THE 1111'6'S BIRTH DAY.

DUBLIN, APRIL 49.
At four o'clock hie Excellency held a Levee at
the Castle of Dublin,
Jo the evening there wan a grand ball and sapper
at the Cottle, when the following Ode, the music
composed by Sir John Stevenson, was perforated:

RECITATIVE.
Where'r the Son his tide of glary rolls
And light and life conveys to *WOK Pelee;
While arts, rind arms, and commerce
In war triumphant, and in peace serene;
These ever dear to 'oilier and to Fame,
Protected millions Weis Britannia's same.
AIR AND QUARTETTE.
Now is the morning of the verbal year,
When green clad bill and vale is gay,
And ensiling April, gem'd with orient tear,
Leads on the blooming Rowers of May!
Light hearts are bounding at the tooth of Spying,
Aud childhood weaves the primrose wreath,
The mated birds in Love's own cadence slog,
The gale a thousand odours breathe,
0! this is the sweet Spring time.
801.0 HASA.
Thiele the season, sure the kindliest this
When hearts alive to Nature's cause,
Tu wake the languid soul to sense of Wise,
And make it owls her sacred laws.
Now list while laughing Joy sod rural Sport,
Renew their gambols on the green.
And from the lowly cottage to the Court,
Their festive pleasures rule the sprightly setae-
, U ! this is the sweet sprits' time.
RECITATIVE.
Not such the strain which many a year
Had rung the knell origami and brave;
While shunts of joy and shrieks of fear,
Led the victim to his grave—

When Bruuswick'e star iiiampbant rase,
To give the world a brighter day,
And deathless Fame a lustre throws,
Ou George's bright auspicious sway!

QUARTIITTIC AND CHORDS.
Strike the harp of Erin's Isle,
Let the note all tare beguile,
Strike the harp and pour the lay,
Mail to our Monarch's sate[ day !

RECITATIVE.
Now strike again the trembling lyre.
And wake the full learmouic choir.
SO 1.0. ctioaus, &c.
Happy in our Alloaareh's sway
Amid every good that Freedom knows.
Let song and merry dance this day,
Win every moment as it goes.
No clued. of dreaded sorrow,
Darken sow our hopes of morrow !
Britannia's smite: dispels the gloom,
Add brightens all our days to come.
Solo—Hail! all hail! to Great Georges Day,
Chorus—Hail! all Hail! to his happy sway.
