POETRY.

ELEGY ON THE RUINS OF FARLEY ;CASti.E,
TH-E ANTIENT FAMILY SEAT OF THE HUNGEIVFOROS

WRITTEN int A DECEASED 'LADY.*

My Muse nor dande, 'nor brilliant ball, inspires,
The gay resort of fashion she disdains,
l'rotn gaud? scenes Ow, unperceived, retires,
Wherpy wrapt in silence, Contemplation reigns-.

No flattering object here attentiOn leadi
in gladsome mirth to waste the tedious hour;
Reflection here her Ober lesson reads,
And O'er the Mind exerts her sor'reign power.

Ye perishing remains of ancient state!
Instrt►ctive teach. through all my theme preside;
Unfold put useful 'science to the great,
And paint the ignorance of huma❑ pride.

In every moulderilig heap, by time o'erthroivn,
E'er yet the spacious mansion be begun, -
Tell them its fate is by-these reliques shown,
When a few years their circling course have run.

The bird of night, within her dusky hower,-
Unseemly guest ! supplies man's vacant place;
She takes possession of the lonely tower,
And triumphs in the frailty of his race.

Pensive I listen to her evening lay,
Pleas'd to indulge the melancholy strain, .
When the pale moon emits her silver ray,
And lengthening shadows steal across the plain.

Where the devoted mortal lingering lies,
'Lis said, she wanders through the midnight glogm;
There fills the air with fearful prodigies,
And warns the wretch unconscions of his doom,

To leave at once the kind domestic sphere,
To break throngh every tender partial tie;
While Pity sheds the unavailing tear,
And Nature yields unwillingly to die.

The kindred tribe, asserting all their claim,
Hold back th' affections of the struggling heart;
Till Death, relentless, takes his final aim,
And strikes the blow that must for ever part.

What joys have been in former ages linown,
Beneath this roof ! What hours of social glee!
What maxims slid the geu'rous patrons own !
What friendly warmth and hospitality !

Here once the inviting portal, opening wide,
Besought the weary traveller to rest;
Nor was the cordial bounty then denied
To him—with ills and poverty oppressed.

The days have been when smiling plenty crown'd
The festive board ; when, to the cheerful bowl,
The sprightly jest in laughing peals went rouud,
And turned to mirth was ev'ry social soul.

The mnru of freedom waked the virgin band,
Where, love inspired, the swain avowed his truth;
Each took his blooming partner by the hand,
And pass'd the pleasing holiday of youth.

But. Time, from whose dominion nought can save,
Has made succeeding sons his hapless prey,
Has laid each boasted honour in the grave,
And swept whole generations quite away.

* The fair Author of these plaintive lines was acquainted
with the celebrated Poet GRAY, and it is evident, from the
pensive cast of these stanzas, that her wind was of a conge-
nial nature. We are indebted to the surviving Widower for
the Poem, and cannot but sympathize with hin► in the grief
which must attend the loss of so accomplished a character.
