THE BECGAR.

OF late I faw hum on his flaf fee!in'd, ..
3owd down beneath weary weight Of woes,
Without roof to fheIter from the wind
He head all hoar with many winters inows.
All trembling he approaeh'd-he itrove to fpea!s
The voice OF Mifery fcarce my ear aaaird;
A A1od Of forrow fwest his furrow'd cheek;
Remembrance chsck'd him. and his utterznce fai'd.
For he had known full many . better day,
And when the poor man at his houiehold bent,
He drove him not wiki aching heart away,
Blu, freely ihar'd what Providence had ient.
How hard for him, the franger's boon to crave.
And live to want the mite his bounty gave
