THE MANIAC.

he following beautiful poem was written by NJ. G
is, an English poet, who died in 1873
Stay, TAILOR. say, and hear my woe
She IS MT mad who kneels to thee
Fur what I'm now, too well know,
And whatl was, and what should Be,
III rave no more in proud despair,
Ny language shall be mild, though sad
But yet III firmly, truly swear,
am not mad | am not mad
My husband forged the tale
Which binds me in this dismal cell.
My fate unknown my friends bewail,
Oh Jallor, haste that fate 70 tell
Oh haste my fathers heart to cheer
Ills heart al once twill gTieve and glad,
20 know, thou kept me ca ptive here,
am not mad ! am not mad
he smiles in scorn, and turns the KEY
lie quits the gate knet in vain
His glimmeEng lamp, still see
lis gone-and all is gloom again,
Gold, bitter cold-no warmth, no light!
Life all thy comforts once had
let here I'm chained this freezing night,
Although not mad no, no, not mad
lis sure some dream some vision vain
W hat the child Of rank and wealth;
And the wretch who clanks the chain,
Bereft Of freedom, friends and health 2
Al while dwell on blessings fled,
Which never more my heart must glad,
How aches my heart, how burns ny head,
But It's not no lis moi mad
Hast thou, my child, forgot ere this,
mothers face, mothers tongue
She'll ne'er lo-.et your pairing kiss.
Nor round her neck how fast you chung
Nof how with me you sued to stay;
Nor now that suit that sire forbade;
Nor how-l'll drive such thoughts away
Hhey'll make me mad-they'll make he mad
Ills rosy lips, how sweet they smiled
Ills mild blue eyes, how sweet they shons,
None ever bore lovelier child
And thou art nuYy for ever zone
Aud must never see thee more,
My pretty, pretty little lad
will be ffee-unblr the door,
am not mad am not mad
Oh, hank what mean those dreadful cries .
Ills chain some furious mailman breaks
Ike comes-I see his glarng eyes
Now. now, my dungeon CRATE he shakes.
HelP-help-he' gone-oh-fearful woe,
Such screams to hear, such sights to see,
My brain. my brain-i know, know
am not mad soon shall be.

Mark how yon demons eye balls glare

fIe whirs serpent high in air.
HoTror-lh reptile strikes his tooth
Deep in my heart! so crushed and sad
Az laugh, ye fiends, ! feel the truth
