burr, at New-York, and Jonathan Dayton, of Elizabethtown, in New-Jersey. He made likewise several very considerable purchases of land in the Western territories, by the direction of Burr and Dayton, and we are authorised to say, kept up a close and intimate correspondence with Burr after he returned to France. He also informed Mr. Gerry, that the Directory were inclined to treat only with one Envoy; that he expected only one was to have been sent, and he was induced to believe this man would have been Col. Burr—that if Col. Burr had come to France, in place of the three Envoys, Marshall, Pinckney and Gerry, that all differences would have been adjusted. We have already stated the intimacy which has always existed between General Wilkinson, John Brown, Aaron Burr, and Jonathan Dayton; and that a compact of the most interesting nature, has been lately sealed between them. When we reflect on these circumstances, and on the correspondence between Talleyrand and Burr, at the very period when Talleyrand and our Envoys were negotiating; we think that very little doubt can be entertained, but the door contemplated for the French Directory, would have gone into the pockets of Talleyrand, and his brother associates in America. Jonathan Dayton would have endeavoured to close the eyes of the Federalists, as to the transaction; while Aaron Burr, doubtless would have worked the same magic upon the Republicans. Mr. Volney probably was acquainted and impressed with the same views as the conspirators. In the book which he has published, the greater part of it is exclusively devoted to the Western territories. Whenever he speaks of them, he expresses himself as speaking of a country entirely separate and distinct from the Atlantic States, and says, that Nature never intended the two to be connected together. But the Frenchman in this country, who was most intimately acquainted with the designs of the Kentucky Spanish Association, and of the land speculators of Dayton, is a Mr. Chevalier, of the city of Richmond, Va. The artful, secret, and intriguing mind of Chevalier, the agent of the House of Bourbon, is well known by all who have had an opportunity of knowing the character of this gentleman. Let the reader therefore recollect one of the conversations which passed between Mr. Y. (Bellamy) and the three American Envoys. Mr. Y. stated, "that the State of Virginia owed to Mr. Beaumarchais 145,000. sterling, and he (Beaumarchais) consented to lose 45,000. of it, provided he got the other 100,000. and the gratuity of 50,000. sterling, was given to Talleyrand." Let him also keep in memory, that Capt. J*** F*** R***, the domestic partner and agent of General Wilkinson, was every summer in Richmond, and on habits of intimacy with Chevalier.—What inference will he then draw? Not certainly that Chevalier and Captain J*** F*** R*** were entirely ignorant of the proposal made by Talleyrand, and the purposes to which the money if obtained, would have been applied. For it is to be presumed, that Chevalier was acquainted with the principal secrets of the House of which he was the sole agent in America; as likewise, that Beaumarchais had agreed to the proposal before it was suggested to the Envoys by Mr. Y. the confidant of Talleyrand. It is also reasonable to be supposed, when Talleyrand asserted, that if Col. Burr had been sent with full powers, all differences would have been adjusted; that Col. Burr and Talleyrand in their correspondence, had already agreed upon the preliminaries on which they were to treat; and that Jonathan Dayton, Wilkinson and Co. the confidants of Col. Burr, were informed of these preliminaries, and gave directions to their respective agents and correspondents to act accordingly.

LEXINGTON, AUGUST 5.
Reports having circulated, that in Virginia the drought has been greater than in Kentucky, and that the prospects for crops were more gloomy than ever known, it is with great pleasure we insert the following, which goes to contradict such reports: Extract of a letter from a gentleman of the first respectability at the Bowling Green, Virginia, to his friend in this county, dated July 7. "Corn is 12 to 14s. Flour 8 1-2 to 9 dollars. Wheat starting at 7s. 6d. The present crop abundant—and the growing crop of corn very promising, except in a few instances, where worn has appeared."
"Departed this life on Monday, the 28th of July, Mr. James Hutchinson, of Scott county, in the 66th year of his age, of a kind of bilious cholick, which had troubled him at times for more than 30 years. His remains were interred the next day at 1 o'clock, in Col. Collins's grave yard, to which place he was followed by a large concourse of his neighbours, by whom he was much respected. His family is left to lament the loss of a kind and friendly parent."
COMMUNICATIONS.
"Birds of a feather flock together." No one will be surprised on finding that the apostate editor of the Ohio Herald has espoused the cause of Wood, when it is understood that he formerly edited a violent federal paper at Georgetown, in the district of Columbia.
Was Wood's name so despicable that Street would not publicly avow an association with him? or was the name of the firm intended to keep out of view the triumvirate which still keeps behind the curtain.
'No Federalism—no Burrism'—says the Western World. But Mr. Strait, a guid democrat, is endeavouring to create the former, by uniting with Wood to give the Federalists a lift.'

POSTSCRIPT. By the brig Jane, capt. Smith, from Bordeaux in 30 days, Paris papers to the 7th June, are received at the office of the New-York Gazette. With the exception of the following, they contain nothing new:
PARIS, June 6. Yesterday at noon, his majesty the emperor gave a solemn audience to the ambassador of the Sublime Port and of Holland also to the members of the extraordinary commission sent by the Batavian government.
His imperial highness prince Louis came also in great style to the palace of the Thuilleries. The ambassador from the Sublime Porte has delivered to the emperor and empress the presents which his highness was charged to offer to their majesties. They consist of, to the emperor, white horses richly caparisoned; and for the empress, a casket of jewelry. It is believed that his imperial highness prince Louis will set out for Holland early next week.
LATEST.
The schooner Nimrod, Manning, 6 days from Halifax, arrived at the quarantine ground last evening, and brings a Halifax paper of the 7th July, containing London news to the 8th June, brought to Halifax by the British packet Princess Mary, capt. Pococke, in 25 days from Falmouth.
The following are the leading articles
HALLIFAX July 8.
Sailed since our last, his Majesty's ships Tartar, Driver, and Indian. His Majesty's brig Nimble, for England, with dispatches and a mail. Passengers, general Wetherall and family.
His majesty's ship Ville de Millan, vice admiral the honorable G. C. Berkeley, captain Sir Robert Lawrie, passed Falmouth on the 3d of June, with the ship Heroine, under her convoy for this place.
A squadron of six sail of the line, two frigates and two brigs, under Sir J. B. Warren sailed from Portsmouth June 4—destined, as is said, for an expedition to the West Indies.
Lord Melville's trial was ended; but the result not publicly known. A letter received at Falmouth, mentioned that he was acquitted by a majority of 66 to 44.
LONDON, May 31.
Government, after having the own great tardiness in publishing the royal order for granting letters of marque against the navigation of Prussia and Pappenbourg, is equally slow in the executing that order, and in maintaining it to its utmost extent. This order, agreed to on the 14th of this month by his majesty in council, and published on the 20th in the London Gazette, was not sent until yesterday by the court of vice admiralty, to be carried into execution. Besides, before this definitive dispatch, it has been very materially modified by another royal order, agreed to by his majesty in council, on the 21st of this month, and published in the Gazette of the 28th. This second order, which bears the title of "An additional, to the act of the 14th May," makes an important and remarkable change, by reserving for the navigation of the Baltic, and to the commerce carried on there, the same liberty which England has to the present time allowed to that navigation and commerce. The following is the tenor of the additional act.
GEORGE R.
Additional instructions to the commanders of all ships of war and privateers, that have or may have letters of marque. Given at our court at St. James's, the 21st day of May, 1806, in the 46th year of our reign.
Whereas we have ever been desirous to prevent interruption being given to the trade and commerce of every state in amity with us, as far as was compatible with the necessary operations of war; and whereas it will tend very much to that purpose, that the trade and navigation of the Baltic should for the present remain uninterrupted; we have, therefore, been pleased to resolve, that our ships of war, privateers, and all other vessels acting under our commission, shall be restrained from making prizes of, stopping, or detaining, any ships or vessels within the Baltic; and we do hereby strictly charge and enjoin the commanders of our ships of war, and the commanders of all ships and vessels having letters of marque and reprisal, that they do not, by virtue of their commissions, or under color thereof, stop or detain any ship or vessel in the Baltic, for the purpose of making a prize of the same, but that they suffer such ships and vessels as they shall meet in those seas, to proceed in their respective voyages without any interruption. By his Majesty's command, (Signed) SPENCER.
June 3.
By the last accounts received from North America, we find, that our frigates which cruise off Sandy Hook, have again given cause of serious complaint [alluding to the Leander and Cambraim in the murder of Pierce.] We still doubt the correctness of all the reports which are published in the American papers. We are in the meanwhile extremely anxious to learn what has really passed, as every Englishman must feel particularly interested, where the true honor of his country is at stake, and the report which has reached us of the murder of Pierce is but too well calculated to justify the serious complaints which have of late been made by foreign nations, against the conduct of our cruisers.
LONDON, May 26.
It is at length positively determined that Lord Harrington shall go to Ireland as commander in chief, for which country his lordship will shortly depart, attended by his staff. Though not finally settled, it is strongly believed, that Lord Cathcart will take the command in Scotland.
HOUSE OF COMMONS, MAY 23.
Thanks to the managers of the Impeachment.
The Secretary of War rose, and moved, "That the Thanks of this House be given to those Members who were appointed Managers of the Impeachment of Lord Viscount Melville, for their faithful management of the trust reposed in them."
The question was put, and was carried with one dissentient voice:
The Speaker then rose to return Thanks to the managers, who rose also; he addressed them to the following effect: "Gentlemen,—This House has upon the result of so great and important an enquiry respecting the administration of the expenditure of the public money, come to a resolution to enter upon the most grave and solemn of all its functions, and resort to its prerogative of Impeachment against Henry Lord Viscount Melville. It is the power of Impeachment which has enabled the Commons of this country, at all times, to lay open the misdeeds of the highest servants of the Crown, and to prevent or punish all inroads which may be made
upon the liberty of the subject of this realm. In the prosecution of this impeachment, the House has appointed you to prepare and arrange the proofs of the complicated transactions on which their charges were grounded. Their charges were against a noble person, whose rank and high consideration in the state must hold him forth as a signal example either of good or of evil. Throughout the progress of this trial, they have witnessed, with peculiar satisfaction, your great attention and dispatch, which had rescued the trial from the disgrace to which it had fallen, and restored to its former strength and honor. They have witnessed in you an unwearied diligence in the discharge of the trust committed to you, a singular sagacity in discovering the proofs, a boldness which so properly belongs to the Commons of the united kingdom; a strength of argument, and a power of eloquence, which threw the light of day upon dark, secret, and criminal transactions. The final issue of this transaction now remains for another body.—It is before one of the highest of human tribunals: it is the house of lords which is to determine ultimately the condemnation or acquittal of the person accused.—Be done your duty. You have satisfied the expectations that the house had formed of you, and you have deserved their approbation and their thanks. I am ordered by the house to communicate to you the approbation and thanks of the house for the faithful management of the trust reposed in you."
The Secretary at war then said, that although he had the pain of hearing one dissenting voice to this vote of thanks, he hoped he should hear none to the motion that the speaker be requested to print the speech which he had just made to the managers of the impeachment." This motion was carried nem. con.

We do, in pursuance of his Majesty's pleasure, signified to us as aforesaid, hereby require and direct you to seize or destroy all ships or vessels belonging to Prussia, and to the town of Pappenbourg, which you may be able to fall in with, save and except any ships or vessels, to which his Majesty's licence has been granted, or which have been directed to be released from the embargo accordingly, and to give the like directions to all the officers employed under your command."

Some naval experiments have recently been ordered by the Danish government, to take place at Copenhagen.
Letters from Lisbon state, that on the 19th of April, a treaty, by which the neutrality of Portugal was guaranteed, was signed at Madrid, between the Plenipotentiaries of France and Portugal. The latter, no doubt, has been under the necessity of purchasing the forbearance of the enemy at a high rate; but any pecuniary sacrifice was to be preferred to the visitations of a French army.

were got away before the Prussians took possession of that country, arrived at the Bank of England.

"TO SOAR ALOFT ON FANCY'S WING."  ORIGINAL.  ANACREON'S 16th ODE.  THE COMPANION:
Next, Artist, mix with love and awe Bath, lily young and blooming draw; Let sunny light around him glow, Piercing his raven ringlets thro', Curls, floating freely unconfined No officious gems must bind. Bring rosy twines of lucid beams Blent with snow-white milky streams For his fair front, spread o'er the whole Refuge, beaming from his soul. Sweetly clear and warm and dark, His archly speaking eyebrows mark Above, beneath, place young desire Blent with awful martial fire. Stream liquid tinctures o'er his cheeks Like the apple's golden streak, Like the purest virgin's flame When love first thrills her tender frame. Bring the blooms that bees might sip, To form his love-resembling lip, Rosy smiles with honey fraught, Prepared to give some glowing thought. His neck with pearly splendour trace In all the lineaments of grace: Bright as Love's when beam'd with joy Touch his soul-conversing eye! Then, with wild fancy's flow of line His shoulder's shadowy grace design; Softly thro' the glistening snow There the warm blood too must glow! Let Bacchus form his manly breast, Leda's bright son shall give rest. By all celestial art inspires, Now breathe each trait with young desires; Which win, beyond the minds controul The wondrous gazer's eye and soul. Next, with pearly tinctures sweet Form with gliding touch his feet, But stop! The Delphian Archer view, If like the God, the picture's true: And see, immortal artist see! How well the mimic forms agree: The honour bright and glory's thine, But all the glowing God is mine.
