ARABIAN SONG,
Founded on an anecdote related by Oriental Ira
uelLer.

BY MRS HEMANs.
Away though still thy sword is red,
With Likelihood from my sire
No drop of thine may now be shed,
To quench my spirits fire;
Though on my heart 'twoud fall more blest,
Than dews upon the deserts breast.
I've sought thee midst the haunts Of men,
Through the wide city's fanes;
I've sought thee by the lions den,
Oer painless, boundless plains;
No step that tracked the burning waste,
But its lonely course have traced.
Thy name has been baneful spell,
Ger my dark bosom cast;
No thought may dream, no words may tell,
What there unseen, hath pass'd
This hollow cheek, this faded eye,
Are seals of thee-behold and fly
Haste thee, and leave my threshold floor,
Inviolate and pure;
Let not thy presence tempt me more;
Man may not thus endure
Away bear the fetter'd arm,
A heart that burns-but must not harm
Hath not my cup for thee been pour'd,
Beneath the palm trees shade
Hath not soft sleep thy frame restor'd,
Within my dwelling laid
What though unknown-yet who shall rest
Secure, if not the Arabs guest
Begone outstrip the feet gazelle,
The wind in speed subdue,
Fear cannot fly so swift, so we'll,
AS vengeance shall pursue;
And hate, like love, in parting pain
Smiles DER one hope; we meet again
To-morrow-and tn avengers hand,
The warriors dart is free
Fen now, no spot in all the land,
Save this had SHELTERED thee;
Let blood the monarch's hall profane,
The Arabs tent must bear no stain
Fly may the deserts fiery blast
Avoid thy sacred way;
And fetter'd, Ill thy steps be past,
Its whirlwnds sleep to-day;
would not that thy doom should be
Ass4gn'd by Heaven to aught but me.

"O'er the wide world, while busy mortals roam,
TO search tor pleasures unenjoy'd at home,
Who, slaves to passion, dread to be alone,
And seek for company TO shun their own
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1825-05-21

Edgar did love, but still deiay'd
To make confession to the maid,
So bashful was the youth,
But let the flame in secret burn,
Certain of meeting return,
When from his lips the fair should learn
Officially the truth.
AT length one morn, to taste the air,
The youth and maid, in one horse chair,
long excursion took.
Edgar had nerv'd his bashful heart,
The sweet confession to impart,
For alb suspense had caused smart
He could no longer brook.
He drove, nor slacken'd once bis rein,
Till Hampstead's wide extended plain
Seem'd .oin'd to skies above:
Nor house, nor tree, nor shrub was near,
The wide and dreary scene to cheer,
Nor soul within ten miles to hear,
And still poor Edgar's silly fear
Forbore to speak of love.
At last one desperate effort broke
The bashful spell, and Edgar spoke,
Recounted past adventures DER,
And then, by all that's lovely, swore,
That he would love forever more,
If she'd become his own.
The maid in silence heard his PRAYER,
When, with a most provoking air,
She titter'd in his face;
Then said, "Tis time for you to know,
A lively girl must have beau,
Just like a reticule-for show
And at her nod to come and go
But he should know his place.
Your penetration must be dull,
To let hope within your skull,
OF matrimony spring.
Your wife ;-Ha ha upon my word,
The thoughts as laughably absurd
AS any thing l ever heard
Inever dream'd of such thing"
The lover sudden dropp'd his rein,
(Now on the centre of the plain)
"The lynch pins out" he cried,
" Be pleased one moment to alight,
Till can set the matter right,
That we may safely ride"
He said, and handed out the fair,
Then laughing, cracked his whip in air,
And, wheeling round his horse and chair
Exclaim'd, "Adeu l leave you there,
In solitude to roam"
" What mean you, sir % the maiden cried
"Did you invite me out to ride,
To leave me here without guide
Nay, stop, and take me home"
"What take you home," exclaimed the b
"Indeed, my dear, I'd like to know
How such hopeless wish could grow,
Or in your bosom spring.
Take Ellen home upon my word,
The thoughts as laughably absurd
AS any thing ever heard
Inever dream'd of such a thing

1t was Plato's idea, that on children's
minds should be engraven, on brass,
IN indellble characters, the eternal ideas
Of truth and justice that the wicked are
miserable in prosperity, and that virtue
is happy in persecution, and even in obi

Thou friend to him who knows no friend beside.
Is there mornings breath, or the sweet gale
That steals DER the ti1'd pilgrim of the vale,
Cheering with fragrance fresh his weary frame,
Aught like the influence of thy holy fame

The azure Heaven, or purple light of morn
Is aught so fair in evenings lingering CLEAN,
