THE HUMBLE PETITION OF ARIEL, KING
SYLPHS.

CA. woman's gentle nature ere refuse,
When at her feel a captive Menuireb seer?
The suppliant King, who pens this trembling prayer,
Tbo' humbled now, was Ariel, King of Air,
One alto, when free to wing the heavenward light,
Ride on the breeze, or bask is brews of light,
Loed more with dusted shrinking sight to gaze,
Oa Beauty's eyes, than Sol's meridian rays;
Lov'd more the bloom o'er cheeks of Beauty spread,
Thar fragrant Syrian roses deepest red.

Yet, ere I tell how Fortune dealt the blow,
Let sorrowiag Illem'ry aid me to retrace
The changeful fort aims of oar hapless race;
Sylphs, Fays, or Fairies, bootee by many a name,
Theo' various climes—our forms, our kit the Jame
We bathe io dew, we lurk in greenwood bowers,
{Ve feed on odours from a tbousaud doyen;
Harmless and happy, still oar course was run,
Our only pery the air, the sky, the son;
Our fav'rite realm was Albiou's chalky shore,
Dear peaceful glades!—tho' lost belated the more;
There sti!t our feats supplied the tale of age,
Or shone more gin, iota through the usinstiel's page
Fur Bards and Beauties only lov'd the tale,
Of Puck careering in his golden mail.
Bet swains, for whims we lightesi'd every toil,
Reefed our Kings, and trod the spelhboaad soil;
'Till late when Science came, destructive sight,
And Retied ear harmless happy race to flight,
Through iroa mills her voice in thunder spoke,
From melting glass, her breath Marti in smoke!
—'Ti. not for man's gigantic ear to feel
The pangs we suffrr'd from the clattering wheel,
Each fiery eagi we's sward and gaseous breath
Offends his mightier lungs, to oars is death;
'Twas noise, 'twas awoke, kolas Glasgow's uorthera
Tu Bristol's steams, and Loodoes dingy spires,
Amsted we fled—we dee e'er matey a plain,
Prom Celiac's pillars to the Baltic main,
.------What boots it now to tell,
How hapless Ariel fled—.
Think not I meanly fled—with lurid arms,
Whets tall and vast exalted to the skies,
Ualtop'd retreat! I mark'd a I•Hp rise;
I phased for shelter is its caseate bed,
Rais'd my broad buckler o'er my crouehieg bead,
Amid thus wetted by massive walls defied
The harmless spears and threats of Gnomic pride.

Ab ! ne'er again thy tiny King will share
The joys of liberty, sod light, and air,
Nor bathe at Doonaide in some wreath), shell,
Nor dose recumbent is a gowret's bell.
Oh! place thy voluntary captive near,
Aod let his harp beguile thine idle ear;
Theirwhile the viewless minstrel's music deals,
Repay Ids airy strains with sweeter notes—
Those playful silv`ry tones which snit so well,
The lovely lips that form their coral cell!
Asti through my dungeon's erotism, let me see,
Each eye, each goal, iateusely bed on thee.
Now let me view the pomp of Beauty's reiga,
The adoration of delightful pain,
Which breathes no sound beyond the stifled sigh,
And only otters through the speaking e)e;
Now in secluded hours of rural ease,
Mark all thy will and all thy power to please:
While he who made that heart no longer free,
{Trapping his thoughts, his bliss, his mill, in thee,
Feels bow inadequate his love meet be,
Now watch, as bright as thee. But so—lwere vain,
'Twere wrong to ask a miracle again—
Watch infant beauties, fairest 'midst the fair,
With charm, bat less than what their mothers are.
Oh! deem not these the words of vaunting zeal,
Nor think that Fairies ne'er can learn to feel.
Fiction sad Fancy bid most numbers roll,
These breathe a captive Sylph's impassiou'd soul—
Breathe every vow that deep regard may claim,
A Sylph may surely age so fond a oame!
For pure the lore which airy spirits feel,
Which heaps the altar where they neer can kneel.
