SON N ET.

I hear thee speak, Illy speech my soul entrancing,
I sit, all ear, to hear thy voice alone 7
I see theealance, so graceful is thy dancing,
I wish thee still to dance, and neer have (tone ;
I read thy verses, where my swift eye glancing,
F it one grace !oat, finds every grace in one;
Each art before the other art advancing,.
That each for each I change, yet none -for none:
Thy music, pictures, gardens, all invite me
To 01Y11 thy skill in every, art contest;
And sineethy beauty, love, and youth excite me
To :,ress thee; nearer to my throbbing breast,
As one in all, let all in one delight me,
" Aid the last joy be dearer than the rest."

Aire shall select another Poem, written in a dif-
ferent b-cause it is applicable to the pre-
se►;t a►►d way be ►leemedl a proper tribute
to the herues uf the day.,

Crown%of nak Ind laurel bring,' .
Strew with oronching palm the ways,
Tune your h:lrps svaiphoolous, sing
Songs of triumph, songs of praise.
Hail the chiefs, the patriots hail, -
Who their foes in arms assail
And their.native land to free,
Welcome death or victory.

Who to fill the cup ule chair?

The rest of Mr. LEFTLEY'S productions possess
merit enough•to excitd regiet,that he did not live
to•enjoy a,bappier fortune; in which case, as he
Was animated by an ardent desire of poetical fame,
Ise might haVe 'raised his name in literary annals;
and have. afforded much gratification to the ad-
mirers of Poetry. •
Ti.e Second part of this. Worli consists of pro-
ductions highly creditable to the taste and talents
of their Author, Mr. LINLEY.• 'Their were .Ifrit-'
ten, as stated,- in India, and during a voyage to
that country, and on his return to Englhnd.—
The first Poem is entitled OUTWARD Botimr. and
the Jgust, UnimEwaap. BOUND.. They are of a de-
scriptive character,, in which are strong marks•of
tendernes and air ardent susceptibility of the
chars of natural scenery ; particularly of thd
glowing graces which Mark the climate of India,

as well as of tile evils whiclr attend it. The whole

is- evidently the production of an amiable, mind,
evinced, not 0..1y in eq:,sentiments which breathe
through the whole, but in the temper of the Au-
thOr, which induced him to resign a lucrative si-
tuation in India, in order to enjoy the pleastfre of
resid lig in his native country, in the bosom of
incodship, with moderate-independence, and an
uhbroken constitution. We have only room at
present for the following speciMen ofnis poetical
talenri, which we extract from what the Anchor
entitles :MONTHLY SKETCHES, • ,
