POETRY.

[The following LlNts are said to be the production of a well-
known Nobleman now abroad.
If I forsake thee, early be my tomb,
My bed untended, and unwept my doom ; -
Around my grave let no fresh_ verdure spring,
No plaintive bird within its precincts sing ;
Lot no fair flower adorn my turfy bed,
No violets spring, no roses lift the head;
But there let weeds and noxious nightshade thrive—
There only what to life is fvtal, live:
So shall mankind avoid the hated place,
shunned and detested by the brutal race— -
All but the shrieking owl and bat obscene,
Shall fly the relics of a thing so mean.
But if—as Heaven it witness such shall be—
Death only can divorce my heart from thee;
If this fond breast shall heave its parting sigh,
Loth only, as 'tis leaving thee, to die;
Then let affection diop the pious tear, •
The tribute sacred to the heart sincere;
Let not the gaudy poi ps of seeming woe
The paltry debt that pride. to pride may owe ;
Let—whilst surviving summers still are thine—
Let all thy thoughts, thy tenderest thoughts, be mine.;
And when, thy peaceful course fulfilled !1•1 this,
Thy fate shall call thee to the world of bliss,
•
In one sepultdiral mansion let u; rest,
By the same simple grassy tomb comprest ;
Let mingling urns our mutual loves requite,
And death, which parted once—once more unite.
