Ere yet, mid Rhedecyna's bowers,
I humbly cull'd the Muses' flowers,
Ey silver Isis' sedgy side
Not rolling there a classic tide,
My native meads and groves &meal,
As blythe I tuu'd my artless sonr:,
My fancy Lail'd the halcyon day,
Crowti'd with our Sovereign's opening sway,
And pour'd the verse to that auspicious more,
Whichplac'd on Britain's throne a Monarch
Raptur'd I pour the verse again,
To bail tEc Brltish Monarch's lenzthen'd reign;

To celebrate the rising Year
In which a King to Britain deer
Bib every British breast with grateful iry
BleSi the tenth lustre of his lenient SW .1.
For while I strike the votive lyre,
• 'lle thridings of the trembling wire
Are lost amid the swelling notes of praise,
Which with accordant voice a gr3toful people pip,
From l'hule's hyperborean reign,
To where upon the southern raaM
Bellerus frowns—to where the Atlantic raar,,
0 verdant Erin, 'gainst t!...y verdant sh.oev,
• The paeans loud of exultation rise,
Wafting a Nation's plaudits to the skies :
And while the hallow'd rites of prayer and pra-:e
ToJleay.m's thr.n their Eratel el incense
Mild Charity with liberal hand
Spreads her blest influence o'er the smili;:g ;
_ With genial current far and wide,
Flows of benevolence the copious tide,
Crateful, the boon, while shouting myriads see,
That dries Affliction's tear, and sets the Captive ft :e
Though looking hack tiirrtt.ill many en
Since Eghert first our Sarno sires cb..2y'd,
No King recorded stattls'on Ilistory% pap
Su long, who Er.; lard's gold n s'er've sway',l,4
0 yet, through many a rollirg Tear,
• Long ! lung ! may AlEon's j.vicil race
Behold a crown to Freedom sacred, grace
The Iran they love—the Sovereign they revere.
`Plough seated on leer roejty throne,
Girt by her Navy's adamantine zone,
Britannia rears sublime her dauntless head,
Amid the storms of war that round her spread;
Yet by a generous Monarch be possesed,
The first great of ject of his pat rit,t breast;
May every baleful tapour fly
That hangs maiignant now o'er Europe's sky,
Infernal Dhcord's iron tempest cease,
And GLO ROE'S sun decline in glory and in peace!
• T'aough, to reckon from the accession to the demjss,
Henry 111, reigned nominally 56, and Ednard 111. SO year.;
yet, as the first acceded at 9 years of age, ane: the last at 14,
y did not, either of them, in fact, reign so long a his pre.
sent Majesty has now reigned.

It has been truly remarked, that though BoNei

terms, there was no congeniality between them, for
