serve well to exemplify the ruling merits of the
composition : —
" Where blooms the myrtle and the olive flings
Its aromatic breath upon the air ;
Where the sad bird of Night forever sings
Meet anthems for the children of Despair,
Who, silently, with wild
dishevelled
hair,
Stray through those valleys of perpetual bloom ;
Where hideous War and Murder from their lair
Stalk forth in awful and terrific gloom,
Rapine and Vice disport on Glory's gilded tomb :
'* My fancy pensive pictures youthful Love,
Ill-starred yet trustful, truthful and sublime
As ever angels chronicled above :
The sorrowings of Beauty in her prime ;
Vurtue's reward ; the punishment of Crime ;
The dark, inscrutable decrees of Fate ;

That not in fancy's maze he wandered long:
But stooped to truth, and moralised his song:
That not for fame, but virtue's better end,
He stood the furious foe, the timid friend,
The damning critic, half approving wit,
The coxcomb hit, or fearing to be hit;
Laughed at the loss of friends he never had,
The dull, the proud, the wicked, and the mad;
The distant threats of vengeance on his head,
The blow unfelt, the tear he never shed;
The tale revived, the lie so oft o'erthrown,
The imputed trash, and dulness not his own;
The morals blackened when the
writings
scape,
The libelled person, and the pictured shape;
Abuse, on all he loved, or loved him, spread,
A friend in exile, or a father, dead;
The whisper, that to greatness still too near,
Perhaps, yet vibrates, on his sovereign's ear:--
Welcome for thee, fair virtue!
