I I IE IDIOT: A BALLAD.
L had 'pleated God, to form
poor Ned
A thing of idiot mind,
A et to the poor unreafoningman
God hath not betn unkind.
Old Sarah lov’d the helplcfs child
Whom hclplcfthcfs made dear,
And life was happinefs to him,
Who had no hope nor fear.
She knew his wants,& underftood
Each haifartic’lare call
And he was every thing to her.
And flic to him was all.
And fo for many years they dwelt
Nor knew a with befide ■,
But age at length on Sarah came
And fine fell tick and died.
| He tried in vain to waken her,
And call’d her o’er and o’er,
They told him (he was dead—
the found
To him no import bore.
They clos’d her eyes, and
fhrouded her.
And he flood wend’ring by.
And when they bore her to her
grave,
He follow’d filently.
They laid her in the narrow houfe
They fung the fun’ral ftavc :
But when the furfiral train dif
perf’d,
He loiter’d by the prave.
* O
The rabble boys who us’d tojeer
Whene’er they faw poor Ned,
Now flood and watch’d him at
the grave.
And not a word they Did.
They came and went, and came
again.
Till night at laft came on,
And {fill he loiter’d by the grave
Till the reft were pone.
And when he foundhimfelfalone
He fwift removed the clay,
And rais’d the coffin up in hafte,
And bore it fwift away.
And when he reached jus hut,
he laid,
The coffin on the floor,
And with the eagernefs of joy.
He barr’d the cottage door.
And out he tcck his mother’s
corpfe,
And plac’d it in her chair,
And then he heap’d the hearth,
and blew
The kind’ling fire with care.
He plac’d his motherin herchair
And in her wonted place,
And blew the kind’ling fire,
that fhown,
Reflededon her face.
And paffing, now herhand would
feel,
And now her face behold,
f< Why, mother do you lock fo
pale.
And why are you fo cold ?”
It had pleas’d God from the
poor wretch,
His only friend to call,
But God was kind to him, and
foon,
In death re ft or’d him all. 1

The rcafons for this innovati

ceedingly great; too cumbctous
for admiffion into the mail, they

this has been a ccnftant fourcc

thofc difficulties will be avoid

The anxiety which refls upon
