ORIGINAL POETRY.

A FAMILIAR STORY.

It was a winter morning. I had turned
Into a shop to buy some glittering thing
For poor Cecilia: many a golden toy,
Crusted with diamonds and gems lay there,
And he who sold them, with obsequious look,
Watch'd every motion, and commended much
His wares, their workmanship and rare device,
The water of each stone, its size and hue.
I stood there undetermined, when a man
Came slowly in. He shook the rain away,
And wip'd the blinding sleet from off his eyes,
(I thought I saw a tear) and in a voice
Of proud, yet hesitating sadness, told
The master of the house, he wish'd to sell
Some trifles-for a friend. The fellow scowled,
And, in impatient utterance, bade him wait.
The colour mounted to the stranger's cheek;
But quick subsiding, left a paleness there-
More visible than before; and then he sigh'd
Like one who must endure the sharp neglects
And scoffings of this money-getting world.
I could not suffer this: I am not wont
(You know it) to heap weights upon the fallen,
So gave up my precedence. I mark'd well
The stranger's look: It was the face of one
Who had spent a life in study,-deeply mark'd
As if the lightning of the passions had
Been there and marr'd it. On his lips there sate
A melancholy smile. Shyly he glanc'd
Around, then softly whispered his demand.
It was too much-the tradesman's look replied.
'You cannot then?' he spoke-then, with a sigh,
And such a look as man gives when he parts
With all he loves for ever, did he thrust
His shaking hand into his breast, and pluck'd
A bauble thence-a picture, as I thought:
He held the thing in silence for a time,
Clench'd hard-at last, relaxing from his grasp,
He seem'd to venture on a glance, and wip'd
The dimness from the glass, and laid it down,
Pointing toward it." Dead Victoria,"
(He shuddered as he spoke) "the last is gone,
The last memorial now has passed away.
Must it be thus?—and yet, what matters it?—
Art thou not writ upon my heart for ever?—
If thou canst hear me from thy starry home,
Thy home amongst the angels, pity me,
And pardon that I here do give thee up.-
(Thy likeness)- sell thee, beauty, to defray
The bitter world's necessities. Not for me,
Not for my wretched self, abandon'd, lost.
Oh! I could stare upon misfortune still
With a bold front, and bid my grief be dumb;
For I have been accustom'd long to face
The biting winds of winter-man's neglect-
Injustice, hate, bitter and freezing want,-
Without a hope, save one-beyond the grave."
He push'd the picture from him, and beseech'd
The man to keep it for a time-perhaps
He might redeem it. But let me end my tale:
I made a friend and sav'd him; and when I'
Sate in darkest anguish by my dying bride,
And rav'd and curs'd the world, and did abjure
Heav'n and its mighty mercies, he did tend
(This stranger) like a minist' ring spirit round
My couch, and saved me from a bloody death.
He soothed iny angusih, and did lead my
thoughts

THE VENUS DE MEDICIS.

Array'd in nought but her own loveliness
She stands, a being of celestial mien,
Such as, 'tis said, the gods did once caress;

In form-in grace, the type of beauty's queen 'Twould seem that genius once, with soaring wing,

On nature's privacy had stol'n so near,
That, as her hand was sweetly fashioning,
A faultless being for some brighter sphere,
He bore the image in his eye away,

And, swift descending to his native earth, With one impassion'd touch impress'd that clay,

And gave the paragon of beauty birth.

LINES,

EVAN.

Written at an Inn within sight of Consbro' Castle, Yorkshire.

(A Scene in the Romance of Ivanhoe)
Here lofty Consbro' rears his crest sublime,
Tho' full of years, yet unsubdued by Time:
As some proud chief, still destined to command,
In feudal pomp o'erlooks the prostrate land.
His ample form with vernal honours graced,
Whose shelt'ring beauty hides wide Havoc's
waste.

The smiling Vale that peaceful rests below;
The gliding stream meandring in its flow,
In fitful flash reflecting beams of light,
As windings give it to the dazzled sight,
Save when it wanders on in sombre mood,
Beneath the margin of the darkening wood.
The grey smoke wafted by the gentle gale,
That scarce with motion stirs the slacken'd sail;
And nigh the splashing mill a mingled sound
Is heard to rise mysteriously profound,
As if some dire Enchanter's magic spell
Escap'd in echoes from his secret cell.
Ofttimes upon the breeze soft notes ascend,
But soon in harsher strains discordant end.

[blocks in formation]

The works of the Messrs. Walker of Rotherham, for the boring of cannon.

of the sylvan scenery in which Ivanhoe is laid, + These lines were written, and many sketches were taken as singularly beautiful, by the artist from whose pen they came, many years ago. This shows how fine an eye the author of that romance has for nature, and how accurate, as well as picturesque, are his descriptions. Of the effect of this book we could cite no higher instance than that of a gentleman, who after reading the account of the Tournament, and rising to go out, called his servant to bring his helmet, instead of hat. The general power of these novels has never been more highly and happily expressed than by a literary lady, who is so enthusiastic an admirer of them, as to say, "It is a happy thing to live in this age, were it only for the pleasure of reading them."

HODGE.

The wild winds blow,
Fast falls the snow,
And Nature looketh drear:
The fields and trees
The shepherd sees

Deck'd in their wintry gear.

The gobbling ducks,

The hen that clucks,

And cock that struts so bold:

The lowing cows,

And bleating ewes.

Seem pinched by the cold.

The toiling steed

Regrets the mead

Where he was wont to browse;

The lazy hog

Grunts at the dog

That keeps him from the house.

But Grey-malkin,

All snug within,

Enjoys the blazing fire;
And sleek and fat,

Doth gently pat

The mouse that dares her ire.

Now Hodge returns!
The faggot burns,

The sparkling ale goes round;
The brown nuts too
Appear in view,

And mirth and glee abound.
The rosy maid,
Of man afraid,
Refuses to be kist;
And matrons grey
Fling care away,

To play at loo and whist,
Such are the joys-
No care annoys

The happy countryman;
The winter howls,
The north witch scowls-
Hodge higher fills his can!

M. Sournois, a restaurateur, takes place of King Danaus. He has fifty daughters, who are married to their fifty cousins. Cupid is irritated that Hymen should thus deprive him of so many subjects, and he deputes a dream to M. Sournois, which gives him the nightmare; and informs him that one of the bridegrooms intends to send him ad patres. Terrified at this warning, Sournois, who has not been made acquainted with the name of the delinquent, thinks the surest way is to dispatch all his sons-in-law at once.

He summons his daughters to meet him in the evening in the cellar. Cupid, who is also in attendance, examines the casks, and finds in one of them fifty knives, which he transforms into fifty daggers.

This scene resembles one in Gombaud's tragedy of the Dainaides: when Danaus exhorts his daughters to murder their husbands, one of them seriously askɔ :—

"Pour leur donner la mort, comment les prendrons nous ?"

"Il faut les enivrer"replies Danaus. Hypermnestra then observes that her husband never sleeps, and that the strongest wine cannot intoxicate him. In this instance the tragic poet is at least as burlesque as the author of the parody.

Madelaine prevails on her dear Pincée to fly. The forty-nine bridegrooms retire to rest, and soon meet their fate. Their ghosts are seen rising to heaven, with their cotton night caps; and Sournois and his daughters are hurled to the infernal regions, where they are doomed to endure endless grotesque torments.

A child of little more than seven years of age, named Faustin Hugues, is at present the object of enthusiastic admiration at Naples, for his extraordinary performances on the violin.

The History of the Northern Portion of Ancient Wiltshire is written on the same plan with the former Division of the County, South Wiltshire, and will des cribe the Antiquities worthy of remark in the Northern District. This Portion forms the First Part of the present Division of the Work, and will terminate the Au thor's Researches, as far as regards the History of the Britons in Wiltshire.

The Size, Style of Printing, and the Embellishments, accord with the three Portions of the Work already published, forming the First Volume, or Southern Wiltshire; the present Division of the County will be completed in two Parts, formning the Second Volume, or Northern Wiltshire.

The few remaining Copies of the three preceding Parts of the History of Ancient Wiltshire may be had of the Publishers, price 41. 4s. each, or large Paper Gl. 68.
