was an ironical bidding adieu to heart that
he had wantonly crushed But lady Byron
has, in defending herself from bis irony,
turned the tables on him most completely
Her reply is scatching, and naustbaye g cat
Byron " to the quick We call special at
Itention to the proud and noble defan6e. .ex-
pressed in the last verse. The poem has
doubtless been read by ell our readers but
It will repay another perusaI:
Yest stfareggsli-farcven forever.
Thou thyself hast axsd cur doom
Bade hopes farest blossoms uither,
Never again for to bloom
UafpgiEine thou hast called me-
Didst then ever say FoRGTvEg
For the wretch whose wiles beguled thee.
Thou alone didst seem olIve-
Short che space which tia,e has given
To complete thy loves decay
By unhallowedz passion driven,
Soon thy heart taught 70 stray.
Lived for that feeling tender
Which thy verso well can show.
From my arms shy didst thou wander.
DIy enaearmenH Why f1regol
on. tate tly breast was bared,
Oh, too late to was shown.
That thy love but shared.
And already IL IS fovR-
NraPt IN dreams Joy abiiing.
-On thy breast my head hath lain,
In thy 1--we and truth confdihg
Bliss 7 ne'eT Sap know again,
That dark hour did drst discover
Iutay soul the hideops stain
Would these eyes had closed forever
Ne-er TO weep Thy crimes sgain.
But the impious WISH 0 Heaven
From thy record bOtted be;
Yes. would live, Byron
For the babe I've borne for tlee!
Ia whose lovely features Get me-
Az my Eeakness here confess.
Whilst the struggling tears permit uae.) 10 af.E ;

He whose image Still l prise.
Who this Btterest feeling gave me-
Still to leTe where 7 desrise,
