CHAPTER IX. 



"All earth's astir, rous'cl with the revelry 

 Of vigour, health, and joy ! Cheer awakes cheer, 

 While Echo's mimic tongue that never tires 

 Keeps up the hearty din :— Each face is then 

 Its neighbours glass— where gladness sees itself, 

 And at the bright reflection grows more glad ! 

 Breaks into tenfold mirth ! — laughs like a child, 

 Would make a gift of its own heart, it is so free ! 

 Would scarce accept a kingdom, 'tis so rich ! 

 Shakes hands with all, and vows it never knew 

 That life was life before." 



Love Chase.
