Ye Finny Tribes, by Nature gay,
That sport beneath the noontide ray,
Live yel as erst (in Memory's eye)
When love was young, and hope was high :
Renew, in thought, each sylvan scene,
On which my MARY smiled serene, —
Whom but to think I once possest
Makes yet the sunshine of my breast.

ENGRAVINGS ON WOOD

CONTINUED.

Come enjoy these rosy bowers,
Scenes of all my happiest hours,
Aid me closer to entwine,
Joys of music, love and wine :
Now we'll fish the streamlet blithe
Whilst the meadows court the scythe,
Ev'ry thought of pomp or wealth,
Lost in joys of rosy health!
