From th: Span ft of Crrv inlts,
EY MR. F YE.
MOTHER, with watchful eye you ftnvc
My freedom to rcltrain ;
But now, unless 1 guird mjfclfi,
Tour guard will be but vain :
It lias been fa.il, and reason’s voice
Confirms the ancient lay,
Kor will confinement’a rigid hand
JEnflaine the wilh to Stay.
Love, once oppress’d, will soon cncrcafe,
And strength superior gain ;
*Tv/cre better far, believe my voice,
To give my will the run ;
Fj r h r, who will not guard herfflf,
No other guar’d you’ll fin J ;
Cunning and fear w.il w.sk be found
‘i’o chain the active amid.
Tiio’ death Ihmfelf Ihouid liar my way,
His menace I’d ilifc tin ;
Then learn that till I guard rryfelf
Your guard will (liii ie Vuin.
Tii- raptur'd h art which once h&B ft!t
i\ fenie oi love’s dr light,
Tires the Moth’s uiijK lulls wing,
To ii and the Tapei’s li^ht-
IS. t'ijufiiid guards, a thousand cares,
Will i,c’cr the viid rJliuin,
Tor if i do not gmrd myiclf,
All other guard* arc vain.
Such is tb; all-co’itroling scree
Cil Love’s ref .Ufa itornl,
It gives to Beauty’s faireil lliapo
1 he due Cliuneia’s form.
To wjx the melting bread it turns,
Flame o’er the check is fprtad,
With hands ol wool Ute ope,. the door,
Ou lelt the foot 11 p, Head.
Then try no mure with fiuitlcfs care
My withes to uili,lin,
For if Ido not gun J iiivjilf,

To warnoi6 alone does it be

lu the n.tdil of all ti,e ciifor
cVrs of ca i.ps, and of all txccs
iVs ink-parable fro a civil war,
humanity took rctuge under his
tent, and was never lepulled
from it. In triumph, in atlvtr
fitv, he was always tranquil as
wildom, simple as virtue. The
tender etbecuons had thnr habi
tations in tnc bottom of his
hear;, even in thole n oments
when the interelf of the eaule in

nophics and vi<f.tori-s. The es
teem inspired oy the charade 1
if the American General, con
cnbu ed more eff. ctjaily ina.
h. aru sto me independence oi
his country.
As soon as the treaty of peace
•vas signed, he rtfigned to tht
Erngrcis ail the powers with
wiiich he lud been invelied.
Againit his brwilde.-ed compat
riots he would not employ any
other arms than those of periua
lion. Had he been governed
oy vulgar and leifiih a nbition,
ie m:‘/n; have crushed the no-
Lj
becih y or ail the divided fac
tions, and when no conlhtutioi.
t-Xiiled to oppose a barrier to au
dacious cnierpnze, he would
have leizetl ou supreme power,
ociore the laws I.a itguiuied us
exuicdu and eftajl.!h_d its li
mua —Hut thele laws were pro
v iiteJ by hiiiilelf with inflexion

of the ftce voice ol his teliow

dimmed it ; he would not ton-

Cui.li icu within legal bounds; in

parts more of tra:.q ility tiiaii

that 1 allude ; good kmc, whole

tunc to rcinllate in ad its rights
and _j re.ogattves. Audacity
ddlroys, gemous creaies, good

peifeißion. On gen.us depends
tiie glory of empires ; but good
icnfe alone can inlure their re
pose and duiation,
Wafhir.gton was born to an
i: heritance which he had nobly
inc-eased, like the heroes of an
cier.t Rome, in the midll ol
agricultural labors.—Altho’ an
enemy to vain pomp, he wilhed
chat republican manners ihould
be environed by foir.e dignities.
None of his compat iots cherilh
ed a more ardent love of iibeity j
none deprecated ir.ore the iruu
opitiions of lo.ne demagogues
His mind the IrienJ of order,
conftanviy fiiunned ail excels.
He dared not to inl’uit the expe
rience ot ages ; he wilhed nei
ther to change nor to ucitroy e*|
very th a* once ; in th's res
uedt hi i; -iied to the doftrin
of t'.e le„ illators of antiqjity.
Like them, Wafhingcon go
‘cxned rather by the Lntimen:.
uid .'.ffeciions than by nrundatt
i. laws } like them he wa
tirnplc, although he was leatc
n the pinnacle of honor; lik.
-hem he ftill great in tin
tna-ies of retirement. He
cepted power only to eitao! fi
public ptolperity j he would nt
consent to relume it, w'hen h
law thxt America was Lapp
and had no further need ol 1 .
Icvotion of his fervifes. H
