so eool, 110 calm, 10 bright,
The bri<'lal of the earth &nd eky,
The dew ebe.ll weep thy fe.ll to-night;
For thou must d1e.


B'l'l'eet rose, whose hue angry a.nd brave
Bids the rnah IP'zer wipe hie eye,
Thy root ia ever m its gra.ve,
And thou JPUet die.
Sweet spring, fall of sweet days a.nd roeea,
A box where sweets compacted lie,
Thy music ehowe ye have your eloees,
And all must die.
Onlr, a sweet tmd virtuous eoul,
Like eeaaon'd timber, never gives ;
Bu~ thoullh the whole world turn to ooal,
'.lllen chiefly livee. HB'IUIKRT.

And follows in the heavenly road,
And atepe where once an angel trocl,-

The mountaine rock, the beavena ~nd 1
The eun'a Jut ember cool a.nd quiver,
But Virtue .till ahall glow for ner I HOGG.

But wbe.t he doth at tlrst intend,
That he holda tl.J'mly to the eud. RERRIOlt.
