ORIGINAL SONG.
TWritten by William Roscoe, esq. to
whom the* world is indebted for
the hiltory of Lorenzo Je Medici ,
and his lon, I.eo X. on occasion
of Mr. Brougham's* losing his e
le&ion as a representative for
Liverpool in the Enelifh parlia
ment, by the prevalence of the
miniflerial influence ]]
The fair face of morning w hen sud
den UouJs cover,
And tempefls and daiknefs en
velope the day ;
Shall the gloom of the moment de
ter the true lover
Who hafles to the home of his
niiltrefs away ?
When heav’d from its base, proud
ly swells the vest ocean,
And dangers ride high on the
crest of the wave;
Undaunted the mariner fees the
commotion,
And bares his bold bosom the
fea-fterm to brave.
Then fay, {hall the Patriot e’er
prove a recoiler ?
Shall the champion of Freedom
e’er (loop to despair ?
Shall he basely reflgn to the hands
of the spoiler
The prize that high heaven has
confign’d to his care ?
No—still to his toil with frefli vigor
returning,
He (hall wage the bold war with
corruption again ;
As the lion, that rous’d by the beam
of the morning,
Shakes off the light dew-drops
that hang on his mane.
Jf he falls, like the warrior he falls
on liis duty,
Whilst his country (hall hail him
and angels approve;
If he conquers, he wins from the
bright hand of beauty
The wreath wove by Liberty,
Eriendfhip, and Love.
•Our readers will remember Mr.
Brougham’s exertions for the re
peal of the Orders in Council.
He has long been the advocate of
truth and the friend of humanity.
Mr. Brougham brought into parlia
ment the “ slave-trade felony bill,”
which produced the mod beneficial
effects in narrowing the range of
‘.hut imr.ious and inhuman tnfl;v.

ANECDOTE.
During the p-elent blockade of
New-London, the celebrated Dr.

visit to the lormer place, with a
view of examining the (late of the

concluded to deliver adifeourft—a
crouded audience attended, princi- j
pally composed of the soldiers and
iailors on duty thtre. The I)r.
took for his text “Fear God, and
honor the King—in the course
of his Sermon he ha J frequent oc
casion to repeat the words of his
text. One of the Tailors belonging
to the Macedonian was observed to

“ Honor the King,” the tar could
no longer reffrain his indignation,
supposing the Dr. alluded to the
King of England ; he rose up and
audibly exclaimed, “ Fear God,
and honor the Congress; but let
