Review.
O ' er friend and foe they hurried on , A coward , eager , selfish throng , Who in life ' s waste Avill never wait For wearied or unfortunate , But , rjressing , croAvd and reckless tread Upon the dying and the dead . With the moral we shall all agree : —
The tale is told , the lay is o ' er ; It will unheeded pass aAvay , — Lost in the noisy City ' s roar , Will not a warning sound convey ; Will pass unnoticed in the throng , Unheard amid the busy din
, Like a poor singer ' s feeble song Will fail a passing thought to Avin ; And knig hts and squires Avill set their snares , Ancl City men their schemes contrive , And dupes still speculate in shares , Ancl knaves upon their folly thrive ;
For nought that human voice can say , Nov all that warning thought imparts , Will in life's scale a feather weigh Against the greed of human hearts . AVe like this poem much , and think it likely to do good .
