the writer may compete for the highest rank in this species of composition . The first is the song of Edah , the Indian , girl , in the Pirate ;' sung in a grotto in the island , as she fans Albert with a plume of feathers while he sleeps .
* Little waves upon the deep Murmur soft when thou dost sleep ; Gentle birds upon the tree Sing their sweetest songs for thee ; Cooling gales , with voices low , In the tree-tops gently blow ! Dearest , who dost sleeping lie , All things love thee , so do I !
When thou wak ' st the sea will pour Treasures for thee to the shof fe ; And the earth in plant and tree * Bring forth fruits and flowers fbr thee ; And the glorious heaven above Smile on thee , like trusting love I Dearest , who dost sleeping lie , All things love thee , so do I V p . 82 .

Old father Jason?—No , you re wrong ; There was another ere Jason began ; Don ' t be a blockhead , boy ! Tightly and strong Over the waters he went—he went , Over the waters he went . Ha !
