Destined with restless foot to roam,
Olid Time, a venerable sage,
Reaches a tiver’s brink, and—* Come,”
He cries, * have pity on my age.
What ! on these banks forgetten I,
Who mark each moment with my glass!
Hear, damsels, hear my supplant ery,
And courteously help TIME to pass.”
Reclining on the farther shore,
Full many a gentle nymph look’d.on;
And, fain to speed his passage o'er,
Made Love, their boatsman, fetch the

But one, of all the group most staid,
Still wain’d her venturous mates—-“Alas,
How oft has ship-wreck whelm’d tbe

Whose pity would help Time to pass
Lightly his boat across the stream. ~ +
Love guides, his hoary freight receives,
And, uttering mid the sunny gleam,
His canvas to the breezes gives:
