Poetry.
And though in lofty strains to sing debarr'd , Haply the scene may strike some better bard ; By him some future day that praise be shown ;" A Raphael ' s pencil need not blush to own : Till -.-. hen adieu ! each lovely walk and bow ' r , Where I delighted past a leisure hour ; Adieu ! my friendwith courteous mannersbfest
, , May no intruding cares thy peace molest . May Health auspicious on thy dome descend , And all the comforts in her train attend ; True conscious honour be thy best repast , Enjoy thc present hour nor fear the last .

SONG INSCRIBED TO DELIA .
¦ BY THE SAME .
DOUBT yon damask rose is sweet , That constant is the dove , That cunning dwells not with deceit , , ; But never doubt my love . Poult all the danger of the sea , That time forgets to move , .
That fruit has not its parent tree , But do not doubt my love . Doubt courage in the hero ' s breast , That music ' s in the grove , That blessings dwell not with the blest ; But never doubt my love . Doubt all you see , and all your hear , The friendship you may prove , The swiftness of the mountain deer , But never doubt my love .
The Candlestick,
THE CANDLESTICK ,
BY MRS . NASHE STRICKLAND , OF BLANDFORD . WHEN to fair Thetis' bed the weary sun In haste retires , and day ' s swift course is run ; I stand prepar'd to usher in fresh light
, And chase the gloomy horrors of . the night : But artificial light so priz'd below , Wer't not forme , would soon a burthen-grow j Without my help ill serve the taper ' s fires , When , falling , the inverted flame expires .
