And bull frogt would grunt at hit fate,

And I grieve that I prii'd them no mere.
But why do I languih in vain t
Why wander thut penfively here r
Oh I why did I come from the plain.
Where I fed on the foil lea of my dear I
They tell me my favorite maid,
The pride of the vally, it flown
Alat I where with her t bave flray'd,
I could wander with pleafure alone.
When fore'd the fair nimph to forego, ,
What anguilh I felt at my heart I
Yet I thought but it might not be fo,
Twtt with pain that (he faw me depart
She gaa'd at I lowly withdrew j
My path I could hardly difcero
So fweetly (he bada me adieu,
I thought that flu bade roe retire
The pilgrim that Journey t all day
To viAt fonte far difltnt (hunt,
If he bear but a ret ique away,
It happy, nor beard to repine.
Thue widely rtmov'd from the fair,
Where my f owi, my devotion, I
Soft hope it the redone I bear,
And my folate wherever I go.

' On the 17th Sept. a deputation from the

Before the revolution a perfon pretend.
ing to fail from Havre to Paris, would have
been taken for a madman. In 1 793 and cjA,
there was no "longer any thing thought tm..
po(fible4andfthey fpoke already of making
Paris a lea-port town. But at that time the
whole projeft feemed but a fine dream to the
calm obferver, for according to appearances,
large mountains muft firft be removed,. fpa
cious canals were to be opened,- and the bed
of the rjyer muft be rendered dceperj this
would have coft enormous expenfes, withi ut
any great probability of.attaihiug the c'ellred
objecl. But the republican artift, earner to
ferve and not to ruin his country, roaitruA
