SONNET, BY JAMES EDmeston. SORROW turns the red rose white, And chastens the flame of the wildest eye, And swells the bosom with many a sigh: And bids the notes more softly flow, In mellow'd tones of woe. Yet lovelier far is the cheek of Grief, And lovelier far is the song of Grief, SONNET, ON VIEWING THE GRAVE OF CHURCHILL, AT DOVER. BY ARTHUR BROOKE. CHURCHILL although thy misdirected song The Muse has graced thee with a poet's name, Princes shall perish-kings must be forgot, (Save where in lasting shame some tyrant lies); But in the tomb, whate'er its earthly lot, Genius exults-the poet never dies! Still shall some answering hearts in homage bow, Though o'er the humblest turf,-as mine does now. END OF PART I. APPENDIX. No. I. TRIALS AND LAW PROCEEDINGS. STATE TRIALS.
