Sudden, plump, he sinks beneath them-
Does to ruthless waves bequeath them.
Name or title, what has he?
Is he regent of the sea?
From the difficulty free us,
Buffon, Banks, or sage Linnæus!
With his wondrous attributes
Say-what appellation suits?
By his bulk and by his size,
By his oily qualities,

This, or else my eye-sight fails,

This should be the Prince of Whales.

ON THE LETTER I.
(Written in a Lady's Scrap-Book.)

I AM not in youth, nor in manhood, nor age,
But in infancy ever am known;

I'm a stranger alike to the fool and the sage,
And though I'm distinguish'd in history's page,
I always am greatest alone.

I am not in earth, nor the sun, nor the moon;
You may search all the sky-I'm not there:

In the morning and evening-though not in the noon,
You may plainly perceive me-for, like a balloon,
I am midway suspended in air.

I am always in riches, and yet I am told

Wealth ne'er did my presence desire;

I dwell with the miser, but not with his gold,
And sometimes I stand in his chimney so cold,
Though I serve as a part of the fire.

I often am met in political life

In my absence no kingdom can be;

And they say there can neither be friendship nor strife, No one can live single, no one take a wife,

Without interfering with me.

My brethren are many, and of my whole race
Not one is more slender and tall;

And though not the eldest, I hold the first place,
And even in dishonour, despair, and disgrace,
I boldly appear 'mong them all.

Though disease may possess me, and sickness and pain,
I am never in sorrow or gloom;
Though in wit and in wisdom I equally reign,
I'm the heart of all sin, and have long lived in vain,
Yet I ne'er shall be found in the tomb.

TO MY DEAR MARY ANNE.
ADIEU to sweet Mary for ever!
From her I must quickly depart:
Though the fates us from each other sever,
Still her image shall dwell in my heart.
The flame that within my breast burns
Is unlike what in lovers' hearts glows;

The love which for Mary I feel

Is far purer than Cupid bestows.

I wish not your peace to disturb,
I wish not your joys to molest;
Mistake not my passion for love,

'Tis your friendship alone I request. Not ten thousand lovers could feel

The friendship my bosom contains;

It will ever within my heart dwell,
While the warm blood flows through my veins.

May the Ruler of Heaven look down,
And my Mary from evil defend!
May she ne'er know adversity's frown!
May her happiness ne'er have an end!
Once more, my sweet Mary, adieu!
Farewell! I with anguish repeat;

For ever I'll think upon you,

While this heart in my bosom shall beat.

STANZAS.

I HEARD thy fate without a tear,
Thy loss with scarce a sigh;

And yet thou wert surpassing dear—
Too loved of all to die.

I know not what hath sear'd mine eye:
The tears refuse to start;

But every drop its lids deny

Falls dreary on my heart.
Yes-deep and heavy, one by one,

They sink, and turn to care;
As cavern'd waters wear the stone,
Yet, dropping, harden there.
They cannot petrify more fast

Than feelings sunk remain,
Which, coldly fix'd, regard the past.
But never melt again.

THE END.
