5d DE BERANOER AND HIS SOKOS. 



With honour — glory — love — imbued, 



I passed my youthful days elate. 

 Alas! in Caledonia rude, 



How sadly changed will be my fate. 



Adieu, dear France, adieu to thee, 



No other clime with thee can vie — 

 Thy bosom long hath cradled me. 



Adieu — to quit thee is to die! 



Sovereign power tempts in vain, 



'Midst Scotland's mists and winds so keen, 

 But if decreed that I must reign, 



I would of smiling France be queen. 

 So happy hitherto I've been. 



That now I dread to cross the sea. 

 Since in a fearful dream I've seen 



A horrid scaffold raised for me ! 



Adieu, dear France, adieu to thee, 



No other clime with thine can vie — 

 Thy bosom long hath cradled me. 



Adieu — to quit thee is to die ! 



Oh France, whatever ills assail 



The daughter of the Stuart line. 

 When ev'ry other aid shall fail. 



Many will rest secure of thine. 

 Alas, too fast the vessel sails, 



We pass beneath black threal'ning skies ; 

 And darkest night already veils 



The dim coast from my tearful eyes. 



Adieu, dear France, adieu to thee ; 



No other clime with thine can vie : 

 Thy bosom long hath cradled me, — 



Adieu, — to quit thee is to die ! 



We shall conclude our series by " Le Chant du Cosaque," in which 

 the poet beautifully alludes to the evil consequences which may ensue 

 from the introduction of the wild hordes of Russia into civilized Europe, 

 since her ancient ramparts, Poland and Turkey, may be said to he no 

 more ; and though these verses were written in 1815, when France was 

 smarting beneath the presence of the Cossacks, they have, through the 

 insatiable ambition and barbarian cunning of the Russian Government, 

 become even more appropriate to the present day. The Cossack is sup- 

 posed to be addressing his horse previous to another or third expedition 

 into western Europe. 



THE Cossack's address to his charger. 



Approach, my horse — the Cossack's noble friend, 

 Dost thou not hear the trumpets of the north ? 



Prompt to attack ;is ready to defend — 



Aided by thee, I'll towards the west set forth-
