HE jocund morn, in mantle gay,o).
The thades of night drives far a-
way

Bids o'er the skies mild Zephyrs run,
And comes the herald of the rifing fun.
Rife then, fair Anna, to my view,
The fportive Hours wait for you,
To take their paftime in the air,
And fweeteft pleasures for my love pre-
pare..

Rife, rife, my dove! all nature ftays,
And waits the triumph of these lays;
For fhould my thrilling numbers fail,
Again the fhades would o'er the world
prevail.

The queen of beauty ftays her Doves,
Her Smiles, her Graces, and her Loves:
Till you fair Anna deign to rife,
She will not quit for earth the brighter
fkies.

In ocean's courts Sol checks his car;
In vain Aurora's radiant ftar

Warns him to leave the watery main : He does for you his burning wheels reftrain.

She comes! fhe rifes to my view!
Ye jocund Hours, your sports purfue!
O Venus, give your Loves to play!
And glorious Sol, lead on the joyous
day!

THE THISTLE AND THE
DAISY.

BENEATH a tyrant thistle, grew

A little daffy fweet.

It humbly blufa'd beneath his fhade, And nodded at his feet.

It thriv'd beneath the tyrant's arm,

Smil'd on the barren waste : The tyrant's arm was kind to it, Kept off the bitter blaft.

So, oft, beneath some haughty lord, Juft like this little flow'r, 4 Some humble mortal lives and fmiles Beneath the tyrant's pow'r:

Too small a mark for fortune's blasts,
By thee, her arrows fing;
They often gall thy tyrant lord,,
But miss the humble thing.
Thy humble lot is ever bleft ar
Thy fortune is but small; ཉ་ ་ ་
But all thy days content and peace,
While his are ting'd with gall.
'Tis little nature afks; and that
To get, is all thy care;
And while thy lord is fick with wealth,
Thou'rt bleft with humble Fare.

Bleft happy fwain, that feeks no more!
Than juft enough to live,
All bounteous nature kind to thee,
Will ftill that little give.

FROM LORENZO DE' MEDICI, By WILLIAM ROSCOE. THY fplendid halls, thy palaces for[charm fupply? Can paths o'erfpread with thorns a Or, doft thou feek, from our feverer lot, Ljoy? To give to wealth and pow'r a keener Thus I replied" I know no happier life, [boat: No better riches, than you fhepherds Freed from the hated jars of civil ftrife, Alike to treach'ry and to envy loft. "The weed ambition 'midst your furrow'd field [find;

Springs not, and av'rice little root can Content with what the changing feafons yield,

SONNET
To Religion.

But now, alas! the scenes decay;
The vifions difappear!

With horrors grim, see dumb Despair
Defcending to my view;
While, from his hiffing (naky hair,
The arrows fly too true!—

Shield me! kind Fortune, from his aim !
O let thy wheel but move.
To better fate I lay no claim,
But plead my tender love!
Let not his arrows pierce my breaft,
Since thou haft pow'r to faves
Give to my heart its wonted rest,
Nor fill an early grave !
Thy aid alone I ask, to blefs

Me with Eudora's hand.
The tendereft love the doth confefs:
But friends my youth command.
Ah cruel friends! why thus deny
To crown our facred love?

Why will you thus my peace deftroy,
And flight the pow'r above?
Yet proudly they behold their pow'r,
And my dependent flate;
They fee misfortunes on me low'r,

And glory in my fate!
Thus, fickle goddefs, do I bend
Before thy crowded fhrine;
A pittance of thy aid but fend,
And dear Eudora's mine!

And what's more ftrange, I always
am with you-
With infects, birds, and beafts: in fhort,
[what not?
'Tis I diftinguish truly what is what.
