CHINESE POETRY.

The Maacca Magazine from which we
made some extracts a few DAYS since, in giving
the following specimen of poetry, declares that
the greatest allowances should he made for the
translation. The beauties of Chinese verse
depend in a great measure upon circumstances
which it is almost impossible for a foreigner to
conceive. One OF these is the state of society
IN the country; and another the choice OF eN.
pressions offered by the innumerable combina-
tions of which their singular written language
Is capable. The beauties contained IN 4 trans
,.,ion so literal as the following, are only of the
inAerent character: while all those connected
with the state Of society and the selection acd
arrangement Of words, are entirely lost.

age had long before deprived him of

cry from Louisa Miss Temple turned,
she saw the dog with his eyes keenly
set on sone distant object, his head
bent near the ground, and mis- hair &C
sually rising on his body, either thro'
fright or anger. 1t was most probably
the latter, for he was growing ina low

Vital drop Of hellish fame,
Enter quick this mortal frame;
Trembling, Keeling, belching, thinking,
Oh, the pain--lhe bliss OF drinking.
Haste, sweet brandy, down my throat,
Nor let me anguish for a btoat.
IIark they whisper Tipplers say,
Brandy Spirits come this way.
What is this absorbs me quite.
Steals my senses, dims my sight,
Drowns my sorrows, gives me spunk-->
Tell me, my bowl, can be drunk
The room goes round--each thing appears
With wrong end upwarts--and my cars
Sweet sounds satanic catch;
Lend lend your arms reel! | die
oh, Rum! here is thy victory:
Oh, Grog where is thy match!
