ADVICE TO A PAINTER.

Vain Artist, that couldat thus pourtray
The Queen or Love in wanton smiles,
Crowed will, Os gaudy wreaths of May,
And gemm'd with India's glowing spoilt.

That mien, that bold obtrusive form,
And eyes that dart lascivious fire,
May aim the deailen'd sense to warm,
But fright the doves of young Desire.
Bunk on a couch of woven snow,
In thought I view the Goddess laid,
Vndeck'd her lavish tresses flow,
Bee charms sot hid, nor quite ketray'd.
Through the thin lava now brighter steals
That hosom'alkill voluptuous pride,
How well that clinging web revalls.
The faultless form it strives to Wile.
And oh! those orbs of tender blue
In swimming languors rais'd on high,
Those lips, that melt in balmy dew,
And seem to waft the timid sigh,

Shall surely wound with truer aim
Than all the sprightly wanton's art,
Though forward charms ma/ ►µdefy /Wimp,
let these shall win uuconscioas bean.
Then come, my faithful lesson prove,
Coatrast kby tints in tender strife,
And let me see thy Queen of Lore
Not start but lasegaiak into life.

AN ANC/ENT BALLAD.

King Loris, idies.ikodeaat done,
To mothe his,Rolld. ear,
lat Bid them recite hisher's might,
As he dozed in his cha'r.
Thq Bards sang bow King PEPIN once,
And fifty thousand Alen,
With spear and bill, marched up a hill,
And then—marched down again.
"How now," quoth Louts, „say ye thus?
" Was that all he could do?
" One hundred I will merrily
" Lead o'er you mountain blue.
"And e'er ye see us down again,
" 11l pawn my Royal word,
" Well hare a ride no th'othor side,
" And let them taste our sword."
One hundred thousand men are there,
Beneath the mountaip blue,
Mustachios dressed, and lilies blessed,
And jackets good as new.
Now, when the gallant Cartes heard
His Mar nay's intent ;
4 .811. trod• they, roost civilly,
To good King Loto mat
"It ill becomes thee, Sire," (krna)
" To settle oar affair',
" Until your own unstable Throne
"Requires no more repairs.,
" Bali( you are resolved to see
"'le gay Bolero dime',
" And male again our kids of Snai',
" A sapnlehre for Prance;
" Well rouse a moping eagle, and
"Some shattered remnant, ADA

"We'll come, *Wilms 0/1/11illi,

r The King, as astral on the Sabbath, attended Dic;ne
Service this morning in the Palace Chapel. The Lord
Steward was in the same pew with his Majesty. :1::
elegant and impressive discourse was delivered from
the pulpit by the Dean of Hereford. A well-dressed
congregation, admitted by tickets, 61Ied the body of
the Chapel. The King, habited in blue, and wearing
a wall star, looked remarkably well.
On Friday evening an interesting throng of juve-
nile Nobility were made happy by an entertainment,
conaistiag of a ball and an elegant little supper, given
to them by their Sovereign, at the Palace. The bloom-
ing progenies of the Marquis and Marchioness of Bath,

with their parents, partook of it : and also were pre-
sent, the Earl of Bradford, the Earl of Uxbridge,
Lord W. Thynne, Lord W. Paulet, Sir A. Hume, Sir

King seemed much to enjoy the scene.
