Pyrrho, what youth beneath a

Where paily blooms the roseate

Now longs to press thee i;i liis
arm*,
While “uz'ng, raptur’d on thy
Charms,
Those charms expos’d with fatal
art,
To win his unexperienc’d heart.
How of, will he, unpractis’d youth,
in of grais & injur’d truth ;
How oft in wildest wander gaze ;
On roaring Ocean’s white, capt
Vi hicli, by the North wind,
mov’d uprise,
.As if to comb, t with the skies.
While prest within tliv circling
arms,
He s>ps i|>e nectar of thy charms,
Y aii.Jv he hopts that tiiou wilt
prove,
Forever faithful to his I, ve;
Hut beaut mis as droit art he’ll find,
i iiat thou art iitkic as the w ind.
Wretched are they to whom

You slmie, array’d in beauty’s

For me, in potent Nipt mu* now,

a ballad.
by thom.as Moore.
’ and hev tell oi a young man who
losi Ins mind upon the death of
a gnl lie loved ; and who, sncl.
tie nly disappearing from his
f’ ieods, was never afterwards
lieard of. As he had frequently
said in h;s ravings, that the girl
vas not dead, but gone to the
Dismal Swamp, it is supposed lie
had wandered into that iliiaiy
wilderness, and had died ol hun
ger, or been lost in some of those
dreary morasses.’’ Attonvmoos.
II They made her a grave too
cold and damp,
“ lor a soul so warm and true;
“ And she’s gone to ihc lake of Hit
Di.-mal Slu m;,-,
“ V oere all night long, by a
lirc-liy iauifi,
<l the paddles her w hite canoe,
“ And her lire-ily lamp I soon
shall see,
“ ami her paddle I soon shall
hear :
“ Long ami loving our lives shall
be.
“ And I’ll hide the maid in a cy
press tree,
“ Wlr.ii the foostep of Death is
1 ear
Away to the Dismal Swamp he
speeds;
His path was rugged aid sere—
-1 hrongii tang.cu juuipu—Beds
ol reeds—
Through uunv a fen where the
serpent feeds,
Ami man litter trod before.
And when cn earth he sunk to
b.Cip,
(Ts slumber liii eyelids knew)
lie 1 ye hue die deadly vine doth
w cep
Us venomous tear, and nightly
8 t*o [)
The flesh with blistering dew !
And nc; V r him the she wolf stirr’d
tlic brake.
And the copper-snake breath’d
in his car ;
Till h. starting cry’J, from his
dream awake, .
“ Oh ! when shall I seethe dusky
lake,
“ And the while canec of niv
dear ?”
He saw the !ak~, and a meteor
bright
Quick over its surface plav’d,
“ Welcome,” he cry’d, “ my
dear one’s light!’’
And the dim shore echo’d for
manv a night,
Wnh thenanieof the death-cold
maid :
Till he hollow’d a boat of the
bireturn bark,
Winch carry’J him oil from tiie
shore ;
Far lie follow’d die meteor spaik ;
The w ind was high, ami the clouds
were dark
And the hi at return’d no more.
But oft, from the Indian hunter’s
camp,
Tins lover and maid so true
Are scon at the hour of midnight
damp,
To cross the Eke by a fire-fy
lamp,
And paddle their w hite canoe !
* The Great Dismal Swamp is
ten or twelve miles distant from
Norfolk ; and the lake in the mid

is cuded Drummond's Fond.
AMECDf TE OF Dlt JOHN'S’ H.
Din ing the la(t visit which
the doctor made to Litchfield,
the friends with whom fie was
flaying nrVed him one morn
ing at the bteakfalt table : or.
enquiring after him of the fer
v ,nts, they understood he had
set off fiotn Litchfield at a very
ea*)v hour, without mention
ing to anv oLh* family whither
fie was going. The day passed
without the return of the illui
tiions guest, and the party
began to be very uneasy on
his account, when, just before
the (upper hour, the door
opened, and the doctor dallied
into the room. A solemn si
lence of a few minutes enlued,
nobody daring to enquire the
cause of his absence, which
was at length relieved by John
fun addrefftng tlie lady oi the
heufe in the following manner :
Madam, I beg your par
don lor the abruptness of my
departure from your houfethis
mot r ing ; but I was conltrain
ed te- it by my con Science. Fifty
years ago, madam, on this
day, I committed a breach of
filial piety, which has ever lince
lain heavy on my mind, and
has not till this day been expi.
ated. Mv father, you recollect,
was a bookleiler, and had long
been in the habit;,of attending
market, and opening a
Hail for the fa'e of his books
during that day. Confined to
his bed by indrfpolition, he re
qtiefted me, this lime fifty years
ago, to visit the market, and
attend the Slall in his place.
But, madam, my pride pre
vented me from doing rny duty,
and I gave my father a refusal.
To do away tiie fin or this dis
omaience, I this day went in a
poll chaise to- ,and go
mg into the market at the time
oi high bulmess, uncovered
my head, aim uood u ith it
Dare an hour before the Itah
which iny lather had lonnerly
ukd, expo ted to the lrieers of
die tiandeis by, and the incle
mency of the w eather ; a pen
ance by which, I trust, I have
propitiated Ileaven for lids
only infiance, I believe, of
contumacy towards my father. ’
