AN ACROSTIC Mid Rufiwn wilds and Alpine fnows, Love cheers the bedin j fecne : And where the eddying whirlwind blows The fand-cbd hills between ; Becumbent o'er the forrowing bed Innate aflfecYion weeps ; Immur'd 'tween pallid hope and feat Her broken vigil keeps.

In vain the mifanthropic crew Thy filken fway deride ; Content pofTc fs'd, with love and you, I'd fcom the world befide. Kings may command a tranGent awe, A temporary fway In Hymen's code, the worthieft law, Is honor, love, obey !
