¢ ' JULIA’S GRAVE.
: CUNNINGHAM.
. Wanc—Lacax \VaTer,
&e briery biclds, whare roses blaw,
Y: duwery fells an’ sunny braes,
Wh ise scrogzie bosoms fuster’da’
The pleasuces 0’ my youthlu’ days;
“A nang you leafy simmer clacs
And blushin’ blooms the z:phyr flies,
Bynes winze awa, and wanton pays
Around the grave were Julia lies
Mae mair your benny birken bowers,
Your streamlets fair and woodlands gay,
Can cheer the weary winged hours,
~ As uptheglenl joyless stray:
Fora’ my hopes hae flown away, )
And, when they veach’d their native
skies,
$.eft me amid the world o” away,
To weet the grave whare Julia liege
$: isua beauty’s fairest bloom,
It isna maiden charms counsign’d,
d hurried to an early tomb,
That wriugs my heart and clouds my
mind ; ;
Put sparkling wit and sense refin dy
And spotless truth without disguise,
akes me with sighs enrich the wind
¥ lat fana the grave whare Julia lies.

THE CONTRAST.
Pow lively ave the Roses hues, |,
When men its op’ning bloony-displays,
WW iian spangled with celestial dews,
; It meets the early flovist’y pazes
Put far wove lively are the ii bs that glow,
~ And o'er Maria’s cheeks thelr radiance
throw,

Mow rich the pure nectareous bliss,
The honey siecling pirate tastes,
s macer tor the blushing Kiss,
: From leaf to icaf he trembling hastes
Put far nore pure, more lasting joy he
reaps, SNELL
Who tastes all pleasure on Maria’s lips.
Securely Nature round the Rose,
Has pisc’d a thorn entangled guard,
Whilst Venus gainst Maria’s foes,
An host of Cupids has, prepar’d :
3+ io your hand you fear the thorny smart,
Maria shun—her Cupids wound the heart.
