THE FRliaSOPHT OE EVI £ » ( From Mr . G . Dyer ' s Poetics . ) It was when dark November frown'd ; Countty and town alike were dreary ; Nothing was smiling all around , Nought within cheary .
* Oh ! for some pure aetherial sphere , u which no dregs « f matter cling , € C Where flows serene th ' all perfect year , < 4 From mind ' s pure spring . " It might not be—a form I view—*
Stern was his front , and fierce his eye ; His robe mix'd of November ' s hue , On crimson dye . Clamour and Rage , and trembling Feax , In grim , wild state before him go ; And in his hand he couch'd a spear , A * towards some foe *
• ' Sing not t © me , " he cried , " of loves 4 < Sigh not to me in Pity ' s strains " Nor think to lure me to the groves , " To pipe with swains .
Different my joys , —I traverse earth * ** I range thro * air , I pierce the sea j u And every creature by its birth , ** Is bound to
kieiC Each from me some strong instinct draws , . ** Wbitsh towards iu kin engenders strife « * Birds , fi ^ hesy yielding tQ my laws , M Prey upon life . " Have you not beard in distant wood ,
** Haw greedy beasts pursue their way ; •* By turns , eacft drinks some CreatureV bloocf , * 0 y turns the prey . * ' Have : you not ra ^ rk'd the biWy wothi , " Where reason forms its wisest plan ? * How man , fry ftirious passions whirl ' d € C Preys 6 poh man i
* ' Ti $ nj 4 i > e—I stir the active thought , ** I rcnjae tbe passiom , «^ ge the deerf ; ** Avtd thetc I frast , where thousand * fought , 46 And thousands bleed .
