An, say not Love is but sound,
lnconstant, OF but rarely found, @
Perhaps thou hast not rightly sought;
TRUE COVE is neither sold nor bought.
Would thou 90 court a city dame,
Whose heart IS battered with her money,
Whose hand thousand suitor's claim,
With Golfers lined, and words of honey?
All, dost thou know that Loves fame
Accounted here an empty name?
Or, Danish d to the PEASANTS howell,
Seen only in farce or novel;
Money, the Universal key,
Money unlock the virgin zone;
Did money ever fall to thee?
Oh! thon'rt Poet get the gone'
All, dost thou deem Poets name
Sufficient to inspire flame!
That Love would e'er forego achariot,
To live with the attic garrett
Thy dream of life is broken late,
Delusive as a bright parhehon;
prav sir. where lies thy real estate?
Dost thou subsist like the camelion?
All thou may'st say Poest's fame,
Is nothing but an empty namei
Canst thou, with all thy love and studying,
Procure meal of in6ian pudding:
Co put thy wits to better use,
Didst thou e'er think to live by rhyming?
Obtain enforcement from the muse,
And cease, at once, thy senseles shiMing
All. sir, be sure IL will not do
To write, In verse, billet douX!
For it would be silly caper,
To waste thine ink, and soil thy paper;
Although thy ryhmes may jingle treA,
Except thyself, all deem themtrash;
And, In the ear of city belle,
They jingle not like CASH.
All, though thou vert possessed of wit,
Though hast not tredth to blazon it.
See him, who rides IN coach and four,
Who reckons income by the hour:
HI dullest Joke will circle round,
viii meet with rapture and applause;
From side to side the echoes sound
Friend, dost thou comprehend the cause:
All, then no more, to genius trust;
Shake offthine lima lIater dust,
Endeavor love of fame to smother,
And learn some handicraft or other;
Poetck VISIONS put to flight,
For thou hast been rhyming sinner;
DO Shail thy prospects open bright,
And thou shalt oftener see a dinner.
An, gaze upon the Poets page,
Or writings of the ancient sage;
They sacrificed their health and ease,
To know the worth of bread and cheese!
The fate of G aATTERroN calls forth
Young Genius tears, for hopes misled;
And Science wept the fate of worth,
I'D G.
All, wouldst thou gain the smiles Of Love!
Dream not of Academies grove,
The vale Of fempe's fowery scene,
Or Heiicon or Hippocrene;
Nor fancy bliss, unknown below,
Which angels scarcely find above:
But all thy thoughts ,ceath bestow,
For that commands the need Of love,

All. whogshall say that Loves pure glow
IS not taste or heaven belowt
Whilst In that glow there is charm,
To raise the soal-the fancy warm;
And dreaming of the absent fair,
The youthful lover sleeps serene,
Her pleasing image hover there,
And magic visions gid the scene!
All. saw not Love is but a sound,
Inconstant and but seldom found!
There is an union of the soul,
Where Love hath spread hersweet control
Der all the secret springs of joy;
Then fly the blissful moments feet,
Unnixed with passions base alloy;
And genial minds devoted meet.
All, call not Love an empty sound,
A sweet aelusion never found! ..L
When the last PRAYER was sighed IN valn,
And hope forsook the couch of pain,
With kind consohng cares intent; :.
She soothed the husbands parting breath,
An angel from Elysium, sent
Tolight the darksone day of death.
All. call not Love an empty sound,
A sweet deluSion never found!
She is maid of bashful mien,
In towns and cities rarely seen;
But BY the wood, or fountain side,
Sequestered from the noon-tide heat,
With meditation oft allied,
She seeks the canopied retreat.
All. wouldst thou hear the voice of Love!
Attend the ministries of the grove,
When summer suns renew the year,
And birds of every plume appear,
She tunes the sparrow amorous note,
The cuckoo's dull UNMARRIED lay;
She opes the crows discordant throat,
And wakes to Joy the sprightly jay.
All, say not that the holy fame
IS nothing but an empty name
It binds the peasant to his cot,
And makes him bless his humble lot;
His children climb around his knee,
Re1ectiug back their mothers smiles;
Or, seated near the spreading tree,
Their evening sport his care begulie''
All, who shall dare to own his shame,
BY calling Love an empty name!
Who hath not felt that generous glow,
IN vacant indoience may grow,
impervious to the seraph's dart,
While torpor DER his senses stealing,
Shall close each passage to his heart,
Unenved for its want of feeling.
All, who shall say that Loves pure glow
Is not taste of heaven below!
Yet there are some Of coarsest mould,
To whom her charms IN vain unfold;
But Love hath not the power to move
Those callous minds that cannotprizeher:
Such ne'er shall that sweet union prove,
Which binds -. to -

GOV. CLINToN's SPEECH.

Says the National Advocate, is one OF
the best speeches ever delivered by him.
1t contains no denunciations against the
general government; no covert attempts to
TO fan the flames of disunion; no disguised
or ulterior views; no political speculation
There is an absence of all those former
lhroes of .nbition; those proud and pre-
sumptous attacks upon political oppo-
gents; those recommendation of interest
and experiments of power, all is smooth
and industrious; inten, on business; though
the speech is designed for the United
States more than this state, as it settles
the principles Of our foreign commerce,
and dabbles in affairs purely national.
