Dost thou not know love thee moro,
And with heart that's tendercr far,
Than this young, stupid, graceless bore, ;"
Whom now yod call your guiding star.

Tomake thecspause md think awhile;
To turn thy soul from one sorough,
| And give to me, at least 8 smilep
love thee with n love that's true
Apassion thatis all thine ruwp;
Not like this clown, your hand sue,
| To win, perhaps, and then-disown.
Because the smile of bcauiy's hue
Is now upon thy fond young cheek
This awkward swain declares to you,
His love is not boyish freak.
Alas! that you should hear his tale,- ao

Because, forsooth, in fortunes scale,
lie o'crstrips others in the race!
Ought not man with dollars less,
Whose heart is truc-nobly honest, 80
Whose aim it is thy life to bless, It's
BE an equal with the greatest?

Caused lovers dear, apart to rove.

When watched fast my Coming doom;
When ev'ry hope of loye's delight .-
Was changed for Ger to blacklist rloon
When from thy lips my fatc was sealed
When to my face you gently said:-
''To me n sad fate has reveald t

But 'gainst the Few Icanha 60

Whose aim in life, is madly fraught
