Lady ! not fur her we 1 igh,
Loosing eny fashen's dye,
And her charms to ev'ry eye
Revealing :
Bui we love the pretty maid
In sweet nodes ty array'd.
All her hiqut'us ‘math its shade
Conce ding,
Lady ! when with graceful care,
Ton would deck-yotir bosom fair,
Or your wanton flowing hair
IVith roses —
Ah ! you throw the flowdre away ,
Which open, glares upon the day :
The modest bud more sweets, we say,
Discloses.
HUMAN LIFE,
La Mo the h Vayer is astrniaent inlhnce
of the fina.l portion of happinefa we taste in
this life. To the eyes of the world, this learn
ed mao appeared encircled by felicity ; but he
fays, ‘ Life alone seems to me a thing so indif
ferent, to fay nothing more to its dilad vantage,
t!:at 1 am so far from ever defiling to ran the
race again, that I would not exchange the few
days which remain to me, in so advanced an
age as mine, for the many years which a great
number of young people, whose pleasures I
know, promise themfebes. I could swear to
the troth cf this, as well as Cordan, whose
words 1 quote, rather for their good fenffe than
their elegance. They were to this purport —
By G—, I would not crchm gc my httie for
tune, even in my old age, with yhe riche ft young
-man who has no experience.” Bayle has rea
f ned on tbi3 declaration of La Motive le Vayer,
with hi 3 aecullomed sagacity. He enhmerates
the various enjoy meats of the fehohr, who, even
iu an advanced period cf life, retained ail the
•vigor of his mental and corporeal faculties.—
He married, at abor t feveuty, the daughter of
rut ambaffadpr, and his wife was a strew. He
pul'idled several works alter his marriage, and
they gave no marks of dotage. He was hon
ored by the French nation,, and liberally pen
honed by the court. He had titles and em- ,
ploymeats j h:3 multifarious works fold well, 1
What therefore could be wanted, in thfe rich ,
a non it of human felicity, to complete the hap-j
pinefs of Le Vayer ?
Cicero, in his Treaties on Old Age, declares,
that if the gods offered to replace him once
more in the cradle, he would reje£l the offer—
for that life had nothing to recommend it. Sir
‘William Temple, with easy ■ elegance fays,—
(i That human life, is at the great est mid the
heft, but Lite a froward child, that mnft be
played with, and humoured a little, till it falls
asleep !—and ‘.hen the cares are over.’ The
poetess Sappho imagines, “that to die is an
evil : the gods have so determined it, or else
they would and e themselves.” What a forcible
epitaph an Arabian poet composed, to have in
feribed on his torr.b. “ This crime did my fath- j
cr commit agaiuft me, but I have not committed
the fame agaiuft any.”
