ON IMMO AN ACCOUNT OP THI Nyman
C•USIID BY THE FAKIRS IN MILANO.

And is it thus with thee? Bright Em'eald
Mother of deathless heroes!—Can it be
That every glorious and triumphant smile
Is changed to tears--to bitter tears fur thee
Hu Jaeger on the field of martial fame
Thy children, full of glory, yield their b►eath:
Famine (talks forth, their ardent soul to tame,
Quenches their fire, and gives them up to death.
The pride of manhood droops ;—the eye eau pie
0.11 on scenes, trac'd by its own despair;
Than sick'ning tarns from all that it surveys;
Fur Ruin in her dreadful garb is there.
Here on the turf an aged father stands,
Implueing Death that comes to him too Isle:
There • young mother wrings her trembling bands
lu all the horror of approaching fate :

Cliagiog *rotted, with faint and dying moan,
Her famisted infants raise a feeble try;
She gazes on tient; feeloto• than alone,
Shores bet laid mile, and, shuddering, turns to die !
Aaielsd Merry! Why art shoo so slow
in *notching Virtue from the yawning grave !
Ca! ere she dies, thy pious aid bestow;
Oi ! mined with Heaven's mandate, come and save.
Wort wretched Erin! shall thy bright sun set
an the deep shadows of o'ervalselating fears ?
Shalt thine own native Shamrock wreath be wet

With Famine's baleful dew, and Misery's tears,
Forbid it every brave and noble heart !
Oh' fraught with Charity's owe holy seal;
Swift to a fintish'd race her aid impart,
Aod view their deep affliction, but to heal.
What blessed Form*, with bright, yet tearful eye,
Coates Erin's drooping head from earth to raise;
At her approach Death and his tenors Sy,
While Hope aspiring, sings of better days.
Mora lovely far, than in victories' leer,
Each British beset shall bail that Form Stelae;
And while a rescued people bless ber pow'r,
Exclaim, " My native England, thaw art Wu!"
• Britanoia.

Air•-" Fly ■ot ft"

Wks totters skies are fiord with red,
Aod fairest more with hasty tread
Upopriogo to ope H ' grade. gate,
And chose the liseriag stow that wait
To spy the blushiag dews;

IThile rays from Pbcebus' glowing enr
Gleam brightly on your rummest's hart
And pour o &rod of glorious light
To shame the slothful mos of Eight,

_
Oh haste—oh haste
To snatch the fresh and fleeting hour,
Ere noon has sipp'd each dewy flower
• That decks the spangled lawn.
Oh shake off slumber's drowsy spell,
]n moraine* pleasant haunts to dwell;
And haste to join the (emitted throng,
That greet "be dawn with choral wag,
. Or skylark's earlier lay:
With aweless footsteps freely rove
tree annoy plain, or leafy grove,
While new-mown bay its sweets bestowing,
Fetfunirs the air Ibsen freshly blowing;
Ok haste—oh baste
To meet the bee on homy wise
O'er opening flowerets hovering,
And watch the squirrel's pkg.
To taste the gifts of earth and air,
That l'buibirs 6 beam will scaly
On newborn buds of every hoe
To trace the Vine, ing drops of dew,
The timid hare to spy,
• Who stealing forth, now hopes sues.
To banquet ow the humid green,
And oft, the while she fearless grazes,
• Admires her leveret's frolic mazes,
Oh haste—oh baste—
Joys like these will
But melt like minim, es mist away,
From day's too piercing eye.
