And silence encompassed us round. 'Twas then that the soft stolen kiss, "Twas then that the throb of our hearts, Declared that we wished for the bliss

Which love and love only imparts. But fate will two hearts oft dissever,

By Nature designed for each other; But why should they part, and for ever, And forced their affections to smother.

Full oft in the silence of night,

When sleep from my pillow is flown, I think, with a mournful delight,

On the joys which with thee I have known.

For all that the world chose to say, We laughed, and we romped and we toyed;

In joy few each quick passing day, And night in fond dreams ployed.

was em

How short and how blissful the hour, When round the lone hamlet we strayed, When passion each heart overpowered,

And a sigh the sweet feelings betrayed. O whence is that glance of the mind,

Which scenes that are past oft renews, Which paints them in colours refined,

With fancy's bright glittering hues? Now sweet be thy slumbers, my friend,

And sweet be the dreams of thy soul, Round thy couch may the angels attend, And visions of happiness roll. Whilst I with despair overcome,

To the rocks and the deserts will fly, Though Sarah, in life, I must shun, I'll meet her again in the sky.

MACARONICK verses, written a few years ago, during the alarm of invasion, by the late professor Porson.

LINGO DRAWN FOR THE MILITIA.

EGO nunquam audivi such terrible news, As at this present tempus my sensus con. fuse;

I'm drawn for a miles-I must go cum marte,

And, cominus ense, engage Buonaparte.

Such tempora nunquam videbant majores, For then their opponents had different

mores:

But we will soon prove to the Corsican vaunter,

Though times may be changed-Britons

never mutantur.

Me Hercle! this Consul non potest be quiet, His word must be lex-and when he says fiat,

Quast Deus, he thinks we must run at his nod:

But Britons were ne'er good at running by G-d.

Per mare, I rather am led to opine,

To meet British naves he would not incline;

Lest he should in mare profundum, be drowned,

Et cum Alga, non Lauro his caput be crowned.

But allow that this boaster in Britain could land,

Multis cum aliis at his command: Here are lads who will meet, aye and properly work 'em,

And speedily send 'em, ni fallor, in or

cum.

Nunc, let us, amici, join cordo et manus, And use well the vires Di Boni afford us; Then let nations combine, Britain never can fall;

She's multum in parvo--a match for them all.
