I neglected to the
beginning of his Morning Piece, which is uniformlYbeintiftil :
and the description -of Labour, must be considered as one of
those happy efforte, which are unfortunately too rarely found.

At the age of 13, Smart addressed an Ode to Ethelinda on
her wearing some of his verses in her bosom ; it breathes
'throughout the sprightliness and warmth of Anacreon, and_
affords an early proof of the writer's uncommon poetical genius.
The, first verse is below, and the idea it contains is chastely
expressed--
!hll vents ! that were prest
In fair Ethelincla'a breast
Happy Muse, that didat embrace
The sweet, the heavtely, fragrant place !
Tell me, is the omen true,
Shall the. bard arrive there too ?
Of Smart's Ode for Music on St. Cecilia's Day, it may be
fearlessly said, that it is inferior only to l)ryden's, and that it
is elevated throughout : After such writers us Dryden and Pope,
ehusing this subject was a daring attempt ; how far he has suc-
ceeded, the following quotations must. determine. I regret that
I am obliged to confine myself to part of the " Invocation to
Angels," to join in the praise of St. Cecilia; and to his descrip.
lion of the power of music, over the passions, in promoting
courage, and military virtue.
From your lyre-enchanted tow're,
Yet:fluidally mystic men,

Inaudible to mortal ears,
While each orb in :Ether swims

Spirits of harmony and love
Thou too, divine Urania, deign t'appear
And with thy sweetly solemn lute
To the grant argument the numbers suit.

Wake, wake, the kettle-drum, prolong

While harmony terrific maid !

• The sword, 'the target, and the lance.
She wields, and as she moves, exhales the Pyrrhic dance.
Trembles the earth, resound the skies—

With thunder in her voice and lightning in her eyes.
The gallant warriors engage
With inextinguishable rage,
And hearts une hill'd with fear
Fame nurnbera all the chosen bands
Full in the front flair vict'ry stands,
And triumph crowns the rear.
I shall here conclude my observations, not that the subject As. any means exhausted ; I have pointed out but few of the
beauties which abound in Smart's works), and would with plea-
sure continue my remarks in another letter, were I not fearful
of being thought tedious.
I have endeavoured to obtain for the poet the consideration to
which I know that he is entitled ; If I have been successfhl my
object is etudised ; If I have failed in my attempt, ( shall sin-
cerely regret it, but it will not alter my opinion of the poet's
merit ; as I am satisfied that the failure must be solely attribut-
