Brione's heart is overwhelmed when so much beauty
suddenly appears, and Alma passesicastily away, leav-
ing naught but love in his soul, and sadness over all
his thoughts. The story of Alma's dwelling—of her
ancestry—and of those who solace her lone hours is
now sweetly told. She relates the
.dreams of fancy
that disturb her sleep, after Brione is beheld; and
Bione, who slept not through the night, thinking of
Alma, again walks forth alone, and muses near the
river. The canto closes with the rescue of Seluline
and Ardone, with whom he returns to Blanche's halls,
the dwelling of his much sought love.
We have not space for an analysis of the dramatic
poem, The Return of Theseus, but we can recommend
it to our poetical Readers as possessing much tender-
ness and simple pathos. The author frequently re-
minds ns of Barry Cornwall—for he has the same love
of peaceful images and of pure and peaceful feelings in
general. A want of energy and power is obvious, and
there is a tendency in his verse to dilate too much on an
idea. We will take one brief extract from the dramatic
scene, and tike our leave of the author at the same time,
assuring him that a perusal of his elegant volume has
afforded us much pleasure, and that his production
requires only to be read to be admired. The following
chorus closes Ihe Return of Theseus, and relates to the
death of Hippodamia:

CHORUS.
14 Then be It so :—thus bear her solemnly
To rest within her final home. Our hands
Shall raise the cold w►ite muble sepulchre;—
And to our children's listening eats ►er fate
Shall be instill'd through every fleeting year.
Their smiling eyes with
The pale unweeting stone, their gentle bands
Oft in the breathing spring shall weave sweet SOWN
And in the evening, and the morn, renew
With silent lips each fragrant braided chain.
Circling around its base, each hurtful weed
Shall ever be destroy d, and, gently shorn,
The creeping shrubs forbade to stray too near ;
That rich and free the deep green velvet turf
May peacefully encoucb her urn. There aid!,
And silent, seen afar—with lonely sign
Its melancholy hue shall stand unchanged,
And speak of death to hint who passeth by—
Who hurrying swiftly on, one sigh shall breathe
Ere he forget that shade of sweet repose."
