A POEM.
WRITTEN BY THI LATE MR.
RICHARD BINGHAM DAVIS, OF ‘
XEW-YOHK.
When morning shot enlivening
gleams
Across the sky in lucid streams ;
When night roll’d stow in mist j
away, __ I
And Nature’s music hail’d the I
day,.
With hounding heart and cheer
ful haste,
The spangled path I gfedy trac
ed ;
I gaz’d upon the prospect round
1 heard the animating sound :
The sound was sweet, the pros
pect fair ;
But, oh IJtLizA was not there.
alt noon with pensive step I
stray’d
Beyond the aromatic shade,
Where gentle galea with lontl de
lay
Among the twining branches
play ;
There contemplation rears her
throne,
The Muses call the shade their
own
Bright was the Muse’s blooming
wreath,
And mild was zephyr’s gentle
breath ;
Refreshing was the balmy air ,• —
But, 011 ! Eliza was not there,
At evenhio’s meditative hour,
Sacred to fancy’s fairy power.
When the fair crescent of tile
night
£>
Pour’d on the earth her modest
light,
I gaz’d upon the lovely scene,
( aim. solitary, and serene,
The solitary scene was fair :
But, oh 1 Eliza was not there.
Where’er by contemplation
borne,
Whether I meet the rav of morn
Or catch the fragrant breeze of
noon.
Or rove beneath the inspiring
mooriA
Reflection ilnm|) my joy
And hope’s effinamed scenes de
stroy :
Forbids the fleeting bliss to share.
And tells, “ Eliza is not there.’’
A WISH.
I’ve often wished to have a
friend,
With whom my choicest hours to
spend,
To whom I safely might impart
Each wish and weakness of my
heart ;
Who might in every sorrow
cheer,
Or mingle with mv grief a tear,
For whom alone I’d wish to he,
And who alone would live lor me;
And to secure my bliss tor life,
I’d wish’that friend to be a H ife.

Breasts that with sympathizing
ardour glowed,
And holy friendship, such as 7 he
sens vow'd
Friendship is such a need*”
fary ingredient, towards the
promotion of human happi
ness, that the life of man may
be considered as burlhenfotne,
when destitute of a being with
whom he can fympathife and
impart the emotions of joy or
for row, which may refuitfrom
the propitioufnels of profpe’
iuv, or the afllifchon.s of adver
sity.
So nrceffary is the partici
pation of the nineties and vex
ations to which human nature
is daily addicted, that the on .
!y mitigation of our furrows, j
folelv ariles from mutual fym” j
pathv. In the brealt of a roan, |
] fufceptihle to the dictates of
friendlhip, we can confide the
mofl corrosive griefs; frotn
his unremitted condolence, we
t experience every alleviation
i that contributes to deaden the
I pungency of misfortune. But,
it is a melancholy corjiderati
on, that the judgment can on
i Iy be formed b v long experi
j et.ee-—for how often is the fa
! cred name of friendlhip pros
! t'tuted to facilitate the me ft a”
1 bominahle purposes. What
| happiness can the fcoundrelde
; rive, in afleverating a faile
j friendlhip ? Let him contem
| plate its result, and he will he*
; hold the young and inexperi”
1 enced fall victims to profef
| Rons sordid and bale. But
when frienafbip is ftnccre, it
banifnes every dctellable vice,
! under all its disguises. A man
i who can regard the rising prof
petity of his friend, with envv,
is an utter (Iranger to this vir
tuc—for true friendfhip admits
of no diftinftion between afflu
ence and poverty.
There is something in friend
fhip so great and noble, that in
those fibiitious Rories which are
1 invented, to perpetuate the
I fame of different characters,
! the juthors have thought it as
; essential to make their hero a
friend as a lover. Achilles b;;d
nil Patroclus; by the hero’s
love Greece was alrnofl ruined,
but preserved by his friend
i fit ip. Another instance may
; be exemplified, of the happy
! eftetfs of fi iendfhip, viz.—ln
j the time of the proscription by
j the triumvirate at Rome, a
grievous punishment was de
nounced against any person
who fliould conceal, or in any
way alfift’ the proferibed ; on
the other hand, great rewards
were promised to those who
should difcovei* their retreat.
Matquis Varro was in the lift
of persons proferibed, and at
which lime his friend Calenus
tenderly received and conceal
ed him several days in his
■ houle and though Anthony
j came often thither to converfc,
( yet was Calenus never affright
j ed, nor changed his mind,
j though be law other men pu-
I nifhed, or rewarded, according
to the put port of the languina
ry editt. We fee represented
in this* worthy personage, all
j that conllitute a man replete
i with humanity, and every o
1 ther good qualification—nei
j ther intimidated by the mena
cing horrors of an ignomini
ous punishment, nor induced
j by the temptation of such are
j compence, to betray his trust,
at once dtfplays his magnatii
j mity, the immaculacy of his
friendlhip.
Hence, there is such an at
tracting virtue in friendlhip.
I that men of the moll debauch
ed principles, are compelled
to admire. Exalted flame !
The inhabitant only of minds
j free from the contagion of vice
I —the concomitant of philan
j thropy.
j “ Soft propitious power.
j Sweet regent of the social hour,
1 Sublime thy joys; nor understood,
I But l>v ths virtuous and the good.
! Cabal and riot take thy name,
But ’its a false affected claim.”
Ultimately, that, friendlhip
which is formed insensibly, aud
without profeffing much, is
generally la(U..g—for he can*
not be properly chosen for a
friend, whole kindness is cx
| haled by its own warmth, or
frozen by the lull blalt of ca
lumny. But true friends, are
like two fouls in one body ;
they can give or receive no
thing ; all is common between
them. W. H.
