VERSUS Written on hearing of the unfortunate death of Master TV . who uas tram pled to death in the Old Bailey , leb . 23 , I 8 O 7 . No more , oh ! high born Hope , awake thy song , To carol in the cheerful morn of life , Beguiling mortals as they pabS along , With juyi > unfading in a world of strife . But tin u , blest spirit , Resignation ! come And journey with us thiough this vale of care , Nor let our wami ' ring thoughts have other home Than heaven , for they may rest in safety there .

How gay the springy its budding charms , Its tender blossoms scent the air ; While Flora pants in Zephyr ' s arms , Soft nymph that claims his fondest care . But tyrant Winter blasts the year , Nor blush the flowers , nor blooms the gr 0 ve , No more the woodlands fair appear . No more the songsters sing of love .
How gay whew youth's dear phantoms rise , And hope , sweet flatterer , cheers the hour ; When pleas * d we view the gilded skies . Nor dread the frown of fortune ' s power ; But age will come , and youth no more Shall rapt exult in opening bloom ; He sighs , while pensive , pond'ring o ' er The steep that rolls him to the tomb . Yet hoary Time , who marks the range Of being ' s circling , endless chain , Unchang'd will see while seasons change , The bloom of morn and spring again ; Will see , while age shall leave the scene , Youth ' s sportive band with garlands crown'd ; And beauty ' s train , who once have been , Again shall tread the giddy round .
Say nature , in thy boundless sphere Eternal wrecks shall pity mourn ? Or in some distant viewless year , Shall prospects past again return J Say shall the same idea rise , And thought proceed , as thought has flow'd ? Say , that in these , in other skies , This breast shall glow , as once it glow'd ! Netoburghy Fife shire . £ ) . B .
