OH, for a son of bright-eyed glory, That sweeping o'er the chorded shell Oh, for a soul, that loved to ride To those that grace her honour'd walls. Her banner bright unfurl'd: Hope could not lead astray, Fear might not bar their way; They sav'd a sinking world. What though with giant force Yes, and it pass'd that night of sorrow, The sun, that to the waves For every soul in every land was free. Beam'd brightly as a comet star; And his mild spirit groan'd to see What boots to tell, how o'er his grave Of transient love begotten; Oh woman, nurse of hopes, and fears, Elate of heart, and big with borrow'd fame, All lovely in thy spring of years, The dark Adventurer came; sky Thy soul in blameless mirth possessing- More lovely in affliction's tears Most lovely still those tears suppressing! Changed be the note, and once again Strike, harp, a loud triumphant strain ; Fill high the cup of praise To Him, who, in that desperate night, sun, Finish'd the holy war his glorious Sire begun. INDEX INDICATORIUS. We feel greatly indebted to a variety of kind Correspondents who have furnished us with particular details of the festivities, the benevolence, and the illuminations, in almost every Town and Village in the Kingdom. We cordially join them in their rejoicings; and can only wish that our limits would permit us to particularize their loyalty and generosity. INQUISITOR will be obliged by any information concerning the property, personal and real, left by Lieut.-gen. Frampton, who died at Butley Abbey, Suffolk, Sept. 23, 1749; and also of his family. P, 315. In the elegant Inscription on Sir John Moore, l. 15, ɛr before GALLIS should be erased. JOHN TAYLOR COLERIDGE, We are obliged to L. D. for his remarks. He would find, if he favoured us with his own Lucubrations, that neither the vanity of A. or of B. or the garrulous loquacity of C. or of D. would supersede his communications.-In some of his observations we agree with him; to others we dissent. Births and Marriages (unless well authenticated) are purposely curtailed. The Obituary is of infinitely more consequence; in which our original arrangement is still preserved, except where we cannot ascertain the exact days on which the parties died in such cases, classing them in Counties, we conceive, assists the Reader. There are more appropriate channels for a regular History of the Drama.” 64 |
