THE SINNER. A Character. — Speak for thyself, and speak thus ; ""Which way I fly is hell, myself a hell, And in the lowest deep, a lower deep Still threat'ning to devour me, opens wide. " Milton. POEMS. Within my breast no virtues dwell, In vice ne'er hell could fiercer burn ; If any friend e'er use me well, I'm sure to curse him in return. I glory in the wretch's fate, My breast with pity ne'er could move; I rather court a mortal's hate, With all its weight, before his love. E'en with myself I... am at strife, I curse the very earth I tread; I'd rather change this tortur'd life, Though certain to be damn'd if dead. And always thus I pass my days. My mind is ne'er in a tranquil mood; Oh! could I but take better ways, Kefrain all vice, and turn to good! POEMS. 79 THE CONTRAST. "Had T to guid advice but harket, I might by this hae led a market, Or strutted in a bank and clarket My cash account, While here half mad, half fed, half sarket Is a' the amount. '' BcENS. The first eight verses of the following poem were written when the Author, then very young, had undertaken the unthankful office of Village Schoolmaster, and the remainder added when he had been several years a member of the Temperance Society.
