    TO A BUTTERFLY RESTING ON A SKULL . r ( Prom the Literary Gazette , ) Creature of light and air , Emblem of that which may not die ! Wilt thou not speed thy flight ,

    'Po chase the south wind through the sunny skyi \ Vtoat lures thee thus to stay With silence and decay , Fix'd on the wreck of dull mortality ? The thoughts once chaoaber'd there , Have gather'd-up their treasures and are gone ! Will the dust tell us where

    They that have burst the prison-house are flown ? Rise , nursling of the day , If thou wouldst trace their way 1 Earth has no voice to make the secret known I

    Who seeks the vanished bird By the forsaken nest and broken shell ? Far hence he sings unheard , Yet frfce and joyous ' midst the woods to dwell ! Thou , of the sunshine born , Take the bright wings of morn ! Thy hope calls heavenward from yon ruin'd cell .

    HYMN TO THE HOLY ALLIANCE . ( From the Morning Chronicle . ) Hurrah ! Hurrah ! for the Kin £ s of the earth , Let us worship the Holy Alliance ,

    For the Royal Millenium will shortly have birth , And the Moaarchs may hurl a defiance To Liberals , Patriots , Sages and all Who would Tyrants controul , and the world disenthrall . Monarchical practices \ tho would forbid ?

    Up with the scaffold and gibbet ! May the Bourbon of Naples , and him of Madrid , Their butchering talents exhibit ; And prove to the world that legitimate thrones Are cemented with blood and constructed of bones .

    May the Saint Inquisition recover its sway , For reasons religious and weighty . And burn all its foes in an autodafS , To prove that they * re illumiaati ; May dungeons , racks , tortures , be rife as of yore , And the altars keep smoking with heretic gore .
