Byron, as ii in mockery over that for

there is no such passage in your book.
Surely you must be conscious Of your
woman with her" virtue loose about her

De as imaginary being as the woman
without head. A woman to suit Lord
byron /! Poo poo I could poiu, to
you The woman that could have matched
him, II had not bargained TO SLY as lit
tie as possible against him.
If Lady Byron was not suitable to
Lord Byron, so much the worse for his
Lordship +; for let me tell you, Mr..
Moore, that neither your poetry, nor
Lord Byrou's, nor all our poetry put to-
gether, ever delineated a more interest
ing being than the woman whom you
have so coldly treated. This was not
kicking the dead lion, but wounding the
living lamb, who was already bleeding
and shom even unto the quick. l
know that, collectively speaking, the
world is in Lady Byron's favour; but il
is coldly favourable, and you have not
warmed its breath. Time, however.

THE WIFE.

She flung her aohite arms around him-thou a,
alt that thts poor heart can cling 10.
/ could have stemmed misfortunes tides,
And borne the rich ones sneer;
Have braveG the naughty glance of pride,
Nor shed single teal;
could have smiled on every blow
From life's full culver thrown,
While might gaze on thee and know
! should not be alone
I could think could have broo!i'd
Zen for a time, that thou
Upon my fading face hadst looked
With less of love than now;
For then should at least have felt
The sweet hope still my own,
To win thee back-and whilst dwelt
On earth, not been alone.
But thus to see, from day to day,
Thy bright'ning eye and cheek,
And watch thy life-sand waste away,
Unnumbered, slowly, meek:
To meet thy smile of tenderness,
And catch the feeble tone
Of kindness, ever breathed to bless,
And feel I'll be alone.
To mark thy strength each hour decay
An yet thy hopes grow stronger,
As, filled with heaven ward trust they say,
I" Earth may not claim thee longer"
Nay, dearest, It's too much-this heart
Must break, when thou art gone,
1T must not be, we may not part,
could not live alone

BY LADY BYRON.
From the New Monthly Magazine for April
Mr.. Moore's life Of the Noble Bard was
reviewed in our last number it must now
be reviewed again. Among the literary
noticesof the Ne0 Monthly, consented
to the insertion of Mandatory account of
the work /; nay, more, | expunged portion
of the manuscript critique, in which Mr..
Moore was censured for unfa;rness to-
wards Lady Byron. This did from un-
willingness to blame my friend, Mr.. Moore
and from having scarcely dipped into the
censured parts Of the book Besides. |
did not then believe Lady Byron 10 be so
perfectly justiaable in the separation as
know her to be. Such were the circum-
stances under which | circulated amopo
thousands the little warranty of my appro.
baton Of work, which find, on closer
inspection, to be one Of the most iniudi.
cious books that ever was published. Bot
since that time the state Of circumstances
has wholly changed-Lady Byron has spo-
ken out. As her friend, could not keep
my mind quiet about her feelings under

POETRY.

The following beautiful and pathetic lines are
from the Daily Advertiser, and we sorry that
no account is given of their origin. They are
the ms SEPARATION of gifted muse, and are not be-
meath the offuson of Cowper or Burns in their
happiest moment. The thought in the second
verse are exguistely touching-N. Y. L. Post.

for long red cloaks, to which their lords
