Tne time with mighty uee06 IL 1rrught:
And there By the broad lakes grass bou nj shors
Each fairy sprite her task is taught
Subject by my Ugh command
Ye are called from Fairy Land
To destroy his demon band.
Rest not, then, by ri ght or day,
Til her spells are torn away
Opens to the true and brave.
Depart for see the ight hath met the day,
Your Queens commands are known Away, away.
Near Bsgdsd's fair and stately towers, If
Within forests gloomy shade,
Projected by a demon powers,
Their deeds are marked by blood and death
And iercer than the simoon's breath
Sweeps Ger the deserts sandy track,
Their war-crJ sounds along the plain,
=, The pressge of approaching strife;
0rav'rce in pursuit. of gain
Before their cayern's mouth a rock
Hid from the passing tray Ter view
Guarded the treasures of the crew. ...-.
In b. glad, child of honest labor
A w0Odman dwelt, named Ali BAHIA. 30
man whose honesty, sound and pure.
Had given him fame m but he was poor
To glory and honor paved the way.
Few homes there are, however mark d BY care,
But hold some charm to cast sunshine there;
Excluded joys that make rich mansions warm
Poor All found for a! the III. Of life,
The Kind. fond soothings of faithful wife.
What though the food was scarce, the rsinent
Howe er the world might frown, her smile was
One day while in the forest Ali found ,,u,

iAh, well its notes did Ali heed . .
And now the fair and grassy lawn
From deeds of plumber, and such crime

The wealth for which they dear.
Lodged on the tree, prey to wild alarm,
And When pt the bandits leave the spot ssain.

OF wealth Is boundless as Golconda' IS mines
With trembling heart he pears the magic rock,
And there in Stores that make his senses blind,
The metal lies which governs all mankind.
"Worh, marks the man,S all children learn at
But late experience gives different rule.
And life now modelled on the "shoddy" plan

Till treacherous memor, forgot the charm,

There on thy worship sald sits spectral DAN
Hark hsrk! they come! they find him sittin:
Mid wealth untold the picture Of despair
And hapess cassim Bsbs,s life blood i aows.

And swiftly the feet of the dancers fall
And lightly their fair forms glide

And deceit is read in his cold reply,

Its cares and griefs are o Nef;
Thy bark hath left the stormy sea,
And safely nears the shore.
