SOUL. 
ANIMULA, vagula, blandula, 
Hofpes comefque corporis 3 ’ 
Quse nunc abibis in Joca? 
Pallidula, rigida, nudula, 
Nee (ut foles) dabis joca. 
TRANSLATION. 
Little, courteous, wand’ring thing, 
Whither wilt thou turn thy wing, 
The body’s friend and gueft: 
Pale and naked, cold as clay, 
Forgot, alas! thy wonted play, 
Where wilt thou take thy reft? 
Cambridge, Fune 17, 1796. 
TRANSLATION OF A LATIN POEM 
OF POLITIAN, TO LORENZO DE 
MEDICI *. . 
WHILE burning with poetic fire, 
To thee I tune th’ applaufive lyre ; 
The jeering rabble flyly note, 
(And well they may) my threadbare coat, 
My thoes, that, gall’d by conftant wearing, 
‘Threaten to give my toes an airing. 
The rogues but il conceal their {mirking, 
When they remark my ragged jerkin: 
They cry, ’m but a {curvy poct, 
And {wear my thabby tatters fhow it: 
While you, Lorenzo, fo bepraife me, 
Your flatt’ry’s, fure, enough to craze me. 
But prove your eulogies fincere ; 
Have mercy on my character, 
And (no great boon your bard befeeches) 
Send me—at leaft, a pair of breeches. 

A HYMN, 
COMPOSED IN A MORNING'S WALK 
NEAR CONGLETON, MAY 13, 1758. 
By the late Rev. Mr. TURNER, of Wakefield, 
«eT “HESE are thy glorious works, Parent of 
Good :”” 
The hill, the vale, the paftures, and the 
wood ; : 
Rich in thy bounties, in thy beauties gay, 
Nature falutes thy Sun’s enliv’ning ray. 
How glorious in thy ftrength he mounts the 
fky, | 
The fpotlefs azure Heav’ns rejoice on high. 
The dewy bleflings of this morning hour, 
At thy command, the Vapours foftly ihower. 
How wide this arch is fpread, that bending 
round 
With genial influence broods o’er the teeming 
ground ! 
By thee, yon lofty. Mountain + rears its. 
head : 
By thee, this humble Walley t finks its bed.

- Thefe riv’lets § thine, which murmur through 
the mead ; 
To thee, great Source of Good, their winding 
channels lead. 
Cali’d forth by thee, thefe .Weods their 
leaves difplay, 
T’ enrich their verdure in the folar ray. 
Thou cloath’fi” each hedge and bufh, each 
herb and plant— 
To thefe fair blooming hopes thy bleffing grant! 
Blefs thou the rifing corn, the grafly field; 
And let thy bounty plenteous harvefts yield ! 
On thy fupplies both man and beafi attend ; 
On th’ opening year thou fmil’f, thy goodnefs 
crowns its end. 
What various flow’ry beauties fpread the 
; field, Cee 
Which through the healthy air their fragrance 
yield! 
The crowfoot, daifie, cowflip’s golden hue, 
The dandelion, violet’s lovely blue. 
How many more their modett graces hide 
In the hedge-bottom, or the thicket’s fide! 
The primrofe, harebell, with the ftarwort fair, 
And low ground-ivy’s bloom perfume the air. 
Thefe, and each painted form that decks the 
land, ) 
Blend their unrival’d tin@ures, and Confefs thy 
hand, 
The feather’d tribes to thee their voices raife, 
Rejoice in being, and refound thy praife. . 
With lab’ring wing, the lark, fcarce feen on 
high, i 
Inceffant pours his mattins through the iky. 
Perch’d on yon lofty poplar’s topmoft {pray, 
The fhrill thrufh welcomes the bright tource of 
day. 
Deep in the thicket hid, the blackbird thy, 
His mellow whiftle tunes, to aid the common 
joy- : 
The wood-lark, glory of the warbling 
throng, 
Alternate finks, and fwells his varied fong. 
The gaudy goldfinch, linnet, white-throat fair, 
With mufical confufion load the air. ‘ 
In deeper note the ring-dove ’midf the groves, 
To his coy mate foft-cooing breathes his loves. 
The hit’ning fwains, through ev’ry brow and 
dale, 
Telighted hear, and fhaut the cuckoo’s fimple 
“tale. i 
The flocks and herds, whom thow 
~ fupply’ft with food, 
Enjoying thank thee, and pronounce it good. - 
The fleecy people crop the early dew ; 
The tender lambs their harmlefs fports purfue. 
The heifer’s low fills all the valleys round ; 
The mimic wood-nymph propagates the found. 
The fweet-breath’d cows the herbage greedy 
graze, | 
The frolic calf his clumfy gambols plays.
