Ye fairies Of the miIder mood, no more
Seek soft repose yonder shore
And you We elves, beware how you are iound
Desportins OF a wizards chosen ground;
For there his said he stalks ghost at nisni,
With witches two, full clad in awful P,gnr
To hold mysterious converse with the shaaes
OF damned spirits from the realms OF Ha'ds'
Alone two gen sought that shore, TO lave
Their weary limbs beneath the liquid wave;
But ali, il was the wizards waking our,
And forth he rushed his victims 10 devour.
Your lin. were free from eue--your hearts true;
Or that infuria,e fend would then have laid
Two corses PROSTATE at the internal shade
Al dead Of night his doleful clarion sound,
Is heard 10 break upon the still profound
And roll in fearful accents down the glen,
To rouse the witches from their yawning den.
Then through the shades sf n,ght are seen 10 glide
Two grizzly hends incarnate side by side.
Behold them their trystng place, where stand
group Of willows the washed strand,
Trees planted by the wizard we are tcld,
To work machinry Internal, and to mould
His haggard visage thers may you dsscry,
In horror erinning al the wtch,s by;
And down his grizzly beard profuse,
Il to flow the rich narcotic juice.
Behold, hags there, either side,
Though only to him allied:
But mark the old one-horror, what face
In each dark line, fiery 6ena you trace:
TIVE garing eye-balis sunk in sockets deep,
Yosd deem some corse had started from his sleep.
Full oft this bag is with clenched hand
With eyebrows knt--with every muscle strained
And ready at the wizards awful nod,
To lay her victim hfeless on the sod.
Then high their inc antations sound,
Till conjured spirits stalk around
Till Haides' darkest demons there,
With horrid wailing fill the air.
Then starts the roe buck from the glen
Away-awsy, bounds DER the plain
The owet shrieks with boding wall,
And frightened flies the haunted vale
The gaunt wolf screams along the glen
The FOX is startled from his den-
The panther prowls ia sulien mood
The wild hyena shrieks aloud
The sckall hears the horrid fray,
And whets his hungry fsngs for prey.
Then loud King Wizard blew his shell,
The fairies quail beneath his ire;
He lifts his like hend in hell
And thunders out isrth, boidest liar.
Up starts old mother bag alone,
And shrisks cut loud and shrill
"Il tell tale, twill make earth groan-
IT will shake the deepest heil.'
1.-Two genii dwell in yonier grove,
OF virtuous mould made;
To call on them the wrath OF Jove,
My hellish prayers were SAID.
Down on their guiltless heads was seen
The fire Of Heaven to ram.
IL would have done you good. ween,
To hear their gfoans Of pain.
saw them wriihe in FIRE ant smoke,
heard them weep and wall;
And saw the gnasty looks, that spoke
The horrors OF the SPELL.
/ took them BY their CORY hair,
And dragged them DER the pyre-
Heavens I! what goody sighi was there,
To them roast on fire.
danced around that horrid ground,
And shouted many yell
Till tn genii to the fiery fame
And broke the glorious SPELL"
Then the shr shrek Of triumph wild DER the plain,
Till the dark mountains quake, the rocks fall in twain;
Till the voice OF King Wizard fell low TO the ground
Like thunder roild high, and like thunder rod round
Like a eathch the mandate OF King Wizard fell,
q Back &c nds to your shades-to the fortunes of he"
Down, down through the dark winding chasms afar,
The iegions fell trumbng TO realms of despair
