Thy sheep no more thine hand shall feed
Where verdant pastures rise :
Who shall thy flock to streamlets lead,
While fountains drown our eyes ?
Careless they rove across the mead,
Where cold their shepherd lies.

This sorrow from my future race
Shall never wing her flight;
For many as fair a form and face
Shall set in such a night.

But, oh! could hope beyond it trace
A morn of heavenly light :-

And if thy spirit live again,
Where sorrow never trod,
Then hast thou left a world of pain,
A sin-accursed sod ;-

To wish thee back were worse than vain,
For thou art with thy God!

THE SYBYL'S TOMB.

I was the Sibyl !—In this marble cell
Sleep the pale lips that breath'd the oracle.
Death's sceptre stoop'd upon my virgin brow;
Then voice and beauty fled !—All's silent now.
Yet still with Hermes and the nymphs I rove,
Elysian spirit!-I was Phoebus' love.

MADRIGAL.

To Maia.

The youth who sees thee may rejoice,
And he is blest who hears thy voice;
But, oh! what cause of smiles has he,
Who, happy, gains a smile from thee!

Happy is he who thee admires,
Happier, who sighs with soft desires ;
But, oh! more blest, more happy he,
Who, sighing, gains a sigh from thee!

Upon the above subject, much has been said here during the last fortnight, in consequence of the scrutiny which has been used, to discover the peculiar manner, touching certain points, involving unlawful hours for business, and the ruinous custom of gaming, in which some of the licensed houses have been conducted; and with which species of scrutiny all, in general, now seem threatened. It is a quaint observation, that an Act of Parliament never yet was so closely framed, but ingenuity might discover a loop hole in it, through which it might pass to avoid its effects—and admitting such an observation to be grounded in truth, how forcibly must it impress upon the mind, the difficulties of legislation. The grand object of the law must be, to prevent crime; to induce reform by punishment, where crime is discovered to exist; and, above all, to protect the well-disposed part of society against that of the unworthy and designing.
