WOMAN.

Woman woman how portray thy features.
Thou lovely mschlef!-Gentlesl of Gods creatures,
And worst OF furies; flower of Paradise,
and rank, foul weed, with deadliest poison fraught
Top OF all virtue, extract of all vice;
Above all value, yet so cheaply bought;
Source of all good, and fountain of all evil
Mans heaven and hell, his angel and his devil;
Gods favorite, and Gods abomination,
Our curse and blessing, saviour and damnation;
The rock on which mans shpwrecked hopes are lost,
The haven where his bark in peace reptses,
The sea of troubles where his soul is tossd
The spirit that DER his life calm difflses;
Farth's deepest stain, creations brightest spot,
Tell me, what art thou, and what art thou not
1t grieves me, ladies, to the heart to say
Things harsh as these, but 'tis covert way
To fiater yol, for still the Muses. deal
In fiction, so pray you take the good
(Which is all true) and cast away the i'll.

False as the despos oaths, the DEVILS wiles,

The master chord is broken,
And the master hand 10 coldl
Romance hath lost her minstrel;
No more his magic strain
Shall throw sweeter spell around
The legends of Almaine
His fame had flown before him,
To many foreign land;
His lays were sung by ey'ry tongue,
And harp'd BY ev'ry hand.
He came to Gull fresh laurels,
But Fate was in their breath;
And turned his march of triumph
Into drge Of death!
o, all who knew him loved him.
For with his mighty mind
He bore himself so meekly,
His heart it was so kind
His wildly warblng melodies
The storms that around them roll
Are types Of the simplicity
And grandeur of his soul
Though years of ceaseless suffering
Had worn him to shade,
So patient was his spirit,
No wayward plant lie made.
Fen Death himse r seemed 10th to scare
Ills victim pure and mild,
And stole upon him gently,
AS slumber DER a childl

Mourn for the knell has knoll'd;
The master chord is broken;
The master hand is cold London batter.
