IMPROYISATORE.
BY PAUL soBoLEsK

BY PAUL 5000 ESKl.
do not-do not envy kings,
Their mighty splendor and their thrones;
No no all those low, trivial things,
My pensive, wearied heart disowns
Nor do care for gathering wealth,
That drives so many to the grave;
A mind at rest, and lasting health,
Is all that ever shall crave
For all the things that now see,
Although so splendid they may seem:
To me they are but vanity
A trifing, and transient dream!
| do not care for glories vain,
The thoughtless world so much adores;
Nor should e'er of fate complain
If / were kept from fashions doors
cannot list to irksome talk,
OF the pretended birth and pride;
For we'll know deaths fatal stroke
Forever shall these follies hide
A time shall come when rich and poor
In one sad grave foreer shall lay;
No one their doom shall then deplore,
Whilst their vain dust earth shall array.
AS soon as life has disappeared
All to obllylon's grave are gone;
And hopes that once have gaiy cheer'd
Their beings bright, are past, and done.
| see the grand and snowy busts
Der the dead that fate did Danish;
Enshrined beneath remain their dusts-
Fixed for awhile-thel doom'd to vanish
For me it would be all the same,
Wild weeds or roses DER my grave;
| know my humble state and name,
Shall have the rest the great now have
Yet there's being now on earth,
Whose spirit bright-shall never die;
Her heart as pure as angels mirth-
Her tones as gentle as sigh.
But this is a mere passing dream,
-e The heart perchance will have to mourn;
IT'S but the Weakening of the Past
OF days that never will return.
But my sad Lutte is now unstrung
| must~pot sing theme so sad
" The spell is broke" the heart So wrung-
The future may once more make glad
LIES weary dream will soon De Ger
The heart no more shall feel oppressed;
The bitter tears will flow no more
I, For then shall be unceasing rest.

and cripple the presses engaged in their advoca-
