D'ye think you have, with your " panzotic" whinings?
A statute equal to the law of Poynings;
Whereby each item in your Magazine,
Must be by you prepared, before 'tis seen.
Then, with the item, giving your reply,
So both, together, meet the public eye.

In days of thraldom you might thus have bounced,
But now, that law's REPEALED...the right RENOUNCED.
Under your Brevier skulk...pull down your hood;
Be TANGIBLE no more...Sat Verbum,

FLOOD.

ANALYSIS OF 1810, CONTINUED.

"Annuus exactis completur mensibus Orbis."

ONCE

more proceed, your matters all in tune;

Let's analyse the genial month of JUNE,
Which, tho' abundant in refreshing showers,
In gentle breezes, and redolent flowers.
For our inspection little else affords,

Than, that on long debate in HOUSE OF LORDS,
The Cath'lic question on the sixth was lost,
Majority was eighty-six at most.

At STOCKHOLM on the twentieth, it appears

By SCANIAN records...walking all in tears,

A great procession following the hearse

Of the CROWN PRINCE, with dirges sad which pierce Their "cloud capped towers"...forth rush a furious band

Of malcontents,...and urged by vengeance fell,

Assaulted the procession sword in hand,

When hundreds perish'd...horrible to tell.

Somehow, or other, in these Northern courts,
Destiny premature and fatal, sports
With lives of monarchs...it can scarce be said,
That male or female,...any die in bed.
Such baneful diadems, I would not hold,
For all Golconda's gems...or Quito's gold.

Happy the monarch of the BRITISH ISLES;

Where freedom blossoms, and where virtue smiles;
The sovereign in his people's hearts enshrin'd,
Or old or young will always safety find.

Upon the twenty-first, it seems the power
Which, erst, had sent SIR FRANCIS to the tower;
Expired by prorogation of DOM.COM:
His friends triumphantly to tend him home;
Assembled in most splendid preparation,
Resolv'd to show their joy on the occasion.

The BARONET intending no such matter,
(Tho' had his heart been set on pomp...or pride,
To gratify it...ne'er was such atide,)

Eluded all...and slipped away by water! SIR FRANCIS surely, it must be confessed, Have what he will...has modestly at least.

Allons mes enfants, come now let us try,
What mighty matters happen'd in July;
So many happened...that I'll be curst,

If I know where to start...for on the first,
KING LEWIS from his royal chair slipped down,
(Which it appears he never much admir'd,)
And, as if of the kingly office tir'd,

Set off, incog....and cast away his crown!
Leaving his honest squab mynheers, to wonder,
And turn their eyes up, like to ducks, in thunder.

Upon this very day, but somewhat late,
Alamode de Paris...a most splendid fete
Was given by the Austrian Plenipo,

In honour of BONI, and his master's daughter,
(Who in the marriage trap that day had caught her,)
His great respect and heartfelt joy to show.

So far so good, but that they might have all room,
In some new jigmafeeri of a ball-room,

This fete was held...and lo, while all were dancing, Somehow or other...this ball-room took fire,

And ere the sporting wassallers could retire,
The flames, like to a torrent, came advancing.

Heavens what a spectacle it was to see,
Such belles and beanx's endeavouring to flee,
To get out first each individual strives,
And rushing headlong on with wild uproar,
Of rank and sex regardless, choked the door,
And many pretty damsels lost their lives.
From this you see that many sad miscarriages
Happen both at prince's funerals and state marriages,

Upon the ninth, Heaven guard us in such times,
A man (for many heinous...heavy crimes,

No doubt it was...what minister could fob it ?...
Printing a libel on the men and horses,
Who form a corps y'clept the German forces!)

Was clapped in Limbo...called wILLIAM COBBET!

And there as by his mittimus appears,
He must remain the space of...two whole years,
And likewise he must pay a thousand pound:
And then find sureties...who are likewise bound,
In monstrous sums...that neither man nor beast,
He libel shall...for two whole years at least.
Most clear this rogue behoves to go to pot,

"That truth should be silent, he seems to have forgot."

Methinks I now can hear your impship's say,
Lord, sir, this special pleading cease, we pray;
Why all our pages with such stuff you'll cover;
Come to the point at once, and quit such trash.
For God's sake say, (and let us have a flash...)

"I've found some months asleep, and leaped them over."

By way of easement as you go along,

Tip us, you might, some pretty little song;

Or, as an interlude, might you not look
At some fine lately published new book;
Then try, like it, another book to make...
......Suppose the LADY OF THE LAKE.

When you to such book-making trade begin,
Give all your things a monstrous origin;
Use only terms, and phrases obsolete.
Call every object by an ancient name;

The less you're understood...the more your fame...
Write most abstrusely, and 'twill make you great.
Make all your lakes, as large as seas,

Turn all your brambles iuto trees;

A mile in depth, at least, make all your glens!
Cloath all their sides with wood in store,
Where tree, or shrub, ne'er grew before,

And high as CAUCASUS...make all your Bens!

Then on your lakes make every boating scene,
Like as you can, to that, where Egypt's queen
Came to seduce the famous Triumvir.
When, on the Cydnus borne by Cyprian gales,
The wanton breezes fill'd her silken sails,

Which Persius writing of, makes so much stir.

The muse in this description soars on high,
Her Pegasus through æther seems to fly,
But should you chuse in chalking out your scene,
To fix on such a spot as Lough Katrine!
Your verse must then in singing of your shallop,
Appropriately trot, or slowly gallop.

Or if you chance to sing of "ambush'd glen,”
Touch not on" Birnam wood, or Dunsinane;'

By some fastidious wight it might be hinted
That you preferred old Shakespeare to the Scot,
Who of the Clansman bold, so sweetly wrote,
That blew his whistle, while the sunit glinted!"

Then to the young heroine of your page
Give senile suiters "past the middle age,"
To swell the size, and to enhance the price
Affix long notes, old songs, and ballads nice,
To show affinity, take no small pains,
Between "Scotch words and those used by the Danes ;"
Thus, shall your readers taste, be much amended,
Your book besides, with praise and gain attended.

Or if you meant to rightly play your pins:
Give us a touch at WINDSOR BULLETINS;
And let us have (were it but one) a word
About the tunes on-HANDEL's Harpsic'ord.

These you shall have, and with a tanterara,
On the dispatches of Lord Talavera-
And much besides, of which old time will tell
Your cases call you now...farewell...farewell.

Edenticulle, 26th Feb. 1811.

CALDERONE.

• TRANSLATIONS FROM ANACREON.

BENIGNANT Nature prompt to save,
Its arms to every creature gave.
The spiral horn, long, tapering, full,
Crown'd the stern forhead of the bull:

The steed with swiftness scours the plain,
With fins the fishes cleave the main;
The plumy race on pinions dare
Ascend the chrystal wilds of air;
Whilst hung with foam the lion shews
His gnashing fangs in hideous rows:
To man, superior far designed,
To man she gave a taste refin'd,
An awful, grand, immortal mind.
But what, ah what hath nature given,
To thee? thou last best gift of heaven,
Oh woman say? she gave thee smiles,
She gave thee soul-ensnaring wiles,
Gave thee thine inmost heart to speak,
In crimson blushes on thy cheek:
She arm'd thee with the potent sigh,
Kindled the lightning of thine eye,
And crown'd thee, blest with every grace,
The sovereign of the human race.

v.

COME, Vulcan, with thy fires embrace,
And fuse the solid silver mass;
But neither helm, nor shield prepare,
For what have I to do with war?
No-rather let thy master hand
Fashion the bowl as I command,
Broad, deep, capacious, to confine
An ocean of refulgent wine.
Nor on its figured carve appear
Orion, or the Northern Bear.
I little heed what stars arise,
"I trust the ruler with his skies:"
But let thy matchless hand design
The luscious grape, the leafy vine
With dewy clusters, and unfold
Young Bacchus form in virgin gold;
And last, thy noblest skill to prove,
Cleone, or the queen of love.

[blocks in formation]

Each charm, each sweet to thee is given,
Thou pride of earth! thou joy of heaven!
Whose bloom all other bloom effaces-
Light Cupid, dancing with the Graces,
With thy bright gems in many a fold
Entwines his locks of fleecy gold.
Come crown me then, and near thy shrine,
O Bacchus, fired with generous wine
I'll sing, while roses deck my fyre,
While roses all my song inspire.

And thou, dear maid, whose charms de

mand

The tribute of Anacreon's hand,'
As thro' the rapid dance we move,
Inspir'd by music and by love,
Let clustering roses deck, not hide
Thy snowy bosom's swelling pride.

XI.

As late within the Paphian grove,
A wreath of various flowers I wové,
I found it's god in still repose
Cradled within a damask rose.
With caution, fearful of his sting,
1 seized him by the beating wing,
And plunged the imp into a tide
Of sparkling juice, that stood beside;
Then quaff'd the luscious draught, to
prove

The mingled taste of wine and love.
Too soon the dire effect I found,
My heart received a mortal wound;
There Cupid now hath fix'd his nest,
I feel him fluttering in my breast.

TO A SEXTON.

IET thy wheel-barrow alone,

Wherefore, Sexton piling still, In thy bone-house, bone on bone, "Tis already like a hill.

In a field of battle made,

Where three thousand sculls are laid, There, died in peace, each with the other, Father, sister, friend, and brother, Mark the spot to which I point,

From this plat-form eight foot square; Take not ev'n a finger joint,

Andrew's whole fire-side is there. Here alone, before thine eyes, Simon's sickly daughter lies;

From weakness now, and pain defended,
Whom he twenty winters tended.

Look but at the gardner's pride,
How he glories, when he sees,
Roses, lilies, side by side;

Violets in families.

[blocks in formation]

Who season human-kind;
Light of the world, whose cheering ray,

Illumes the realms of mind.

Where mis'ry spreads her deepest shade,
Your strong compassion glows;
From your blest lips, the balm distils,
That softens human woes.

By dying beds, in prison glooms,
Your frequent steps are found;
Angels of love!-you hover near,

To bind the strangers wound.

You wash with tears the bloody page,
Which human crimes deform;
When vengeance threats, your pray'rs
ascend,

And break the gathering storm.

As down the summer stream of vice,
The thoughtless many glide,
Upward you steer your steady bark,
And stem the rushing tide.

Where guilt her foul contagion breathes,
And golden spoils allure,
Unspotted still your garments shine,
Your hands are ever pure.
Whene'er you touch the poets lyre,
A loftier strain is heard,
Each ardent thought is yours alone,
And every burning word.

Your's is the large expansive thought,
The high, heroic deed;
Exile and chain to you are dear,
To you 'tis sweet to bleed.

You lift, on high, the warning voice,
When public ills prevail;

Yours is the writing on the wall,
That turns the tyrant pale.

The dogs of hell your steps pursue,
With scoff, and shame, and loss;
The hemlock bowl 'tis yours to drain,
To taste the bitter cross.

Yet yours is ALL...thro' Histry's rolls,
The kindling bosom feels;

And, at your tomb with throbbing heart,
The fond enthusiast kneels.

In every faith, thro' every clime,

Your pilgrim steps we trace;

And shrines are drest, and temples rise,
Each hallow'd spot to grace.

And Poans loud in ev'ry tongue,

And choral hymns resound;

And length'ning honours hand your name, To times remotest bound.
