      VERSES ON THE DEATH OF THE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE . [ From the Newspapers . ] There is an outward pomp , a garb of woe , That sometimes follows sovereigns to the tomb : There is a soul-felt grief that sighs at home

      And presses on the heart . The great , the low Alike feel this : and , oh lamented shade , To thy dear loss shall every rite be paid , And the sad tear of fond affection flow ! 'Tis not the sable garb , the room of State , The minute bell that tells the fatal tale j—Shf , She is gone for whom we felt elate ;

      'Tis the fond wife , the mother , we bewail , Young , loving * and beloved 5 the good , the great , She was a nation ' s hope—a nation ' s pride : With her that pride has fled—those hopes have died . Bromley * Middlesex * Nov . 6 , 1817 .

      VERSES Written by a Lady during her pregnancy and given to her husband after her safe delivery * a few days subsequent to a ( ate much-lamented event .

      [ From the Times . J MY God , whose all-directing power Hath brought me to this awful hour , Thy suppliant deign to hear : Ah ! wherefore are my spirits fled ? Why feels my heart this solemn dread ? Art Thou not always near ?

      Then turn not , Lord , thy face away , Pour on my soul Hope ' s cheering ray , Strengthen my feeble frame : Loj on the couch of sorrow laid , Dark clouds seem gathering round my head And pain succeeds to pain .

      Deeper and deeper sinks my soul ; Suspence ! how heavy tby contronl Weighs on the feeble mind ! No hope have I in human skill , Except God ' s purpose to fulfil , Oh , be that purpose kind I

      A moment and my life is gone , Or doubly saved , thy will be done On earth as in the skies : My prayer is heard , away my fears , That heavenly sound salutes my ears , A new-horn infant ' s cries !

      ELEGIAC LINES * ON THE SUDDEN DEATH OF AN INFANT . Non omnia terrae Obruta ! Vivit amor , vivit dolor ! Ora negatur Dulcia conspicere ; at flere et memhrisse relictum est .

      She droop'd and died , ah ! fatal hour ! The sweetest and the loveliest flow ' r—Charm of our life , our daily theme , The golden vision of each dream ! Like fleecy snow , the waters bore ,-f-A moment seen , then seen no more !

      All lies not buried in the earth , Tho" hope hath perish'd in its birth—Grief , rooted in the heart , still thrives , And self-tormenting love survives!—Of her endearing form bereft , Yet tears and iheui ' ry artill are Jefl ! Nov 18 . * . * .

      * Adapted to an old Welsh air , harmonized by Mr . Major , -f See Burns .

      Toll , Britain , loll Thy knell the deepest . Peace to thy soul , Fair Saint , that sleepest . Veil tby valour-blazon'd throne , Where olive rich with laurel shone ,

      DIRGE ON THE FUNERAL OF THE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE OF WALES . BY J . F M . DOVASTON , ESQ . A . M . AUTHOR OF " THE BRITISH MELODIES , " &C . [ Mwynen Gwynedd—( The Melody of North Wales ) . Welsh Air harmonized ]

      Its glory ' s now with willows strown , United nations spread them . Cambria ' s tripple plume of snow , That danc'd in Joy ' s elastic flow , With heavy teardrops glimmers low , United nations shed them .

      O ' er Albion s bier Mourn , while ye show ' r it , Her roses there , Both flow ' r and flow ' ret . Thistle , bend thy blossoms red ; Thy pearly dew-drops , Shamrock shed - And , neighbour Lily , bow thy head ,

      With long * , long farewell greet her Drooping" wail her obsequies , Then up , and hail her to the skies , And hope another bud may rise , But never hope a sweeter . Oh ! England ' s rose , Oh I Hope ' s presuming 5 Both thee and those

      Now we ' re entombing . Mind of Freedom * . Heart of Worth , To glow at Altar , Helm , or Hearth , With all that promis ed Peace on earth , To thee was largely given .
