IMPROVEMENT,
Come, bright Improvement on the car of time
And rule the spacious world froIa cline to CLINE.
Thy handmade Arts, shall every wild explore,
Trace every wave. and culture every shore
On Erie's banks, where tigeir steal along,
And the DIR cad Indian chants dismal song |:
Where human aends on midnight errands walk,
And battle in blood the murderous tomahawk;
There shall the focks on thymy pastures stray
And shepherds dance at summers opening day;
Each wandering genius OF the lonely glen
Shall start to view the glittering haunts of men.
NORFOLK.

The bees stirring birds are on the wing;
And autumn, siumbering in the open air.

Nor honey make, nor pair, nor build, nor sing.
WORK.
What though the Iron school Of war erase,
Each milder virtue and each softer grace
What though the fends torpedo touch arrest
Each gentler, finer, impulse of the breast
Still shall this active principle preside,
And give Ms water In gushing tide.
