ORIGINAL POETRY. S^3s£K3soS3ok: f Carpe Diem, Horace. j. 'tTTiiY thus tardy Delia’s Hay? W Haste my fair one haste away; Soft impatience bids thee come, Quickly to thy deftin’d home; There to join thy long loft friend, Taftc affeftion without end, There thy happy circle greet, By thy prefeuce made complete. Daring thus to prove the sea ! AH of thine will welcome thee; Gently too the north wind blow, When the lofty topsails flow, When the spreading canvass fweils And thy guardian virtue tells, Ocean proud in boift’rous wave, There my votarefs you have. Smooth the billow then ftiall move, In obeyfance to his voice; Waft thee to expeding love, { Waft thee to thy wifli’d for joys. Haste my lovely Delia haste, I.eft foine accident intrude, Hope the heft, forget the past, Banifli hence solicitude. So have I seen two ftreamlets spread, Through dark meand’iing maze, And meet again at fountain head, By unexpected ways. C-J-. 0 ANECDOTE.

The amorous Pricft was soon brought into the presence, and told of the charge preferred against him : for which he Hammered at an apology ; hut did not attempt to deny it. The Sovereign then told him as they had desired it, he must remove him from that Pariih, and was sorry for it; because it was a very good living. 4t But (added the facetious Monarch) you (hall not starve. I will give you a frontier D arith, where the people are not so flrait laced as your old friends; and where I nuunt / übjetts .
