Part i

Bent o'er her babe, her eye dissolved in dew; The big drops, mingling with the milk he drew, Gave the sad presage of his future years, The child of misery, baptized in tears.

1738-1819.

_Peter Pindar's Expostulatory Odes to a great Duke and a little Lord_. _Ode XV_.

Care to our coffin adds a nail, no doubt, And every grin, so merry, draws one out.

MRS. BARBAULD.

Man is the n.o.blest growth our realms supply, And souls are ripened in our northern sky.

SIR WILLIAM JONES.

Go boldly forth, my simple lay, Whose accents flow with artless ease, Like orient pearls at random strung.

_Ode in Imitation of Alcoeus_.

What const.i.tutes a state?

Men who their duties know, But know their rights, and, knowing, dare maintain.

And sovereign law, that state's collected will, O'er thrones and globes elate, Sits empress, crowning good, repressing ill.

Seven hours to law, to soothing slumber seven, Ten to the world allot, and all to heaven.[21]

[Note 21: "Six hours in sleep, in law's grave study six, Four spend in prayer, the rest on nature fix."--_Sir Edward c.o.ke_.]

CAPTAIN CHARLES MORRIS.

But optics sharp it needs, I ween, To see what is not to be seen.

No man e'er felt the halter draw, With good opinion of the law.
