POETRY.

SONG.
If thou could'st know what 'tis to weep,
To weep unpitied and alone—
The live-long night, whilst others sleep,
Silent and mournful watch to keep,
Thou would'st not do what I have done.
If thou could'st know what 'tis to smile,
To smile, whilst scorned by every one—
To hide, by many an artful wile,
A heart that knows more grief than guile;
Thou wculd'st not do what I have done.
And, oh ! if thou could'st think how drear,
When friends are changed, and health is gone,
The world would to thine eyes appear,
If thou, like me, to none wen dear,
Thou would'st not do what I have done.

A LITTLE SONG,
Sung by Mr. TAYLOR, at the loyal Gardens, Vauxhall, at
the Juvenile Fke, Saturday, July 13.

Tune—" All among the leaves
‘so green, 0 !"
Johnny Dryden, who was wise,
Says, " That tho' of larger size,
Alen are nothing more than boys,
Fond of fun, and game, and toys,"
And if Master Dryden's right,
What jolly boys to-night
We may hope in this fanciful scene, 0 !
Coach and boat—all afloat,
Dandy lads—Mams and Dads
Hey down, ho down, (Jerry derry down,
To embellish this fanciful scene, 0 !
Then if men are boys, we guess
Grown up ladies can't be less
Than pretty missey maids,
Come to lend their little aids
To our Lilliputian Fete,
Where we boast of nothing great,
But our wish to make merry the scene, 0 !
For each miss—Lots of bliss,
• For each boy—Lumps of jcy,
Hey down, &c.

In our little bill of fare
You'll find little but what's rare ;
To meet your little hopes,
Little boys on little ropes,
Little songs and little sights
Little suppers, little lights,
All to fill up this fanciful scene, 0 !
Little belles—Littl, beaux,
Little swells--Little shows,
Hey down, &c.
Once more read our little bill,
And your little hearts will thrill
At—but speaking by the card,
The word's a little hard,
II eptaplassy—What d'ye call?
Which ne'er stands still at all,
But keeps moving around this gay scene, 0 !
Pillars, trees—Turn with ease,
Water flows—There it goes,
Hey down, &c.
Then, by peeping through a glass,
Every little lad or lass
Takes a trip to France or Spain,
And to Greenwich back again ;
Or each master with his miss,
May become a little Swiss,
All to fill up this fanciful scene, 0 !
Magic Clock—time to mock,
Fantoccinis—little scenies,
Hey down, &c.
Next your little steps advance,
Little Theatre from France,
With Eidophustic Art,
Will delight each little heart;
Round his picture next you sing,
God save our noble King,
All to fill up this fanciful scene, 0 !
Chandelier—bright and clear,
Magic fountain—sparking mounting,
Hey down, &c.

Ere our little folks retire,
They must see a little fire;
Where every little joke
Gives a bounce and ends in smoke ;
And little rocket flights
Make little star-light nights,
To embellish this fanciful scene, 0 !
Little Pop—rise and drop,
Fiery Bowers—brilliant showers,
Hey down, &c.
Now, for fear my little song
Prove a little bit too long,
I'll conclude it with big thanks
To all our little ranks ;
And assure this little crowd,
That we're not a little proud,
Of the honour they've paid this gay scene, 0 !
Little maids—love these shades,
Little men—come again,
Do, pray, each day, patronise our plan,
And support this, our Lilliput scene, 0 !
Hey down, &c.

.ADDISON AND THE SPECTATOR.—Addison's contribu-
tions to the Spectator are ascertained on the best authority.
The principal writers of that admirable work are distinguished
by signature letters; and much has been said of those adopted
by Addison, because they form the name of the muse Clio :
" When panting Virtue her last efforts made,
You brought your Clio to the virgin's aid."
But, we must remark, that it does not seem very pro-
bable that Addison would pay this compliment to his
own papers ; and, indeed, it has been conjectured by the best
informed, that his signatures refer to the places in which he
happened to writc,—C, Chelsea, Iy London, I, Islington, and
0, his office.
