BURNS'S SONGS, Sa of Juno and Ceres_

_Ju_ ”Honour, | riches,con | _-tinuance_, | and in | -creasing, Hourly | joys be | still up | -on you!

Juno | sings her | blessings | on you”

_Cer_ ”Earth's in | -crease, and | foison | plenty; Barns and | garners | never | e; Plants with | goodly | burden | bowing; Spring come | to you, | at the | farthest, In the | very | end of | harvest!

Scarci | -ty and | want shall | shun you; Ceres' | blessing | so is | on you”

SHAKSPEARE: _Tempest_, Act iv, Sc 1

_Example IV--On the Vowels_

”We are | little | airy | creatures, All of | diff'rent | voice and | features; One of | us in | glass is | set, One of | us you'll | find in | jet;

T'other | you may | see in | tin, And the | fourth a | box with | -in; If the | fifth you | should pur | -sue, It can | never | fly from | you”

SWIFT: _Johnson's British Poets_, Vol v, p 343

_Example V--Use Time for Good_

”Life is | short, and | time is | swift; Roses | fade, and | shadows | shi+ft; But the ocean | and the | river Rise and | fall and | flow for | ever;

Bard! not | vainly | heaves the | ocean; Bard! not | vainly | flows the | river; Be thy | song, then, | like their || ever”

EBENEZER ELLIOT: _From a Newspaper_

_Example IV[sic for VI--KTH]--”The Turkish Lady”--First Four Stanzas_

1

”'Twas the | hour when | rites un | -holy Called each | Paynim | voice to | pray'r, And the | star that | faded | slowly, Left to | dews the | freshened | air

2

Day her | sultry | fires had | wasted, Calht | rose; E'en a | captive's | spirit | tasted Half ob | -livion | of his | woes

3

Then 'twas | froht; She, in | spite of | tyrants | jealous, Saw and | loved an | English | knight

4

'Tell ed thee | here to | dwell Where poor | Christians, | as they | languish

Hear no | sound of | sabbath | bell?'”
