[From COLLET'S Relics' of Literature.]
THE HOUSES Or STUA RT AND HANOVER.
I love with all my heart The Tory party here,
The Hanoverian part, Most hateful do appear ;
And for that settlement I ever have deny'd
My conscience gives Consent, To be on James's side.
Most righteous is the cause To fight for such a King
To fight for George's laws, Will England's ruin bring.
It is my mind and heart, In this opinion I
Tho' none will take my part, Resolve to live and die.
(Lowdown MSS. 862.)

ELEGIAC STANZAS.
I wander'd when the shadows fen,
• Till darkness brooded o'er the deep ;
Anti thoughts of her I lov'd so well
Caine oer me—but I could not weep.
The night was silent as the grave—
-1 thought of her. who slumber'd there;
Of her 1 would have died to save—,
The young, the beautiful, the fair.
I could not weep a single tear,—
The wave of ocean roll'd below,
And evil thoughts were gathering near—
But oh, thank God ! it was not so.
1 wept not still—but when the light
Was kindled on the beacon-tower,
And stream'd on ocean through the night,
I felt an influence from the hour.
My better feelings, that had slept,
Gush`d, like the water from the rock
When Israel's leader smote—l wept
Such tears as can the heart unlock.
They were not tears of bitterness,
But such as contrite spirits shed;
For thus Religion comes to bless
The darken'd hour, when hope is fled.
I wept—but they were tears of balm,
And soon was felt throughout my frame
A blessed, 'and a holy calm
And call'd I then upon his name.
" Oh God ! be thou the mourner's stay,
" My refuge on life's troubled sea;
" Thy word the light that guards my way,
" To ber I love, to Heaven and Thee.'
