M.P.; OR, THE BLUE-STOCKING. SONG. SUSAN. YOUNG Love lived once in an humble shed, And woodbines wreathing Around the lattice their tendrils spread, For young Hope nourish'd The infant buds with beams and showers; But lips, though blooming, must still be fed, And not even Love can live on flowers. Alas! that Poverty's evil eye Should e'er come hither, Such sweets to wither! The flowers laid down their heads to die, She came one morning, Ere Love had warning, And raised the latch, where the young god lay; "Oh ho!" said Love-" is it you? good-by; So he oped the window, and flew away! To sigh, yet feel no pain, To weep, yet scarce know why; To kneel at many a shrine, Yet lay the heart on none; To think all other charms divine, This is love, careless love, Such as kindleth hearts that rove. To keep one sacred flame, To such refined excess, That though the heart would break with more, We could not live with less; This is love, faithful love, Such as saints might feel above. SPIRIT of Joy, thy altar lies In youthful hearts that hope like mine; And 'tis the light of laughing eyes That leads us to thy fairy shrine. There if we find the sigh, the tear, They are not those to sorrow known; But breathe so soft, and drops so clear, That bliss may claim them for her own. Then give me, give me, while I weep, The sanguine hope that brightens woe, And teaches even our tears to keep The tinge of pleasure as they flow. The child who sees the dew of night Are lost, when touch'd, and turn'd to pain; The tears they waken long remain. But give me, give me, &c., &c. WHEN Leila touch'd the lute, Such breath from simple wire, To string with gold her lyre? Sweet lute! thy chords she breaketh; But where are all the tales Her lute so sweetly told? And soft ones suit not gold. BOAT GLEE. THE song that lightens the languid way And faint with rowing, Is like the spell of Hope's airy lay, Nothing is lost on him who sees With an eye that feeling gave ;- And faint with rowing, "Tis like the spell of Hope's airy lay, To whose sound through life we stray. OH think, when a hero is sighing, But the smile of a victor would take it; No bosom can slumber so sound, But the trumpet of glory will wake it. Love sometimes is given to sleeping, Has power at those moments to rouse him. But though he was sleeping so fast, That the life almost seem'd to forsake him, Even then, one soul-thrilling blast From the trumpet of glory would wake him. The eyes of fun Was sure to have the kisses in A Lottery, a Lottery, &c. This Lottery, this Lottery, In Cupid's court went merrily, A Jewish trade In this his scheming Lottery; In shares he sold To many a fond believing drone, And cut the hearts In sixteen parts, So well each thought the whole his own.
