ADDRVIS ON Tilt OPENING OF DrJRY-LANt

THEA'fft.

warm EN BY. LORD RYVON. •

f)ne dread night our city saw, and sighed,.
1-lowed to thei.du4' the Dm raa'stower of pride
(me short tour beheld the ;,I=l-7ing fare, ,
Apollo sink, and SiLkii.:3l,FAii,-; cease to reign.
who,beheld, oh sight; adtoired and mourned; -
1171'a:se radiance mocked•the ....ilia itadorned?
Through clonds of li,e, the riven;
Like Israel's pillar, chase the night I,:opa heaven,
• Saw lii long colunifi of reviilvin4 dailies •
. Shake-its red shadow o'er the startled Thames, -- .
While thousands;thrtinged around theburning drone;
Shrank back ap pal i ; rind :a-cull:lra for their home ;'
. As!4lareti the voluinned blaze, and ghastly shone
,The withslightnin„:,s awful as their own;
blackening ashes-and the lodely
Usurped the Muse's realm, and marked her fall
Say—shall this' new nor less ai?iring.pile,
Reared, where once -rose the mightiest in our isle, •
Know the stone favour Vihlick the former knew,
A shrine ar SllAKSPEaßE—worth'y him and you
Yes—it shall 1;e--4-tie niagic'of that nit ne
Detics the scythe of tone, the torch of dame,
On the same spot still consecrates the scene,
And bids the Drama be where she, hatb
This fabric's birth attests the potent; spell,
Indulge our honest pride, and say, Hew ziell!
As soars this Pane to emulate the last,
Might we draw our omens frotn the pest,
Some hour. yropitious to cur prayers,.may boaSt
ISames such is hallOW still tie dome 'we lust.
On Drury first yoUr St On3oti thrilling art
O'erwhelnaed the gentlest, stormed the sternest heart ;
On DrUry, GAnaica's latest laurels grew ;
litre your last.tears retiring Koscius drew,
Sigh'd his fast thankr,: and wept his last ader
But still for living wit the wreaths may bloom
That only waste their odours o'er the tomb,
Such 1-,,rury chtith'ed and claims,--nor you refuse
One tribute to revive his -slumbering muse,
Withgactlands deck youy own MENANDER'S bead !
ibeard'your honours idly for the dead •
Dear are the days which made our 9.nzrals bright,
En:GARRICK fled Or BRIN4LEY Ceased to
Heirs to their labours, like :dl high-born heirs,
Vain of out ancestry as they of theirs.
'While thus Remembrance borrows BangnO'S glasi
To claim the sceptre& shadows they pa s,
And we the mirror hold, where itnaged'shiale -
immortal names, embla:oned on our. hoe
Pause--ere their feebler offspring you condemn;
hetiect how had the taqlz,to rival then)!
Friends of the Stageto whom Players_and Plays
'Most sue alike for pardon, or fur praise,.
Whose judging voice and eye alone direct •
The boundless power to cnerisli or reject,
It e'er frivolity has led to fame, ' •
- And made .us olusti that you forbore to blame,
If e'er the sinking stage could condeicend
To soothe the-sjchly taste it dare nut mend,
• -
All past reproach may.present scenes refine,
And censure, wisely loud, be justly mute I— •
Oh! since your fiat stamps the Drama's laws
Forbear to mock us with mi3plaied ap2lause
S 5 pride shall:doubly nerve the actor's powers
And reason's voice be echo'd back by onrs !
This greeting o'er, the ancient rule obey'd, .
The Drama's homage by her herald paid,
Receive our welcome too,---whose every tune
Springs front nor hearts and fain would win yolir own'.
The curtaiik rises—may our soge onfold
Scenes not anwort,iy Drury's days of old !
Britons our judges, nature fur our g
Still may we please, king—lung may yaw preside.
