n. Drama ;aere look OF pity shroTs.
For there in DAYS Of yore her anthems rose:
r., ,h., were heard the misth an5 laughter lond,
Ws., P1ut..' muse addressed ,he Roman crowd
Whea Terence 100, Pouf'd fnrth the comic song,
The cheers were high. The laughter loud ahd iohg
A.a;a she casts her seafching eyes a:ound,
.sR.wa,e,-,,is whispered, sst,s is holy ground -
Why-.tis on Britain's isle or footsteps stand,
Nav /, IS more-',is Shak:pe0res father land:
Heee did the Master all or feelings scan,
Each nook. each recess in the heart OF man;
Here brilliant Sheridan fame's laurel won;
Here johnson put his s'iearn-ed buskin on"
F1u.h,d wild: fondjo she with glance,
TO yine-clad hills, and sun-brgh, wales OF France:
Points TO the Theatre with tragic meis.
Add marks the passions of the stem HdcuSi
From those who pity and who kindly feel,
She asks a tear-to she'd with Great CornetAe.
Now swift across the Atlantic wave she fies,
Where rear'd mid wilds, her beauteous domes
arise;
Each hill and dale her thrilling voice have heard,
And Fo RREsrs echo to the native BIRD:
Throughout our land, where'eI she chance to roam
She finds resting pIacc-bu, here HOME.
We dedicate TO thee, oh Goddess bcst,
This thy first temple in the far, far west;
Oh. fondly cherish this fair house of thine,
And shed around thy influence benign:
Let vivid images of By gone things
Deflc before our eyes like ssBanquo's kings;o
Let Lear again enact his frantic part,
And sweet Opteiia steal her hearers heart,
LIE, the kind audience feel the fond regret,
And weep with ROMEO oves JULIET
Let !Spartaeus again from bondage freed,
Not like slave, but like a Thracian bleed;
Picture the scene where cfaste Iirginid fell,
And point to .sfreedom in the shaft Of TELL"
And may the sylph-like nymphs our joys enhance,
BY mystic trippings of the fairy dance;'
On ariel's wing, and soft as brooklets flow,
Their footsteps falling like the fakes Of SNOWY
Let their ltne forms in may circles run,
Aid grace receive what gtioni Won.
Lot ti,oso fair walls with echnss soft prnlong =
The dulcet gushings OF each sou-bora song,
Lweet as the Euphony of Heavens bright spheres,
Strike the bland warblings on the lis;ner's ears. q
But no-from Earth zach silver sound hath fed,
We weep--we wall, for MALIBRAS is dead. I
Now 10 our audience honor'd, learn'd and gay,
Tho humble speaker has one word TO say:
If e'ef loath'd vice should rear her hideous face,
Or in this tragic fame find dwelling place,
Ife'sf this house with scuIion jesting rings,
Or dcsecrated be to sinful things,
Lei the bold actor his presumption tue;
Be cursed tho player, and his temple too
But il tho muse enlightened never strays
Far from the pleasant path Of viiiue's ways,
Then shall fair learnin. sanctify this dome,
And Joy and Science fix their lasting home;
The tagic muse shall high her sceptre rear,
The steafnest eye snail glitter with tear;
Mild ITALIA too, shall our griefs bcguile,
The rudcst hearts shaIffeel the genial power,
And future ages BLESS the natal hour.
Then DER the player be your kindness shed,
Pour out golds eshow'r upon his head;
