From the Literary Magazine,
[Some of the most beaut'rfnl poems
of Hums are to be found amobg
his lyrics, contained in the fourth
▼olurne of Currie’s edition of
liij w orks. He wrote the most
of these after lie had been to
Edinburgh, after his taste had
been more cultivated, ar.d his
reputation more established. —
The two following pieces, ex
tracted from these, cannot fail
of meeting with a cordial recep
tion from our readers.]
BANKS OF OK EE.
HERE is ti e glen, ami here the
b<wer,
All underneath the beechcn
shade;
The village bell has toll’d the hour,
() what can stay iny lovely maid ?
’T's not Maria’s whispering call;
’Tis but the balmy ..breathing
g® l **, , .
Mixt win some warbler’s dying
fail,
The dewy stars of eve to hail.
It is Maria’s voice I hear !
So tails tiie ivood-lark in the
grove,
I!n little faithful mate to cheer,
At once ’tis music and ’us love.
.ADDRESS TO THE WOOD-DARKS.
O star, sweet warbling wood-lark,
s'uy, . |
Nor quit for me the trembling
spray
A-hapless lover courts thy lav.
Thy soothing, fond complain
ing- j
j
Again again, that tender part,
That I may canli thv melting art;
For surely that would touch her
heart,
Wlm kills me wi’ disdaining.
Say was thy little mate unkind,
And heard thee as the careless
wind ?
Oh, noclit but love and sorrow
join’d
Sic notes o’ woe could waken.
Thou tells o’ “?yer ending care, |
O’ speechless gtlef, and duik des
pair :
For pit y’s sake, sweet bird, nae
tnair 1
Or my poor heart is broken !
STANZAS.
WHY am I not the m w-blown
flow’r.
That decks tr.y fair Eliza’s
breast ;
Far though it live but one short
hour,
Who vv®uld not die to be so blest.
* *• . ...
Why am I net the gentle breeze !
That softly gliding o’er her face,
Is sure my charming fair to please,
And to her colour add such
grace.
Whv am I not the plaintive bird,
Whose songs afford her such
delight ?
That while bis thrilling notes are j
heard,
She thinks not of approaching ,
night.
Why am I not that limpid wave, ;
In which each cheerful summer j
day ; |
Her lovely form she’s wont to lave
And like the sportive Naiad play.

“ WOMAN, lovely woman !
Nature formed you to temper

We had been brutes without you — ;
There’s in you ali that we desire

Amazing brightness, purity and

Eternal joy ! St everlasting love!”

LOVE.
Love does not awaken in the
heart of a virtuos woman thole
violent feelings which are the
offspring of a delirious imagi
nation. It does not at once
occupy her (oul; it Reals into
if. It is not like a devouring
fire; but as the genial warmth
of spring, it animates and fera
tilifes. It is so timid and un

sembles friendfhip.
WOMAN.
Her elegant and delicate
figure charms the eye while it
awakens desire, and the bolom
of this new Hebe, agitated with
a sentiment which ihe cannot
define, fills the foul with invo
luntary perturbation. Tell me
what art is capable of embel-
Itfhing this ceicflial perfection p
: Would you cover it with dia_
I monds ? Would you load it
with parafitical luxury ? Oh
no ; every ornament would
conceal a grace, would rob it
of a charm. A iirnpie Sc light
robe, coinplaifantly accommo
dating itfelf to her ravishing
form, hair turned up with tafle
or flowing gracefully ; a single
role—and you will behold one
of thole elegant Sc airy nymphs
with which Aibani has embd

(•SWA an act enhances the value
ivhich every real republican has
for the character oj the excellent
author of the Spirit of La~ssi]
A gentleman, being at Mar
seilles, hired a boat, with an in
tention oi failing for pleasure ;
he entered into conveifation
with the two young rnen who
owned the vefTel, and learned
that they were not watermen
by trade, but lilver-fmitbs;
and that when they could be
spared from their usual busi
ness, they employed thein
felves in that way to encreale
their earnings. On expressing
his furprize at their condud,
and imputing it to an avaii
cions difpolition, ‘ Oh ! Sir,”
laid ihe young men, “ if you
knew our reasons, you would
aferibeit to a beiter motive.
Our father, anxious to alhll his
family, la aped together ail lie
was worth ; purchased a veil'd
for the purpose of trading to
the coalt of Barbarv, but was
unfortunately taken by a pi
rate, carried to Tripoli, and
fold for a Have.—He writes
word, that he has luckily fal
len into the hands of a mailer
who treats him with great hu
manity ; but that the lum de.
tnanded for his ransom is so
exorbitant, that it will be im
polhble for him ever to raise it ;
he adds, that we mull therefore
relinquilh ail hopes of ever fee
ing him, and be contented, that
he has as many comforts as his
iituation will admit. With the
hopes of relloiing to his fami
ly a beloved father, we are
driving by every honest means
in our power to coMefl the
lum neceflary for his ranlbm,
and we are not alhamed to em
ploy ourselves in the occupa
tion of watermen.” The gen
tleman was llruck with this ac
count, and on his departure,
made them a hand so me pre
sent.
“Some months afterwards
the young men being at woik
in their {hop, were greatly fur.
prised at the sudden arrival of
their father, wl o threw him
felf into their arms exclaiming
at the fame time, that he was
fearful they had taken foine un
just mathod to raise the money
for his ransom, for it was too
great a sum for them to have
gained by their ordinary occu
pation. They profclled their
ignorance of the whole affair,
and could only fufpehl they
owed their father’s release to
that stranger, to whole genero
sity they had been before so
much obliged.
“ After Montesquieu’s death
an account of this affair was
found among his papers, and
ihe sum actually remitted to
Tripoli for the old man’s ran
lom. It is a piealure to hear
offuenanabi of benevolence
performed even by a person
totally unknown to us; but the
piealure is infinitely encrealed
when it proves the union of
virtue and talents in an author
so renowned as Montesquieu.”
