Rehly TO Dr.. Perey,s celebrated Ballad

Rehiy 10 Dr.. Pereys celebrated Ballad,
"oH NANNY.
And canst thou Colin doubt my love
Nor think my fond affection true
Saw, does not every moment prove
NV bosom beats alone for YOU
The charms which grandeur can impart
Al best but boast feeble sway
Then could their glare attract my heart
Ifthou my love vert far aways
Those scenes so oft with thee admired
Would cease to please If thou vert gone
For oh the heart with love expir'd
Is dead to bliss when left alone.
Then let me all thy perils share
Wherever fate may bid thee so
One smile from thee will Danish care
One kiss remove the bitIerest woe.
If DER thy couch with threatening air
Disease should spread its languid wing
Thy Nanny then with tenderest care
Would blunt the point Of misery's sting
Her bosom should thy pillow be
On which to rest thine aching head
Her lips would whisper hope to thee
Aitho' her every hope were fed.
And when at last deaths chill embrace
Shall still thine cbbing pulses play
And in thy glazed eyc trace
The parting beam of feelings ray
Upon thy icy lips one kiss
Shall watt my fleeting soul to thee
Where blooming hours and endless bis:
Await US in eternity.

".f horse iaugb.-A horSe-Iaugh is
certainly corruption from q hoarse
laugh, (perhaps spch one as that OF f.
rasmus a, stupid book, which cured
him OF his distemper) and doubtless had
Its origin from one who had very rough
voice, or violent cold. Still there is not
in all cases any chance of coming to a
precise decision, because we have, in the
Vegetable world the horse.chesbut. the
horsc. walnut, the horse radish.-ln the
animal world, the horsemuscie, horse
emmett, (formica leo.) horSc-crab, and
with great submissioD) a horse, godmoth-
en-, signifying tall bony, coarse, vulgar
woman, who would possibly make some
particular gentlemen as sick as horse
to look at, although they never saw a
horse sick-nor did we.'
Lord Coke says that monev is derived
from noneo, (to admonisb) "because it
,admonisheth its possessor to make good
use fit" Now this in our humble o.
pinion, is contrary to fact, for he who
possesses most money attends least to adj
monition.
Some of Swiii's etymologies were very
excellent, as far as the sound could con-
yey the sense. "Bucethalus, says he,the
