Tkin * active spirit , manly fortitude , And admiration of the wise and good , * Whose counsels taught thee how to live and die , And raise thy views , like them , beyond the
To Him , the Good Supreme ^ who rules the spheres , And guides the circles of our mortal years ; Till from the f sleep of death the just arise To share in endless life the heav ' nly J prize I Though fourscore summer suns and
winsnows Thy journey measur ed to thy last repose , Where Tavy's ancient spires with ivy wave Above the turf that blossoms on thy grave , With earliest flow ' rs , that in the breathingspring Bedew'd with tears thy youthful darling ' s
fcring;—Vet shall be seen in happier realms thy face Rerive in bloom , and more than mortal grace : Thine eyes shall view the treasures of thy heart
Restorto thy embrace , no more to part , In yon celestial ever-verdant clime , Beyond the shaft of Death , or pow ' r of Time ; And welcome to the bright , eternal shore Thine aged Partner , destin'd to deplore , With resignation meek , the final atom That saw thee from her gentle presence borne ! >
Farewell ! our Father , Crrandsire , faith ful Friend ! Ontil we meet where pleasures never end . Kilvoorthy , Tavistock W . E March 1815 .

Lines , composed on hearing the Reverend B , Treleaverij of Dorchester ^ preach Jrom John xviii . 38 . Hark ! hark ! Treleaven claims the Muse * * song , And pours the tide of eloquence along $ With manly feeling ev ' ry accent glides , Glowa to sublime , then into peace sab *
sides;—While fair Devotion , hovering round the shrine , Smiles on the scene with ecstacy divine , And dwells on e v'ry saered , hallow'd sound ; . With thrilling rapture , yet with awe profound ,
Whilst all the feelings in due order roll . Whilst all the feelings in due order roll , Speak the big thought , and animate the soul . Sure there's in eloquence a secret charm , Enough the force of malice to disarm-Enough to lighten hatred of its sting , And raise up Fancy on her attic wing .
Oh ! who could hear , delighted , and notfeo ^ A glow of pleasure , and devoted zeal—That e ' en can pierce the darken e d cloud that low ' r , And wrest from Prejudice her harpy po ^ tv'r ? But ' tis not mine to search whence aeett
began , Enough for me , — -1 reverence the man . No ! 'tis not mine to judge of differing creeds ; That shines the brightest vrtrich to virtne leads ! Sherborne , Aug . Gth 9 1815 .

moon Tempestuously impel the gather'd clouds , Htst thou not seen , or thought that thou hast seen , Their waving folds voluminous assume A stationary attitude and form ; Wkile that brig-ht crescent seem'd to drive
along in swift career behind th * ir mass of shade , And through their dark interstices , witli glance Aiid glare of yellow undefin ed , to peep , Then to glide onward in her rapid path ?

Even so the Atheist , sullen of brow , Beholds with faithless and fallacious eye The firm-fix'd crown of hear ' nly happiness As some faint flitting vision of the night , Prize unattainM and unattainable 5 And views the tinsel trappings of renown .
The transient fame of false philosophy , The hopes and pleasures of a bodily sense , And th ' evanescent glare of worldly good , As the sole aim and purpose of man ' s life The only object of th # human soul ; And deems a flitting series of shadows , Of native darkness , and reflected light , The single , stable , and substantial good . JUVENIS .
