POETRY.
ToR THE SPECTATOR,
THE RESTLESS MIND.

THE RESTLESS MIND.
The hill of science has its flowers,
While fame its summit pictures fair:
And l have hopeful wing'd my hours
To gain niche in temples there.
But elevations clearer air
iThe mists of distance left behind)
Serves but to shew how poor the fare,
10 safe restless mind.
The glance to orbs of heavenly blue,
The downcast look at each surprize,
The gradual progress to the view
OF love :etrn'd, in beauty's eyes:
The hand so dear-the lips prize.
The face so soft, so kind
Could not all these! ali love soon flies,
And leaves--a restless mind.
The emile that friendly lips receive,
The laugh that jovial notes resound,
The tales that mirthful pleasure give
TO list'ning, sportive youth around
Come to the ear unlike the sound
That flows from mis'ry's heath:
All me! when heartless laughs abound,
They speak of mental death.
So smile the languid, yet enclose
The seeds of slow, but sure disease;
So laugh the i'll, and yet their throes
Are proofs not of frame at ease:
And so the mirth on which seize
And spread among the thoughtless kind,
Is but an effort vain to please
Ny aohing-restless mind.
oh! say, ye worldly, have ye found
Enjoyment full in golden gain'
Have We ne'er paus'd on fortunes round,
And spent that interval of pains
o.say it not ! for would fain
Renew the search, to find
Fruition for the aching train
That nurse the restless mind.
Nc worldlings answer motive seen
You trembie at a ghastly trope!
Zen though the dying calmly lean
INTO the arms of death in hope
Come then, ye .f1v, nor let me grope,
Mid wretched pleasures blind;
But lead me to an ample scope,
To calm my restless mind.

o SANDER how love thy cursed name,
Thy breath is sweeter than the breath of fame
More lovely to my ear thy adder tongue,
Than erst in heaven, the swell ofheayenly song.
Oh how my hdeous bosom heayes with joy
Whenthyfoul poisons virtues bloom destroy
When talent, science, worth, at one fell breath
Sink to the grave, and own thy power in death.
When first took command of hel's black
thipng,
cast my eye the heightened crowd along,
And anxious sought some fiend, of fends the
boast,
Who at wo's work should be shimselfa host
On thee fixt. Thy haggard look of hell
Save studied pledge that thou could'st murder
well.
hIy choice was just. HelPs champion thou
hast proy'd,
Misery has wept where'er thy stride has mov'd.
Now half-born whispers give the twilight hint
Now serpent inuendoes creep in print,
Now the broad sheer inficts the boorish wound,
And now stark falsehood stalks its giant round.
Oh how love such lovely deeds as these
Deeds fit all hell and all hell's throng to please
There are know, who dream of other joys
Whose constant thought far other aim employs
Who scorn to foul their lips with sheer profane,
Who scorn to riot on another's pain;
Who deem fair virtue mans divinest grace,
and love her image in the soul to trace;
Who love the breast where generous candor
reigns,
Where fair, fxt Truth her holy sway maintains,
Where kindling friendship lights celestial fires,
Hnd every wish, but that of love, expires.
Away with such. These pleasures please not
Ihy charms, o SANDER! fill my heart with gee.
hail thee prince of every i'll of life;
] hail thee prince of hatred, pain and strife.
Go forth, fit champion of my royal cause,
Go forth, and set at naught all honor's laws;
Go forth, and where thou find'st worth's love
lest bloom,
There fix thy viper grasp, and drag it to the
'1mb.
