POETRY.

On receiving It-LETTER. qcaled with the Illotto-.." FORGET
THEE? 1\o!" •
Forget thee ? no !—Oh motto sweet
To meet thy Albert's ravish'd eye
This faithful heart in tumults beat,
Thrill'd with joy-~then breathl a sigh.
Forget thee ? no I—Seraphic sound,
Is Albert to her bosom dear,
Does the heart of Evelyn bound, •
Responsive to her Albert's tow ?
Forget thee? no !—Can absent maid
Yield a Inver sweeter pleasure,
Sweeter than the'hope conveyed
By that little worded treasure.
Should Evelyn doubt her Albert's love,
Or fear his heart could faithless grow.
Ilis truth—his constane to prove,
•
He'd thus return—" Forget thee ?—No!"
Forget thee ? no !—Thou cherub sweet!
When Albert's sours estranged from thee
May heaven's direst vengeance meet
And blast him for his perfidy !
