Introductory Notice.
The poem, now offered to the
public, is founded upon adiftrefling
cirrumftanct which occurred in Ire
iaftd in the year iSoS.
It is related in a Dublin paper of
the 31ft December, and the lan
guage of the editor being that of
truth and unaft £led fcelirg, the
author has not found ©ccaft mate
rially to alter it.
A gentleman, the youngeft fonof
a benifked clergyman of high rei
pflability, paid his addreiLs to a
young lady of faintly and fortune
reft ting m the fame neighborhood.
Her uncle (under whole guardian
ihip fhe was unhappily placed) had
determined to unite her to wealth
and rank, and chofe rather to fee
her fplcndidiy miferablc than made
happy with a genteel competency.
The lady’s fuuor was a ph\ fu iar,
who feme time previous had taken
the uluai degree, with the moft pro
m fi *g hopes o( fuccel* in hii pro
fcfli n j his education polite and
clafTical, added to an amiable dif
petition and the m ft acccmpbihcd
manners, could net fail of makn g
an impirili>m on the young ladv
his conduct towards hot teft ii*d hss
regard ; and in a ihort time lie was
btLvcd with ardor. Innumerable
were the obftacles i&i.vo by the u
clc in orcck 3 to prevent their union j
he remofift rated r<r. the impropriety
of placirg her afFedk/ns on a p*r
fon not p< ftcrfl and of cn<r fa ll g,
and who tcuid no expc&a ions,
either now or hereafter of any pa
ter r al fortune ; and in hopes of ali
taating her regard for her lover, he
introduced into the family a ro j r
in the army, and ar the fame me
informed her fhe was to cos.fider
him as her future
Terms that be did net p IT (s any of
thole nice feelings of honor and l*n
ftoili'cy which fliould ever be cha
raderifticj of a folditr*—he was told
cf her predihdlton for ar.other,
which rculT ever prevent his pre
vailing upon a hr art io completely
devoted to Mr. * * * * who was
then in Brita*n and his arrival daily
cxpfEUd. This candid appeal had
no tffed; as he had the uncle’*
conlent, he cor fidered there was
no other obftaclc remaining;. In
vain did this amiable young lacir,
bathed in tears, er.deavor to dif
fuadc her uncle frcoi hi* cruel pur
pofe. The weddirg day was ap
po’nted, the clr gvrran arrived, and
wirlv ftient ft IF rug compofure, fhe
allowed the fa'ftl cercmr.n tc be
performed. The untie, however,
was foun convinced ©f h s mhurnan
it —fhe had previf ufl aken in
presence of her own maul, a cup of
tea, m xed as ir afrprwards appear
ed, with a conftderablt quantity of
arltafc. She faid it was the nr -ft
delu iuu? draught fhe had ever tail
ed. Towards me ciofe cf the evea
irg fhe became much lndifpofied,
and in a few hours after, breathed
her laft. On her drafting table was
left a ftu>rt note, addreftfed to her
guardian upon which the following
verfes are founded. Maria wai in
her 20th year: to the beauty of her
form, ar.d the excellence of her na
tural difpofttion, a patent equally
indulgent and attentive (who died
two years Gnce) had done the lull
eft: juflicc. To accomplifh her
manners and cultivate her mind,
every endeavor had been ufed, and
tr.ey had been attended with fuccefs.
Few youi g ladies ever attracted
more admiration 5 none ever tele it
let*. She died when every tongue
was eloquent of htr virtues, when
every hope was ripening to reward
them. Ii is needlefs to tell how ie
vtrely the old gentleman now ac~
cufes hss own week conduft • nor
can he ever foig.ve himielf the
wanton fatr fiic o 1 youih, ianucfnce
and virtue, to unavailing wtalth and
faftunnabie folly.
Thifc i refents a very fmill view
of the *f\ l dbon occafioned : but it
mav teach parent* whom heaven has
bleffcd with children, rather to make
them happy than great, nor violate
thofe feelings which they have enly
a right to guide.

Joys ever new, and vifions ever bright ,
When through my frame youth's genial

When hopes were high, and love tho %

Each feeling rapture, every fans a

Evftn then I thought, each earthly blifs

A mother's tranfports, ft? a hufband's

Scarce was the warm wijh form'd

In manly beauty's model was enfhr'tned,

When love acknowledg'd duty's Jlerner

And from tbefe arms ke parted for a,

To feek the balls if art in Albion's

Beneath yon foreji's deep-embowering
