MOTHER'S LOSS OF HER CHILD.

"For, since the birth of Cain the first male child,
To him that did but yesterday suspire,

There was not such a gracious creature born.

-Grief fills the room up of my absent child,
Lies in his bed, walks up and down with me,
Puts on his pretty looks, repeats his words,
Remembers me of all his gracious parts,
Stuffs out his vacant garments with his form:
Then have I reason to be fond of grief."

"Here woman reigns, the mother, daughter, wife,
Strews with fresh flowers the narrow vale of life;
In the clear heaven of her delighted eye,
An angel-guard of loves and graces lie;
Around her knees domestic duties meet,
And fireside pleasures gambol at her feet.
Where shall that land, that spot of earth be found?
Art thou a man?-a patriot ?-look around;
Oh! thou shalt find, where'er thy footsteps roam,
This land thy country, and this spot thy home."

Or bid me go into a new-made grave,

And hide me with a dead man in his shroud;

Things that, to hear them told, have made me tremble;

And I will do it without fear or doubt,

To live an unstain'd wife to my sweet love.

O! happy love! where love like this is found;

O! heartfelt rapture! bliss beyond compare!

I've paced much this weary, mortal round,
And sage experience bids me this declare-

"If heaven a draught of heavenly pleasure spare,"
One cordial in this melancholy vale,

'Tis when a youthful, loving, modest pair,

In other's arms breathe out the tender tale,

Beneath the milk-white thorn that scents the ev'ning gale."
