POETICAL ASYLUM, HEALTH. Charming nymph, with II-p fo airy, Why fo fwittly trip the dew I Whether goddcTs, fylph or fViry, Qit not yet my rpturl ticv Ser the flowers that rife to mtet.,theej Gathering luftre fiom thine rye ; Sec the gleeful groves tlt greet theet Echoing foft the weft wind's figh. See how every hill grows brighter, See how mellow every hade, See each Ufs's ftep is l.ghter, See the rofc forgets to fade ! "Why then fair unknown, and whither Doft thou haltcn to drprt I Let my wifhrs woo the hither, And oh tell me .who thou art ? 11 1 am one, enquiring ftranger, Whom no Willi or prayer detains Through the cots and fields a ranger, Mountain's fide or corn clad plains Often by the found of tabor, I the ruftic's care beguile ; On the brow of honeft labor Is beftow'd my richeH fmile. From the city's fmoke-rcli'd vapouri, Far away I bend my flight, Midnight revels, glaring tapers, Ne'er behold my foolfteps light. Thoufnds fpread their wealth before xnej Bribing my eternal flay : Thoufands more with prayers adore me; Wckh and prayers -re thrown away. "What, deprived of me, is treafure ? What Golconda's glittVirg wealth? Stranger, know that not a pleafure Lives without me I am HEALTH.
LOVtU WOMAN. 'The blafl rf war may loudly blow, The note of animation, Yet valor ! what infpires thy glow, Like woman's approbation ? Woman, without thy dizzling charms, The world were wrapt in flude ; Cold were the Olaiiois all to arms, And laurcl'd wreaths would frtde. Then lovely frx, with magic fmile, Still point our hopt s, our cares beguile, With lory, love and duty, o hall warm, Al-rm, lufpitr, And fire, To gin the meed of beauty.

The queen had invited on a particular day, the principal ladies ol the court to a ball, at which each of them was to be attended by tlu
young noblemen of the court, who
were to be dreiled in the liveries oi their miflreifes. The duke ol
Guife begged his dutehefs not to
go, urging, that although he did
not doubt her virtue, her attend
ance would only increale calumn and (lander. The dutchefs plea
ded the queen's invitation, &.c.
She lucceecied, and went to the entei tainment, which killed till 5
