ORIGINAL POETRY.

LINES TO SHAIESPEARE.

Not oce, whoe'er haa borne & name,
Earned such a title to poetic fame- -
Hokls in our hemts • place so deer
As Btratford's herd, our sweet Bbekspeare;
Whose works are familiar to the mind
Of peasant, peer. sad all mankind.
Gems of the richest thoughts unfold;
Ohoiee as the diamond, pares, gold.
Well may we honour him, &Ulm his bones
Lie @leaving 'neigh the silent stones;
Glory in the thought that he
Was countryman with such as we;
Englend's pride! he bears the pram,
Despite store times' laming hand.
His mind still lives—the bard has gee* to rest,
Hie memory dear for ever will be blest.
