Of consequence never were recited.

THE BIRTH OF BURNS.
AN ODE.
The guardian spirit of the Tyre
Ger Europe wing'd her wavs
And babe the baby muse retire,
= And hush the childish law.
For long the chasten'd ear of tasts
Had sounds discordant bore;
And genius wept to view the waste
By folly done to lore:
Andi ,aorancs, with insulting tongue
Wanted ihe id song be sung.
The goddess saw twas venial all
The sycophan,ic strain,
That only knew to rise or fail,
As sprung the hope OF gam;
As wealth and power, dictators proud,
The fayning MINSTREL rul'd,
30 follos'd he tne molly crowd,
To rile sub,ervience schooPd;
Debas'd the spirit God had given,
And paid to earth the debt of heaven.
srwas now DER Albyn's hills she soar'ds
And chan I'd to list the lay
The SO of isdepeaaence pour'd
In penury's darkest dav.
thee shall poesy,s spirit dwell'
Was straight the goddess vow;
And. 10, on BURNS her mantle fell,
And deck him at the plough
Alas. his eve, that hour so oiesl,
Fell on the dying 'Daisy's' breasts
Prophetic strains DER that lone flower
His gentle spirit sung
Untimely nipt in luckless hour.
Bright, blooming, beauteoas, young;
HIS and the Daisy's fate were onel
Life's fitful dream is Ger:
The shaft of fate its worst hath done,
And Scotia's bard. no more:
Immortal strains to him are gwen,
And Busss his mary chaunts in Heaven.
Spirit Of Scotia's proudest layi
This social circle greet;
Nav mutual love our bosous sway,
And all in friendship meet;
The sons Of Allyn hther met,
10 celebrate thy birth,
Can ne'er themselves or thee forget
In veal, in wo, or mirth:
And well Coi.m5id' S offspring prize
The bard who could slave despiss.
And thou, late partner OF his breast,
Accept from,riends away.
9he wish, that thou and thine be blsss
Throughout hfe's latest day;
And from the bard of western skies
Accept the fesvent prayer,
That flowers in every pain may rise
For .bosny JEAN Of AYR!
And NAV her BARNS e'er worthy prove
or Robby fame, and Jenny's love.
