buckle to my slender side
The pistol and the Scimctar,
And III my maiden flower and pride
Am come to share the tasks Of war.
And yOnder stands my fiery steed,
That paws the ground and ncighs to go,
My charger of the Arab breed
took him from the routed foe.
My mirror is the mountain spring,
AT which dress my ruflled hair;
My dimried and dusty arms bring,
And wash away the blood-stain there.
Why should guard, from wind and sun,
This check whose virgin rose is fled,
1t was for onc-oh, only one
kept its bloom, and he is dead.
But they who slew him-umaware
OF coward murderers lurking ugh--
And left him to the fowls of air,
Are yet alive-and they must die.
They slew hm-and my virgin wears
Are vowed to Greece and vengeance now;
And many an Othman dame, in tears,
:. Shall rue the Grecian maidcn's VOW
tou7hed the lutte in better DAYS,
led i'll dance the joyous band:
All! they may move to mrthful lays
Whose hands can touch lovers hand.
The march Of hosts that haste TO meet
Seems gayer than the dance to me:
Inc iutes sweet tenes are not so sweet
AS the fierce shout of vic.Ory.

THE BLIND MANS LAMENT.

where are the visions of estacy bright
That can burst DER the darkness, and Danish the
night?
~ where are the charms that the day unfold
10 the heart and the eye that their glories hold'
peep, deep in the silepcc of sorrow mourn
or no visions of Beauty for me shall e'er burn.
Fhey have told of sweet purple hues of the West
vi the rich tnts that sparkle oceans wiie breast;
They have told me of stars that burning high;
When the night is carccrng along ~ vast sky;
But alas. there remains, where.oever flee,
Nor beauty, nor lustre, nor brightness for me.
But yet, To my lone gloomy couch there is given
ray to my heart that is kindled in Heaven;
h sooths the dark path through this valley of tears,
II enlivens my heart, and my sorrow it cheers,
For 1t tells of morn when this night shalt pass by,
And my spirit shall dwell where the days do not die!
