%I Re EDITOR,-Your Readers will probably re-
, ghize the following paragraph as havingoccupied
"Ilicnons place in an article on " Mr. MORRIS.
the"ECK.s MACS on a 3onrney in America" in

"st Nomber of the Quarterly Review.

f:yViiit regard to Friend Nlorris, we understand
at.
at during the late war, he held the lease of a

reolietaPees to which the Reviewer alludes, on the

POETRY.

JUVENAL, SAT. XII. from Verse 81 to 95.

TO CORVINUS.

Go then attentively, my virtuous boys,
Calm be your minds, and bush'd be every voice;
Wreaths of sweet flow'rets for the shrines prepare,
Meal on your blades be plac'd with pious care !
Deck the soft hearths with every bud of spring,
And the green turf in all its freshness bring;
I'll follow, fill'd with reverence and delight,
• To offer to the Gods each sacred rite--
Then home returning, shining crowns shall grace
Each little waxen image in its place—
To our own Jove libations will I
pour, •
And scatter incense round the hallow'd
On Household Gods rich frankincense bestow,
And all the colours of the violet throw. •
Tall, verdant boughs around my gate shall twine,
And morning lamps in festive radiance shine—
All splendid, all complete.—Think not, my friend,
I meanly grasp at any selfish end—
Oh no, ConviNus.! He for whose return
My shrines are deck'd, for whom my altars burn,
Is good CATULLUS—He, whose bounty rears,
With tenderness, three little infant heirs,
Worthy their father's love, their mother's cares.
