 lii'e in Edinburgh fome years ago, oppo/tte to a gentleman, wiio 

 vjas fully fenfibl: of her charms. The illufwn ivas mutuaU 

 but contrary to the opinion of their parents. The Lady ufed 

 to open her windozu fhutters, and placed the candle to be feen 

 by the Ini'er. He hajlened with the eagernefs of youth and im- 

 patience ; but unfortunately the firfl Jignal was difconcerted by

 taper to be put out. The Ferfes below were fent tie nest day

VtRSES to a Lady by her Lo-ver, who thought fhe jilted him. 



When Hero from the watch tow'r head 



Her taper light difplay'd ; 

 "vVith eager halle Leandcr iped, 



And iought his beauteous maid. 

 But foon, alas ! black ftorms ai ife, 



AVhite waves on high are toft \ 

 By ruffian winds the taper dies, 



And poor Leander's loft. 

 A piteous tale ! unhappy youth ! 



How cruel was thy fate ! 

 Who for thy conftancy and truth 



A watery grave didft meet. 



Wretched indeed ! but think, dear maid, 



Who doft thefe lines perufe, 

 Hero her taper ne'er difplay'd, 



Leander to refufe. 



The Honey Moori. A So?ig, 



When maidens enter into life, 

 And blufhing Mifs becomes the wife, 



Tile female heart's in tune ; 

 When love beat's high, and reafon's hid. 

 And dearie does whate'er he's bid, 



Then fprings the Honey Moon.
