POETRY.
When hiaeed•alc to:ering soul,
To wield the sceptre of supreme command.
Above all social compaa's mild contralti,
Attack'd, with lawless arms, Athenia's • land
A name, which e'er excites the despot's bate,
The sage's triumph, and the patriot's tear,
Demosthenes, upheld the tott`ring state,
And stemm'd, with Rellsoll.s arms, his mad career'
Fair truth, with manly eloquence combiu'd,
His words invested with her purest dye :
The orator, by interest unconntid,
Deserves the passing tribute of a sigh !
Such once, now resting in the silent tomb,
Was F•ox, whose worth shall history's page adorn ;
His memory lives in Fame'a perennial bloom ;
We praise the hero, but the man we mourn!
