FARMER, 



APRJI. 18 11*38. 



We lire indebted to a friend, who, to speak plireno- 

 logically, his wit and tune l.uffely developed, with no 

 small end'iwment of iiluality, for ih'^ •;iibji>inod stanzas 

 If (he rhyme has a few " corns on its toes," which 

 make it liinp a liltle, the humane sentiments wliicli 

 characterize it throughnut, will find a response in every 

 kind heart. We think it w"(iM be difficult to find a 

 more perfect imitation than that contained in tho fonrtii 

 stanza. it throws quite inio tho baek ground the 

 " Quadriipedante putrem sonitn,*' &c. of Virgil, and 

 *' the jarring doors" of Milton," ** opening on their 

 gmtirig iiinges wiUi impetuous recoil." Our friend 

 Tityrus will, we hope, often lotjch his lute the com- 

 ing genial season, under some spreading beech tree ; 

 nnd cheer the jocund husbandman driving bis team a' 

 field, with his pleasant songs. 



THE THRUSH. ♦ 



As oft as the rosy spring returns 



Do the feathered tribes appear, 

 With their varying ni.tes of melody, 



To greet the ploughman's ear. 



The smarf, lilllo dusky Thrush is one ; — 



What a saucy and nois}' perl ! 

 And yet, by his song, so queer and droll, 



I am sure he can mean no hurt. 



When perch'd on the tiptop of some pine^ 



He jabbers both loud and long ; 

 And, if we could mimic his toll-tale note 

 Tlien this m:ght seem like his song. 



CkefriJy O, cheerily, 0~tweedle, tweedle, tweedlc ; 



Pretty Prudy. pretty Prudy. pretty Prudy ; — 

 *Vec, see, see .' little Jo, little Jo, 

 Kissing Judy, kissing Judy, kissing Judy .' 



By his song, so quaint, we're amused all day, 

 And we lau^'li at the merry, merry trill ; 



Then liie minstrel, soon as the twilight comes, 

 Gives way to the JVInp-poor-will. 



Now, he that has " music in his soul," 



Be a farmer well he may ; 

 For the Thrush, or the Bluehirdj Rohin or Lark, 



Will enliven his labor all day. 



The noxious insects serve for their food ; 



And for tiiis I do contend, 

 (In 8|>ile of slander, nr prejudice,) 



£ach one is the farmer's friend. 



Then welcome to me, ye choristers, 

 Sing away, sing away, sweet Thrush ; 



'T would gladden my heart, eacli day to hear 

 A warbler from every bush
