For ihoa dld'st on them Hing thy strong emohon,
The likeness from itself the fond hear, gave;
As planets from afar look down On ocean, |
And give their o~n sweet ina &c ~ the wave.
"And thou dds, bring from foreign lands their
treasures,
As fonts thy various melody along;
We know the softness Of Italian measures,
I. And the grave cadence Of Casti'ian song.
A general bond Of union 10 the poet,
By lie immortal verse 10 language known,
And TOT the sake Of song, do others know it,
One glorious poe. makes the world his own.
And thou-how far thy gentle sway extended!
The hearts sweet empire over land and sea;
Many q stranger and fair flower was blended
In the soft wreath that glory bound for thee
We have already extended this article 10 an
unusual length; bu. there 10 melancholy plesssre
in dwelling on the memory Of one who hns ~
much contributed to our entertainment and enjoys
ment, and it is with reluctance We with draw from
the contemplation Of thu exquisite conception Of
her who will
''Neer see her household and her hills sgsin.'
