THE MIND.
BY ISAAC COBB.

Let the poet sing of beauty,
And Of symmetry divine, @'
And, esteeming it his duty,
Bow before gilded shrine.
Reader thou vain attraction
Never, never. deign to seek, ,E
For the principle Of action,
Lies in neither eye nor cheek.
Let thO soul, the everlasting,
Be not satisfied with gold,
Pomp and splendor, terror casting,
No fine qualities unfold.
Gay apparel, all excelling,
Is no raiment for the mind
Samptuous fare and costly dwelling,
Learning should not hope to find.
Thou who hast constant raving
For the food that tyrants use,
Wealth of mobiles ever craving,
Learn a lesson of the Muse.
Wouldst thoa deck thy mind with
beauty.
And be honorsd as man?
Then, oh I! hasten 10 thy duty,
BY observing natures plan.
Love the high and awful mountain,
And admire the lowly vale,
Watch the playing Of the fountaiH,
Listen to the sweeping gale.
At the silent solemn hour,
When the gloomy night appears,
Bow in Worship to the power, c
That upholds the glowing spheres.
Wake from slumber in the morning,
And rejoice among the herds,
Bless the Hand the earth adorning,
With the tribes of singing birds. =
