And such, | I exclaim'd, | is the pit | -iless part So | -ing and break | -ing a heart Alread | -y to sor | -row resign'd
This el | -egant rose, | had I shak | -en it less, Might have bloom'd | with its own | -er a while; And the tear | that is wip'd | with a lit | -tle address, May be fol | -low'd perhaps | by a slish Reader_, p 212

”He is gone | on the mount | -a~in He is lost | to the for | -~est Like a sum | -mer-dried foun | -ta~in When our need | was the sor | -~est
The font, | reappear | -~ing, From the rain | -drops shall bor | -r~ow, But to us | co, Do Dun | -can no mor | -r~ow!

The hand | of the reap | -~er Takes the ears | that are hoar | -~y, But the voice | of the weep | -~er Wails , Waft the leaves | that are sear | -~est, But our flow'r | was in flush | -~ing, When blight | -ing was near | -~est”

_Example III--An Ode, from the French of Malherbe_
”This An | -na so fair, So talk'd | of by fame, Why dont | she appear?
Indeed, | she's to blahs | for the sake Of her charms, | as they say; What excuse | can sheaway?
If he does | not possess, He dies | with despair; Let's give | hio find | out the fair”
”Cette Anne si belle, Qu'on vante si fort, Pourquoi ne vient elle?
Vraiment, elle a tort!
Son Louis soupire, Apres ses appas; Que veut elle dire, Qu'elle ne vient pas?
S'il ne la possede, Il s'en va mourir; Donnons y remede, Allons la querir”
WILLIAM KING, LL D: _Johnson's British Poets_, Vol iii, p 590

”'Tis the last | rose of su alone; All her love | -ly coone; No flow'r | of her kin | -_dr~ed_, No rose | -bud is nigh, To give | back her blush | -_~es_, Or give | sigh for sigh
