ADDRESS TO THE MUMMY IN BELzoxr's EXHIBITION,
LONDON,
aAnd thou hast walked about Chow strange a siory.D
10 Thebes' streets ten thonsand-years ago,
When the Memnonium was all It's glory,
And time had not began TO overthrow
Those temples palaces and piles supendous,
OF which the very ruins are tremendous.
Speak Tor thou long enough hast acted Dummy.
t'Thou hast tongue come let US hear lis tune;
Thou art standing on thy legs, above ground,
Mummy.
Revisiting the glimpses Of the moon.
Not like thin ghosts or dsembodied creatures,
But with thy bones and flesh and limbs and fea-
lures.
Tell us--for doubtless thou canss recolecf,
To whom should we assign the sphnx,s famel
Was Cheops or Cephrenes architect
OF either Pyramid that bears his name
Is Pompev's pillar really misnomer
Had Thebes a hundred gates as sung BY Homerl
Perhaps thou vert Mason, and forbidden
BY oath TO tell the mysteries OF thy trade,
Then say what secret melody was hidden
IN Memnon's statue which q sun rise PLAYED
Are vaini-Egyptian priests meier owned their Jug
giles.
Has hobb a-nobbd with Pharoah glass TO glass
Or dropped half penny In Homer's hat,
Or DOTTED thine own 10 let Queen Dido pass
Or held by Solomon's own invitation,
A torch at the great Temples dedication.
need not ask thee if that hand when armed,
Has any Roman soldier mauled and knuckled,
For thon vert dead and buried and embalmed,
Ere Romulus or Remus had been sucked -
Antiquity appears to have begun
Long after thy primeval race was run. ~
Since first thy form was in this box extended,
We have, above ground, seen some strange muta-
TONS
The Roman empire has begun and ended
New worlds have risen we have lost old nations,
And countless kings have into dust been humbled,
While not fragment Of thy flesh has crnmbled.
Didst tbou not hear the pother Der thy head
When the great Persian conqneror Cambyses,
Marchd armies DER thy tomb with laundering
tread
O'erihrew Osirus, Orus, Apis, Isis,
And shook the Pyramids with fear and wonder,
When the gigantic Memnon fell asunder3
If the tomb's secrets nav not be confessed,
+, The nature of thy private life unfold, $50
A heart has throbbd beneath that leathern breast,
And tears adown that dnsky cheek have rolled:
Have children climbd these knees, and kissed that
face
What was thy name and station, age and racel
Statue Of fesh--immortal Of the deadl
Impershable type Of evanescencsl
Porthnmous man, who qnitt'st thy narrow bed
And stand.st undccayed in our presence,
Thou wilt hear nothing till the Judgment morning,
When the great trump shall thrill thee with its warn
ing.
