TO MUSIC.
Hail! Heavenly Maid, my pensive mind, Invokes thy woe-subduing strain;For there a shield my soul can find, Which subjugates each dagger'd pain. When beauty spurns the lover's sighs, 'Tis thine soft pity to inspire;And cold indifference vanquish'd lies, Beneath thy myrtle-vested lyre. Oh! could contention's demon hear Thy seraph voice, his blood-lav'd spearHe'd drop, and own thy power;That smiling o'er each hapless land, Sweet peace might call her hallow'd band, To crown the festive ho...ur.
TO ****** 0 Nymph! with cheeks of roseate hue, Whose eyes are violets bath'd in dew, So liquid, languishing, and blue, How they bewitch me!Thy bosom hath a magic spell, For when its full orbs heave and swell, I feel--but, oh! I must not tell, Lord! how they twitch me!
ON THE DEATH OF GENERAL WASHINGTON.
Lamented Chief! at thy distinguish'd deeds The world shall gaze with wonder and applause, While, on fair hist'ry's page, the patriot reads Thy matchless valor in thy country's cause.
Yes, it was thine amid destructive war, To shield it nobly from oppression's chain;By justice arm'd, to brave each threat'ning jar, Assert its freedom, and its rights maintain.
