Poetry.
O may the sun , unfann'd by cooling gale , Parch'd with unusual heat th' undewy ground ; So shall the pointer ' s -wonted cunning fail , So shall the sportsman leave my babes unfound . Then shall I fearless guide them to the mead , Then shall I see with joy their plumage grow ;
Then shall I see ( fond thought I ) their future breed , And every transport of a parent know . \ ,. But if some victim must endure the dart , And Fate marks out that victim from my race , Strike , strike tjie leaden vengeance through this heart ; Spare , spare my babes ; and I the death embrace .
Nobleman's Seat In Cornwall.
NOBLEMAN ' s SEAT IN CORNWALL .
WRITTEN AMONG THE KU 1 NS OF A
. BY MR . MOORE . AJLJi . MIDST these venerable drear remains Of ancient grandeur , musing sad I stray ; Around a melancholy silence reigns ,
That prompts me to indulge the plaintive lay . Here liv'd Eugenio , born of noble race , Aloft his ' mansion rose ; around were seen Extensive gardens deck'd with every grace , Ponds , walks , and groves through all the seasons green . Ahwhere is now its boasted beauty fled !
, Proud turrets that once glitter'd in the sky , And broken columns in confusion spread , A rude mishapen heap of ruins lie 1 Of splendid rooms no traces here are found : How are these tottering walls by time defae'd ! Shagg'd with vile thorn , with twining ivy bound ,
Once hung with tapestry , with paintings grac'dl In antient times , perhaps , where now I tread , Licentious Riot crown'd the midnight bowl , Her dainties Luxury pour'd , and Beauty spread . Her artful snares to captivate the soul .
