POETRY

FOR THE SUN.

CAMBRIDGE PRIZE POEM.
Mr. Printer, it seemeth to me very %Id
ThaThis Bier all the Cantabs shou'd sigh by,
That a man who deserted his Country and God
Should be held up a pattern to di* by •.

In the time of old Balaam not such was the cry,

For the Heathens knew better than this,
since lie pray'd, He the death of the righteous might die,
And the end of his days be like his.

PROPRIETY.

• He died as all would wish to die.

STANZAS
On Landing at M.suo ATE Pun, the first scene of a tender but
misplaced affection after an absence of tire years.
BY CATIMIN OF ca.trrita.
Sweet scene, when, blooming in the loveliest glow
That wins the feeling heart, my Mary dear
Seemed like a Seraph,—but, her heart was snow—
How chang'd am I, or alter'd you appear !
Here, first she taught me to imagine bliss
In all the fancies raptur'd lovers know—
Here first my arm she took, in playfulness
And here I felt Love's purest, noblest, throe.
Oh, ye who smile at Love—and think it nought
But affectation; or, dull interest's slave—
Glide to your graves insensate !--hapless fraught
The fittest vessels for oblivion's wall s.
t.
Unfeeling crew, my muse nor ertri2t4,ll3latres.
Nor owes ye aught-11.3.-qt .puls by love red
Whose gentle sympathy sbe`fondly claims,
For I too own ft kind and feeliiig Mind !
Daughters of goodness, 'tis on you I eall—
And on the youths who feel your tender power_--
. Oh, ne'er may youraffecdons taste the gall •
• Which poisoned Love's expanding lovely flow'r.
Know then, I loVed-:.my lore was form'd on high—
Pure as in Heaven I held it on the earth—
Though 'twas misplaced—an angel from the sky
The maiden seem'd who called the virtue forth.
Humble I was and am—yst high my soul
Exalted stood in Love's and Honour's page;
Her mother's doubts a world could not controul— •
Doubt's victim, Love cannot my pains osuage. -
If then 1 view the scene of former joy,
With heart-felt sormw and a tearful eye
Your hearts will feel my hapless destiny,
Love's sighs and tears are registered on high.
