The sex when Midian’s camp is takeny 
Virgins excepted, too he slays. 
What princefs could ensure her bacon, 
At such an onset now a days ? 
Good faith! Augusta Trinobantum*, 
With all his quails wou’d rather want him.

VERSES INSCRIBED TO A YOUNG LADY, 
[From THE LATIN OF BUCHANAN. ] 
For the Bee. 
Camitra, dearer to my soul 
Than life with all its dearest joys 5 
Thy beauty bids my numbers roll, 
Thy praise ten thousand tongues employs, 
Unlefs the muses and the graces 
Prefer thy glory to chet own: 
I swear they fhall resign their places, 
And thou, sweet girl! succeed alone. 
Such learning at these tender years, 
Till now Minerva ne’r beheld, 
And Phebus with amazement hears 
His wit,—his music,—far excell’d. 
Each parent’s worth in thine we trace, 
Their virtues make the wonder plain; 
For through thy whole illustrious race, 
Parnafsus:glows in every vein. 
Puito BucHANANUS,

SONNET. 
"Twas ina fhady grove where ivy twin’d 
With creeping tendrils round the knotty trees, 
A damsel sat,—her grief and sighs combin’d 
In murm’ring whispers with the western breeze. 
- She mourn’d the fate of virtue and of love, 
Which, wrong directed, prove the source of pain; 
But when with mutual sympathy they move, 
Our pafsing days glide smoothly on gain. 
So glimm’ring wanders in its heav’nly sphere, 
The twinkling star of eve to ey eye, 
Till once the orb increasing sparkles fair, 
And gains its glorious summit in the sky. M.
