BY COL y. n. rE1TiT.
Prcsumptuous thought and would ye dar'
rrofnne this sacred page;
Where bnrds whose brows the bright bays wear
Might proudly write to please the fair,
And beauty's smile engage
Where virtuous thoughts that calmly rise
On seraph wings to heaven,
Might tune the heart to future joys,
And By their purity suffice -....
10 make a world forgiven.
And where some happy youth might siglr
Soft strains in beauty's ear, ..s.
And loves unpassion'd thoughts convey
To win her eyes approving ray
Or sympathetic tear.
But stay what madness prompts thy pen
To scrnwl so vainy there,
When she who owns the leaf shall view -
1t so disgraccd, she'll doubtless then
Thy verse to fragments tear. ss.
All but ne shall never know
Th'y were so justly riven;
I'll fondly fancy that glow
Of mercy thry' her breast will flow,
And that tho faults forgiven.
