Ten NOW TRAGEDY OP MONTALTO."
OPENING SPEECH.
It should be day, and yet the limy anti
Still lingering is the East, midst lowering clouds
Hides his reluctant beagle, as los& is nob
Ten silver clement of its virgin brightness.
Plow beautiful and chaste the tender light
That hasp on all amend ! The garish Wet
Of midday moo, that clothes our Appesaines
In all the luxury of heavenly splendour,
Shows not so fair a scene In Fancy's eye,
As when these tremulous beams but half reveal
The lovely prodigality of Nature.
lIONTALTO TO HIS FRIEND.
If there be truth
In mac, it is in thee. In early youth
Thou welt my playfellow, mid in those sports
Which boybootl most delights in, thou didat hold
The same rough honesty thy riper age
Has never yet belied.

But who shall dare to judge the inwa►d wise ?
y wealth were bliss, who abould be blest as 1)
1f honour, whose a faire► claim to happiness?
if fame, wham deeds streaks louder thou Muuteltoli!
And in that lesser circle, is that haven
Of all our hopes and joys, even-iu my home,
Who Imams a lovelier uirspriwg?
Oaths are bat word., words bubbles,
That swell and buret th' rireuotambieut air,
Aud then are beard no more.

JULIA.
Come, my Lord—
Our ruddy boys have rot yet lisped their welcume;
The elder rogue lush caught the trick o' the times,
And tails of lilts and courtly tournaments,
Grasps bis light wand, mini courses round the elseither
With no mean mimicry of knightly bearing:
The younger urchin too.—.—but come, Montsltn•
Ell lead thee to their chamber.

Our diner
Grows wilh the lapse of time, a coward's brain
The teroviug mother is, and cowiCieuce stand■
To midwife to the thoughts that bode our ruin.
THE FRIEND TO ItIONTALTO.
If thus you dwell
On all • sickening spirit eau devise,
Doubt soon will ripen into certainty;
Suspicious seem as proof, and then be acted on
To blast your happiness for ever.
A mutual confidence
The essence is of love: the husband feels
Too much, if he of Ilynarres chain;
And sees too much, if he see ought but flowers
That Mud it round ; too loving, or too jealous
Duch wither these, and kare all bare and naked.

TO MR. ELLISTON.

As an admirer of English Opera, I take the liberty of sug-
gesting to you the opportunity you now have of giving the
public a revival of those favourite pieces, Lionel and Cla-
rissa, moil the Son in Late. The parts of Jessamig, and of
Signor Arionelli, so well supported in the last century by
Signora Seat i•i, will with (Neal justice be supported by Ma-
dame Vessels; and whilst Mr. Beals/uses engagement eyed-
nues, we hope to see him in she part of Lionel.
I remain, &e. Jce.
