POETICAL ASYLUM,

The following admired poem, u which fiom its fubject, as well as from its intrinfic excellence, can not be too frequently ftudied, too widely circulated," is from the celebrated pen of the late Bifliop Horne. THE LEAF. WE ALL DO FADE AS A LEAF Isaiah lxiv. 6. SEE the leaves around us falling, Dry and withered on the ground ; s Thus to thoughilefs mortals calling, In a fad and folemn found : Sons of Adam, once in Eden, Blighted when like us he fell, Hear the letture we are reading, 'Tis, alas ! the truth to tell. Virgins, much, too much, prefuming On your boafted white and red, View us, late in beauty blooming, Numbered now among the dead. Griping mifers, nightly waking, See the end of all your care ; Fled on wings of our making, We have left our owners bare. Sons of honor fed on praifes, Flutt'ring high on fancied worth, Lo 1 the fickle air, that raifrs, Brings us down to parent earth. Learned fophs, in fyftems jaded, Who for new ones daily call, Ceafe, at length, by us prrfuaded, Ev'ry leaf muft have its fall ! Youths, tho yet nolofles grieve you, Gay in health and manly grace, Let not cloudlcfs fkies deceive you, .Summer gives to Autumn place Venerable fires, grown hoary, Hither turn th' unwilling eye, Think, amidft your failing glory, Autumn tells a Winter nigh. Yearly in our courfe returning MelTengersof fhortefk ftay, Thus we preach this truth concerning,

Heaven and Earth fhall pafsaway."
