Comeso'er the councils Of the brave
Aud blasts them In their hour OF might
Nay Lilies uubleased cup for him
Be druSge'd with treacleries to the brim
With hopes that but allure TO ny
With Joys tiIat vanish while he sips
Like dead sea fruity that tempt the eye
But turn 70 GGheS on the lips
Ills Countries curse, his ehildFens shame
OuteaSt Ofvirtus peace, aud fame
May he, at last, with tips OF name
On the parched desert thirsting die
While lAkes that Ghone In Knockers nigh,
Arr fading on, untouched, untasted,
Like the Ohse glorious hopes he boAsted
And, when from cath his spirit nies
JltIt IF0phef, let the dAmn'd one dwell
Full In the sight OF PaFadlse,
Beholding hearel, and feeling lieu,
