Its blossoms are fair and tempting to The eye;
Attractive TO the sense, and sparkling In The
sunbeam But lhei. beauty is evanescent, and
brncath them are hidden long black thorns aud
dark leaves Thus does assumed gaiety hide
gloomy heart, The smiling lip and the cheer
ful brow belle the deep sadness which hroods
below. To this Discrimination proud minds
are prone, yelling their s irf from the imper-
,inence Of curiosity and the insults Of Pety; like
the beam, which Moore tells US,

While the tide runs in darkness and GOODNESS below:
SO the cheek may he tnged with warm sunny smile,
While the cold heart to ruin darkly the while"

broke out and the Briians he AIDED oy boaaecea,

The Romans and all strangers to the humoe'
of 70 900: we're put to the sword without as
tinc,ion of age or sex. This cruelty ho"e'e'
was soon after reyeuged by Suetanius, ('he No'

where 80 900 of the Britans are said TO nave

Deep in ruin as in guilt.
Rome for empire far renowned

Then the progeny that springs
From the forests of our land
Armed with thunder, clad with wings,
Shall wider world command.
Regions, Cesar never knew,
Thy Posterity shall sway;
Where his eagles never few.

Dying, hurld them at her foe.
