TIME.
-The power of kings ; the lover's ardent flame ; •The patriot's, hero's, poet's dear-won fame ; The stately towers, that seem to flout the sky ; -The peasant's hut, unmarked save by God's eye ; Beauty aud wealth, and all the roseate glow That tempted gods to seek their loves below, Have crumbled at my touch ; and I, imaged, Have swallowed all with craving unassuuged. Another round has flown my rapid car, And scattered bliss and sorrow, piece and war. Again I raise my solemn warning breath, And flaunt my sickle, threat" ning woe and death. Prepare to die, ye sops of pigmy race ; . -The end approaches ; meet it face to face. Another short probation yet is given To wean the heart from earth, aud lead the soul i$ heaven. P.Q. January 1, 18C9.
