ORIGINAL POETRY.

PATRIOTIC PANEGYRIC.
TIERNEY declares, and TIIgItNEY'S R 101(0r,
Fir thinks so well of BARROW and of CHOKER, •
Should Sr.:lei:mime the Admiralty to dregs,
He's sure, they soon would get npon their legs;
While this by poetrg and that by prnse,
Would rise to fortune, is despite of foes.
How dirrent then would be poor TtittxttY's ease,
Itedued to want, and hopeless of a place—
Dany'd their powr's to rise, through life, slack !
The growling Mongrel of a toothless. Pack:

PITY.
Sleet ebild ohlear'n ! softly berr4,ht,
iti.ls the oesnilig ray!
• CtittleTityl in- thine own pure Might,
To gild the face of day ;
And smiling through thine olive bow'rs,
And weeping o'er their faded flow'rs;
'Steal gently 'on thy way
And let thy gaze hang on the sky,
AnCi.Fceling's 4e* upon thine eye

She wines! and as to Earth she draws,
Her check is pale ;
Or blushing al the world's applause,
She stops the ',leasing tale;
And creeping to ibe side of wise,
Her white !Mld sinoetlii'the; furrow'd brow
And binds it with her veil ;
And while she cheats the mini of care,
Her voice is love, and love is proy'r !

Or stooping o'er the couch'of pain,
*hen e'en HoPe has flown,
Her sight shall cool the heated brain,

And malee the Soul her Um) :
The languid eye shall meet her gaze.
And hring thoutcht the happier day*,

More blest, since now nisknowns , •
And in the faintly fond caress,
14r care shall soul he, her tongue shall bless !

Pale Penitence, in mantle grey,
h agil andsilent near,
,And tremblingly she gives away
Ells parikin in a tear;
While hanging o'er his kneeling form,
She skre.ens him frOm the passing storm,

Abed calms the doubt of fear;
And hiding un her knee his f;ice,
She points to Mercy's dwelling place.

Like who on their tuoist'wed beds
peplore the doudy'day,
As bending down their pensive heads
They Weep and deep away !
So Pity, 'newts the,tempest blast,
Bows low her head till all has pAst—

A dna/1r upon the spray!
And loteher in her dress of woe,
Her tears refresh. the earth below !

Oh strange, thnt prodigal of grief,
Thou canst our grief ditpeli •
And stranger yet, that, sorrow's leaf

We love to rend. so wail !
Oh! who would shun that dream of mind
Where woe it pleasure undeSit'd
'A joy we cannot tell ! •
While Pity, with her weeping rye,
Pouis all her sold in half her sigh!' • '
