POETRY. 3t£5&50£500£ An ELEGIACK SONNET. WIERE is my lover, and my friend? Surely he will not linger long; He early us’d to seek my cot, And cheer me with his dulcet song. Where is my lover, and my friend ? Sadder the pensive twilight grows; Its latest gleams are now no more, The fereech owl flaps, the north wind blows. Where is my lover, and my friend ? Hark I the hoarse thunder steels around ; Nearer and louder are its peals : The livid lightnings lkii» the ground. Where is my lover, and my friend ? The florm is pafl, the Iky is clear ; I’ll leave my cot, and trace the path, Which, each dear evening, brings him here. Where is my lover, and my friend ? My eye darts o’er the mead, the vale : He is not there !—What 1 caus’d his flay ? I’ll chide nor listen to his tale. Where is my lover, and my friend ? Perhaps he loiters thro* the grove; I’ll thither bend my eager Heps— Guide them, kind fortune, to my love $ There is my lover, and my friend ! I know his dear, his graceful form ; Yon lofty oak supports his head— Its foliage kept him from the florm. O speak, my lover, and my friend I See ! anxious thro’ the night I came; I scorn the babbling neighbour’s talk, Nor heed their comments, or their blame. Oh gracious God! my hair upheaves Thou didll the blasting lightning fend : I fink; oh neighbours, dig the grave— I join my lover, and my friend. / THE following appeals will be tried before his Honor the Governor in Council, on Thursday the sth of July next: David Grefliam, T 41 2 acres in the vs. V reserve of Greene Thomas Welborn, 3 county.
