ON COMPLEATING HIS SEVENTY-FIRST VOLUME,

STII

TILL as young Mem'ry fills her spacious urn,

Again from Recoliection's honey'd Nore
Refreshment springs, more vivid than before ;
Her vernal'veft in varied colouring wrought,
Her sober brow with added wisdom fraught,
She o'er tbv pages iheds a cheerful licht,
And bids the landscape every view unite
All that attracts the ever-active mind
Within utility's wide rage confin'd;
All that the Sage adopts, or Patriots own,
To raise the cottage, or support the throne ;
To lend humanity its utmost grace,
And bind each blessing to the human race,
With liberty conjoin'd, “ that loves the laws,"
And spurns mad licence, and her anarch cause;
Which once diffolving every nobler tie,
Wealth, Genius, Virtue, equal in her eye,
Her curse to render still the more compleat,
At length expels Religion from her feat:
So, when the sun obtrudes his blazing light,
The guilt-struck wretch prefers the shades of night!

But now, excluded from the haunts of men,
That Dragon systein feeks its darksome den ;
New Temples rise where victims lately scream'd,
And incense curls where deadly meteors glean'd;
The weary mind is by the Crois fuftain'd,
And Hope consoles where Doubt alone complain'd;
Sweet Concord, and the charities of life,
Discord subdue, and never-ending strife;
And where Division, many.tongu’d, was heard,
One common off 'ring owns one common Lord,
Thefe, and the wond'rous changes of the year,
That far exceed the Mase's narrow sphere,
In URBAN's ample pages ftill display
Whate'er refines the intellectual ray,
Informs the judgment, or exalts the sense,
All that to notice claims the just pretence,
While Science reasons, or while Fancy strays,
Or liberal Criticisin awards the bays :
Thus ev'ry year, for ev'ry taste is given,
Whate'er can sweeten life, or antedate a heaven.
