Alonzo The Brave, And Fair Imogine.
While they- drink out of skulls newly torn from the grave , " Dancing round them the sp . ctres are seen ; Their liquor is blood ; and . ids horrible stave They howl , ' To the health of Alonzo the Brave , And his consort , the False Imogine !'
To Harmony.
TO HARMONY .
BY DR . WILLIAM PERFECT . OFFSPRING of light ! cherubic fair 1 Whose charms can never fade , Attune the Pott ' s bumble air , His artless Serenade .
When first from Chaos Nature sprung , And lovely Order rose , With thy own notes the regions rung , Or sunk to soft repose . 'Twas thine , pervading land and sea , To animate each scene , "
Diffusing wide the Deity , Celestial and terrene . As Phoebus through the vernal store Sheds young creation ' s rays , Embellishing- from shore to shore The Spring-extended days : —
So thou , enthusiastic maid , Cau ' st all our thoughts inspire , And warm the muse-frequented shade With ail the seraph ' s lire .
'Tis thine to soothe the human breast , . When harrow'd deep with care ; And lull the captive into rest , Though fetter'd with despair . ' " ' . ; To sympathy , thy sister bland , Thou glv ' st the power to heal
; And stays't . assassination ' s hand , When lifting murder ' s steel . Dies maniac passion quick subside To peace without alloy , With orient reason coincide , And feel the bosom ' s joy ?
Thy voice subdues the mental storm , And wakes the silver string-, At once to charm , instruct , and warm Beneath composure ' s wing .
