But all's not right in this poor heart

There blue-eyed amethyst is seen, Yet why should I his loss deplore?

And emerald of lively green; It was indeed a pang to part,

Pity and youth in fond embrace, But when he comes he'll rove no more: Soft image of the ductile race! And all to-day can laugh at sorrow,

The topaz, rich in golden ray, When sure of being blest to-morrow.

His place let adamant supply, No! no-be cannot come to-morrow!

Behold the jewel's mild display!
When full-blown roses fade and fall,

No dross adheres to cloud her ray; We musi ng mark the doom of all;

But beautiful, angelic, bright, When yellow autumn, drooping, sear,

She cheers and gladdens mortal sight! Is gemm’d by winter's frozen tear;

| 'Tis mercy! loveliest, rarest gem! When groas their tuneful choirs dismiss,

Despots at will my choice condemo! Nor echo hears an hymn of bliss

Mercy! more precious than renown,
We mourn not beauty's final fate,

The noblest jewel in a monarch's crown!
Each season had its fullest date.
But oh! if in the youth of spring,
Ere opes the bnd, ere fledged the wing,

WHAT IS IN A NAME?
Ere smiling rosebuds bail the morn,
And only Love's sweet hopes are born-

FORTUNE imparts to every plan
Should treach'rous rust, or icy gale,

Which rises from the mind of man, Change damask tints to lifeless pale;

A name and pature double : Then 'stead of spring's inspiring glow,

Whether 'tis sense or folly's dream,

Supported, 'tis a noble scheme,
We grasp the vase of charmless woe;
Weave cypress where delight should bloom-

Without support-a bubble!
