BYRON.

[Fro= an ♦oerirao Paper]

Satan his harp to Byron gave,
And laid-0 Go sweep it well;
Tby throne, lbe murderer's reeking grave,
Thy t►eme, the feats of bell!
" The Place of Skulls thy house shall be,
Thy bed the couch of Shame;
Plunge in Pollotins's putrid mea—
ner, build thy hope of fame.
To Misery's chilli new misery add;
Tell him no pardon's given ;
Drive, drive she shuddering sinner mad,
Aod break his bold of h

4. Sweep, sweep the lyre to godless themes,
F..r Vice a chaplet twine;
Of horrors be thy waking dreams,
Of horrors that are sine.

" Of agonies in hell that rise;
Of darkness that is felt;
Of reeling worlds—of sood'ring
Of terrors yet misspelt!

" Dark be Ikr picture, let no light,
Not one dim ray Mew;
Dark, dark as MUM curling sight ;
As aeltdestroyer'a doom !

"1 kiss's hope, roan's peace, for ever mar ;
Eclipse Religion's sun;
Tread out Salvsiion's gulden star,
♦nd see thy work well done!"

He said—his Lordship took the lyre,
Mad swept the striuga along;
While Satan stole from heaven the fire.
Aod toned the godless song!

in his private chapel. His Majesty was acme..
peaied by the Duke of Cambridge, and was

btlityt admitted by tickets. The anxiety felt from
the late indisposition of the Sovereign occasioned
the admission tickets to be moat numerously applied
for yesterday ; to as many persons as the chapel
could be made to contain tickets were granted;
hut many. very many, of necessity had to brood
over disappointment. His Majesty's almost entire
recovery from the gout had been known for some

jesty's personal app►arance would exhibit the flare.
of his late illness, hut we were most agreeably 0..
ceived, fur, except that he looked somewhat paler,
we never saw him appear in better health.
The sermon was preached by Dr. Pearson. and
the prayers were read by Mr. Holmes.
About five o'clock the Duke of Cambridge,
