THE MARRIAGE OF IGNORANCE.

BY RICHARD wEsrALL, ESQ. R. A.
When Ignorance, on her leaden throne,
Sat calm, and joyless, and alone,
W rapt in the web of sloth;
No thought inform'd her sullen breast,
No vice disturb'd her gloomy rest,
No virtue woke her wrath.

A t length a fiend had power to move
The dark uncultured mass to love
(Already near allied),
'Twas he who came, like Science, dress'd
In starry crown, and storied vest ;
'Twas unrelenting Pride.

• No more content or calm she sate,
But rous'd to ation by her mate,
Wide o'er the world they fly •
Wherc'er their mingled venom spreads,
The young Arts hide their lovely heads,
And Taste and Genius die.

In vain the sacred sons of soul •
Would soar beyond their proud controul,
And grasp their wreath of fame;
Soon as the perte6.l works appear,
Their envious howl the monsters rear,
And blast the rising name.
