POETICAL EXERCISES IN PARSING.-LESSON 24.
Whatever is, is right;-this world, 'tis true,
Was made for Cesar;-but for Titus too.

And which more blessed? Who chain'd his country, say,
Or he whose virtue sigh'd to lose a day?

There is a time when toil must be prefer'd,
Or joy, by mistim'd fondness is undone;-
A man of pleasure is a man of pains.
Man, like the generous vine, supported lives;
The strength receiv'd is from the embrace he gives.
All this dread order break? for whom?

For thee? Vile worm! O madness! pride! impiety!

1. Well', old gentleman', thou hast come again,
To give poor mortals another cold embrace`;
But still, I see', in thy forbearing mien',
Some smiles of comfort in thy frosty face.
2. Extend thy snowy mantle o'er the world',
And', with thy icy sceptre', tyrant', reign';
O'er nature fair', thy tempests may be hurl'd',
And northern blasts may sweep along the plain';-

3. Thou wilt not hurt my little thatched cot',
As thou rid'st tow'ring on the passing gale';
But', pause', delighted with my happy lot',
And', whistling, listen to the evening tale'.

4. But if thou caperest round my house', and storm',
And troublest with thy chills an honest soul',
I warn thee now', beware thy grisly form',

I'll burn thee', like a wood-chuck', from thy hole'.
5, Stay, stay, old fellow'; I recall that threat';-
I feel my powers are weaker far thine`;

Should I attempt to make thy noddle sweat',
I fear one smack from thee, might shiver mine`.

POETICAL EXERCISES IN PARSING.-LESSON 28,

Echo, in his airy round, o'er the river, rock, and hill,
Cannot catch a single sound, save the clack of yonder mill.
As the trout, in speckled pride, playful from its bosom springs,
To the banks a ruffi'd tide, verges in successive rings.
On earth, nought precious is obtain'd,
But what is painful too;

By travail, and to travail, born,

Our Sabbaths are but few.

I sigh not for beauty, nor languish for wealth-
But grant me, kind Providence, virtue and health.
In books, or work, or healthful play,
Let my first hours be past,

That I may give for every day,
Some good account at last.

READING. LESSON 30.

The young Traveller to his Mother.

1. What shall I bear thee', Mother', dear',
When thy embrace again I greet',

And feel upon my cheek', the tear

That flows when child' and parent meet'?

2. What shall I bear thee? wealth and fame',
Or gems that glow beneath the wave'?
Gold have I none'; and glory's flame',
Hath seldom shone but on the grave'.

3. Nor wealth, nor fame', nor gems', to thee,
My Mother', will thy offspring bear';
Mean such rewards', indeed', they'd be
For all thy love'; for all thy care'.

4. But I will bring to thy kind breast',
What Heaven nor thou wilt e'er reject';
A wasted form', pale sorrow's guest',
A broken heart'; a spirit wreck'd'.

GRAMMAR.-LESSON 28.

Poetical Exercises in Parsing.

What e'er the passion, knowledge, fame, or pelf,
Not one will change his neighbour for himself.
The learned are happy, nature to explore,
The fool is happy, that he knows no more.
The rich are happy, in the plenty given,
The poor are happy, with the cares of heaven.
See the blind beggar dance, the cripple sing,
The sot a hero, and the dolt a king.
See some fit person, ev'ry age supply:
Hope travels on, nor quits us when we die.
