That we often derive sorrow from the sorrow of others is a matter of fact too obvious to require any instances to prove it; for this sentiment, like all the other original passions of human nature, is by no means confined to the virtuous and humane, though they perhaps may feel it with the most exquisite sensibility.

Oh ! when such Pairs their kindred Spirit find, When Sense and Virtue deck each spotless Mind, Hard is the doom that shall the union break, And...

" Resolv'd I go ! — nor from that fatal bourn " To these gay scenes shall ANDRE'S step return! " Set is the star of love, that ought to guide " His refluent bark across the mighty tide ! — ** But while my country's foes, with impious hand, " Hurl o'er the blasted plains the livid brand " Of dire sedition, Oh ! let Heav'n ordain, " While ANDRE lives, he may not live in vain!
