    Knowing as much of what may thence betide us , As George the Second * did * of Georgiiira Sidus . Rare € * nigri cygni" mid the lawn-sleeve peers Are men like Watson , Sutton , Bathurst , Carey ;

    And some have been , who should have lived some yeara Ago—perhaps , under the gentle Mary : ( Men call her bloody , but I have my fears To name legitimates in terms unwary ; And , if she loved a pious human Bonfire , What ' s that to me—except a hint to shun fire ?)

    Yet truth , for all that human things can do , Sails , like the steam-boat , with or ' gainst the tide Nor will she rest , till she have struck down two Divine usurpers from their thrones of pride ; Till she have proved how mortals have to rue

    That e ' er they left their guardian angel's side— - Reared o ' er the nations her unsetting star , And made her go-cart a triumphal car . Sir William Temple said , that truth , like cork , Would float at length , the highest of the high : True—there is ever a reactive work

    SONNET Written in Burbage Wood , June 21 , 1824 . I love to be alone , and in this mood , — Oh that the charjn would last ;—I feel not now—Or rather I more deeply feel and know The littleness of life , —of man .- ^ -Sweet wood ! I oft have sought thy shades so lone and dim , —

    I love thy mingled sounds of bird and stream ;—There is devotion in the woodland hymn ; There is religion , —that which throws a gleam

    On things unseen , or seen but in the mind , — The will original of God , —the plan Of nature , —for it gives that hope refined , Which elevates to heaven the soul of man ; cc There is a spirit in the woods "—the flowers , — When shall its inspiration pure be fully ours ! Hinckley . JOSEPH DARE .
