Poetry.
Together will Ave scale the brow Of rock that high o ' erhangs the deep , And trace the winding vale below , Where streams thro' sedgy mazes ' creep . There shall the abbey ' s ruin'd Avail Devotion ' s warmest thoughts engage ,
The castle ' s battlements recall The wonders of th' historic page ! There , in profoundest silence sunk , The forest shadows shall invite , What time the old oak ' s ivither'd trunk Reflects the pale moon ' s trembling ligfit . There shall Ave taste the pleasing dread
That Ratclift'e ' s genius can inspire , To mark , as homeward now we tread , The glow-Avorm train her little fire . There shall a mother ' s eager arms Fold a new daughter to her heart , And kindred spirits feel the charms Which kindred spirits can impart . -
Well do I greet thy glad return , Meek tenant of the lowly glade ! May Phoebus' brightest rays adorn The dew that sparkles on thy bed !
A New Masonic Song.
A NEW MASONIC SONG .
FOR THE FREEMASONS' MAGAZINE .
IN times of old date , AA'hen ( as stories relate ) Good men to the Gods had admission , When those who were griev'd might Avith ease be feliev'd , By offering an humble petition ; . Some feAV , Avho reraairi'd in their morals unstain'd , Submissively made application , To build a retreatif the Gods should think meet
, , To shield them from wicked invasion . Delighted to find there Avas yet in mankind Some laudable sentiments planted , Without hesitation they gave approbation , And instant their Avishes Avere granted . Then for artists they sought , and fam'd architects brought-, Who the various employments \ yere skill'd in ; *
JLacYi handled his tools , and by science and rules They straightAvay proceeded to building . Tair Wisiam began first to sketch out the Plan By which they were all to be guided ; Each Order she made Avas exactly obey'd , When the Portions of Work she divided .
