' SAUL AND JONATHAN.
Fan are the mighty—latad's beauty sleeps, I e
And mourning Judah for her ruler weeps:
Falrn are the mighty-r-lost the victor wreath,
The King, the Loan's anointed, rests in death ;
. The mighty Monarch wain all Israel sway'd,
Whom distant re ions honour'd and obey'd—
Unhappy fate, thsworthy of the brave,
Wants the cold honours of a warrior's grave !
Relate it not in Aske"on or Gatti.
• Lest it excite the Gentile's scornful laugh—
Lest the proud daughters of Philistia sing
The song of triumph o'er our fallen King!
And thou, Gilbert, who bast braid sublime
The raging tempest and encroaching time,
Let no moist dew on thee be henceforth found,
Nor kindly rain refresh the thirsty ground.
There lies the shield that Israel's Alhoarch bore,
And there the fields are drench'd with regal gore !
Daughters of Israel, rend the air and weep
O'er those who now in cold oblivion sleep;
No more to deck you shall the warriors toil,
With proud Philistia ;Ind Arnalek's spoil :
Swift as the eagle darts upon 'his prey,
Strong as the lion they did urge their way.
Oft where the combat rag'd with fiercest glow,
The son of Saul did twang his deadly bow;
Oft in the-tainting foe by lizav'y ablatted,
The gallant father skeath'd his crimson sword ;
Bist•never will the gallant chiefs again '
Descend in terrors on the deathly' plain !
Falrn is the mighty sire, andrhightier son,
Theii race of gluey is for ever run!
Oh ! Jonathan, my brother and my friend,
31y love for thiie shall never, never end ;
Tender's the love the bridegroom bears the bride,
Who but an kink has greed his yobthfol side;
Stronea the affeetion.that,a.kohec.beara
Towards his duteous anst,tong beta.
The moth 1x loves-the e ,upiya her knee,
