FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
MR. FENNO,
I NOW fend you a third Elegv, which is the only remaining one
that I ll.all pubhlh. Ido not know but that ihe situation ot
mind whioh I am now going to describe is entirely new ; at least,
I never remember to have heard it taken notice of. Congrcve, in
one of his Comedies, m kes a lover fay that, irritated with ihe
treatment ot his milliefs, he had dete, mined to forget her T«
aiEft himfelf in conquering his pallion, he made . lift of her im
perfrfl.ons; which begot by hear!, and repeated sco ten, »to
become, at length, attached to them. This appears natural lor
the habit of thinking on any thing, for a long time, ««
renders that habit agreeable—and generally me thing itfel.. I his
may poflibly account for what lam going to mention. It is now
ieveral years since I found myfeff prompted to write he si.st
Elegy. I need not relate to you what have been my feelings in
the mean time; the iwo pieces which I have already sent you Suf
ficiently declare, them. The custom of dedicating a particular
part of every dav for the purpose of rrflefling on a fubjt ft which
so much interested me, has induced a _ h * b '< v "y P le * fl "2'
Jo be departed Irom without pain. Ihe efteft o tus a>l as
been to place the obiett of my affettions always in a y vtt 1
and it has, latterly, been conftaml) attended with delight So
far am I wedded 10 this enjoyment, that 1 much fufpeft whether
any afiei fnuation in life will be able wholly to take it from me.
And so much have 1 accustomed myfelf to think of her with plea
sure, that I believe, even her marriage with another per Ton, (it he
were refprflable, and capable of making her happy) would hard
ly so far afftft my habit of contemplating her, as to make it
painful. r
I have placed these remarks before the Elegy, to prepare o e
who read it for what they might other wife condemn as a ingi.a
ritv, without existence in natuie. Few perlons feel interefttd in
things of this kind—-and in truth few things are so vi gu nig as
what aie commonly called Love Elegies. There seems to be an
indelicacy in a perion's making his afFeflions public, hicn oc
the mind too much lor it to relifli the beauty of verle, or t e pic
tures of paflion. Perhaps I deceive myfelf—but had I not though
that the pieces, which I i ave sent you, would be of ule to man
kind, the considerations already mentioned would have deterred
me from fending them.
ELEGY 111.
FROM the wild futy of the tyrant Love
Escaped, a gentle paflion fills mv breast,
That whispers peace, and calls my foul to prove
The milder influence of AfFe£lion's reft.
Soul of my foul ! where'er I chance to fir ay.
Thy pleasing image cheers the rugged road ;
Smooths with frefh fmilesthe variegated way,
And gives delight to Sorrow's bleak abode.
Still as I view thee, in whatever light,
Thou look'ft perfe£Hon to my partial eyes;
In female worth most excellently bright,
In woman's real duty truly wife.
Where, with such moving, such affe&ing grace.
Is filial piety so fair difplay'd ?
The look of love, of sympathy the face,
Is thine, to fond eft. parents, happy maid.
In all the bufnefs ojdomijlic life,
Thy toils relieve a darling mother's cares ;
And, a bright emblem of a worthy wife,
Thy hand the labors of the houflioid (hares.
Studious of fciertce, silently retired,
I fee thee bending o'er the page of truth ;
And with unceasing vigilance inspired,
Deriving knowledge from the tales of youth.
Thine is the power to ope the liberal flores
Of real tearjiing, and to seize the spoil;
To mark its ft ream of treasure as it pours,
And pierce the fountain wilh rewarded toil.
The slanderous charge of vain and haughty man,
Who talks of female pedantry and pride,
Affefls not thee ; felf-taught on wisdom's plan,
Who fhew'ft the inflruftion which thou feem'ft to hide.
Thine is that fecrct, and that namelefsgrace,
By Grangers honor'd, or thy fell their gucft,
Which lights up pleasure in each circling face,
And yileds foft ease to every anxious breast.
Thine too that dignity of female charms
Which gives fair order to the feftive dance;
And that accoidant ge,ntlenejs which charms
The foul with force frefH pleasures to advance.
In friend/Jiip's confidential hour, 'tis thine
The heart, attentive to thy voice, to cheer;
To ope afle&ion's inexhaufted mine,
And waken pity's sympathetic tear.
" Still let me view thee in this pleasing light,"
Mistress of every power the foul to move ;
From the fweetattion spreading mild delight,
To that which thrills with agonizing love.
Arm'd with Anticipation's eagle eye,
I pierce the mystic veil offuture life-,
And, with unutterable pleasure, spy
In thee the glory of a perfett wife.
At home, abroad, with strangers, or with friends,
Thy deeds, delighting, spread around thee joy ;
Thy steps accordant extacy attends,
And bliss, whose transports live without alloy.
With the fame look that holds thy husband's heart,
And binds to thee his confidence and love,
I fee thy eyes a mother's fmilcf impart,
Thy lips paiental tenderness improve.
Thy flattering hand, and loved embrace, delight
The child whose little lips are raised to thine ;
Thy hand maternal rocks, the winter night,
The infant cradle where thy hopes recline.
Oft as the lips of innocence are prefs'd,
\M ith all a parent's fondnefs, parent's zeal,
To thy carefling, and supporting breast,
I fee the look of rapture o'er thee steal.
And as thy arms their lovely charge sustain,
Whose little sports the tears of joy beguile,
I fee thy prayer a heavenly audience gain,
And draw from heaven an approbating ftnile.
And now futuritys loved pi&ures fly
\n real life I fee thee as thou art;
A friend whose cares can dry the tearful eye,
And breathe calm comfoit to the unhappy heart.
Now should my constancy hereafter fail
1 o win thy tongue to answering words of love,
May one more worthy, and refined, prevail
Thy yielding heart with paflion's power to move,
For with such pure, diuntereftcd carr,
I wish ihy weal, 'twould be my highefl joy,
Thy love forgotten, and unfelt despair,
To fee thy bliss a good man's tho'ts employ.
Yes, I could fee him fold thre in his aims,
And drain thy beauties to his raptured heart ;
And bend, enainour'd, o'er thy world of chatvns;
If ihou 10 me would fritndfhip's balm impart.
■ O come, with lenient care my spirit loothe,
Exalt each noble virtue of my foul ;
Win it to fnendfllip, dignity, and truth,
And bid the Muse's bleiTing o'er it roll!
