Beyauxer 10 emphatically the poet OF homey
things; the minstrel Of society. His ingenious
fancy could weave the mosi beautiful thoughts out
of themes that in other hands woaid have beer
barren, if not repulsive. Here 10 address to n
OLD COAT, exquisite poetry, the most prosaic
theme in the world. The transla ton is executed
fairly, almost elegantly Boston Transcript.
Be faithful still. thou poor dear coat of mine!
We, step for step, are both becoming old;
Ten years these hands have brush'd that nap of
thine,
And Socrates did never more hold.
When to fresh tear and wear the time to be
Shall force thy sore thinn'd texture to submit
Be philosophic and resist like me:
Mine ancient friend, we must not sunder vet
Full we'll mind, for forget not much,
The day that IA thee first upon me put:
My birthday twas, and browning touch
Unto my pride, my friends all praised thy cut.
Thy isdigence, which Goes me no disgrace
Has never caused these kindly friends 10 fit;
Each at my fsfe yet shows a glsdsome face:
Mine ancient friend, We must not sunder yet.
goodly darn on thy skirts espy roe rr..
And thereby hangs sweet remembrance still.
Felgning one eve from fond Lisette to liy,
She held by thee to baulk my seeming will.
The tug was iollow'd by grievous rent,
And then her side of course ] could not quit;4i
Two days Lisette that vast darning spent:
Nine ancient friend, we must not sunder yet.
Have s'er made thee reek with musky seams,
Such your self-admring fools exbale,
Have L exposed thee, courting great mems
beams,
To levee mock or antechamber rail?
strife for ribbons all the land of France,
From side to side, well-nigh asunder split;
From Thy lapel nothing but wild flowers glance:
Mine ancient friend, we must not sunder yet.
Fear no renewal of those courses vain,
Those madcap sports which once employ'd our
hours:
Hours of commingled ioyfulness and pain,
OF sunshine chequefed here and there with
showers.
lrsther ought, methinks thy faded cloth
From every future service to acquit;
But wait awhie-one end will come to both
Mine ancient friend, we shall not sunder yet.
