EXTRACT FROM THE STH cAHTo OF DON JUAN.
By Lord Byron.
Of all men, saving Sylla the man-slayer,
Who passes for in life and death most lucky,
OF the great names which in our faces stare,
The GENERAL Boon, back-woodsman of Ken
lucky,
Was happiest amongst mortals any where
For killing nothing but bear, or buck, he
Enjoyed the lonely, vigorous, harmless DAYS.
Of his old age, in wilds of deepest maze.
Crime came not near him-she is not the child
OF solitude health shrank not from hm-for
Her home is in the rarely trodden wild,
Where if men seek her not, and death be more
Their choice than life, forgive them as begIiled
BY habit 10 what their own hearts abhor-
In cities Gagged. The present case in point
Cite is, that Boon lived hunting up TO ninety
And what's still stranger, left behind a name
For which men vainly decimate the throng,
Not only famous, but of that good fame,
Without which glory but tavern song
Simple, serene, the antipodes of shame,
Which hate nor envy e'er could tinge with
wrong;
An active hermit, even in age the child
Of nature, or the Man of Ross run wild
IT'S true he shrank from men even in his nation
When they built up unto his darling trees,
He moved some hundred miles off for station
Where there were fewer houses and more ease;
The Inconvenience of civilization
Is, that you neither can be pleased nor please
But where he met the individual man,
He showed himself as kind as mortal can.
He was not all alone around him grew
sylvan tribe of children Of the chase,
Whose young, unwakened world was ever new
Nor sword nor sorrow yet had left trace
On her unwrinkled brow, nor could YOU view
frown on natures or on human face
The free born forest found and kept them free,
And fresh as is torrent or tree
And tall and strong and swift Of foot were they
Beyond the dwarfng city's pale sbortions,
Because their thoughts had never been the prey
OF care, or gain the green woods were theii
portions
No sinking spirits told them they grew grey,
No fashion made them apes of her distortions
Simple they were, not savage; and their rifles
Though very true, were not yet used for trifes.
Motion was in their DAYS, rest in their slumbers
And cheerfulness, the handmade of their toll
Nor yet too many nor too few their numbers
Corruption could not make their hearts her
soil
The lust which stings, the splendor which en-
cumbers,
With the free forester divide no spoil
Serene, not sullen, were the soitudes
Of this unsighing people of the woods.
Alas that clouds should ever steal
Ger Loves delicious sky;
That ever Loves sweet lip should feel
Aught but the gentlest sigh!
Love is pearl of purest hue;
But stormy waves are round il:
And dearly may woman rue
The hour that first she found il.
