On INGRATITUDE.
Jt/o<iv , blow, thou Winter s wind,
Thou art not so unkind
As man's ingratitude .
Shakefpear.
RISE, rife, ye gloomy clouds, ye thunders roll,
And flafhy lightning dart from pole to pole !
Ye gulls of wind, blast all my tender brood !
You’re not unkind as—black ingratitude.
Ope’, ope’, thou earth, in frightful chasms wide,
And thou, O fca, press in a dreadful tide,
’Till the gross matter dread the course purfu’d :
You’re not unkind as—black ingratitude.
Sun, Sun, unto the day deny thy light;
And thou, Diana, to the fable night;
You too, ye liars of every magnitude;
You’re not unkind as—black ingratitude.
Can then thou the base-born fiend, the evil drear,
Dwell in the heart and foul of thee, my dear j
Oh ! with what ardency thy charms I’ve view’d !
And my return I*.—black ingratitude.
Ingratitude ! to sense of feeling blind !
Thou dark and fell corroder of the mind ;
Thy flow' but furc cunfuming fires (hike home,
And fry the pith feclufe within the bone.
Shudder then, Earth, thou indigelled speck 1
And as all flelli, become an hapless wreck ;
For thou, and all maukind are much as one:
And what’s the nether world when life is gone ?

power, or pofl'efled of influence, throughout the union, the
subscribers are induced refpefifuilv to solicit the patronage of
the fiee citizens of North-America for *

111. No endeavours (hall be spared to procure as great a
variety of original eflays, inftrucfive and entertaining, as
the nature and extent of the work will admit. The number

determined so to conduct the undertaking, as to merit the
public attention ; for which purpole every exertion lhall [ e
made on our parts :—and tee generous support of which we
have been allured, added to the high estimation we hive
conceived of the taste, liberality and patriotic spirit of our
respectable fellow-citizens, juftify our confidence of success.
