A FATHER'S MISGIVINGS CONCERNING HIS SON'S DESPETER HOPKINS'S GENEROSITY.

TINATION.

DA

NIEL IS SENT ABROAD TO GRADUATE IN MEDICINE.

Heaven is the magazine wherein He puts

Both good and evil; Prayer's the key that shuts
And opens this great treasure: 'tis key

Whose wards are Faith and Hope and Charity.
Wouldst thou prevent a judgement due to sin?

Turn but the key and thou may'st lock it in.
Or wouldst thou have a blessing fall upon thee?
Open the door, and it will shower on thee !

QUARLES.

Glory to Thee in thine omnipotence,

O Lord who art our shield and our defence,
And dost dispense,

As seemeth best to thine unerring will,

(Which passeth mortal sense)

The lot of Victory still;

Edging sometimes with might the sword unjust;

And bowing to the dust,

The rightful cause, that so such seeming ill

May thine appointed purposes fulfil;

Sometimes, (as in this late auspicious hour

For which our hymns we raise,)

Making the wicked feel thy present power;

Glory to thee and praise,

Almighty God, by whom our strength was given !
Glory to Thee, O Lord of Earth and Heaven!

VOYAGE TO ROTTERDAM AND LEYDEN. THE AUTHOR DESCRIBE THAT CITY. WHAT

CANNOT TARRY TO

HAPPENED THERE TO DANIEL DOVE.

He took great content, exceeding delight in that his voyage. As who doth not that shall attempt the like?-For peregrination charms our senses with such unspeakable and sweet variety, that some count him unhappy that never travelled, a kind of prisoner, and pity his case that from his cradle to his old age he beholds the same still; still, still, the same, the same!

SHEWING HOW THE YOUNG STUDENT FELL IN LOVEAND HOW HE MADE THE BEST USE OF HIS MISFORTUNE.

H creder, donne vaghe, è cortesia,

Quando colui che scrive o che favella,
Possa essere sospetto di bugia,

Per dir qualcosa troppo rara e bella.
Dunque chi ascolta questa istoria mea
E non la crede frottola o novella
Ma cosa vera--come ella è di fatto,
Fa che di lui mi chiami soddisfatto
E pure che mi diate piena fede,

De la dubbiezza altrui poco mi cale.

OF THE VARIOUS WAYS OF GETTING IN LOVE. A CHAP

TER CONTAINING SOME USEFUL OBSERVATIONS, AND

SOME BEAUTIFUL POETRY,

Let cavillers know, that as the Lord John answered the Queen in that Italian Guazzo, an old, a grave discreet man is fittest to discourse of love-matters; because he hath likely more experience, observed more, hath a more staid judgement, can better discern, resolve, discuss, advise, give better cautions and more solid precepts, better inform his auditors in such a subject, and by reason of his riper years, sooner divert.

THE AUTHOR'S LAST VISIT TO DONCASTER.

Fuere quondam hæc sed fuere ;
Nunc ubi sint, rogitas? Id annos
Scire hos oportet scilicet. O bonæ
Musa, O Lepôres-O Charites mera!

O gaudia offuscata nullis
Litibus! O sine nube soles !
