POET R y. —@©s©©©©©@— THE YEAR. JANUARY. LO! My fair, the morning lazy, Peeps abroad from yonder hiU; Phoebus rises red and hazy, Frost has Hop’d the village mill. FEBRUARY. AH round her looks fad and dreary; East the flaky snow descends : Yet the red breads chirr up cheery, While the nittend lass attends. MARCH. Rife the winds, and rock the cottage, Thaws the roof and wets the path; Dorca cooks the savory pottage Smoakcs the cake upon the hearth. APRIL. Sunfliine intermits with ardor, bhadcs fly fwiftly o’er the fields; Showers revive the drooping verture, Sweets the funny upland yields. M' A Y. Pearly beams the eye of morning: Child ! Forbear the deed unblefs’d ! Hawthorn eveiy hedge adorning, Pluck the flower—but spare the nest i JUNE. 'School-boys in the brooks disporting, Spend ,the sultry hour of play ; While the nymphs and Twain are courting, 1 Seated on the new-made hay. JULY. Maids with each a guardian lover, While the vivid lightning flies 5 Haflenmg to the nearest cover, t Clasp their hand before their eyes. AUGUST. See the reapers, gleaners, dining, Seated on the shady grass; O’er the gate the squire reclining, Wanton eyes each ruddy lass. SEPTEMBER. Hark ! A found like distant thunder, Murderer, may thy malice fail! Torn from all thy love asunder, Widow’d birds around us wail. OCTOBER. Now Pomona pours her treasure, Leaves autumnal drew the ground, Plenty crowns the market measure, While the mill runs briskly round. NOVEMBER. Now the giddy rites of Comus, Crown the hunter’s dear delight. Ah! the year is flitting from us, Bleak the d3y, and drear the night. DECEMBER. Bring more wood, and set the glafles, join, my friends, our Christmas cheer : Come, a catch!—and kiss the lasses Chnflmas comes but once a year. ANECDOTE.
