POETRY.

I hate Chit man 'boae prirnd enntronl,
Grasps hrtfthe globe, and taints the whole;
Whose thousands, in tremendous mum h,
trer climes that freeze, mad climes that parch,
Spread Desolation's horrid reign,
And glory% the nutolnr slain!
I hate that matt who.-e life ilk
(Inc low:, ciniptaittii his kind ;
Win, like a sun, siihl; only ruse,
To wale the world nom in. ret repose.;
Aid, like that sun, the In ighter groan,
Dal ker I he shadow it rash. on!
Him do I hate, in alum we sea
Pow'r, fortune, tAleut, tyranny !
0 great Napoleon ! is it meet,
That, to preserve thy noxious state,
Nation,' should fall ? Must every day
See kings and Isingdonts melt away,
That then may'st reign? Bright Freedom too,
And sweet ltelibinu, must they bow
Then pause, exult not ; nide must own,
Such means bnt weakly a throne.
That, which to stand, :oust crush auanklnd,Z
Will soon u certain ruin find,
In the resistance ottke mind.
