EVENING, as, mufing on my lonely way,

I wander on, mine eye delights to view Thy mellow'd tints, of many a sober hue, Steal flowly o'er the radiance of the day; The till hour foothes my foul, and wears away Sad Mem'ry's painful thought, as many a dream

Fond Fancy pictures, in her vifion'd theme Of coming joy: but foon with flerner fway Frowns the dark Heav'n; thy fadly-pleafing light,

Friendly to Meditation, fhall decay

Amid the fhadows of defcending night.

Ah, lovely dreams! fo, tho' my toul delights On you to dwell, Truth's form fevere pursues, To blend your airy forms with Sorrow's fable hues. B.

A wealthy fon of Commerce faunter by, BRISTOW's citizen:

e paus'd, and look'd, With a pleas'd fadness, and gazed all around; Then ey'd our cottage, and gazd round again, And faid, it is a bieffed toile place!

And we were b'effed! Oft with patient ear
Long-lift'ning to the viewlefs fky-la k's note,
(Viewlefs, or haply for a moment, feen
Gleaming on funny wing) in whifper'd tones
I faid to my beloved, "Such, fwect girl!
Th' inobtrufive fong of happine's:

Unearthly minirelfy! then only heard
When the foul feeks to hear: when all is hufh'd,
And the heart liftens !"

But the time, when firft
From that low dell fleep up the ftony mount
I climb'd with perilous toil, and reach'd the top,
O what a godly fcene! Here the bleak mount,
The bare bleak mountain fpeckl'd thin with
theep;

Grey clouds, that fhadowing spot the funny fields;

And river, now with bushy rocks o'erbrow'd, Now winding bright and full with naked banks; And feats, and lawns, the abbey, and the wood,

And cots and hamlets, and faint city-fpire: The channel there, the islands, and white fails, Dim conft, and cloudlike hills, and forclefs

ocean!

It feem'd like Omniprefence! God, methought,
Had built him there a temple! The whole world
Was imay'd in its vaft circumference.
No with profan'd my overwhelmed heart:
Bleft hour! it was a luxury---to be!
Ah, quiet dell! dear cot! and mount fublime!
I was conftrain'd to quit you. Was it right,
While my unnumber'd brethren toil'd and bled,
That I fhould dream away the trusted hours
On rofc-leaf beds, pamp'ring the coward heart
With feelings all too delicate for ufe?
Sweet is the tear, that from fome HOWARD'S

eye

Drops on the cheek of one he lifts from earth:
And he that works me good with unmo: 'd face,
Does it but half: he chills me while he aids;
My benefactor, not my brother man!
Yet even this, this cold beneficence,
Seizes my praife, when I reflect on those,
The fluggard Pity's vifion-weaving tribe!
Who figh for wretchednefs, yet fhun the
wretched,

Nurfing in fome delicious folitude

Their thful loves and dainty fympathies!
I therefore go---and join head, heart, and hand,
Active and firm, to fight the bloodless fight
Of Science, Freedom, and the Truth in Chrift.
Yet oft when after honourable toil
Refts the tir'd mind, and waking loves to dream,
My fpirit fhall revifit thee, dear cot!
Thy jaimin, and thy window-peeping rofe,
And myitles fearlefs of the mild fea-an,
And I ball figh fond wifhes-fweet abode !
Ah! had none greater, and that all had such !
It might be fo---but the time is not yet;
Speed it, O Father! Let thy kingdom come!
S. T. COLERIDGE

REVIEW OF NEW MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS.

A Divertimento for the piano-forte, with Accompaniments for a flute, violin, and violoncello, by Mr. L. Von Ejih. Op. 14. 35. F. Linley.

This divertimento opens with a Marche Religieuf, fucceeded by an air, in common ture, which is again relieved by a movement, Tempo de Allemand. E 6. major, is its standard key; but digreffions into its 4th A 6, and its relative minor C, are given, with peculiar good effect; and contribute, together with other unequivocal works of fcientific qualification, to prove the authors profeffional abilities. The merit of the piece runs in that uniform even tenor, that, to give it a general good character, ather than to enter into any

particular criticifm. appears to us the better mode for its review, and, therefore. we content curfelves with pronouncing it a refpectable compofition, and recommend it as an agreeable and improving exercite for the piano-forte practitioner.

William's Return, a favourite Sea Song, by T. Ambrofe, 15. Riley.

Mr. Ambrofe, whofe capability in little efforts like the prefent, we have frequently admired, has, in this inftance, if we may ufe the expreffion, ftruck off an air, agreeable in itself, and well adapted to the words it is meant to exprefs. Some trivial defects, however, we find ourselves obliged to notice: fuch as the first bur moving wholly in the fourth of the key, and the opportunity that has been omitted to be taken of modulating, after the fixth bar, into the fifth of the key, which would have added to the variety and fpirit of the compofi

tion.

The Mariner, a celebrated Sea Song, written and compofed by John Moulds, and fung by Mr. Denum, with the greatest applaufe, at the Theatre Royal, Drury-lane, Is. Cull ford.

The melody of this little production is, for the moft part, fmeeth and natural, and fome few of its paffages happily expreffive; particularly that applied to the line, "Thus mournful fighed in deep diftrefs." The faults are, that the words in fome places are badly accented, and that the bafs is not throughout well chofen.

The Lover's Rhapfody, compofed by Mr. Battifhill. The words by the late Aaron Hill, efq. Price Is.

Hanifon and Co.

It was with much pleafure that we perufed this beautiful little ballad. The melody is rich, and the fentiment of the poetry elegantly and faithfully conveyed. Mr. Battiihill's profeilional reputation, fo long and fo well earned, naturally attaches much expectation to whatever he that the prefent compofition is qualified produces, yet it is barely juftice to fay, to fatisfy the moft fanguine idea of the real connoiffeur.

Three Sonatas for the Piano-Forte or Harpfichord, with an Accompaniment for a flute or violin; compo:ed, and refpectfully dedicated to Mifs Barrett, by W. Howard, 75. 6d. Fentum.

We had much pleasure in the perusal of these fonatas. Genius and tafte form their general and predominant features, and exhibit Mr. Howard as a very promifing compofer. The firft fonata comprifes two movements, the firf of which is bufy and fpirited, and the second (in tempo di minuetto) elegant and scientific, The fecond piece opens with a move. ment in, Allegro moderato, remarkably

fmooth
