POETICAL ASTLUM, THE MUFFLED DRUM. 44 Favete Unguis," . hok. "With mute attention wait." Ah me ! how forrowful and flow, With arms reverf'd the foldier comes ; Dirge founding trumpets, full of woe, And fad to hear the muffled drum. Advancing to the houfe of pray'r, Still fadder flows the doleful drain ; E'n induftry forgets her care, And joins the melancholy train ! O ! after all the toils of war, How blcft the brave man lay's him down ! His bier is a triumphal car, His grave his glory an3 renown ! What though nor friends nor kindred dear, To grace his obfequies attend ; His comrades are his brothers dcre, And every hero is his friend. See love and truth, all woe begone, And beauty droopmg in the crowd ; Their thoughts intent on home alone, Who fleeps for ever in his fhroud. Again the trumpet lowly founds, The foldiers lad funeral hvmn i Agairt the mufRed drum rebounds, And every eye with grief is dim. The generous Reed, which late he rode, Seems to its matter to deplore ; And follows to his laft abode, The warrior who returns no more. For him, far hence, a mother fighs, And fancies comforts yet to come 1 He'll nver bl"f hrr longing ryrs She'll only hear the multled drum. (Continued from Page fist.
