after an opprcssiyely hot a.ernoon-an evening Of
bamy breezes and soothing moonlight as peaceful and
lovely as If the millennium instead Of grim-rsGsed
war, ruled the land
When the sweet wind did gently Kiss the trees,
And they did make no nOisc-in such night
Troiins pcthinks mounted the Trojan walls,
And sighed his soul toward the Grecian tents
Where Crcssid lay that night.
In such night
Did Thisbe fearfuly o'ertrip the dew,
And saw the lions shadow ere himself,
And ran dsmayed away.
Stood Dido with "a willow In her hand
Upon the Wild sea-banks ard wait her love
10 come again to Carthage.
In such night
Medea gathered tho enchanted herbs
That did renew old lfson.
Ihore was but one thing lacking TO make perfection
and that was rain the earth terribly pGrched vege
taiion is dying under the MONDAY heat. and yoi no
rain But there seems at this moment 10 be some prom
ise Of a shower. May il come soOu and prove Gbund.
