POETRY.

A SIMILE 'WRITTEN,IT MR. DUCK, WHO WAS IN LOVE.
WITH MISS DRAKE:.
• ( Frobt " The' Gleaner:")
Say, fair one, didst thou never see
• ('Tis but•bY • way of simile) '
Two creatures of the feather'd kind, •
Alike in body and in mind ;
Now swimming up or down the same -
• Or muddy or pellucid stream ;
Now on the bank their brood among,
. Now waddling side by side along :
Together sleeping both and waking,
Together spent both and quacking ;
Partners alike of joy 'and fear,
For ever faithful, ever-dear.•
-Emblem of matrimonial life, • .
A picture true of man and wife :
How happy you and I could be,
To lead this waddling life=—agree.
Then change,thy name, forlieaven's sake !
Be-thou the'Ducx and I the DRAKE.
