from the Neckar family, he wrote to INFORM

With happiness resigned!
And love like mine cast meekly Dy,
At cold ambitions CALL

Tears, tears, why will we faill
The Swedish girl should scorn to stand

For him what could not nave porhe,
What wo or poverty
And rich in love, have smiled in scorn,
When heartless wealth rolled by.
T would have urged him up the steep,
Where hangs the noblest crown
Honor may gain, or virtue keep,
An honest mans renown;

And frightened each success with smiles
Yet why thus finger Ger a dream

But lent my soul on cheering beam
To light the darkness round!
Well. be it SOL may not speak

Ay. take thy bride and gifted one,
And glory in her fame!
And when, paraded in the sun,
Her genius lights thy name,
Forget amid its dazzling rays,
How dim thine own appears;
Nor think upon the heartfelt praise

When mingling love and hope, and pride,
With her now coldly thrown aside.
Ay. wed another-wed the great.
