should be most churlishly fastidious were we to
squabble over a goo.:, melodious, and heart.,-Pokea

we have merely enutnerwed the foregoing flaws as;

biassed. We cannot be indifferent, while we hoarsen
to such strains as this :
Wouldst thou know what the blithe bird pipet'',
High in the morning air?
Wouldst thou kno +V what the bright stream sielgetb'
Rippling o'er pebble, bare?
Wouldst thou know what the moon discourseth,
To the docile sea?
Wouldst thou hear the echoes of the music
Of the far infinity?
Sorrow shall ape the founts of knowledge,
And heaven shall sing to thee." - •
Cordially we commend this book to the publicl it
the effusion of a sincere poet, and of an unaffected
lover of the people.
