YE airy fprites, who oft As fancy calls,
Sport 'mida he precincts Of thele haunied walls !
Light forms, that float in mirth's tuuultuous
throng,
And frolic dance, and revelry, and forg,
Fold your gay wings, rePrels your wonted fire,
And from your favourite feats awhile retire.
And thou, Whole powers faLhmer thoughts
imPart,
Queen Of the fprings that move the human
heart,
With change alternate, at whole magic call,
The fwelling tides Of patton rife or fall;
Thou too withdraw-foT 'mi1a thy lov'd abode,
With fep more teTn, mightier power has trod
Here, on this fpot, TO every eye CONTEXT,
Inrob'd with terrors Good the kingiy gue1.
Here, on this lPot, Death wav'd the unerTing
dart,
And aruck his nobleR prize--AN HONEST
HEART!
What wondIous links the human feelings
bind
How Rrong the fecret iymPalhies of mind
a fancy's Piaur'd forms around US move,
We hope, OF fear, rejoice, deIea, or love:
Nor heaves the Ggh for felfh woes alone.
C,ngenipl forTows mingle- with our own:
H.nce, as the poets rapiur'd eye balls roll,
sIhe fond derium feizes all his foul;
And, whi' Il his pulfe concordant meafures keeps,
He lmiles in trenfport, or in anguiih weeps.
But, al lamsnyed hade not thine to know
The anguh only Of imagin'd wee;
Deaind Ger life's fubRantial lis to mourn,
A fond parental ties uEtimely torn
Then, whit thy bofom, labouring with its
gTiefs,
From tabled foTrows fought fhort relief,
The fancied woes too true to natures tone,
Bura the fiji hit barrier, and became by own,
II mingled tides the fwelling patton ran,
Abioro'd the actor, and o'erwhelm'd the man 7
Martyr Of lympathy, more fadly true,
Than ever fancy feign'd, or poet drew
Say, why by Heavens Acknowledged hand
impreR,
Such keen fenfations aduate all the b-ean!
Why throbs the heart for joys that long have
fed
Why fingers hope around the lilent dead
Why fpurns the fpirit lis incumbring clay,
And longs TO foar to happier realms away
Does heaven nnjuft the fond defe infill,
To add to mortal woes another Ill ?
Is there thro' all the intellectual frame,
No kindred mind that prompts the nightly
dream
Or in lone mulings of remembrance fweet,
Infpires the fecret wiih-once more to meet
There is-for not BY more determin' d laws
The fympathetic feel the magnet draws,
Than the freed fprh acts with 6rong controul,
On its refponGve fympathies Of fedl;
And tells in characters ofttuth unfurpd
There Is aaoIbsy, and letter zDorld,
Yet, Whit we borrowing tread this earthly
ball
For human woes human tear viii fall.
-BleR he that tear--wko gives il, dcubly

That heals with balm the orphans wounded
brett
Net all that breathes m morning genial dew,
REEVES the parent plant where once itgrew,
Yet may thole dews with timely nature aid :
The infant aow'rets drooping in the fhade:
Whit long experienced worth, and manners
