LOVE AND LUST,

49, tes BY SELLEcE OSBORN.
Lust, Ike rav'nous tiger, springs
With savage gust upon his prey,
And on the lovely object brings
The marks Of ruin and decay,
Love, like the bee, with gentle power,
Extracts the honey Of delight,
Sips every sweet, nor Wounds the f]owc,
On which his tender pinions light
Lust, like furnace, breathing fire,
Embraces only to destroy,
And IN the ardor of desire.
Blasts every comfort, every 10y.
Love, like the genial sun in Nav,
Emits its kind refreshing beams.
Drives each sintruding fear away,
And Ger Iife'svaried landscape CLEANS.
Lust, like mighty deluge pours
Dismay and terror where it flows:
Poor victims shudder while it roars
And wake to horror from reposc,
Love, like The gently winding riIl,
Glides peaceful DER the yerdant green.
Where every boisious carols still,
And all is tranquil, all serene.
