TO LYDIA.
/■row Bayley's Poem*.
THOSE lips tu mine are preflVd in vain,
In v in. ftlfe fair, thole arms enfold me;
Thy lavish'd charms no more retain
The powerful spells they had to hold me.
Though red the rose that on thy lip.
With dewy odours bathed, is (slowing ;
I will no’ drink where all may Up,
Whence fwects to all alike are flowing.
The form that yields to all it* fwerts,
To me can ne'er be worth rareffmg,
And if thy heart for numbers heats.
Oh tell me, is it wortii pofle fling f
Then fare thee welt,and let us part,
Since my fliort drramof love is over;
I have hut loft a thing of art,
While thou haft loft a faithful lover.
Which will the grealfft loss sustain
I know not, but I feel full dearly
That thou wilt never find
A heart to love thee so fiucerely.
Once more farewell, so let us part ;
For me, I ever must regret thee j
For time can never teach my heart,
I ho’ thou art faithlcfs, to forget thee.
Ah no ! 1 do but boast in vain
That love is from my bosom tnnifhed;
For while I (peak I feel thy chain,
Ami all my doubts of thee have vanifli
ed.
Still smile, and 1 will think that now
On me alone those lips arc smiling
Flatter, nor will 1 think that thou
My simple heart art still beguiling.
I.et but that rosy lip once more
Yield tomy lip its fragrant freafure,
And I'll forget that from ihat store,
Another draws large draughts of pita
furc.
Oh pour on me those floods of light
Tost from thy radiant eye are stream
ing ■
l will not dream that eyefo bright
For any eye but mine is beaming.
And ah ! if felt and pamlffs fight
Thy Viofom move with gentle motion.
A the light fuminerair bids rife
In lighted waves the peaceful ocean.
My bosom then (hall fondly fwel',
Nor will I in thy sighs difeover
That alt thy fofteft wishes dwell
With f.nne more highly-favoured lover.
Then fay no hand but mine fliall press
That hand, or touch the charms I sigh
for; 4
That 1 alone MUgjpr poflefs
The love gladly die for.
And oh how hapy wilt thou be,
If thou, while thus with vows deceiving.
Haft half the hlifs that fl >w. to me,
While hearingthie, &, while believing.

OF MILTON, CONTRASTED
By the late Thomas Dcrmody.
The Italian writers compare
the peem of Ariollo to a gar
den of melons; where those
that are good are excellent, and
those that are bad, are worth
nothing. On the other hand
TaflTo is afiimilated to a bed of
cucumbers ; where all are ripe
& found, hut deflitute of that
delicious rHifii whichpleales the
molt refined tafle.
Shakespeare (to life this cl
lufion; is a wild garden where
peaches, plumbs, and apples
are found; fotne crude, fome
lour, forme rotten, bin I'otne in
comparable. lie is a vineyard
of plenty, where many of the
fined branches are turned for
want of the pruning knife.
Shakespeare, like the world is
full of good and evil but his
word fate is so tempting, that
we have no power to refrain
from trying it- But thechaile
the lublitne Milton is, like his
own Eden.
“A happy rural seat of various
view
And his work is that fertile
ground, out of which
. he caus’d to grow
All tr. es of noble kind ; for sight,
smell, taste ;
And all amid them stood the tret
t>J file,
High, eminent, blooming, ambro
sial trull,
Os vegetable gold.”
Islamic is so arranged by him
as to receive an additional
left re from ait ; and the exu
berance of the earth appears
more than the labor of the cul
tivator.
Shakespeare, when he soars
is borne by a Muse of five be.
yorid human fight ; but Milton
in his grandefl moments, re
tains the light of reason. His
ecftacies are the ecftacies of a
philosopher ; Shakespeare's are
the flights of an irivilihle being.
Notwnhttanding this, their
spirits are fomewhatcongenial;
for allowing the variation of
the epic from the dramatic,
they move us by the fame
golden springs of pathos. In
the art ot exciting terror. I am
not Jure but that Shakespeare is
superior ; for infiance—the
dream of Eve is painted rather
tamely though in just and
beautiful colours; while Cla
rence’s vilion difplavs the in
mod recedes of horror, p
---prehenfion, pity, judgement,
and admirable fanev. The
characters of Satan and Mac
beth are both indeed,extreme
ly well managed, and in my
opinion, extremely alike : they
have the fame courage, the
fame undaunted ambition, un
curbed freedom of will and
1, irited fortitude in the hour of
deftruttion. They both are
conscious of their ingratitude
andvvickednefs, both stubborn
and relentless, and even in the
midfi. of their success, they
leem to fed a boding of the
confer] uences.
The address of the arert-infi
del to the fun, is a noble de
fection of the remorfc attend
ant on conscience : it shews
that even Lucifer himfelf could
not but find iis fling. Mac
beth iri almofl every situation,
confedes his guilt, yet plunges
into dead* of tenfold horror.
Lady Macbeth might be also
introduced here, but female
tenderness denies her savage
temper. The mod apparent
touch that diltinguifhes Mac
beth from Nairn, is in his cow
ardice <!Sc mean prevarication ;
he exclaims.
“ Thou can’ll not fay I did it,”
to Banquo’s gliolt, becaule he
only commanded his alTallina
tion ; Milton s hero gloried in
i his undoing ; and,
i “ — — fierce hi gesfped arm*.
j C ufli and on hi> founding lliield the din of
war,
! Hurling defiance to the vault of heaven.”
! Shakelpeare is like a cataratt :
! at one time ruffling through
1 rocks and caverns, foaming
J and terrifying; then linking in
to a fluggifb calm, with no”
; thing but the bubbles of his for
| mcr sublimity. Milton is a
j full, not overflowing river; Jc
‘ like the river to the lea, haften
i ing towards his filullrious de
i iign, never pausing, and fel
i dom dangerous to the paffeir
j gers. The very foibles of one
i are delulive and charming ;
j but the other, if ever he should
j delccnd, is Hat, and liable to
j inferiority from the nature of
his performance. The wild
Icenery of Shakespeare is the
unconnected magic of Merlin,
variously diverting ; that of
Milton is like Plato's Ely burn ;
‘enchanting, yet built on the
basts of an opinion which bears
the a:r of probability.
In a word, the former was a
man of many faults and many
vn tues ; the latter neatly a pat
tern of perfection—perfection
attained by a ttudy and dint of
learning. Shakespeare was the
child of fancy : Milton the child
ot judgement. Milton was
the poet and etitic too ;
Shakespeare the poet only ;
hut such a one as.
Wc ne’er fliall look upon hit like ag^in.”
