      The Soldier . [ From the Cabitvrty 17 . 95 . ] Who hath beene a soldier , O , Who hath sough ten glorie ? Who hath thronged with archers bolde , Till his lockes were hoarie ? I havtf beene a soldier , O , f * Seekinge ever gloria , Facinge death , with my archers bolde , Till my lockes he hoarie . y My bodie is well seam'd with stairs , Though ne ' er a Hmbe be wantinge ; But let me not the braggart seenae , ' True valour is not rauntingc . Good JLorde ! and though thy haires be

      gray , And tl \ y bodic roughe and seamed , Hath thy greene mauhood dedes achieved , To make thine age esteemed . Tygres that doe thirste for bipod , Through forestes wilde are raginge ; Ah me ! that man , like tygre gauntq With man should warre be waginge , Grieslie demons sprong from hell , Fraught with accursed vengeance , Lead on gvimm discorde ^ hrpug l ) th « world , And hurle their slaughtering engine * .

      From the Italian of Fmgeni . And shall we turn a deaf and careless ear , To Thy dread voice , Omnipotent , — nor bow Our daring foreheads to the dust , when Thou Hurlest Thy thunders round the trembling sphere ? What I—shall we grasp our fatal pleasures dear , Till that dark , deflate hour of helpless woe , N When the pale spectre , death , shall strike the blow > And we the victims ? —Then appalling fear

      Shall scatter dew drops oh our brow ;—a blast , A chilling blast , shall freeze our x * eins , — and chase The spirit of life that trembles on our tongue ; Now , now rebel , presumptuous ones , — row face The frownings of The Terrible ; ' tis past ! O fearful , frightful hour , forgot too long !
