THE TOAST.
Hy sIR vALTER SCOTT.

The feast is Ger Now brimmng wine
In lordly cup is seen to sh,ne
Before each eager guest,
And silence fills the crowded hall.
AS deep as when the herald's call
Thrills in the royal breast.
Then up arose the noble hest
Aud smiling cried, "A toast q toastl
To all our ladies fair,
Here before all, pledge the name
VI Staunton's proud and beauteous dame
The Lady Guudamere."
Then to his feet. each gallant sprung,
And joyous was the shout that rung
As Stanley gave the word:
And every cup was raised on high,
Nor ceased the loud aud gladstone cry,
Til Stanley's voice was heard
Enough, enough" he smiling said,
And lowiy bent his naughty head,
That all may have his due,
Now each in turn must play bis part,
And pledge the lady of his heart,
Like gallant knight and true"
Then one by one, each guest sprang up,
And drained in turn the brimming cup,
And named the loved ones name;
And each, as hand on high be raised,
His lady's grace or beauty praised.
Her constancy aud fame.
IT'S now Tt. Icons turn to rise;
On him are fixed those confess eyes
A gallant knight is he;
Envled by some, admired by all;
Far-tamed in ladies' bower and hall,
The flower Of chivalry.
St Leon raised his kindling eye,
Aud lifts the sparkling cup on high;

"Whose image never may depart,
Deep craven on this grateful heart,
Till memery be dead"
ITO one whose love for me shall last
When lighter passions long have passed,
So holy It's and true;
To one whose love hath longer dwelt.
More deeply fixed, more keenIy felt,
Than any pledged by you.
Each guest up. started at the word,
And laid hand upon his sword,
With fury flashing eye -
And Stanley said ave crave the name.
Proud knight, OF this most peerless dame,
Whose love you count so high
st. Leon paused, as if he would
Not breathe her name in careless mood,
Thus light to another.
Then bent his noble head as though
To give that name the reverence due,
And gently said, MY MOTHER"
