EY M. J. EYE, ESQ.. T.

When load the wintry tempest roars,
When dal k the exhalations rise,
When dash the billows 'pima the shores.
And sable clouds obscure the skies;
Cheerful amid the dreary scene
Hope looks abroad with eye serene,
To I►appier hour. when Spring again
Shall show her renovated reign.
And leading on the rosy hours,
Shall strew the teeming earth with Sewers;
With yaungdelight each bosons cheer,
And wake to jol again the variegated year.

Or if it chance She influence bland
Be clieck'd by adverso skies awhile,
By Earns ruder gales if fated,
Uncertain April cease in smile 3
'When Mnia's genial tweezes blow,
With richer dyes and warmer glow'
When June appear!, fleets every clout) away,
And all creation nails the animating ray.
Then from ambition's iron reign,
The embattled wall; the eii4;int.uln'd plain,
The inmates of this favoured isle
Look 6,rutiv, witlyexpectant
To that tileutltaur when Briton; sing
'The birth attgpicinus of a parent King)
And as the clouts of winter fly
When June ifilltllCS the genial sky,.

O'er wide Burapa's tre,nhlimt ►powers,
Like wintry clouds dispersing fade away
before the radiant beams that gild this happy dill,
When the proud Persian vainly tried
In impotence of rage to chain the tide,
1)Id Ocean mork'd the impious boast,
Orecia triumph'd o'er his naval host,
Such Gallia 's vaunt, and such the fate
That on such empty vaunt shall wait. •
For while she threats in angry tumid
From every share our commerce to exclude,
JRritanntais arms beyond the Atlantic main
L. plure nest regions of her golden reign.
And while each isle that studs the western wave,'
Yield • to her daring prows and warrior's brave,
Her harks commercial crowd the azure deep,
Her fleets, each hostile sail from Orfila% bemoan sweep.

The riots at Wolverhampton, Birmingham,
Eaesliam, and other places, add to the concern Ina-

laborious and suffering part of its inhabitants
