On CLO E, Sleeping.
HUSH to peace, each ruder wind;
Purling rill!—in silence roll;
While on rosy bed reclin’d,
Sleeps the charmer of my foul.
Chafle Diana! watch my treasure;
Guard her beauty from alarms :
Let no Satyr’s brutal pleasure,
Dare invade her blooming charms#
I, thy Soldier* mud away ;
Then adieu! thou lovely fair;
Should’ft thou wake, and bid me flay,
Courage would difiblve to air.
A DUBLIN ANECDOTE.
DURING the late difturbancesin Ireland,
a Judice, charging a company of sol
diers with rcmiflhefs in their duty, upon their
excusing themselves from firing upon a party
of the rioters, under pretence that some wo
men and children were among them, repeat
ed in his orders, that in future, whenever
three living creatures were seen together,
they diould be treated as rioters, and fired
upon accordingly. Some of the company, it
seems, for fafety, were quartered in his Wor
ship*B house, and, upon the emergency of
the occasion, were to lie in a large lumber
room on the fame floor with his Worfhip’s
chamber; this, not being opened a conside
rable time before, swarmed with fleas in such
a manner that the men could not sleep. They
had underflood, from a charge given them by
the servants, his Worfhip’s partiality for a"
• morning’s nap, and thought that an intrusion
upon that would be a kind of a compenfatiou
for the badness of their lodging. In pursu
ance of this idea, at daylight, a general dis
charge ot their pieces was agreed upon.—
The report so alarmed the Judice, that, run
ning out of lain chamber, and not finding an
attack had been made by the enemy, he angri
ly infilled upon knowing the reason of their
firing, Sec. without his orders. ** Did not
your Worthip (fays the ferjeant) order usto
fire at any three living creatures met together
at one time ?” “ Yes,” was the aufwer.
** Then, by Jafus {continued he) we have
been pedered all night by above three thou
sand of them, and if your Worthip will be
pleased to barricade the chamber door, all
that we have not killed may be made pri
soners ! ’ This hint was taken, the room
cleared and aired the fame day, and all the
soldiers in the town properly accommodated
during their flay.
