1 lov'd to seek, the cool retreat,
Within the dark and shady grove :
But sweeter far it was to meet,
My dearest friend the girl I love.
I lov'd to view the envious rose,
'Twas there thy semblance I could sec;
But ah, how sweet at twilight close,
Was the delight of meeting thee.
Late in a mild and pensive hour,
I gather'd thee a lovely flower;
But ah, they whither and decay,
For you are torn from me away.
'Twas late, I pluck'd a tender rose.
And water'd it with tears for thee;
That faded with my lost repose,
For you my love was torn from me.
Now when the toil of day is done,
No joys salute me when at home:
My peace of mind and rest is o'er,
For ah; I meet my love no more.
If liberty is gone from thee,

My ardent love, shall stronger be;
I'd know no rest I'd heed no pain,
Could I thy liberty regain.

But still the happy hour may come.
When Ps, will to reason turn;
Till then, my love, shall true remain:
And I shall meet my friend again.

PEACE AND THE SHEPHERD.

Down in a deep sequester'd vale,
Whence Alpine heights ascend,
A beauteous nymph, in pilgrim garb,
Is seen ber steps to bend.

Her olive garlanddrops with gore }

[ocr errors]

Her scatter'd tresses torn,

Her bleeding breast, her bruised feet

Bespeak a maid forlorn.

'From bower and hall, and palace driven To these lone walls I flee, My name is Peace, I love the cat;

O Shephered, shelter me!'

'O beauteous pilgrim, why dost thou

From bow and palace flee?
So soft thy voice, so sweet thy look,

Sure all would shelter thee.'
Like Noah's dove no rest 1 find;
The din of battle roars
Where once my steps I lov'd to print
Along the myrtle shores.
For ever in my frighted ears

The savage war whoop sounds;
And, like a panting hare, i fy

Before the op'ning hounds.'

Pilgrim those spiry groves among The mansions thou may'st see, Where cloiste.ed saints chaunt holy hymns,

Sure such would shelter thee?"

Those roofs with trophied banners stream,

Where martial bymns résound, And, shepherd, of, from crosier'd hands This breast has felt a wound.' Ah! gentle pilgrim, glad would I

These tones for ever hear! With thee to share my scanty lot,

That lot to me were dear,

But lo! along the vine-clad steep,
The gleam of armour shines;
His scatter'd flock, his straw-roof'd hut

The helpless swain resigns.

And now the mouldering flames aspire; Their lurid light I see; Thear the human wolves approach : I cannot shelter thee!'

THE BANDEAU OF LOVE; OR, THE

BLINDNESS OF DULILOT.

A Tale.

Nervalle's fears were not immediately jus ified: the tranquility in which she found herself in this respect determined her to propose to Dulilot, to go for her to Aix : it was on a business of some importance. Out of the wreck of her Fortune, Nerva'le had preserved a considerable sut., in bills of exchange, which till then had remained in the hands of a friend and trustee, who had not had it in his

power to transmit them to her before: these bills were drawn on the marchioness de Vorson at Aix. Nervalle knew no one in this town to whom she could entrust the commission of receiving them; Dulilot undertook the business, and set off to execute it. Arrived at Aix he went according to the ddress mentioned to the marchioness de Vorson's, she was not known,surprised, he made inquiry, hunted every where, and after the most diligent search, which prolonged his stay more than he would have wished, he saw him

[NO. 2.

self forced to return without having discovered any trace of this marchioness. Vexed at disappointment so unexpected, accusing only the dishonesty of madame de Voison, who he supposed had quitted the town to avoid her en-, gagements, and thinking only of the concern of his mistress on learning this unforeseen loss, he returned to Lyons full of sorrow and unquietude. His own situation contributed to afflicting reflec tions; his affairs were not in a good state, his trade neglected, the enormous expences that he had been at for Nervalle, reduced him to a melancholy situation, he hoped at least o deposit and forget part of his cares, at the feet of that adorable woman. He flew to her house on his arrival, to that house which he himself had furnished, where he saw comfort and taste, seconded by his liberality, embellish the abode of his dear Nervalle; but how great was his grief! Nervalle, during his absence, had quitted her house and the city, no news that might seem to trauquil, lize him respecting what could become of her. What surprised him more, was, that not only the jewels, but even the most trifling

you are convinced of her perfidy, beside we must find out your nicce.'

Here then were Dulilot and Debar once more running after Ner valle, the one for the pleasure of seeing her again, the other to confound her if posible. Being arrived at Langres, Debar, with his usual activity and intelligence, found means to discover the very place where she lodged; he took Dulilot thither,asked for a 100m for them both& went up to it with him while their supper was preparing. As As they were on the staircase, Debar peceived Nervalle, who was coming down at that moment, he hid his face with his hat, slipped in dexterously between her and his friend, and made the latter who was not attentive to his motions,enter the room. When they were there together, Debar told him that the inn to which he had brought him, was that where Nervalle lodged, that a young adventurer, who went by the name of the chevalier Daval, and whom she made pass for her husband accompanied her, and that she was really with child, as they had been told at Dijon. 'Have you see her?warmly interrupted Duilot.--Yes, I have seen her: and your doubts are absurd and offensive to me.' Dulilot confused did not dare to answer.Debar took advantage of this moment of indignation, to make him the warmest representations on the inconceivable error

by which he had suffered himsel to be blinded respecting this woman; then reverting to all her actions to begin by her ready and suspicious acceptance of the two louis d'ors on the Paris road, he demonstrated the falseness of their principal, the meaness of their end, and the contempt which they deserved. The zeal of friendship, that pure, warm and affecting zeal, annimated Debar's discourse; reason & justice gave him all the force and authority that he could derive from such supports; and he also seconded it by the obvious and pressing considerations of the misfortunes, the indigence and the contempt that had been brought upon him, by his weakness for a female adventurer unworthy the countenance of an honest man. A salutary impression was made on Dulilot's mind, his silence and his tears were an eloquent confession of his faults; his whole conduct announced a man disposed to follow the advice of his friend, though it were contrary to an inclination which he began to blame. Debar seizing this disposition, to which he had endeavoured to bring him, continued to move him, and thus concluded his exhortation, 'I have proved to you how highly Nervalle's conduct and person deserve contempt; you feel the sad effects of a love which you must completely banish; you see necessity of an open rupture; this is the manner in which you must bring it about, and in a moment
