COME, LESEIA dear'
Let's live and love,
And bliss ecstatic prcic,
Nor heed th' envious rake
Of hoary babbling Age
A thousand, thousand kisses•give—
For thee, my Fair ! alone I live :
While circled in thy arms I rest,
Or to thy balmy lips am prest,
Ear, far, is every fear ! -
Consider life :

I-low soon 'tis tied !

How soon we rest among the dead
Refulgent, see the Morning Sun,
His circled course is'qUickly run I -
Each Morn he rises as before,'
But, ah ! we die to live no•more.
;Since Life is then of short delay,
To love let's dedicate the day,
And banish hateful strife.

LoVe can the savage breast disarm,

And ev'ry ruder passion calm-.:
Love-drives the Coward to -the field,

And wakes the Hero cpti'l this shield :

The Tragedy of Zara introduced.lliss SMITH -as
the heroine of the Piece last night at Cov.ent-garden
Theatre. She performed the part throughout with
delicacy, feeling, and dignity. Maite'r EETTY re-
sumed the part of Osman, which is rather out of
his line, with considerable success.' CHARLES KEM-
BEE'S Nerestan, is a very-animated and interesting
Performance. MURRAY took the part of Lusignan,
vacant by the retirement of HARoRAVE, and dis-
played the parental sorrows of the venerable Mo-
Larch with more:than his usual effe6f. The'llay is
itionotonous ard heavy, though there are.: sothe
. splendid passage's and strong touches of pasSion.
