From "Forms, brj Frederick Jaster, Esq." ode xvn v 'Indi mi mena Mentre lirrto ebro deliro, Barchoin giro Per la vagaanra serena." Come hither, bring the cup to me; Higher till let sorrow flee ; B titish woe, anil joy inspire Fill the cup still higher, higher: B it fill it not with Samian wine : No bard of Tcos sups with me But fairer hearts and eyes divineSo till the cup with fragrant Tka. If love and Love will sure be there His quiver and his bow should bear, All sinless be the Paphian boy, Though conquest till hs soul with joy. Then bid the curling wreaths ascend, Thoughts of plei sure with them rise, Lacs of 1oc and odours blend Like clouds of light on summer sk;e:. No Bacchanalian's joys for me, Nor racy tide of Lethe's sea, Nor revelry with riot loud Tuat with our woes our senses shroud:But beauty's train, the modest fair, Be my companions blithe and fi ef. Then I health's roseate smile mav wear And drown mv cares in drinking Tea.

Were the beauty, who swims through the dance, or sparkles in the drawing room, with the conscious superiority of her charms and amid the homage of surrounding admirers, to call to mind, that the form which Narcissus like, she surveyed in the glast, with rapture, must within a few days be chilled by the icy hand of Death, the roses fade from her cheeks, the splendour vanish from her eyes, and all her elegance of form be dissolved in dust, must she not be compelled to believe, that her vanity was misplaced, and worthies; that she squandered life upon objects, equally undeserving, and mischievous; and that to 'acquire beauty of mind, to become lovely in the sight of God. and to merit the esteem of angels throughout eternity were pursuits, infinitely more worthy of rational ambition?
